    @virginmedia I have had a house move booked for 2 weeks (planned for tomorrow) yet once again you have disconnected my services early at my current address. I’m working from home and your error has once again impacted me and now going to spend my morning again trying to fix!

  • SafcJamieG Jamie (@SafcJamieG) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia They raised a complaint and nothing was done about it, they probably didn’t even listen to the call where I was sold the product, if they did it would have been dealt with

  • Lucy__Hedley Lucy Hedley (@Lucy__Hedley) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I was told that I would be called back by a manager #lies Now due to further incompetence you have cut off my Internet & phone service. Claiming that I haven't paid a bill when there's a direct debit set up! #diabolical service. I've never been treated so poorly.

    @virginmedia Please stop sending me stupid tweets and sort my phone line out you bunch of useless clowns , when my renewal is due you will be loosing a customer and will definitely not recommend you to anyone

  • _spatula Spatula (@_spatula) reported

    @virginmedia my broadband is currently at less than 1/4 of what it should be. Speeds have been low for over 2 weeks, yet the support app doesn’t work, your contact number doesn’t connect and I have no other way of contacting you. I WFH, I need this fixed ASAP.

  • slayer1981 Stephen Ayres (@slayer1981) reported

    @virginmedia how am I supposed to get support from your teams when I have no Wi-Fi at home. I have ran all of the possible diagnostics from your website and still not working. Have been on hold for over 30 minutes and no agent available. This is far from ideal when I’m WFH

  • EndeanJeff Jeff Endean (@EndeanJeff) reported

    @virginmedia And yes it says good service in my area , I’ve already been told there’s a fault with my line but trying to arrange a engineer is impossible!!!

  • ertaaa rob (@ertaaa) reported

    @virginmedia Many times still down an no indication on your webpage of problems I m teaching students online today what do I telll them?

  • mrsh0lla MrsHoll 💙 (@mrsh0lla) reported

    @virginmedia I have used 8gb of data in the last month whilst being at home due to the poor WiFi coverage.

  • MattHarwood17 Matt Harwood (@MattHarwood17) reported

    @virginmedia Through wired. The service status page says there is no issue in the area, but when calling there’s a prerecorded message saying there is a “complex” issue. I assume it’s not acknowledged on the service status page so we can’t claim “automatic compensation” @BBCWatchdog

  • Joybalfe Joy Balfe (@Joybalfe) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia same crap different day - how you can call yourselves Broadband providers I will never know #falseadvertising

  • binthemaster Master Bin (@binthemaster) reported

    @virginmedia any idea when your customer service number 0345 454 1111 will be back up and running? When I try phoning all I get is “it has not been possible to connect your call, please try again later”. This seems to be the only way to contact you so not great that it’s down.

    @virginmedia Hi, no the itv hub never works
