    @virginmedia There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the phone, I can travel to different areas and get 4 bars on my phone and it works no problem, the problem is in the area I live.The reception always used to be fine but for quite some time now it’s been awful, I currently have one bar.

    @virginmedia can someone please message me. I have been struggling to get hold of someone to **** and resolve a home telephone. I have been promised call backs to resolve this long overdue complaint. But still wait to speak to someone!

    @virginmedia You are aware of the problem, told us it's a fault and it's being fixed by 12th April, it wasn't, we rang, you gave us reassurance it will be fixed by the 22nd, it hasn't, we rang got passed around a lot! Now you say it will be fixed 29th. Hands up if you would put up with this?

    Zak (@ZakFarren) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia as of about 2 days ago the latency on our internet has been awful (150ms in most online games) plus it seems the speed it's self has dropped significantly too, about half of what it used to be on all devices. Have restarted and factory reset and still broken

  • StephenMonk1970
    The Monk (@StephenMonk1970) reported from Preston, England

    Virgin Mobile. Utterly useless. All I want is to send a text and call people. My bill isn't due until 8th May. There is no online help. Really cheesed off. #virginmobile #virginmedia #virginbilling

  • ShimmiArt

    @virginmedia internet yesterday went from 12mbs (11am) to 30mbs (3pm). Today it’s 3mbs. How is this acceptable? No reported issues but our internet goes up and down constantly, sometimes goes off altogether

  • Christerphurr
    Chris Mann (@Christerphurr) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia our broadband is down, any idea when this will be back up?

  • Shellifumi
    Steve Shelbourne (@Shellifumi) reported from Aintree Village, England

    @AllenWeso6 @1878shadow @virginmedia Just binned them off to go back to Sky. Been paying for the all singing and dancing fibre broadband and it’s slower then my work mobile router! TV picture is dog rough and my Virgin Mobile sim won’t take calls from anyone on the EE network when I’m connected to the WiFi! See ya!

  • BenjiMaccers
    Benji McLoughlin (@BenjiMaccers) reported from Haydock, England

    @virginmedia Your online checker tells me my line is fine. It’s not. There was an outage yesterday, it came back on and now it’s off again. I’ve restarted the hub multiple times.

  • ZakFarren
    Zak (@ZakFarren) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia I don't have any direct wired connection but my TP link powerline connection seems to be working better now with speeds and gameplay. However, I imagine once high load resumes in the evening it will be terrible again. Feels like we're being heavily throttled during the evening

  • SammyKnowlesX

    @virginmedia tv and broadband down in banks, is this a known issue?

  • SammyKnowlesX
    SJK (@SammyKnowlesX) reported from Banks, England

    @virginmedia can someone explain that why after several issues I’ve had with you, that you think it’s ok, to hike up the bill £20 a month on a fixed fee contract?! #disgusting #poorservice #donotrecommend

    @virginmedia why does my super hub 3 keep resetting my WiFi password. I’m having to change it through settings every other day because it keeps defaulting back to the security key, this is causing major issues

    I’m paying for 500mb broadband and it’s averaging 15mb?! Wtf @virginmedia

    @virginmedia OK thanks. They have had issues with the service and are fed up and want to leave, but my dad has forgotten his 'security question' and says he thus gets blocked on the phone. Note its not his online password. Can you advise? thanks

  • Maverick_1969a
    Maverick_1969 (@Maverick_1969a) reported

    @virginmedia I still have the same issue. The box is ina. Continual loop trying to reboot. Looks as if I need a new box. I have tried calling your customer services 4 times and every time I get cut off without speaking to someone. The service is a disgrace I need to speak to someone

  • jhavfc
    Jess (@jhavfc) reported

    So ******* fed up with Virgin Media. Can't wait to **** them off this week and never deal with them ever again.

    David Harcus (@harcus_david) reported

    @O2 No point in sending a PM as this is just so it looks like O2 is listening when in reality you are not. £1,500 ex VAT to alter a contract. O2 the company that does not support small businesses will be changing providers to @vmbusiness

  • JohnHutchinson
    John (@JohnHutchinson) reported

    @virginmedia Should I be receiving a call from the complaints team?! Or will I have to lodge a complaint against the team that, erm, deal with complaints?! Seems such a Mickey Mouse operation. Why have standards slipped so low? #virginmedia

    @virginmedia I've waited in all afternoon with a baby and toddler (imagine how fun that is) for our engineer visit which was supposed to be between 12-4 no one has turned up. Can you help asap please? We have no internet and need to work

    @virginmedia yeah & for the second time someone is coming out to "sort the issue." meanwhile I'm paying for something I'm not getting.

    Tommy McFarlane (@Tweet_Tom81) reported

    @virginmedia 0345 454 1111. My expiry of my Contract is coming up and looking to see what the best deal available is to remain a customer, but can't even price match with Sky TV. So just looking to speak to someone else to confirm this is definitely the best you can offer before I switch Thx

    @virginmedia @sainsburys @virginmedia we are moving house and would like to leave your overpriced service. When we call it’d be great if you didn’t: (1) keep asking us for our new postcode; (2) pass us around different department when we don’t give you this; and (3) eventually hang up on us.
