    @virginmedia hi can someone help me with my broadband

    Richard Payne (@NuttyRichie) reported from South Shields, England

    @MrChrisWynn @Simon21ne @virginmedia @nowtvhelp @SkyHelpTeam I managed one week before cancelling! Sky says I have so many devices that it’s slowing the hub down, in 2019 that’s piss poor

  • LiamCottam
    Liam A Cottam (@LiamCottam) reported from Hebburn, England

    @virginmedia Everyone was fine (eventually). The feedback is simple. If I can self serve setting up and managing my account I should be able to self serve cancel.

    @virginmedia good customer service , they asked if they could ring me back in 15 mins due to his PC not working , now 2.5 hours later and I am still waiting , tried ringing them back and been on hold for 28 mins now 😡

  • minkewales
    minkewales (@minkewales) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @Dabooka @skybiggerpic @virginmedia It was my second attempt to be fair. First time they reduced the price rise to £1.50 per month, then I rang back a few days later to cancel. Found a better deal elsewhere but price was the driver for wanting to leave. Lovely @virginmedia agent was able to help!

  • sheeshkebab
    Ian K (@sheeshkebab) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I’m not after any account info though, so no need to go through security. Neither of my parents are very technical nor do I have access to the device showing the problem.

    @virginmedia poor service

  • Barrymore_Jones
    Michael Jones (@Barrymore_Jones) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia I need help

  • mickeywhizz
    Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your help with this, but can you please refrain from using foreign call centres; it is incredibly frustrating trying to explain to someone that you’re unhappy about your bill, who interprets this as a technical problem.......

  • LeslieBrown953
    Leslie Brown (@LeslieBrown953) reported from Hebburn, England

    @virginmedia Disgusted at the speed of my broadband I am receiving. Signal very very slow. Paying for M50 broadband. Feel I am paying over the odds for what I am getting. But I already know your reply. Everything ok our side. Also received that the price is going up #ripoff

  • Jonnycushlow
    Jonathan Cushlow (@Jonnycushlow) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia your broadband is garbage. Forever puttin the price up and your service gets worse #sky incoming

    neosalad (@neosalad) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @NatalieeeLoweee @virginmedia I had this issue. Got home from work to watch charity shield #MCILIV after avoiding the score and it was unwatchable because of the sound issues for me so I gave up. Will just watch #motd tonight instead. #nothappy

    @virginmedia Worst broadband and cable provider of all time.

  • toniaadiexx
    T (@toniaadiexx) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I’ve already spoken to someone on the phone who reset the network, but that didn’t work. I also tried re-starting everything and that also didn’t work, the box itself is very slow now also.

    @crokakaar @virginmedia Try calling them for help if you've got a spare few hours to waste.

  • brtoon
    Brian Reid (@brtoon) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia @honestlyhelen I've had similar feelings, my bill has rocketed by £11 per month over the last few months for my TV only service as Virgin only offer discounts now for multi package deals, loyalty no longer rewarded it seems 🤔

  • ThunderbirdWPC
    Tracey Ainsley (@ThunderbirdWPC) reported from Whickham, England

    @virginmedia Tried to pm you but won’t let me. Someone coming Wednesday now to sort problem

  • Tony_Hodson

    @virginmedia 1. Why the neighbour would not have the same issues when the ‘issue’ is your automated phone system is beyond my comprehension! 2. It is not a neighbours responsibility to resolve a phone issue for the bill payer. 3. Through an internal contact I now have an engineer visit bkd.

    @virginmedia This is so, so bad.

  • efsb
    Nick Barber (@efsb) reported

    @virginmedia - I can’t sign in to the app on IOS at the moment - it says I’m not the primary account holder - which I most certainly am! I’ve tried other email addresses & changed my password but nothing works. I can sign in on a PC.

  • JayLim79
    Jay ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (@JayLim79) reported

    @virginmedia #internet has gone down again, won't be seen to for 2 days - unacceptable. No escalation process Asked where I stand when it comes to leaving, was told I would need 3 days without service AND 3 technicians out in a 30day period @Ofcom #virginmediadown

  • Flamesandfoxes
    Catie (@Flamesandfoxes) reported

    @virginmedia We've had no contact and no resolution from your customer service team. We were already disappointed with quality of internet so tbh we are thinking of cancelling our contract and moving elsewhere. We get better speeds for lower monthly cost.

  • NatashaHarrisox
    Natasha Harrison (@NatashaHarrisox) reported

    @virginmedia Yeah I got what was needed in the end, but it's pretty poor customer service to announce its break time mid chat/transaction, and then I have to sit and wait on the conversation for nearly half an hour for the agent to finish their break. I've never known anything like it

  • charfaith84
    Charmaine Faith (@charfaith84) reported

    @virginmedia DISGRACEFUL!! One of your advisors have "accidentally" cancelled our services - we havent asked to cancel!!! Now told it will take over 72 hours to be reconnected for YOUR error!! No TV or broadband for over 3 days with a child isolating and I'm unable to work!

  • Slater7563
    Slater (@Slater7563) reported

    @CookieJohn_ Now and then virgin media just have problems like last night my IND was spiking from 20 to 50 and I would start lagging and my game would freeze completely then it would reconnect and I would still be in the game

  • chrisypoop
    chris (@chrisypoop) reported

    @virginmedia After 2 hours already on the phone i shall wait for another text saying 'network issue - tech cancelled' and call then If you test my broadband now, its working (as its intermittent) so you will cancel the tech?

  • BigBaldChris2
    BigBaldChris (@BigBaldChris2) reported

    Wow @virginmedia, another response from your complaints team which doesn’t resolve my issues and asks for me to do the same thing (again) that hasn’t worked yet!! #virginmedia #shockingservice #groundhogday

    @virginmedia Service status was fine, this was an issue across the damn country!! I know people who were in Yorkshire and London who were having the same issue as me in Newcastle.
