    Anyone been having more issues with @virginmedia WiFi since lockdown? Intermittently our phones don’t connect, xboxes lose connection, or if the Xbox is on laptop won’t work! Got 1 PlayStation that is always ok, strange! Not good enough when you pay £138 per month 😡

  • Nicole_Baker NicoleMichelleBaker (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @virginmedia I've spent three hours over two calls waiting for you to confirm a discount on my below standard broadband and to deliver a booster. I have had to escalate a complaint as it couldn't be resolved on the phone yet I'm still waiting for the level of service promised!!!

  • LauraR1707 Laura (@LauraR1707) reported from Bury, England

    @virginmedia hello our box attached to our outside wall is broken and won’t close, wires could be exposed and with the weather changing the water could get in. This has been since we moved in, in April

  • Nicole_Baker NicoleMichelleBaker (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @VirginMediaCorp @virginmedia please contact me, it is imperative that you do. I have received zero customer service from you for a service I pay over £600 a year for. I would like your retention and technical team to make contact asap.

  • matt_stanny Matthew Stansfield (@matt_stanny) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia @virginhelp any chance you can sort the internet issues in BB11, it’s a nightmare at the moment!

  • courtsthomasx 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐀𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐚 (@courtsthomasx) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia My Broadband has been down for quite a few days now. I have no received any text updates and would like to speak to somebody with regards to down time and to get an ETA of when it should be back up and running.

  • matt_stanny Matthew Stansfield (@matt_stanny) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia It says not on there but when I call the support number there is a recorded message saying there is an issue and engineers are working on it.....been same all week.

  • cazatmacs Carol 🐝 (@cazatmacs) reported from Rochdale, England

    @bigphil321 @virginmedia There was 4 virgin media vans around here earlier just off Ryecroft Avenue looks like they’re trying to sort problem out.

  • Nicole_Baker NicoleMichelleBaker (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @virginmedia No, I have one. The complaint referenced twice in this thread. One complaint....zero call backs!!!

  • mooseandme1 Moose And Me (@mooseandme1) reported from Great Harwood, England

    Cracks me up that the main feature of BT’s internet provision currently being advertised is that it breaks! And you can book a slot to fix it Why not invest your advertising budget in stopping it from breaking? Not to be smug but (touch wood) @virginmedia has never conked out!

  • DuncanBamford duncan bamford (@DuncanBamford) reported from Rochdale, England

    @markcharnock @virginmedia They are an absolute joke , been a loyal customer for 25 years , back when it was nynex and cable and wireless , you get nothing for loyalty, **** Turpin got done for less , beardy Branson has got a lot to answer for.

  • gsouthy gsouthy_25 🏆 LIVERPOOL FC 👊🏼 (@gsouthy) reported from Great Harwood, England

    @virginmedia How are things?? Footpath left full of mud. Having to clean footwear off or remove before coming into the house! The whole length of the footpath in front of the houses where your workers have been is a disgrace. Not even rain has washed it clean!! Terrible standard of work! 😤

  • TerryBpne Crazy Corner (@TerryBpne) reported from Walton le Dale, England

    @MintyPNE @virginmedia Yes, camera angle awful. Went for the defer season ticket option to next year, so could have had ifollow tonight, but that has hardly been reliable. Still we are winning!

  • Nw38Wilson nick Wilson (@Nw38Wilson) reported from Rochdale, England

    @virginmedia hi i am a support worker for a customer of yours his broadband hub is very unreliable they have checked it few times but still working fully please can you send replacement hub out please?

  • Nicole_Baker NicoleMichelleBaker (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England

    @virginmedia Then was told a booster would be delivered that never arrived. So when I called back it hadn't actually been ordered. I finally received it yesterday but am still waiting for a call back following a complaint I made and the charges I am not willing to pay for the booster.

  • Petchelli chris petchelli (@Petchelli) reported from Rochdale, England

    @virginmedia what’s going on with the PPV feed. It’s choppy as ****, £25 for this is a joke.

  • SmartCoffeeOff1 Dave R (@SmartCoffeeOff1) reported from Blackburn, England
