    @virginmedia hi there. My mum is having with her TV. We know there is an issue in her area and is being sorted but this is the 5th time this has happened in 3 wks. Please can someone contact me to explain why this is happening so often and what can be done? Thanks.

  • KarlTwist Karl Twist (@KarlTwist) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia No account info to login, no mobile sim card and poor broadband speeds. No ownership from anyone I’ve spoken to so far and no clearer if/when issues will be sorted. Where do I stand with cooling off period to cancel?

  • memcalea_maire Maire Cubbin (@memcalea_maire) reported from Wallasey, England

    @virginmedia Thank you , so I’m good to cancel my direct debit then? I mean if we are currently £84 in credit and our disconnection will be before the next bill date . I didn’t know if money was returned via the DD method but if it’s cheque then we are good to cancel our direct debit ? TIA .

  • charl_middo Charlotte Louise Middleton (@charl_middo) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia what is the problem with the broadband in the L9 area?! It’s been dodgy for weeks now and my husband now has to use his phone as a hotspot to be able to actually work from home because the broadband is so shocking!

  • KarlTwist Karl Twist (@KarlTwist) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Please have somebody contact me, I’ve been with you less than a week and I’ve had nothing but problems. It’s been a shocking early experience

  • lynielou72 Lyne (@lynielou72) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia your customer service is shocking, can't get through on a number and been chatting online for over an hour now still no nearer resolution.

  • ConnorTWilson Connor Wilson (@ConnorTWilson) reported from Birkenhead, England

    Virgin Media WiFi is honestly the worst to be with. Trying to watch films using the WiFi and its going off every 10 minutes. Nothing to do with our signal or our bill, it's just plain shite. Are they gonna sort it out? Are they ****

  • Sarahsgracesmum Clare Marie Watson (@Sarahsgracesmum) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia executive team emailed on 16th Feb to say they would deal with my issue within 28 days. Still waiting whilst you've taken more money for a useless service...I smell a sinking ship

  • EmmaZhaan64 Emma (@EmmaZhaan64) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia is there an issue with the Netflix app? I haven’t been able to access it in over a week.

  • Elle83 Michelle E (@Elle83) reported from Walton le Dale, England

    @virginmedia why does my super hub 3 keep resetting my WiFi password. I’m having to change it through settings every other day because it keeps defaulting back to the security key, this is causing major issues

  • GailCharnock Gail Charnock (@GailCharnock) reported from Shevington, England

    @virginmedia You are aware of the problem, told us it's a fault and it's being fixed by 12th April, it wasn't, we rang, you gave us reassurance it will be fixed by the 22nd, it hasn't, we rang got passed around a lot! Now you say it will be fixed 29th. Hands up if you would put up with this?

  • GaryBeggs_8 Gary Beggs (@GaryBeggs_8) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia can’t get through on the phone, so you launch an app to manage your own account, then when you try and make changes it sends you to a chat option which also you can’t get through on. Your service is an absolute joke !

  • SammyKnowlesX SJK (@SammyKnowlesX) reported from Banks, England

    @virginmedia can someone explain that why after several issues I’ve had with you, that you think it’s ok, to hike up the bill £20 a month on a fixed fee contract?! #disgusting #poorservice #donotrecommend

  • ThePhilAtkinson Phil (@ThePhilAtkinson) reported from Liverpool, England

    Virgin Media is ******* awful. Anyone know of another Internet provider that isn't complete dogshit?

  • ConnorTWilson Connor Wilson (@ConnorTWilson) reported from Birkenhead, England

    Honestly I could rant for ages about how bad Virgin media WiFi is, and they never seem to make an effort to improve it

  • lynn_WWTC Lynn (@lynn_WWTC) reported

    @virginmedia They have booked for tomorrow evening, as I say been left with no service which is concerning enough, but for your staff to cut customers off simply because they can’t fix is unacceptable.

  • AaronGa61291255 Aaron Gallagher (@AaronGa61291255) reported

    Oops, spoke too soon. Gone again. Damn my broken @virginmedia equipment. And it's back again. Not irritating at all.

  • quelchy70 Steve Quelch (@quelchy70) reported

    @virginmedia The service I have been provided is not good enough. The team knew 10 days before I was notified of the change. I was also promised some compensation which a manager would approve when they called me. But shockingly I haven’t had that call

  • georgexjettson George “Jettson” Naiwo (@georgexjettson) reported

    @virginmedia this internet issue is a joke! Cutting in and out, can’t even use it for me than 2 minutes without it dropping again #JokeOfACompany

  • ThatHollowGuy Jack 🏳️‍🌈 (@ThatHollowGuy) reported

    @virginmedia I really do hope you have a *team* working on it and not just 1 poor employee having to do all the hard work. The fact it’s almost been a week now means I’ll be having a serious discussion with my family about leaving your broadband and joining someone else, if not compensated

  • Torig1983 Victoria Gillespie (@Torig1983) reported

    @emro @virginmedia Eww i hate the hard sell. I cancelled a service with hot point after the sales guy was abrupt and pushy

  • kikiryan86 kelly (@kikiryan86) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam So ive just paid AGAIN! as the sky is saying you are having technical issues? The money has been withdrawn from my bank AGAIN! Yet you can’t get anyone to call me? I can’t wait to cancel my account with you #virginmedia

  • _Juggynawt Juggynawt - Lee (@_Juggynawt) reported

    @virginmedia It’s not a service outage. I’m aware of that. I’m just getting 5-20mb download and 1-2mb upload. It’s not great as my partner requires the internet for her job.

  • Kieranzs Kieran (@Kieranzs) reported

    @virginmedia They're all down

  • Kieranzs Kieran (@Kieranzs) reported

    @virginmedia I have, they tell me a technician is fixing it locally so my appointment will get canceled when it's fixed. I've actually just had an email saying the problem is fixed, but mine still ISNT. Now your website is saying to monitor for 24 hours before I can book another.
