  Gary Fretwell (@GaryFretwell1) reported 10 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @virginmedia I appreciate your advice, but rather than ask fellow customers for a fix I’d rather hope @virginmedia trained staff would be able to rectify this issue. I’ll try the forum, but this is not the way to run a business….@Ofcom

  Virginmedia Rotherham some with no internet and no TV known issues in the area 6pm fix time

  Ed Foster (@EJJFoster) reported 14 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @virginmedia I have tried the status but its saying the service is fine. Yet all the people on out estate are complaining they cannot get onto Virgin internet. We cannot book an engineer as isolating. Why is it constantly broken or speeds so slow?

• 
  Karen Walsh (@kaw7676) reported 14 minutes ago from Normanton, England

  @virginmedia it’s impossible to contact them with a complaint if you aren’t a customer.

  Oliver Dean #TeamLH (@ollieinleeds) reported 16 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @virginmedia you must have the most unreliable internet service in the UK. Several times a year it goes down for a full working day. Again today, "Unplanned Outage" yet your van was here within seconds. Unplanned my arse. Compensate my loss of earnings! #poorService

  @virginmedia how do I order a new hub please? My current one loses network access and needs rebooting every hour or so. Not ideal when working from home. There are no known service issues so I’m thinking it’s a hub issue.

  Claire Stewart (@chococlaire77) reported 23 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  Well @virginmedia what a waste of our time today,we booked an engineer in the time slot 8-12,and nobody arrived I’m afraid.Tried contacting you,and can’t get through...can anyone help?

  Reece Bryan (@ReeceBryan94) reported 24 minutes ago from Wombwell, England

  @virginmedia how do we get the new wifi extender pods or a new Virgin Hub? Our wifi signal and speed changes dramatically between the front and back of the house, the coverage is dreadful

  @virginmedia hi is there an issue in wakefield with the broadband? It has been off all afternoon. Constantly on the blink!!

• 
  Nick Lawton (@Pontemiller) reported 34 minutes ago from Knottingley, England

  I think very soon I'll be saying 👋 to @ThreeUK and 🤝 to @virginmedia...over the last couple of years, the signal has got increasingly worse. I have just bought a new phone, but the problem persists...really unhappy.

  Marc Riley (@Sheffield_Boy) reported 36 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia got a flashing Internet light on router that won't go away so my WiFi (and therefore TV/ streaming etc) not working. Tried rebooting, resetting, the works. Online help / faq no help. Are there any issues?

  Andrew Lee (@goonie2008) reported 38 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia @O2 Its definitely you lot Robin as your broadband service was a disgrace when I moved to you and I had to pay out for cancelling contract early. If this is what’s to come O2 then you will a customer of over 15 years.

  Chirpy Frances (@chirpyfrances) reported 47 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  Been through 16 mths of lockdown, 3 working from home & hardly a glitch on the broadband. Last 8wks its gone down for several minutes a day between 10am and 1pm. Only on weekdays & its supposed to be a problem with our hub, really? An engineer could find it @virginmedia #shoddy

• 
  John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported 47 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia No problem, and thank you for sorting it out quickly. May be worth making sure telephone staff tell customers about call out charges as I had no idea they applied in this situation.

  Bradley Oliver (@ch3dd3r24) reported 2 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Yeah apparently an engineer been working hard to fix it, was meant to be fixed by 16:30 now saying 20:30

• 
  Geoff Undrell (@geoff_undrell) reported 6 minutes ago

  @virginmedia It’s the router that needs replacing. It no longer powers up. Apparently there is no way to ship a replacement until an engineer brings it to me in May. Please help - surely a new router can be dispatched before then? This seems ludicrous.

• 
  Dale Archer (@dale_archer) reported 7 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Spent hours on the phone. How can the community help !! Why hasn’t VM responded to my complaint. Surely you can pass this to someone to reply to me !

• 
  Juggzy Malone (@Juggzy) reported 7 minutes ago

  And while I was online via BT (which is how I had accessed the @virginmedia chat where I was told that there was an intermittent and area fault affecting only ... er ... me) I was sent a signal from the hub via thehome WiFi (which is still working) which killed that connection.

  Junior A (@JnrAppiah11) reported 9 minutes ago

  @virginmedia 2 days no service... fix up!

• 
  Skasha (@skashax777x) reported 11 minutes ago

  @virginmedia how ever after multiple calls and undue stress, I finally have an engineer booked who will be able to see the issue first hand and that it is the box it self at fault

• 
  Haze🕊 (@HazelCathrin) reported 12 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I am SO disappointed with your service!! You delayed my installation date from 23rd March to 2nd April, then sent someone over to just say you can’t actually do it today!?!? What on Earth have you been doing the last 2 weeks!?

• 
  Wilty (@Wilty_3) reported 13 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Of course. Your customer service is useless & u can’t resolve a thing. Last phone call I repeated the issue 3 times, slowly & clearly, & the staff couldn’t understand. I gave up & hung up. My contract should be null & void cos u can’t provide even the most basic customer service

• 
  tony (@brooklands911) reported 13 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Well its not happened as expected for the 3rd time,its a issue from October and still not sorted now, have opened up 5 complaints on your site , each time with them its closed after 4 weeks with no contact

• 
  Geoff Undrell (@geoff_undrell) reported 17 minutes ago

  @virginmedia The outcome is that no one can do anything until May. We’ve established the box needs replacing but apparently you can’t send me a replacement until an engineer comes with it. I’m a home worker and this is a major problem 🤯 I’m left to try and buy a second hand one on eBay!
