  • Kerry777 Kerry (@Kerry777) reported from Newport, England

    @virginmedia poor service! Second time calling in a week! Slow service and bad reception! For the money you pay it’s not acceptable. Time to look ok for a new service provider!

  • _jwynny James (@_jwynny) reported from Newport, England

    Virgin media need to go bust after tonight’s showing, just got to the good bit in who dares wins and it goes down for the millionth time today

    @virginmedia Down again in Newport , Shropshire ! Trying to work 🙄

  • danandbec Dan and Bec (@danandbec) reported from Stafford, England

    Well, @virginmedia what a way to welcome a new customer. Two weeks in and I’m getting speeds so slow the internet is unusable. A week to wait before an engineer visit and there’s no compensation. How do we key workers work from home this week on 2mbit?

  • mrsclholdcroft Claire Holdcroft (@mrsclholdcroft) reported from Stafford, England

    Trying to speak to @virginmedia is so hard, trying to cancel my contract for nearly 2 months now. Does anyone ever get out?

  • EmzeeJaye Emily-jaye collins. (@EmzeeJaye) reported from Stafford, England

    @virginmedia considering my number isn't on the directory and I've never given it out to anyone, it's funny how I am getting so many scam and cold calls.

  • booksandcomics StaffordBooks&Comics (@booksandcomics) reported from Stafford, England

    Right in the middle of hosting a virtual pub quiz with friends from around the world and our WiFi with @virginmedia cuts out. It’s been fine all the way through lock down, unsure why these past few days it has been awful...#virginmediadown

  • mrsclholdcroft Claire Holdcroft (@mrsclholdcroft) reported from Stafford, England

    @virginmedia can you please tell me how to ensure that you cancel my contract? I have tried since June! I’ve moved out and you keep on sending me bills and notices of not paying! The chat is useless as no one actually helps! It then disconnects! So disappointed.

  • supercharger49 Brian A Wilshaw (@supercharger49) reported from Rugeley, England

    @virginmedia Our virgin has been down for 2 days. When phoning, all we get is a message saying 'Sorry the service in your area is intermittent, our engineers are doing their best to fix it. Intermittent???? I wish! We've had no telephone, internet or TV continually for 2 days, 😡

  • small1808 nathan (@small1808) reported from Stafford, England

    @virginmedia been on hold with one of your customer service agents for 45 minutes now hope she is alright

  • Kerry777 Kerry (@Kerry777) reported from Newport, England

    @virginmedia I give up! Time to look for another service provider who cares about their customers!

  • BarryWi32733397 Barry Williams (@BarryWi32733397) reported from Hixon, England

    @staffsbrewery @unicom @openreach I walked away from BT Infinity in my Hixon village as soon as Virgin Media was available the Service from BT was not good to say the least and i safe money with VM compared to my monthly charges from BT and Sky

  • sjbanks47 Simon Banks 🦁 (@sjbanks47) reported from Brownhills, England

    @virginmedia once again your online service status tells me there are no known issues in our area. I call to report I still have the intermittent fault I have had for over a week and told there is a fault in the area which may not be fixed until 12th March.

  • EmzeeJaye Emily-jaye collins. (@EmzeeJaye) reported from Stafford, England

    Virgin media really need to pull their finger out. Don't boast a service that you simply cannot provide. What a bloody joke. #virginmedia #failmedia

  • AshMcFarlane95 Ash🌐 (@AshMcFarlane95) reported from Rugeley, England

    @virginmedia you internet service is down again

  • Timtastic10IAR Paul Rooney (@Timtastic10IAR) reported from Rugeley, England

    @virginmedia And down it goes again 😂

  • YidBarmy David Rathband (@YidBarmy) reported from Burntwood, England

    Virgin Media customer service is non existent. 6 times today I’ve called to make changes to my package. I’ve waited on average 50 minutes each time only to be cut off each time. You can add to your package on line but you can’t remove anything. Just wait till normality returns...

  • beckywvr_ Becky Weaver (@beckywvr_) reported from Albrighton, England

    @virginmedia Which would be fine, but it’s now been down for a further 40 minutes again and been lagging all morning. So it’s obviously far from fixed.

  • Georgekafetzis George Kafetzis (@Georgekafetzis) reported from Cheslyn Hay, England

    @VirginMedia the worst customer service known to mankind. I do not know how they say in business.

  • Wobbly74 Wobbly (@Wobbly74) reported

    @virginmedia now into day 4 of the great virgin broadband SW19 outage. No internets as far as the eye can see, just patchy mobile data. But at least I'm still paying for the privilege.

  • RupalSutar Rupal Sutar (@RupalSutar) reported

    @virginmedia my internet has been out since last night. I've tried all the troubleshooting suggestions but still no luck. Please help. I need the internet urgently today.

  • Ghost_A316 Ghost (@Ghost_A316) reported

    @virginmedia Yeah it’s now updated. Thank you, sorry if I was off with you it’s very frustrating when we have one working from home relying on your service and having to take a day off due to the issues which is resulting in loss of pay

  • ryanbhambra67 Ryan Bhambra (@ryanbhambra67) reported

    @virginmedia Called virgin to book for a phone socket to be moved 5ft, told it’s £99. Outrage as I was a paying client ( bt don’t charge). Put thorough to another dept, put the phone down, called again, explained again, i wanted to leave, was told to bugger off at the end.

  • MissS__NQT Miss S (@MissS__NQT) reported

    @virginmedia The service status has not shown any issues in my area and the Internet speeds have been getting progressively worse for a number of weeks now unfortunately.

  • TheGreenDevil20 The Green Devil ⏱ (@TheGreenDevil20) reported

    @flossybball @virginmedia The ******* worst

  • frutysheikh Fruity Sheikh (@frutysheikh) reported from Oadby and Wigston, England

    @virginmedia broadband is down in #wigston LE18

  • joseletemuniz Jose Muñiz (@joseletemuniz) reported

    @virginmedia @CherylHoleQueen Of course your service is a disgrace. This is what you spend your time and resources on.

  • Ghost_A316 Ghost (@Ghost_A316) reported

    @virginmedia It’s not that but speaking to the neighbours this morning they are having the same issues however your saying their is no fault in the area but clearly their is… not being funny but you should be sending someone out to the area when their is an issue

  • dannyvalzTTV Danny V (@dannyvalzTTV) reported

    @virginmedia I'm happy to do that. Is there a direct dial for second/third line support? I've dealt with first line too many times and done all the usual troubleshooting steps.
