  • jasondflynn Jason Flynn 💙 (@jasondflynn) reported from Letchworth Garden City, England

    @StMirrenDaft @virginmedia @mat_fraser One of the key issues is their router. It’s rubbish and has programming which means main signal isn’t direct for WiFi. I had this problem; buy another router and turn Virgin one into modem. It solved my problem.

  • CuttingDawn Dawn Cutting (@CuttingDawn) reported from Bricket Wood, England

    @virginmedia terrible service, I’ve tried calling and online chat to no avail. You’re blaming Covid but surely by now you’ve sorted out working from home or office. I need to speak to you but you avoid all customers!

  • adove109 Aran Dove (@adove109) reported from Stevenage District, England

    @virginmedia Hi, so atleast once a week my internet stops working... I’ve done the usual reboot etc. Last time I rang up because I’ve had enough of it, especially with my package going form £28 to £43. When I rang the technician done some kind of reboot to help stop this problem.

  • EllieMB1 Ellie (@EllieMB1) reported from Broxbourne District, England

    @virginmedia me wondering if @SkyUK have any offers - been waiting on the line for another hr!!!! Just want my service activated 😱😱

  • ritu2009 Irma Ritu Arora (@ritu2009) reported from Harpenden, England

    @virginmedia horrendous customer service, no wifi despite 100mb speed I am paying for

  • jasondflynn Jason Flynn 💙 (@jasondflynn) reported from Letchworth Garden City, England

    @virginmedia You do realise that the majority of messages sent to you are people complaining that your Wi-Fi is very poor? So perhaps concentrate on that for existing clients rather than pushing new sales? Poor router is the issue. #slowerfaraway

  • Juju79 Julie Lawrence (@Juju79) reported from Hoddesdon, England

    @virginmedia I have tried calling the customer service number but it says the call cannot be connected.

  • Halo1975 Simon Hale (@Halo1975) reported from Luton, England

    @virginmedia 2nd day on the trot someone claiming to be from your ‘tech support’ dept. have called our landline no. claiming there’s a problem with our broadband; there’s not, it’s clearly a scam. I’ve a number that they called from to share with you if you like? Can I DM this??

  • Earth_Extreme Earth Extremities (@Earth_Extreme) reported

    @virginmedia The service status update says: There's a broadband issue. We hope to fix this by 22 February at 15:00. 15:00 hrs turnaround is ridiculous to be honest as so many are working from home and are unable to do their work.

  • CP4573t5i543 Carl (@CP4573t5i543) reported

    @virginmedia @Fifakill_ What you have outages every night at midnight? You'd think you'd notice that yourself and fix it?

  • g65432100 Prasad G (@g65432100) reported

    @virginmedia I do not want old package or any other package, All I want to go back to old contact (which is due to expire in March) so, I have choices. Snake oil sales and rude after sales support is something decent people would like to avoid! All started with asking why fee jumped up!

  • rodwhiting Rod Whiting (@rodwhiting) reported

    @virginmedia Think so. I’m calling complaints now to see if that’s any better. I just want to set up my account properly so I can use the app. The problem arose because I registered the account before installation so I’m a non-customer but when I try and re-register I’m already registered!

  • GeordieK1r5ty Kirsty (@GeordieK1r5ty) reported

    @virginmedia how do I report a data protection issue?

  • Gigi04498012 Gigi (@Gigi04498012) reported

    Been with @virginmedia for 6 years, asked for a extension until this Friday as struggling and won’t help

  • supermissstacey Stacey Mason (@supermissstacey) reported

    @RedSupremeMUFC @virginmedia I feel your pain! I’m experiencing this unacceptable TV service now! 2 years since your post & no improvement 🤯 too many issues watching recordings that I switch to my iPad or fire stick, now waiting for techie & I hope he has a TiVo box for me 😬

  • rodwhiting Rod Whiting (@rodwhiting) reported

    @virginmedia Sorry, should have been clearer: it doesn’t recognise me as a customer according to agents who can see I’m a customer but can’t fix it. I can’t remember the password so try the forgotten password but it says I need to call agent…and round and round we go.

  • supermissstacey Stacey Mason (@supermissstacey) reported

    @virginmedia Yes & I’ve requested to revert to V6/TiVo, as the V360 service doesn’t meet my needs. I want to record & watch tv, NOT stream. Called this morning, kindly advised to reboot - lost ALL my recordings & planned recordings 😫😤 …

  • Thechan89 Anna Chan (@Thechan89) reported

    @virginmedia hi team, we seem to be having issues with our internet in SE25 4RY. The service check says everything is fine, but it’s been down for atleast 30mins. How’s best to report this?
