    @virginmedia After spending 1 hour on hold, I gave up. I just want to order a booster for my broadband! Please help!

  • Garyonline1 Gary dorrington (@Garyonline1) reported from Chipping Ongar, England

    @virginmedia We have had no coverage over the weekend in december we were without service for 10 days this seems to be an ongoing problem which you are failing to cure

  • MrsDyer25 Laura Dyer (@MrsDyer25) reported from Great Baddow, England

    @virginmedia So what can be done to improve the technical issues we are having? Could it be our equipment?

  • Paul07852224 Paul (@Paul07852224) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia Hi, yeah done that - no issues

  • maharrison Mark Harrison (@maharrison) reported from Chelmsford, England

  • MrsDyer25 Laura Dyer (@MrsDyer25) reported from Great Baddow, England

  • STrimnell Simon Trimnell (@STrimnell) reported from Saffron Walden, England

    What is wrong with #virginmedia again tonight wifi slow and signal terrible been like it all week diet it out @virginmedia #virginmediadown

  • maharrison Mark Harrison (@maharrison) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia I have continually tried to call, your wait times are really unacceptable, anyway I have also opted for the text service, however no text received. I am losing faith I’ve been waiting since August for some kind of contact from you. Any other options?

  • joniread68 Jon Read (@joniread68) reported from Great Baddow, England

    Any @virginmedia customers out there who’ve been landed a price increase - just ring them on 03454541111 and the automated service immediately offers you a £4.50 pm discount for 6 months = £27 of savings. Bit of a weird way of doing business but obvs hope many just suck it up. 👍

  • DjOoooosch CK|Fitness (@DjOoooosch) reported from Braintree, England

    @virginmedia How is it I can buy a new mobile phone from you yet I can’t speak to anyone about my current phone? Shocking and **** Customer care.

  • RohanAtaa Rohan Ataa (@RohanAtaa) reported from Great Notley, England

    @virginmedia @deantorris Why you guys don't have call back service?

  • Garyonline1 Gary dorrington (@Garyonline1) reported from Chipping Ongar, England

    @virginmedia No apparently there are ongoing issues in my area Cm5 9az which you are hoping to resolved by the 5th but not definite i just wish you would inform customers when these faults occur rather than us chasing you up

  • leipperm m (@leipperm) reported from Braintree, England

    It's annoying that @virginmedia customer service refused to acknowledge this other persons details had some how been linked to my email with my bank account on their account.

  • MrsDyer25 Laura Dyer (@MrsDyer25) reported from Great Baddow, England

    @virginmedia I have checked and there are no faults. I am still having issues over a week later and this is totally unacceptable! Two children trying to take part of zoom lessons which they keep dipping in and out of as the connection just keeps dropping! Unable to get through to you on 150

  • DjOoooosch CK|Fitness (@DjOoooosch) reported from Braintree, England

    @virginmedia Please don’t conveniently close the live chat because you cut my phone and you’re having massive issues. The phone is my business phone and you are now liable for any missed work. Sort it out, shocking service.

  • Garyonline1 Gary dorrington (@Garyonline1) reported from Chipping Ongar, England

    @virginmedia Also it would be nice for someone to point out what is the problem we are currently having.

  • shorty1892 steven short (@shorty1892) reported

    @virginmedia I have virgin tv, virgin broadband and 3 virgin mobile phones and the reception is shocking. The router provides WiFi in a radius of 3 yards at best and all costumer service says is there is nothing wrong. Obviously there is because if I walk up stairs the signal drops off

  • dghdavies President Elect - Dave Davies - CONJOB-19 (@dghdavies) reported

    @kmacbean123 Mine has been slow for a few days - Virgin Media

  • shorty1892 steven short (@shorty1892) reported

    @mickeydubbs @virginmedia Had the excuse, that’s a lot of devices ever though of having another crappy virgin device to boost the signal, NOT FREE, at an additional cost. As if. They should provide a service that’s advertised and sold. Shocking provider and service.

  • stjohn121 StJohn 💙 (@stjohn121) reported

    @virginmedia watching the Champions League on BT ultimate tonight and pixelated like I haven’t experienced for a while! It got so bad the box switched itself off ?!?! Then when it switched itself back on and took ages?!? WHY?

  • kay07954266 kay (@kay07954266) reported

    @virginmedia WiFi down again!!!! Engineer only available on 3rd May….HOW IS THIS GOOD SERVICE!!!

  • mickeydubbs M. Smith (@mickeydubbs) reported

    @virginmedia @Leemhammond I wish my internet was down as then at keast there is an excuse but its not its just rubbish. The lag is killing me 80mbps one minute 0.3 the next. Absolutely killing me!

  • L4dva Harshy (@L4dva) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, amazingly someone has managed to reply to me on Fb although I've had no resolution yet..

  • bradfel Bradley Feller (@bradfel) reported

    @virginmedia Just spoke to 2 people and took 90 minutes. Was passing me through to virtual tech and then phone cut off. This is totally unacceptable. We have no alarm system, no broadband or TV and nobody can help us. What do we do from here?

  • layla_s83 Layla (@layla_s83) reported

    @virginmedia Please help! Our @netflix won't open. Pressed the Red button but it just returns to that same page!? 🤔😠

  • ajthesheepdocto Michelle Wolfenden (@ajthesheepdocto) reported from Grove, England

    @virginmedia Thank you - when I run the TV check it says there is an issue. Guess we just need to sit it out. Sadly we appear to be the only ones in the area with an issue (have asked around)
