    @virginmedia But i waited 3 times for 1 hour and they cut me off. I need to cancel

  • Coolriree Nicholas King (@Coolriree) reported

    @virginmedia I have tried to play nice going through YOUR hoops to cancel installation. If you are going to make it so hard to cancel then you can waste your money sending engineers out to us. Signed A Former Potential Customer.

  • FintanStack7 Fintan Stack (@FintanStack7) reported

    @virginmedia I've tried the link you sent but am unable to navigate it due to numerous errors, check the thread that we are talking on and you'll see there are buttons missing etc. I want to pay my bill but can't log on or reset my pw and I can't use my home phone now as it costs me. Pls help

  • soswebber Paul Webber (@soswebber) reported

    @virginmedia to be frank your internet is not fit for purpose & your customer service is a disgrace! You’ve treated me like a mug. 8 days until this is all over as @SkyUK are coming🤞@richardbranson hang your head in shame that you are associated to this brand!

  • macp68 shaun mcpherson (@macp68) reported

    Virgin media........ absolutely shocking customer service, anyone thinking of using them I wouldn’t recommend #virginmedia

  • aid_khalsa Khalsa Aid (@aid_khalsa) reported

    @virginmedia @ade5star Virgin media, why is your service web page not reporting the outages being experienced by so many in the KT region? This has been going on since Monday!

  • ryanteck Ryan Walmsley (@ryanteck) reported

    @Gadgetoid @PhilGrimley @virginmedia Yeah, it's not phone copper but it's coax. Quite technically impressive, but the issue with VM is very area dependant.

  • michael77490284 michael (@michael77490284) reported

    @virginmedia you know you have a scam account @virygyinmedia that is DM’ing people that tweet you with issues asking for card details as security, they have even cloned your Twitter page🤬🤬

  • FintanStack7 Fintan Stack (@FintanStack7) reported

    @virginmedia I've just tried to use that service again, specifically the message us route, and it just redirected me to the home page over and over again

  • bentley2904 Lee Bentley (@bentley2904) reported

    @virginmedia how do I cancel my subscription my contract has ended and doubled in price so im guessing you will be wanting your boxes and router back

  • Defective_9 Mark (@Defective_9) reported

    . @virginmedia is comfortably the worst WiFi I have experienced. 2 new super hubs and it’s still useless, impossible to get work done!

  • harry_kem Hary (@harry_kem) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve never called in the 3 years I’ve been with you so can’t remember them but I have all my other information I really need this sorted as I have been paying £63 for something I cancelled on 15th November

  • adamace72 Adam Tromans (@adamace72) reported

    @virginmedia I've have been trying to contact you for weeks about my awful internet especially the wifi, after being on hold twice for a hour and half you cut me off both times, I've since had to put your awful superhub into modem mode and buy my own router to cure the problem, great service

  • Gadgetoid Phil Howard (@Gadgetoid) reported

    @PhilGrimley @virginmedia The real person at fault here is whoever figured out how to squeeze internet down copper phone lines... and thought “I’ll tell my boss instead of taking this horrible secret to my grave.” But that said... virgin is fibre and even *that’s* sucking right now 😐

  • 102lysh alysha🥾🌍 (@102lysh) reported

    @virginmedia Several times, yes. But my family keep being advised of ‘blackspots’ of signal in our house when that can’t be the case as nothing has changed in my home for this to randomly occur. We’ve been sent a new router, and wifi boosters with no luck

  • VaughnWilliam16 Vaughn Williams (@VaughnWilliam16) reported

    @virginmedia Yes we have two boxes, and both were connected correctly, and both had no signal just for those channels. All other channels were fine. Both boxes reset numerous times and HDMI cables swapped over😫

  • FintanStack7 Fintan Stack (@FintanStack7) reported

    @virginmedia I sent screencaps in this thread of the missing buttons or icons when your colleague suggested the same. If i follow that route it wants me to sign in, which we know I am unable to.

  • r_lockard Richard (@r_lockard) reported

    @virginmedia, is the website down? Can't login to my moblie account

  • Will_H1999 Will (@Will_H1999) reported

    @virginmedia every time I try to phone up it just cuts me off and says try resetting your equipment. How on earth do I speak to someone about a VPN issue which you have blocked which I need to safely work from home????

  • FintanStack7 Fintan Stack (@FintanStack7) reported

    @virginmedia After trying your suggestions over and over again for 2 weeks I'm starting to think the problem might not be my end 🤔

  • harry_kem Hary (@harry_kem) reported

    @virginmedia Via online link and it took a payment of i believe £1.50 to cancel I’m sure it was through the virgin app

  • Bee10Trix8 Bee And Trix (@Bee10Trix8) reported

    @virginmedia NL - one of the tech team engineers has ordered a new Hub. No need to chat at 12pm now. Feedback for VM: unnecessarily frustrating and time-consuming way of trying to fulfil a simple customer request. If my options weren't so limited I would have left VM. Experience = very poor.

  • MinnieCooper5 Helen Marie Cooper (@MinnieCooper5) reported

    @virginmedia Been on hold for 25 minutes to cancel my contract. Got through to John who said he’d have to transfer me (despite being in the cancellations dept). Waited a further 7 minutes and was then cut off. What do you suggest? I don’t have all day to wait on a phone to you.

  • Gadgetoid Phil Howard (@Gadgetoid) reported

    @ryanteck @PhilGrimley @virginmedia What? ********?

  • TheOneSevenOne Sean 'Spooner' Murrell (@TheOneSevenOne) reported

    @virginmedia Been on hold for hours.. Too familiar with the hold music now. Gone through the text service yesterday but still have heard nothing.
