    @DSJSoley @virginmedia Wish this was as easy as an @Apple subscription. Click cancel, and done! I only want to cancel...!!

  • vetlocksmith
    Veteran Locksmiths (@vetlocksmith) reported from Fareham, England

    @virginmedia your broadband connection is disgusting, we have called to be told that we need to wait 24 hrs to see if there is an issue. Not good enough this is now affecting my business for my staff !!

  • Rob_Mcgimpsey
    Rob Mcgimpsey (@Rob_Mcgimpsey) reported from Ampfield, England

    @virginmedia Well you said that on webchat you can’t do anything but raise a complaint for me. I called the pre-installs team again who have once again left a note for the area install manager to call. This note has been left several times, and of course - he doesn’t call. This is stuck.

  • vetlocksmith
    Veteran Locksmiths (@vetlocksmith) reported from Fareham, England

    @virginmedia Just to confirm the customer services on the phone said the issue was your end not the router. This shouldn’t take 24hrs to sort for such a large provider

  • Rob_Mcgimpsey
    Rob Mcgimpsey (@Rob_Mcgimpsey) reported from Romsey, England

    @virginmedia Your pre-installs team cannot assist either. It seems nobody can actually help.

  • Rob_Mcgimpsey
    Rob Mcgimpsey (@Rob_Mcgimpsey) reported from Ampfield, England

    @virginmedia the worst customer service I’ve ever encountered. 6 cancelled installs, no broadband, no Tv, no heating. Unable to work thanks to virgin media. No resolution in sight, just empty promises and apologies.

    Craig (@Danzy92) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia now 2 weeks without a workable wifi. Complex Issue in area, said expected fix by Friday, still nothing. Any chance of an update on the SO15 area? Need to know if ill be to commuting somewhere next week for work again….

  • ChasCowell
    Chas Cowell (@ChasCowell) reported from Gosport, England

    @virginmedia I really can’t believe how poor my virgin WiFi is and I’m meant to be on super fast appalling the last couple of weeks. 🤔

  • colingrinnell
    colin grinnell (@colingrinnell) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia is there any known problems with your WiFi hub ? The WiFi signal I receive is terrible constantly dropping out. I spend most of the time on 3G as it’s more reliable. I have rebooted all routers and boosters but noting seems to make the WiFi work

  • BA5H3R27
    BASH (@BA5H3R27) reported from Gosport, England

    Jesus your internet is **** @virginmedia on off on off on off reset it …. Takes 5 mins to boot on…. On off on off. We certainly won’t be renewing with you.

  • Rob_Mcgimpsey
    Rob Mcgimpsey (@Rob_Mcgimpsey) reported from Ampfield, England

    @virginmedia The installation is still not complete! That’s the problem. Virgin was ordered on 2nd oct. First install was planned on 17/10 and then cancelled by Virgin. Virgin have cancelled 8-10 times since. It’s now 08/12! 52 days and counting

  • Stueelouis
    Stuart Palmer (@Stueelouis) reported from Gosport, England

    @virginmedia I submitted a complaint form yesterday and I’m still waiting for a response, @virginmedia how long does it take please?

  • DIZZYDJC
    Daniel John 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺 (@DIZZYDJC) reported from West End, England

    My internet is painfully slow tonight. Checked my router and it's not that, it's the internet itself. What is going on @virginmedia ? Your status says no faults but I can assure you there is. I am paying for 1GB bb and so far only reaching speeds of about 2.25 mb- explain??

  • sarahmvaughan
    Cllr Sarah M Vaughan (@sarahmvaughan) reported from Southampton, England

    2/2 @virginmedia @VirginMediaCorp @VMSolutions_ We have waited patiently for 48 hours for Virgin to fix. If you do not resolve today, we will get an electrician to repair and send Virgin the invoice. There is no customer service or H&S for your customers.

  • Rob_Mcgimpsey
    Rob Mcgimpsey (@Rob_Mcgimpsey) reported from Romsey, England

    @virginmedia This has already been dealt with yea, we’re continuing just because it feels as if we’ve waited too long to cancel now. Plus, Virgin are crediting me £5.35 for every day of delay that they’ve caused (55 days and counting).

  • southnorthener
    SM (@southnorthener) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia No service is SO17 postcode, either TV or internet. Is there an issue?

  • obcans
    mark wilson (@obcans) reported from Southampton, England

  • DIZZYDJC
    Daniel John 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺 (@DIZZYDJC) reported from West End, England

    @virginmedia It's both. I have been doing some digging and it's the upload speeds. They are not getting anywhere over 2MB /sec which is not good enough. It has been very slow over the last couple of days

    Rahim™ 🇬🇧🇲🇦 (@rahim94) reported from Southampton, England

    You know @btsport, it would be nice to watch the match in UHD, if only the UHD channel wasn't so jittery. 🤦 Whoever's problem it is, whether it's @btsport or @virginmedia, sort it out!!! #RANLIV #ChampionsLeague

  • formula1girl
    Sarah-Jane Finch (@formula1girl) reported from Eastleigh, England

    @virginmedia So another 90 minute chat with no resolution? That’s fine I’m going to raise an official complaint as this is NOT good customer service at all.

    Lyndon (@lyndondp) reported

    @virginmedia @LutzSchueler Shocking customer service from VM. Next step will be contacting the communications ombudsman

    Adam (@Adam83492464721) reported

    @Nasher6328 @JamieGBarry @virginmedia Nah **** that. If I need to go through the song and dance anyway I may as well switch and get whatever freebies they throw to new customers. It’s just a stupid system that doesn’t reward loyalty and means we all have to waste our time every 2 years.

  • TheGreenBarrow
    Rick Barrow (@TheGreenBarrow) reported

    @virginmedia And then I get through for a phone call and then disconnected again. I'm boxing your equipment up and all will be returned even though I'm two months into new contract. Had nothing but trouble with it for this duration

  • TheGreenBarrow
    Rick Barrow (@TheGreenBarrow) reported

    @virginmedia **** your service and your contract. Four times I've been disconnected whilst on the phone. That's almost 2 hours of my life gone. You can have this equipment back. Only had a tv fault now I've got a broadband fault. So no tv and no broadband
