  • marcsnappy Marc Corn (@marcsnappy) reported from Basildon, England

    @Shadow_Official @virginmedia This issue I found happened more on wifi, I had to put in a secondary switch and run everything via Ethernet.

  • WUFC2005 Football 4 All (@WUFC2005) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia nothing but issues. 2G & 5G always stops working. Updates happens when ever it feels like. And every time I contact Virgin, it's like talking to a 6 year old.

  • gorgeousuk anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia The deeper check did not work because the internet is down and therefore the check did not work......it’s just so pathetic really

  • gorgeousuk anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia That would imply that I had faith in your services & belief that you cared about your customers. I know from the past that this is not the case. I have already checked and this problem is supposed to be fixed by 3pm, it has been ongoing since 8am. It really is tedious and boring

  • JennyIllmann Jenny Illmann (@JennyIllmann) reported from London, England

    Lately Virgin Media hasn’t been very good at all. I never used to have issues with it.

  • DebzGlover Debz Glover😜 (@DebzGlover) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia Hi, no service issues in my area according to your website

  • gorgeousuk anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Or maybe that’s wishful thinking. Anyway. We will be considering our options over the weekend and I don’t think we will be staying with VM. Bad service is too regular now

  • sharonblaxland Sharon (@sharonblaxland) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia has gone down, no internet and only a few obscure tv channels.... that I’m watching, so I can keep watching telly 😳

  • engineer59a Richard S (@engineer59a) reported from Corringham, England

    @virginmedia WHAT AN AWFUL SERVICE YOU ARE PROVIDING! Internet down over 1 hour, your automated service hangs up when saying it’s going to test my line and when I ring and go to ‘ want to leAve’ that’s a 10 min+ hang on phone Sort yourselves out Virgin Media😡

  • gorgeousuk anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from London, England

    ...customers who have been with @virginmedia for a loooooooooooooonnnnnnnnggggggg time and bloody feels like a looooong time. Service at the weekend was crap (again). Expect a phone call tomorrow to the complaints dept.

  • dickinson_mark mark Steven (@dickinson_mark) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia Only if i had virgin media box for my own but I don't live with my Mum and dad anymore but she my still pays for it anyway on her account by virgin I have a Sony Xperia mobile but my WiFi is Now BT mark Steven Grahame house in Southchurch in Southend please help

  • engineer59a Richard S (@engineer59a) reported from Corringham, England

    Virgin media - your automated service has a flaw, it just repeats the same message, ‘ no faults found’, when there is a fault, like my internet is giving 2Mb download right now

  • engineer59a Richard S (@engineer59a) reported from Corringham, England

    @virginmedia 3 days of warm weather and your network goes to pot!😔😡 3 rd day in a row no internet intermittently

  • gorgeousuk anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from London, England

    @foxinthebox2010 @virginmedia It was a customer insight survey sent to me by email. Gives you no chance to really voice your opinion as it’s just pushing the new box.

  • LawroGardiner Lawrence Gardiner ➡️ (@LawroGardiner) reported from Basildon, England

    @Dianemiddleto @tankhead666 @virginmedia Thanks. I got the text hours after talking to Virgin Media on the phone to activate my hub after a house move. Never had it before. Something not right in their call centres.

  • gorgeousuk anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from London, England

    @foxinthebox2010 @virginmedia The £20, £15, £10 down to £5 smacked of desperation really! Just give me the bloody box. We’ve been with you long enough!!!!!

  • gorgeousuk anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from London, England

    @foxinthebox2010 @virginmedia You do have a point @foxinthebox2010 though because they were asking if customers would be willing to pay £20 one off fee, then £15, £10, £5...which implies they could afford to upgrade for free but just want to squeeze more money of out their customers. We’ve had awful service

  • marcsnappy Marc Corn (@marcsnappy) reported from Basildon, England

    Hey @virginmedia you better offer me a better deal tomorrow or else I will be leaving. New customers are always treated better than existing. I know from experience with you guys that this never changes.

  • gorgeousuk anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia When you are using your data in your own house so often, have Netflix, Now and Amazon Prime you pay for that you can’t even use when Broadband are down, you have to ask, what the HELL am I doing with a company that can’t provide a basic bloody service.

  • JohnJohnb471 John Briggs (@JohnJohnb471) reported from London, England

    Just want to say after being a long standing @virginmobile and @virginmedia customer for many years I had it with their appalling customer service and excessive charges. Don’t use them people they don’t deserve our business

  • ChrisEssex Chris (@ChrisEssex) reported

    @virginmedia I got an email saying that the wifi will be merged into one intelligent wifi. Will the network names change? If so I have to re-connect each one.

  • helpcladding Help the Cladding Leaseholders (@helpcladding) reported

    @virginmedia No because its nothing to do with service status. It happens daily. So all you are now going to offer is a number to call which takes 30 mins to get through to a human?

  • mneilan12 Matthew (@mneilan12) reported

    @virginmedia I am trying to load the sky sports red button on the golf channel but it just sits in the loading screen doing nothing - how do I fix this

  • PaulaThinking PaulaThinking (@PaulaThinking) reported

    @virginmedia I have tried several times to get my landline number permanently withheld. But no-one in your call centres has managed to do it. I was assured it had been done but phoning someone today they can still see it. @WhichUK can you help?

  • Minky_monkey Minky (@Minky_monkey) reported

    @virginmedia Engineer has been and credit where its due, nice fellow who knew his stuff. Router has now been swapped out for a hub 4. Will see how this goes. Will still be making contact regarding the loss of service and all the other issues. Fingers crossed.

  • helpcladding Help the Cladding Leaseholders (@helpcladding) reported

    @virginmedia Ive checked the service status already. It says all ok. So now what?

  • arsenalfan1975 arsenalfan1975 (@arsenalfan1975) reported

    @VirginMediaIE @StephenDunne196 Finally service has returned..... 29hrs with service and dreadful communication from Virgin media, are the residents of Stepaside going to get compensation from virgin for lose of service.....

  • Press37551712 Press (@Press37551712) reported

    @OneParr @virginmedia I forgot my password I watched a video but not really helpful, but I have recovered my account back through the help of rossgerberkawasaki on Instagram has help me thanks so much

  • PHlL_CURTIS Phil Curtis (@PHlL_CURTIS) reported

    @virginmedia That would be an ideal website to check. However I don't have an email account. I'm still waiting for your IT department to phone me to set me one up as your customer service provider couldn't get it to work today - IT job number: P010735701 I asked a month ago for this also

  • colorwithwonder Colour With Wonder (@colorwithwonder) reported

    I know @virginmedia get a lot of flack. However, would like to praise the team. Our services went down Tuesday night. Called them Wednesday and today they sent out an engineer. He spent a lot of time and figured it was connection between the box and our house.
