    @virginmedia It's not just my house, I checked with other people living in the village and they all have the same problem. Your app is now saying its a known issue, tv+bb est fix 11.25am but phone est fix 4pm. In the past if phone don't work none will. Its every week now.

  • itslakeyyy Kieran Lake (@itslakeyyy) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia No issues reported. A reboot of the hub seems to do the trick however it’s an inconvenience doing that 4-5 times a day.

  • Westyafcm ✌🏻 Ŵęśtŷ™⚽️🍺🎼❌ (@Westyafcm) reported from Hinckley, England

    @virginmedia hi, WiFi issues in LE10, keeps dropping out for last 2-3 days.

  • ashleyYNWA ashley bennett (@ashleyYNWA) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia I was told to message my complaint on here

  • MonkeyJuggleDX2 アンドルー (@MonkeyJuggleDX2) reported from Loughborough, England

    @SkyHelpTeam We've had technicians out multiple times and it's made no difference. We NEVER had any issues when we had @virginmedia!

  • jonnyriall Jonathon Riall (@jonnyriall) reported from Shepshed, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for the reply. On both occasions there's apparently been no issues, and none shown again this morning. It's more the fact that even though it happened twice in a week, and having waited on hold for 30min each time, I just get told to call back if it happens again.

  • corfu1957 Paul Roberts (@corfu1957) reported from Leicestershire, England

    50 mins talking to an engineer who then couldn't connect the new box and now have to have an engineer come out to sort it @virginmedia you need to get your customer service sorted

  • corfu1957 Paul Roberts (@corfu1957) reported from Leicestershire, England

    So now I am on the phone to the help line and the waiting starts and as usual virgin media fail again

  • smarts35 Martine kotecha (@smarts35) reported from Braunstone, England

    @virginmedia I know all the protocols!!! I need what I pay you for I bet @richardbranson doesn't have this problem in the upstairs of his house!!!!!

  • XStatikPulse Itza Secret (@XStatikPulse) reported from Castle Donington, England

    @virginmedia I would call 150 from my land-line to say that broadband and TV are down, but the phone isn't working either! And your call centre doesn't open till 8 (should be 24/7 when u sell a 24/7 product)

  • jonmac36 jon (@jonmac36) reported from Thurmaston, England

    @virginmedia my 3G is 100 times better than your crap WiFi

  • Deborahbham Deborah Davidson 🕷 (@Deborahbham) reported from Leicestershire, England

    1. @richardbranson cannot tell you how incensed I am at the poor service I have had since signing up to @virginmedia - no one can help me sort out getting a good and consistent internet signal across the whole house (which @bt_uk could) - amazed how the new technology is worse.

  • jonnyriall Jonathon Riall (@jonnyriall) reported from Shepshed, England

    @virginmedia It doesn't feel like paying £50+ a month for no fancy services (basic TV and broadband) this is great customer service.

  • alisonllove1 Alison Love (@alisonllove1) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @simonrim @virginmedia I had good service chatting via Twitter but elsewhere absolutley useless

  • CharlesinRome Charles Collins (@CharlesinRome) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia The website says it's fine. When I called later, though, it said they were working on a problem and would text an update. That was 12 hours ago

  • MatthewWalne Matthew Walne (@MatthewWalne) reported from Mountsorrel, England

    @virginmedia Often get “internet unavailable” and phone line hasn’t worked since we moved over from Sky. Fair to say unless it gets sorted soon I will be going back to Sky snd getting a refund for having no working phoneline. Been a terrible experience.

  • XStatikPulse Itza Secret (@XStatikPulse) reported from Castle Donington, England

    @virginmedia Patience! I'm absolutely furious! How dare you assume I'm happy to wait! I hardly have a choice in the matter. I work nights I only get time in the morning for relaxing in front of the TV and I probably won't be able to till Monday cos ur service is shit!

  • MatthewWalne Matthew Walne (@MatthewWalne) reported from Mountsorrel, England

    @virginmedia I don’t know what the issue is but trying to work from home without Broadband that is supposed to be better than Sky isn’t helpful. No one seems bothered about the phone line either!

  • alisonllove1 Alison Love (@alisonllove1) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @McGiff @virginmedia Omg I have the same problem absolutley rubbish I need to look for a new provider x

  • bbi787 Kevin Mc (@bbi787) reported from Hinckley, England

    @virginmedia Yes. Have had several conversations with them starting many months ago. Had new hub, engineer visit etc though problems persist. Didn't stop you raising prices for a service not delivered. I don't think there's a problem with the hardware, i think it may be too much local demand.

    @virginmedia As a virgin media customer I can conform the only scammers are virgin media. They sell packages and then bit by bit remove channels and then create roadblocks to prevent customers complaining. Do yourself a favour and avoid Virgin Media, rip offs

  • angelawhitetoon angela white (@angelawhitetoon) reported

    @virginmedia broadband down again NE45AQ

  • Scousetwit scousetwit (@Scousetwit) reported

    @virginmedia I have one gig in my house and have got no wifi in three rooms. Terrible

  • Ed6114 Ed61 (@Ed6114) reported

    @virginmedia @watchdog Apart from the standard, “switch off, reset, have you checked the service status?” no they haven’t. Oh and the “check Virgincommunity” Great more of my time trying to fix your issues when we all know the Hub3 is as much use as a chocolate teapot.

  • DTInfoGov Deb Topping - DTInfoGov (@DTInfoGov) reported

    @virginmedia I need to sign in to read and don't have those details with me. Cos house phone is VoIP we have to ring from mobile when problems. Have logged complaints but just get letters saying thanks, complaint closed. If anyone wants to DM me happy to discuss.

  • sk_y_e ayup skye ☻ (@sk_y_e) reported

  • CeeGeevintage CeeGeeVintage (@CeeGeevintage) reported

    @virginmedia Hi John it’s been very interment. Much better this evening. Unfortunately we are still loosing WiFi signal upstairs. We sent a letter (after exhausting all avenues online) but no one has replied to the letter we posted?

  • tj54hol Tom Holland (@tj54hol) reported

    @virginmedia @garysmartin Absolute bull ****. You raised the price of my monthly package by £32 a couple of months ago
