Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, EnglandAfter 20 years of being with @virginmedia and Telewest before that, I’ve finally decided to jump ship. Broadband has been horrendous for a couple of weeks and constant issues. 😔. #TimeforaChange

-
Twiterteroo (@Twiterteroo) reported from Gillingham, England@virginmedia Folks, amuse me, why on earth would I or anyone complete a survey after leaving you when you couldn’t deal with the issue within 2 months and dare I say the plus 20 years we had an undiagnosed fault!?
-
Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported from Gillingham, England@virginmedia No, we’re way past all that now, this has been going on for months/years. Now, I can’t even get to talk to anyone. I’ve requested you change my box. You haven’t. What is the head office address for service of legal documents please?
-
C Borrill-Bromige (@cboxot) reported from Rochester, England@virginmedia @virginmedia I've been having issues with internet dropping out continuosly for a couple of months, you sent another WiFi pod still the problem is there! The hub 3 status network connection has warnings and is critical, losing sync! I have been spin around in circles
-
matt (@briggsym) reported from Wickford, England@virginmedia how can I complain about internet reliability from your service. It has been appalling and inconsistent and seriously considering moving to another provider.
-
LiisaJane'x (@LiisaJane) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia @nickgooner80 I wanna know why my broadband has been all day! I do not want to be paying for a service I cannot use!!!!!! 🤬🤬 I have a bored 6 year old. SORT IT OUT!!! And I can’t check my service status as I can’t access the internet even on my 4G or the virgin media app.
-
Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported from Gillingham, England@BritishGas I’m truly astonished. I didn’t think there could be anyone worse than @virginmedia for customer service but you’ve managed it. I’m in awe.
-
Michael Buckley (@MikeBuckley2) reported from Gillingham, England@virginmedia I am trying to access live chat as I have blackspots in house and would like WiFi boosters from Virgin. I have 200 Mbps but am getting only 20mbps in bedroom. Cannot find live chat on sites other than loads of help pages. Really frustrating
-
Thomas Hapgood (@Tiger118118) reported from Basildon, England**** you @virginmedia I want my money back please 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
-
Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia I’ve sorted the issue. But now there’s no way of cancelling the engineer! Can’t get through on phone. Appointment isn’t showing on their account, so can’t cancel there. WhatsApp is useless - been waiting for an Agent to be available since about 1pm!
-
Sharon Cooper (@vamplady35) reported from Gillingham, England@virginmedia My understanding is that it is affecting a lot of people. I have now worked out how to access my email another way but do strongly feel that virgin media should be looking to resolve this issue ASAP.
-
grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported from Thundersley, England@virginmedia This seems to be the standard message coming from Virgin Media. “Computer says no”. If you can’t see the issue with this then you (Virgin Media) are the problem. I’m inclined to contact the ombudsman as you have sold me a service which you blatantly cannot provide or install.
-
Rob Green Jnr (@rob_green86) reported from Thundersley, EnglandAnyone else really struggling with slow speeds over the last 10 days with @virginmedia. It's been spot on for 2 years now and then 10 days it seems something has happened. Lucky to get over 10Mb now 🙈
-
Julie McCarthy (@jooz282) reported from Rochester, England@virginmedia problems with the boxing again tonight - paid for @anthonyfjoshua fight and keep getting pixelated picture and channel going off air entirely - is it being sorted?
-
Paul Ilett, Author (@Paul_Ilett) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@fingers_terry @virginmedia I hope so. I’d hate to have to cancel my subscription.
-
lindsay wood (@Dearnormajeane) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@kelseybytheway @virginmedia Second this so ******* hard. Diagnostics dont do **** when the issue is with the hardware itself
-
Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported from Gillingham, England@virginmedia I’ve had two lengthy phone calls with your ‘technical support’ people; it briefly got quicker then stopped working completely. On their instructions I’ve changed some settings on my router which apparently may take 48 hours to fully take effect…
-
Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, EnglandHey @virginmedia Parents new 360 box not working and engineer not available to come out til the 27th!!!! Not good enough! 😔

-
HJM (@HannahJM1806) reported@virginmedia @alexand979677 Yay, let’s all mess about trying to sign in to the app on your laptop, to find a HDMI cable, plugging that bugger in and then hoping to all things holy that it actually connects whilst missing the first half of the game you’re trying to watch as opposed to Virgin actually fix it!
-
Cakes6G | Art on Objkt (@Cakes6G) reported@MickeyDN7 @virginmedia @SkySports Why do you bother giving your money to these huge, crap corporate entities is beyond me!?
-
Runningman (@frankieJnr66) reported@virginmedia How long has this issue been going on for now as I reported it 4 days ago and people saying it’s been 10 days? You surely can’t be serious!
-
Rob Heneghan (@robheneghan) reported@virginmedia when do you plan on fixing the red button sky spots + issue??? I can’t pick what games I watch on line. I don’t want to watch tv on my phone and I don’t want to DM you. Me and many others simply want to know when you plan on fixing the issue
-
johan cruft (@rjbjmb) reported@virginmedia I don’t have sky sports as part of my package with you but have been able to watch it since Saturday. Is this part of the same issue?
-
Alan Roberts (@AlanRob68902430) reported@Carolestfc1 @virginmedia Its grounds to terminate the contract

Gary Jackson 🇺🇦 🍻🎙📻 (@Gary_P_Jackson) reported@JFab208 @virginmedia 28 August according to service status
-
Gram (@Gram7070707070) reported@Carolestfc1 @virginmedia Worst company I have ever dealt with and it's not even close. They'll screw your credit rating by mistake and never, ever fix it. They'll hang up on you, the staff don't put notes on accounts and you have to tell the same story to 20 different disinterested call centre staff.
