  • _Lewis_A Lewis Allen ⚒ (@_Lewis_A) reported from London, England

    So @virginmedia won't let me leave our contract despite their service continually crashing or not providing the speed it promises. Ultrafast broadband but getting nothing or 9mb download. Fed up with it now. Avoid them at all costs. #VirginMediaoutage #broadband

  • CarolB29041964 Carol Dover (@CarolB29041964) reported from Stifford, England

    Just how **** are Virgin Media...my email was down for two evenings and probably the days as well earlier in the week, and now it's down again. Virgin Media i need to access my emails....this level of service is unacceptable. I'm paying for this crap service! @virginmedia

  • KimEdwards48 Kim Edwards (@KimEdwards48) reported from Stifford, England

    @AmandaSeager @virginmedia Same in Central London, my Company uses Virgin and we have had issues all day long

  • LutherB40510976 Luther Blissett (@LutherB40510976) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia what is the number for your complaints department? It seems impossible to actually terminate my contract with you. Am I in the Hotel California?

  • joybrenda Brenda (@joybrenda) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia help why have you made it so difficult to log a landline vault on line. Need to call, as line out of order since friday. I am certain it's systems fault as display message I have seen on previous occasions.

  • Lisa2672 Lisa Philpott (@Lisa2672) reported from Rayleigh, England

    @virginmedia Sort it out Virgin IT’S NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!!!! Can’t even log on to get service updates 😡😡😡

  • shah4569 Shah 🦅 (@shah4569) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia bring back customer service to the UK. Philippines is a joke!

  • BancoDePapa グラハム・スミス® ©Official (@BancoDePapa) reported from London, England

    I wonder if anyone has a #skyglass connected to a #virginmedia broadband? At least with #SkyQ your TV service will be unaffected

  • Lisa2672 Lisa Philpott (@Lisa2672) reported from Rayleigh, England

    @Shayan86 @virginmedia It’s a disgrace - my husband works in tv too. You 100% cannot rely on VM. I am definitely changing. My bill started off at £35 and is now £45 as we had to buy boosters. Worst service ever. Skybroadband non-fibre was better than this.

  • Lozraus Rex (@Lozraus) reported from London, England

    @_MxMike @virginmedia It’s been down for us since 1am 😫

  • Mustxkim Mustakim. (@Mustxkim) reported from London, England

    Virgin Media moving weird. My wifi is working but for certain things. YouTube, IG, Disney+ is all fine but Safari, Twitter and other apps ain’t working. Fix up man. I ain’t paying all this money for daily issues @virginmedia

  • shah4569 Shah 🦅 (@shah4569) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia All these problems. But still fleecing money from us.

  • LutherB40510976 Luther Blissett (@LutherB40510976) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia can you give me a direct number to call to cancel my contract. I've used whataspp / webchat and spoken to two people in last 24 hours - but to no avail.

  • RogerHighfield Roger Highfield (@RogerHighfield) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia My broadband is down again - area21. Any idea of when it will be fixed?

  • WilsonJevelyn Dr Jan Evelyn-Wilson (@WilsonJevelyn) reported from London, England

    @VirginMedia wi-fi just cut out AGAIN! Annoying when one is in the middle of something. WHY!

  • RogerHighfield Roger Highfield (@RogerHighfield) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia, your app does not seem to think there's a problem with the internet in area 21. I think different. Can you check?!

  • GoonerGrizzly grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported from Thundersley, England

    @virginmedia I have spoken to your CS team about raising a complaint and have been told that the complaints procedure is for existing customers. As I am yet to go live, I am not considered a customer and therefore have no where to go.

  • MelanieHart72 Melanie Hart (@MelanieHart72) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia You have put my bill up from £84 to £96 in one month and you are not providing a service I should have my full services 24/7 for that price and getting any compensation it like getting blood out of a stone !!! Disgusting service

  • _Lewis_A Lewis Allen ⚒ (@_Lewis_A) reported from London, England

    @ameehan71 @virginmedia All new and reconnected. 200mb then next day nothing, comes on for a day then drops to 10mb. Talk to customer service and they don't have a clue. They also want over £400 for me to leave. Worst service I've ever known

  • farnsworth_adam Adam Farnsworth (@farnsworth_adam) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia It’s appalling they can act so quickly What about the speed issue?

  • imybashir Imran Bashir (@imybashir) reported

    @virginmedia internet down since yesterday around 7pm. Still no idea when it will be fixed. Can’t get hold of customer service. This is the second time this has happened in a month or so. Extremely disappointed, I think it’s time to start looking for another internet provider.

  • RoseyMacdoo Rosey MacDoo (@RoseyMacdoo) reported

    @virginmedia Yes there was a screenshot in the tweet that followed. This happened 9 days ago too but that time I was able to register the loss of service on my account online so that automatic compensation could be applied automatically if applicable. That facility seems to have gone/moved?

  • AnnaGreathead Anna Sue (@AnnaGreathead) reported

    Hey there @virginmedia - dreadful broadband for the last 24 hours. Intermittent, slow. Have done all your checks and got 'Oops - something went wrong' when accessing the link sent by the automated helpdesk. Two trying to WFH and two teenagers. Please resolve.

  • amydingwall1 Amy Dingwall (@amydingwall1) reported

    @virginmedia No known issues for broadband but known TV issues. WiFi has come back on however very slow, connections buffering often. Seems to be a lot of road works outside and I am concerned this may have something to do with it.

  • canyouexplaint1 canyouexplaintome (@canyouexplaint1) reported

    @virginmedia I have looked online and as I say the only offer is £131 for a £78 deal to new customers which is awful! And there simply is no response at all from the leave contract team! And yes I’ve been since before 8am

  • PromisesRust Promises Rust (@PromisesRust) reported

    @virginmedia There's definitely something - this is the first I have been able to get online since 5am. I've been with you 9 years but the instability over past 2 weeks or so means it is time to try another provider. Can I email a cancel request?

  • jgoldingay jgoldingay (@jgoldingay) reported

    @virginmedia Once again we have no broadband, on top of a much reduced mobile phone signal! Been off and on for a month now. Seriously being ripped off here. Been with you for at least 10 years as well! Well no more, I've had enough of this shoddy service.

  • PEFJosie Josie Hynes (@PEFJosie) reported

    @virginmedia I have just received a scam phone call about internet issues, the number they rang from is a @SalfordUni number: 0161 295 2487.

  • jasonali121 SRK (@jasonali121) reported

    @vmbusiness @vmbusinesshelp worst customer service ever, I have placed my order and now chasing for update, having to be on hold over 50mins at a time, and then getting disconnected. Time to cancel

  • jellis1980uk john ellis (@jellis1980uk) reported

    @virginmedia can I get help about the status of my upgrade please it was due Monday 16th. I've heard nothing since the initial confirmation email
