  • Sandie42Hunter sandra hunter (@Sandie42Hunter) reported from Widnes, England

    @virginmedia you are getting slated on Facebook looks like you will lose lots of customers after this is over, in the chat you say ring after 1 hour of waiting you get cut off . Poor customer service, my plan has run out so it’s gone up in price I am on Furlough cost cutting .

  • Hortini Rick Houghton (@Hortini) reported from Liverpool, England

    I see @virginmedia have it sorted. You can only cancel or suspend your sports subscription if you call them. Reduced call centres meaning massive waits on the phone. But if you don’t pay they cut your internet and tv off at the time of most need. Let us do it online!!!!

  • coffiman48 Graham Duke (@coffiman48) reported from Maghull, England

    @virginmedia have been experiencing problems with v go app for 2 days keeps saying service not available and also remote app will not load keeps freezing are you having problems

  • couldbecalmer Clare Harding (@couldbecalmer) reported from Chester, England

    @CybillLiberty @virginmedia This is appalling. Come on @virginmedia sort yourselves out and give this woman her wifi back. You ballsed up, you can fix it, no one needs this hassle right now.

  • KateBoarman Kate (@KateBoarman) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia I understand that, I told him I did not want to confirm details and would call in my own time, He was then very rude got angry and abrupt! It actually sounded like a scam. I am interested to know if it was virgin media agent as he needs more training!

  • SteveMulville Steve Mulville (@SteveMulville) reported from Seaforth, England

    @_currie @JoBlytheTV @kerriegosneyTV Looks good John and thanks for sending pic. At this rate i will be able to cancel my Virgin Media package ha📺👍never usually home in time🚚

  • MrDNA007 Danny 🇧🇩 (@MrDNA007) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, unfortunately I’m still experiencing consistently poor speeds and constant buffering whenever I stream anything + it’s also getting in the way of working from home etc. Please let me know what you can do to fix it ASAP? I got this new router and it’s worse than the old one.

  • Villaparto Darren Partington (@Villaparto) reported

    My daily tweet to @virginmedia to try and cancel my broadband. They don't answer calls and when they do and transfer you to cancel they hand up!!!!!

  • boxer_junior Rocky Boxer Junior - MMA (@boxer_junior) reported

    @virginmedia Virgin must be going out of business. I can see no reason why they would provide this shocking service and couldn’t care less. All the time taking your money. Disgrace.

  • Jon_withoutah Jon (@Jon_withoutah) reported

    Over two week trying to sort a @virginmedia issue - absolutely joke of a company. Let’s see what they say when their cable is ripped up out of garden and dumped on road.

  • 71simon Simon (@71simon) reported

    @virginmedia Yet my iPhone and MacBook are both on 2.4GHz, iPhone plays up constantly, MacBook never has an issue.

  • simon98760 simon p durston (@simon98760) reported

  • ElliottAsAlways Elliott Scott (@ElliottAsAlways) reported

    Spent 5 hours on the phone to @virginmedia to be hung up 3 times with no call back disgusting customer service!

  • Denvers70 John Hislop (@Denvers70) reported

    @virginmedia hi. Been on the phone to you 3 times in past 36 hours for 30 mins each time. Customer service is crap. I enjoy your services but can never get a response

  • Twinklestar192 RainbowDesigns🌈 (@Twinklestar192) reported

    @virginmedia Unfortunately the link you have added is nothing to do with the issue I mentioned. Despite my spam setting being correct, I am continually getting the fake spam emails as stated in my original tweet in my inbox, many others have tweeted on here re the same issue. Please sort it.

  • AndrewB13613564 Andrew Baillie (@AndrewB13613564) reported

    @virginmedia Will you help me this time or will I be going through a number of texts to be told you can't help ?
