  • eddavie88786879 very edward (@eddavie88786879) reported from Andover, England

    @virginmedia stop bragging about lightning fast broadband, the WiFi’s down every two days and it’s constantly slower than a retirement home 100m sprint and you have continued to do nothing about it. *********

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

    @BFingers36 @Mb3008 @ptdffll @virginmedia Same issue here in Portswood

  • dinkyprincessa Dinky Princess (@dinkyprincessa) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia It’s a series link. The issue is you called the Friday preview show the exact same name as the event. That’s not a user error. That’s on you. If you do that you screw over everyone who pays to watch it. By 10pm all the results would be ruined. And I can’t watch a 3 hr event then.

  • Saints_Mike7167 Saints Mike (@Saints_Mike7167) reported from Southampton, England

    @AllySFC @virginmedia Watching Spurs through WiFi on my laptop absolutely no issue apart from the normal delay

  • debzholmric debbie chapman (@debzholmric) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia is there a issue with virgin media as cant get access on the app

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

    @virginmedia Nothing on the service status page. Doesn't show the issue

  • DIZZYDJC Dan Conway (@DIZZYDJC) reported from West End, England

    Absolutely appalling service from @virginmedia once again, why on earth did I fall for their lies! Absolute disgrace of a company

  • guymaxwell Guy Maxwell (@guymaxwell) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia Congratulations Virgin Media. 1. You manage to disconnect my TV bundle early without telling me 2. You then disconnect again 4 hours later 3. You connect me to Fault Support thendisconnect me 4. on hold for a second time for 20 mins. This is why I’m going to Sky

  • JFeathjav James Featherstone (@JFeathjav) reported from Southampton, England

    I moaned when their bad so I should praise them when they are good. Thanks to @virginmedia for the excellent service in fixing my TV service the day after I reported a problem. Engineer (Chris) was a credit to you, knew the product inside out and sorted everything in no time.

  • dannyashman_sfc Danny Ashman (@dannyashman_sfc) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia your WiFi is crap wtf is going on why’s it not working.

  • leeradcliffe73 lee Radcliffe (@leeradcliffe73) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia No it’s just WiFi connection to all our phones. Never had an issue before we removed tv package

  • dinkyprincessa Dinky Princess (@dinkyprincessa) reported from Southampton, England

    Hey @virginmedia how smart if you to name the Friday @ufc @btsportufc preview show the SAME as the event, meaning I woke up this morning to no event recording. The box thought that was it. I’m beyond pissed off. It’s the only thing I have your service for.

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

    @SaintHarls @JonStone101 @riesatori @virginmedia Depends. It'***** and miss. A few months ago I had an issue with my broadband, and that was fixed within 10mins.

  • JohnGould4689 John (@JohnGould4689) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia @btsportmotogp l recorded the motogp testing Disappointing an understatement in the quality of the coverage Picture pixelation lost of sound frozen screen in the first hour Now have had issues in past with picture 5 times called out n told nothing wrong new box plz

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

    @virginmedia That doesn't help. The internet is working fine. It's the TV

  • leeradcliffe73 lee Radcliffe (@leeradcliffe73) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia when you spend half hour on the phone trying to find out why my broadband has been terrible since removing the tv package, only to be told your phone is either to close or to far away from your router baffles me. Is there a perfect distance I have to stand 😡🤯😡😡

  • draloksharma74 Alok Sharma (@draloksharma74) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia help no broadband and been holding for 14 minutes

  • DellB0II Dell Boii (@DellB0II) reported

    @virginmedia has literally the worse customer service ever, have been trying to contact them for the past week, with wait times of each call over an hour than the call randomly cuts off.

  • IzhavoS Izhavo Salas (@IzhavoS) reported

    @virginmedia I know a number of people have reported damages in my area, but wanted to bring it up again as this has been going on since October with no solution. w43ap is the affected area

  • BE97814771 B (@BE97814771) reported

    @Ofcom are you investigating @virginmedia ? like many others I’ve spent hours on different occasions ringing to cancel and they cut you off (you get straight through to add a service). Via WhatsApp I’ve asked 25 times over 30 hours they still won’t let me leave..

  • sybersall Sally Shiers (@sybersall) reported

    @virginmedia appalling service when you ring to get support as in financial difficulties ..and cold unsympathetic staff don’t help then cut you off. We have been loyal a customer for 20 years 🙁🥲how do I get help..

  • Riggerstweets Neil Rigby (@Riggerstweets) reported

    Day 4. Still impossible to get through @virginmedia - the @TheRFL Championship starts in a couple of hours and it's not possible to subscribe with them as everything is down and customer care doesn't exist. Great stuff.

  • OfficialMSkeens Mark skeens (@OfficialMSkeens) reported

    @virginmedia been trying to call you for days to cancel the TV package but your phones are never answered. Is there a quick way to rectify this please?

  • SAG95402459 SAG (@SAG95402459) reported

    @virginmedia Please read my previous tweets. I've called to cancel but your staff hung up me and now when you call you're told by the answerphone that they cannot deal with your request due to issues at Virgin. That's fine @virginmedia, i can deal with that myself and cancel my DD.
