    @virginmedia Not really. I have made arrangements to bring my account up to date and close it as I am a responsible person. However as a result of the U Switch service not working. I have paid you £150 extra for a service that I have not used. So from my point of view I am very frustrated

  • thebiggayreview The Big Gay Review (@thebiggayreview) reported from Basingstoke, England

    WiFi went down in the middle of watching Halloween Ends. 4G signal also unresponsive. Stuck on very slow 4G. Virgin Media say it’s possibly a hardware fault and want to send someone Monday. No. I’m not waiting 72 hours with no internet. I’ll implode.

  • lissaburns Melissa Burns (@lissaburns) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @tonight__we_fly @virginmedia Exactly this 👆🏻... at least long serving customers are apparently all treated equally... with poor service 😭

  • pilot_paul Pilot_Paul (@pilot_paul) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia @joelycollinsx Hilarious. You get a link after ringing the number but the website is down

  • SimonMiller52 Simon Miller (@SimonMiller52) reported from Thatcham, England

    @virginmedia Hi yes I’ve done this numerous times and spoken to many people on chat and always been told I will get a call to discuss and I never hear back. I just want someone to look into why we cannot get it but it’s available on our road. Thanks

  • MatildaDr Joanne Wells (@MatildaDr) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia you used to be great, but now not so great. I lose my internet connection far more frequently now. There’s an error when I try and change my package online. I’ve phoned customer service now I have to call tomorrow as your systems are down for changing packages

  • littlekatyb Katy Blay (@littlekatyb) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia Hi! Our landline is being switched over to fibre on the 4th October, however our landline and WiFi hub are not on the same floor so we cannot connect them. Help please!

  • TropicKarenB Total Tropic Karen 🌴 (@TropicKarenB) reported from Newbury, England

    @virginmedia No broadband service in RG14 and your service status checker isn't working. Is there a know issue? #virginmedia

  • TheTomothy Tom Hogan (@TheTomothy) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia better have a good explanation for this but likely this will never be answered and all my years of bills and loyalty mean absolutely sod all. @bt_uk and @SkyHelpTeam Any good deals on broadband? And can you promise you wont vandalise my home & connection randomly?

  • pilot_paul Pilot_Paul 🇪🇸 (@pilot_paul) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @Dom_Brown2406 @virginmedia Got through. They aim to fix the issue by 10:00

  • fayeharland faye harland (@fayeharland) reported from Woolhampton, England

    @virginmedia hi there not sure if you can help. We’ve been trying to contact my Uncle for a few days on his landline and it’s going direct to the message service. We’re getting quite worried about him and wondered if it’s possible to see if there’s a fault on the line?

  • richcon98 Richard Conway (@richcon98) reported from Thatcham, England

    @virginmedia I have to say @virginmedia are one of the worst companies to contact if you have an issue. Their message system is a joke and accounts a shambles. @skyuk is looking a better prospect!!!!

    @virginmedia Spent most of the afternoon waiting to speak to you about the 25% increase on my bill only to have the phone put down on me as soon as I get through.

  • MrNotsohumble :) (@MrNotsohumble) reported

    @alixcage @virginmedia They're an awful company!!

  • holleyalex alex (@holleyalex) reported

    Imagine if @virginmedia actually had customer support

  • rajgillwho Jed i Knight (@rajgillwho) reported

    @virginmedia It varies, it can be nearly 200mb. I did get 518mb on my mobile wireless connection the other day. So they can be achieved, it just depends how congestion on ur network. Looks like ur doing some system upgrades for ur fone lines

  • mrgkelhr mr_g_a (@mrgkelhr) reported

    @virginmedia My omnibox cover blew off in the storm. Now my external cable connectors are exposed to the elements. Just called customer services to ask for a replacement to be sent out and was told it would cost £25. Are they serious? It’s just a piece of plastic!

  • iwdWalk Walk With Women (@iwdWalk) reported

    @virginmedia Pls note how upsetting it is for #disabled people to constantly fight for the most basic rights And how humiliating it is to never be taken seriously. @virginmedia have made a very proud & intelligent woman feel helpless & further disabled.

  • CllrRoisinSmith Roisin Smith (@CllrRoisinSmith) reported

    @virginmedia day 4 now of trying to resolve a nightmare where my service was instantly disconnected incurring multiple charges when I was trying to follow t&c's to terminate. Not one agent seems to understand. Tomorrow will be day 5

  • sebchapman Seb Chapman (@sebchapman) reported

    @virginmedia Don’t need updates, need acknowledgement there is an issue for many users and for someone to fix it!

  • Ads_LDN Ads ⭐️⭐️ (@Ads_LDN) reported

    @virginmedia It’s back up now after I did what you said twice and the rebooted and left it 10 mins. So who knows. Same thing happened yesterday as well. Thanks for your help will see how we get on.
