  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia @grimegran You have been awful since the lockdown, yet I keep seeing these hopeful ads that just wind me up as anyone currently on you service knows that it is currently a joke. Yesterday was the first time since the lockdown started that I didnt lose connection at all or have router fail

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia Done, I'm now down about 360mbs from where my speed normally is, and just checked, yep can still crash my router using my laptop without trying

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia I dont mean to be rude but I can tell you now the option to text was not on the "contact us" page I visited on your website, but I see it's just a text option to the live chat anyway so this will be a waste of my time but texting now

  • iamchrissharp Chris (@iamchrissharp) reported from Washington, England

    @virginmedia all I want to do is cancel my tv and phone services and keep broadband but there’s no options to downgrade online only upgrade and I refuse to pay £94 per month

  • mackemviking David Kinmond #FBPE #resist 🇪🇺 (@mackemviking) reported from Seaham, England

    @tenchylad @virginmedia @skytv @TalkTalk I’ve got sky for tv, phone, broadband and mobile. Rarely have any issues with them at all

  • Emfozz Em (@Emfozz) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia shock as broadband is down again. Yet you’ll still expect full payment from everyone.

  • rachsclarke rachel clarke (@rachsclarke) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia Tried this, 3 days to reply per message. Pathetic really, good customer service could compensate for poor phone service but I don’t get either. I get the VM sim for free with my package, I’d rather pay an extra £20 a month elsewhere to make sure I don’t miss important calls

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia Have had this issue since I joined Virgin

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @JohnnyDude1983 @virginmedia The 3rd engineer to visit told me what I need to do and also told me that Virgin Media wont tell me or others what they can do or what the issue is

  • Emfozz Em (@Emfozz) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia I’m not going to waste time in doing that, I’ve worked in telecommunications, I know how your process works, I also know you’ll try and pass the book to customers before taking blame because the tiniest speck of dust can effect my WiFi signal. So it’s fine.

  • DanielHill21 Daniel Hill (@DanielHill21) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia need help

  • tenchylad StuT (@tenchylad) reported from Sunderland, England

    Hi @virginmedia spent almost 4 hours on live chat today to get a simple problem resolved and still didnt get resolved , very poor service @skytv or @TalkTalk are you in need of a new customer please.

  • Emfozz Em (@Emfozz) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia Ironic you try and blame customers. It’s your service not my house or my equipment or how I’m using it.

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia Is actually my whole street, I can sit and watch every bodies routers resetting and I assume they are having same speed issues as me

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia @grimegran Im Going to keep replying to all this promoted ads until my internet is fixed, 8 weeks and counting! Terrible routers too, range is embarrassing to be honest and crashes under a pretty minimal load

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia Tried already and you actually made it worse, I put up with for half a day and changed everything back to the better (although still poor and not near what I'm paying for) performance yet you still ask me to buy your tech support service lmfao

  • alicen0rt0n alice✨ (@alicen0rt0n) reported from Washington, England

    please @virginmedia i have a deadline tomorrow don’t go down on me now 😭😭😭😭

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia I have, many many times and it always comes back to same, yet I'm down about 80mbs this morning, I've restarted my router today already because I switched my laptop on (everytime), and I can also crash my router with 1 device almost at will

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia @grimegran #Stayconnected the biggest mystery to all Virgin media customers at the moment is how to stay connect to the router and the broadband! Stop promoting ads when your customer service is currently unable to accepts fault reports, 8.5 weeks and counting!

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia @bethanymiah_ I'll save you both some time there and tell you now that you will be able to make no difference whatsoever, the hubs have always been awful and it seems they have got worse since lockdown, maybe they can catch Covid too

    @virginmedia @LutzSchueler @richardbranson It was suppose to be fixed today at 2:00pm! Guess what? It’s not. Then told, it would be 6:00pm! Guess what? It’s not. What the hell is going on? 4 weeks now approaching 5 weeks No WiFi, No TV, No Service.

  • jacob_mewis Jacob Mewis (@jacob_mewis) reported

    @ChrisMoyles @virginmedia I know the issue... you're with virgin media

  • Digi_Dogsbody Mike B (@Digi_Dogsbody) reported

    Love that my new Virgin Media account was automatically "opted in" to the functionality of letting any other customer use my WiFi Router as a hotspot 😬😬😬. Just me or is that a funny definition of "opt in"?

  • kris_platt Kris Platt (@kris_platt) reported

    @virginmedia we are unable to regsiter our email. It keeps saying you can't use that password. We have tried so many with the same issue.
