  • baabaa89 Victoria. 🐝 (@baabaa89) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia We have been experiencing issues with our hub. We often lose connection and then the connection is not very strong at all when connected. This has been happening for a couple of weeks. Please advise further.

  • pven91 PV (@pven91) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia really unhappy with the service, got a new box yesterday and the start up checklist won’t load... called your helpline and they didn’t help us over the phone. Sending an engineer next weekend so we have a week without tv. Please help.

  • shaunbentley Shaun (@shaunbentley) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia Still on the phone. Just found out the eng that was supposed to come today to fixed the frayed cables outside was a no show. Also all my smart lights have stopped working meaning the local network (not broadband) has gone down. Finally you’ve agreed to issue a deadlock letter.

  • AVOID_THE_NULL ИՍỺỺ (@AVOID_THE_NULL) reported

    @virginmedia honestly, you're the worst internet service provider in the whole of the UK, I will let everyone know how bad of a customer care team you have. someone called 'Larry' was rude, interruptive and kept shutting me out. I'll be reporting this and taking it further.

  • llorna450 Lorna ♉️ (@llorna450) reported

    @virginmedia hi, im@think of joining you as a new customer. I just wanted to know how the self installation works because I was always under the assumption am engineer still had to install a box outside. House is currently BT.

  • KeeganBig Frank Keegan (@KeeganBig) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia no service from 2nd box so phoned customer service. Automated voice says text with link will be sent. Call ends. Text arrived. Pressed link takes me to page which says that link isn't working. Customer service is a joke.

  • TeenaGates Teena Gates (@TeenaGates) reported

    @VirginMediaIE Hi guys. My Virgin Media Box is not working and your support systems are all sending me automatic messages saying they’re busy. Can someone sort this please?

  • acar321 aaron (@acar321) reported

    @virginmedia IPv4 address is fine, just still waiting for IPv6 support :p

  • p0wurdead psalm (@p0wurdead) reported

    I feel sick I’m trying to cancel my virgin media contract and this woman is forcing all these deals on me I JUST WANT TO ******* LEAVE

  • davidm_uk David Miller (@davidm_uk) reported

    @virginmedia If you’re going to turn off my internet for potentially 4 hours during the day, please have the decency to alert me in advance. Just posting scheduled outage days somewhere on your website is completely unacceptable.

  • Stephen3_22 Stephen 💙 (@Stephen3_22) reported

    @virginmedia Given that there's no sign of a dig team or pull through team so far today and it's now day Eight without any service, I'd suggest that now would be a good time to escalate and to get someone with authority to contact me ASAP. A phone call would be appreciated.

  • tia_947 A (@tia_947) reported

    @virginmedia hi I've heard there's going to be a planned wifi outage in my area due to works, how can I find out more about this?

  • clodaghsheehy Clodagh Sheehy (@clodaghsheehy) reported

    Virgin Media support line says contact them through WhatAp but when you do it says they are too busy dealing with phone queries. The phone service however says there is a one-hour wait and you should try WhatsAp.#virginmedia
