    Or @virginmedia just being shit as usual.

  • DigitalJonathan Jonathan Phillips (@DigitalJonathan) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia To repeat, your service drops for a few minutes a day. By the time I check, it’s back. It absolutely frustrates me. On Tuesday, 4mins *just as I needed to start a Skype w a customer*. > 2

  • olikend oliver kendall (@olikend) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia also was offer a system that would improve the WiFi in the house. The netgear pl1000 arrived yesterday and doesn’t give me@any further WiFi coverage. It just extends the network. I only have the one router..

  • xChuChux911 Hi, call me Chu x (@xChuChux911) reported from Bristol, England

    @NightAtKendalls @virginmedia Actually my whole electrics cut out x

  • metallicnat Natalie Timmons (@metallicnat) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia thanks very much! We have been loyal customers for eight years and you granted us an extension with a promise to pay and now you’ve restricted our service two days before deadline for payment really really disappointed!!!

  • rjgux Richard George (@rjgux) reported from Kingswood, England

    @dangerous_85 @virginmedia I really don’t see the point in the service checker. There’s clearly an issue but still says ‘No known issues’. Rediculous

  • bobktheking Bob Krysiak (@bobktheking) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia I have had a terrible experience with Roshan technical support at virgin media. After reporting a fault with my WIFI network three times, he put the phone down on me. These technical support people are arrogant rude and not helpful at all!

  • Yippers Amy (@Yippers) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia No issues with speed at the moment. This is a comparison to what I was getting earlier when I was still using Sky. I’ve had Virgin installed since then.

  • slip_rehill slip_rehill (@slip_rehill) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia thanks, we'd checked that already and no issues. we have tv back but no on demand or broadband yet.

  • mikelind2 Mike Lind 🦏 (@mikelind2) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia - your pathetic service continues. Please get your customer service team to respond to my complaint URGENTLY. 706480004

  • robpearson8 Robbb ♛ (@robpearson8) reported from Filton, England

    @virginmedia Yes and I’ve contact your “help” staff but they were useless

  • DigitalJonathan Jonathan Phillips (@DigitalJonathan) reported from Bristol, England

    Hey @virginmedia - down again. No. You DM me. You fill in your form. You call an engineer. I’m extremely tired of shit service. I’m running my business hotspotting from my @ThreeUK iPhone while your broadband does... oh I dunno.

  • DaveWilliams159 discodave (@DaveWilliams159) reported from Patchway, England

    @virginmedia had the phone disconnected on me 4 times already this morning trying to speak to your complaints team for over 2 hours today!! Shocking service 😡

  • CGBadley Chris Badley (@CGBadley) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Yea, yea. I’ll just carry on being a long term customer mug until my year’s up thanks

  • jongodfrey Jon Godfrey (@jongodfrey) reported from Saltford, England

    I can’t wait. Awful service and complaints handling by @virginmedia so looking forward to @theTRUESPEED

  • metallicnat Natalie Timmons (@metallicnat) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia so yesterday services restricted despite arrangement in place. Spoke to your customer services and services reinstated. Then this morning been restricted again despite arrangement - getting sick of this nonsense #notgoodenough #nosealofapprovalhere

  • Bridgey21 Emma Blackburn (@Bridgey21) reported from Backwell, England

    @virginmedia my WiFi is not working despite paying someone to install it and about 7 hours of troubleshooting so far. One of your agents was helping me and was supposed to call me back 25 minutes ago but hasn’t yet and booster issue still not fixed

  • amias Cut and Pastryarch (@amias) reported from Bristol, England

    @albanwr @cybergibbons I don't use any of my Samsung TVs smart features and deny it network access for that exact reason. But my virgin media V6 box and Netflix account are happily sending sweet something back all the time.

  • olikend oliver kendall (@olikend) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Thanks the router was out next to the tv by the outside wall, so we’ve never been able to use the WiFi in other parts of the house. It really only works well in that room.

  • DigitalJonathan Jonathan Phillips (@DigitalJonathan) reported from Bristol, England

    God you’re hopeless @virginmedia . If I was as poor as you, I’d be out of a job. Broadband down again in BS6. Just another irritating 7mins. Never long enough to fill in your engineers form.

  • natsc0tt N A T A L I E👼🏼 (@natsc0tt) reported from Cheltenham, England

    Call me a Karen but lol imagine paying £80 a month to be getting 1mb of internet and you can barely contact them and when you do they hang up on you🥴 #virginmedia @virginmedia is a piece of utter **** and is a disgrace of a company😤

  • markbritnell Mark Britnell (@markbritnell) reported from Richmond, England

    @virginmedia I have. How do you expect me to work today & tomorrow if the engineer can only come on Tuesday evening? And why doesn’t your customer service centre pick up the calls? I spent about 3 hours yesterday trying to self-diagnose the problem and waiting for someone to pick up the phone

  • natsc0tt N A T A L I E👼🏼 (@natsc0tt) reported from Cheltenham, England

    @virginmedia bunch of absolute scammers. Paying £80 a month for nothing. Constantly using 4g on our phones as the internet is getting less than 1mb of internet, our home security is constantly off because of this. Phone gets put down when we call for help. Absolute joke.

  • onemistert Mr T (@onemistert) reported from London, England

    @jayrayner1 @virginmedia If the service isn’t down in the area then the fault could simply be resolved by restarting the hub. I guess you’ve done that already?

  • _DougClark Doug Clark (@_DougClark) reported from Halifax, England

    @virginmedia When I do the service/equipment diagnostic check - it confirms it’s not my equipment and says it is an intermittent issue affecting customers in my area - and that you are working on it? But it hasn’t got better.

  • Conor1971 Sam “Ace” Rothstein 🇪🇺 (@Conor1971) reported from Dunmurry, Northern Ireland

    @martinmcnally53 @virginmedia I’ve been with @virginmedia for nearly 15 years but will be changing at the end of the contract time in March. Terrible service. Basically taking money for nothing

  • LisaVin74208006 Lisa Vincent (@LisaVin74208006) reported from Madeley, England

    @virginmedia your self help checks to resolve faults is INFURIATING ! Run test on equipment but still a fault on home phone line but cant book an engineer !! I've had a "chat" with a robot and now just have to hope cyberspace is listening !!

  • sioden Sioned Wyn 💛 (@sioden) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I’m trying to return equipment to you. I’ve filled out the form you sent to me twice and twice I’ve had an email and text to say that my return package has been sent to me. But I’ve never received it. Is there a problem with the service?

  • zainyboy89 Zain Khan (@zainyboy89) reported from Kingston upon Thames, England

    @virginmedia @virginhelp Not happy about the connectivity issues in my area.

  • nadeemshassam Nadeem S. Hassam (@nadeemshassam) reported from Hillingdon, England

    BREAKING NEWS: First hand account from a @virginmedia engineer, who is told by his superiors to turn off the Internet between 11pm and 8.30am as they don’t work overnight as well as most of weekend. Overtime payment issues. Hundreds affected. Issue is due to electric company
