  • moebius1967 ron palmer (@moebius1967) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    Had a real problem with Virgin media. Was paying this month's bill when Virgin had a problem as with its auto payment service and the payment couldn't be processed. I then tried again via their website and the payment went through......

  • polhilljim Rochester Boy. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 (@polhilljim) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia I need to speak to a manager who can help. They don't seem to want to. I have a contract phone, it won't charge, it's under guarantee, I'm paying you and you won't help.

  • moleyfozz paul fouracre (@moleyfozz) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia since you upgraded me for free to intelligent wifi, ive lost all signal upstairs arghhh. How can i switch back?

  • Just_Daz_Young Darren Young 📺 (@Just_Daz_Young) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia My tariff is going up from £72ish to £108ish so I want to leave... Simple but trying to get them to do this is madness. Internet is slow and not reliable, I have been promised the earth and it has just got worst! @BBCWatchdog

  • WeHateHills WeHateHills (@WeHateHills) reported from South Woodham Ferrers, England

    @ClassicSoulDJ @virginmedia Get @BTGroup much more reliable - have read so many stories about #Virgin having problems

  • Paul_Ilett 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.

  • Just_Daz_Young Darren Young 📺 (@Just_Daz_Young) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia No its ok.... ill get a proper company to take the contract over and cancel you. @BBCWatchdog are surely interesting in your customer service as I have screen shots.

  • jooz282 Julie McCarthy (@jooz282) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia It was a little more than short lasting pixelation! The channel kept dropping completely and during the main fight it felt like we were watching in slow motion.

  • samanthadoe1 Samantha Doe (@samanthadoe1) reported from Canvey Island, England

    Having real problems with our broadband dropping out regularly @virginmedia. Any known issues in the SS8 area?

  • lillyelizax SatansLittleGirl🔮 (@lillyelizax) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia There isn’t internet down time the box has stopped working, they can’t get a new box out here till mid week, with a lot of people working from home you think you’d have next day delivery or something, bad enough we can’t have a engineer out to help

  • Winclouduk 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈Simon Winstanley 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@Winclouduk) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia is there internet issues in the Medway area?

  • Dearnormajeane 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

  • moleyfozz paul fouracre (@moleyfozz) reported from Rochester, England

    @MrG48 @virginmedia Now i cant get a wifi signal 6feet away from the hub... Argh..

  • polhilljim Rochester Boy. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 (@polhilljim) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia I've already done that. They've made promises but done nothing. I always have to chase you. Phone backs just don't happen. Nobody wants to help.

  • rob_green86 Rob Green Jnr (@rob_green86) reported from Thundersley, England

    @SpursKS @virginmedia What's the issue

  • jooz282 Julie McCarthy (@jooz282) reported from Rochester, England

  • wheatley_martin Martin Wheatley (@wheatley_martin) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, at length and he said the issue would be fixed first thing this morning.

  • anneb245 Anne (@anneb245) reported

    @virginmedia @CazzJ123 It's all righted itself now so must have been an issue at Virgin.

  • Bret_harts rimembah (@Bret_harts) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, although I have done all the resets before when I called service but had a rude lady answer.

  • neilredmondking Neil Redmond-King (@neilredmondking) reported

    @virginmedia BTW @sky always were able to tell me what the issue was. Wish I’d never left.

  • kez_gallagher Kerry Stylski (@kez_gallagher) reported

    @virginmedia It’s really unhelpful for multiple homes in an area to be out but the status reports (app and phone line) telling us there’s no issue.

  • martinerobins65 Martine Robins (@martinerobins65) reported

    @virginmedia Anyone having problems with accessing emails due to virgin upgrades? Almost 24 hours and ringing customer services is hopeless as unable to help? Is this acceptable?

  • JonathanTerry01 Jonathan Terry (@JonathanTerry01) reported

    @virginmedia I called you're appalling customer service team today and despite spending an hour on the phone 2 weeks ago, nothing was action. You have overcharged me £150 because your stupid staff can't do their job

  • NathanCurtis15 Nathan Curtis (@NathanCurtis15) reported

    @virginmedia Yes the courier hasn't even received the router from yourselves yet. Your customer service said there is a delay so it could be upwards to 4 days late

  • KevinCPLdn Kevin (@KevinCPLdn) reported

    @virginmedia I can’t use that link because I can’t login to my Virgin media. I’ve not been able to since I joined. Have called you 6 times now about it and you’ve not bothered to call back or resolve the issue once.

  • JC_Fpl #FPL JC (@JC_Fpl) reported

    @virginmedia I called up to explain and explain and nothing. I’ve put in complaints, been promised call backs and nothing. Ridiculously bad customer service. You can see I haven’t used any bandwidth and misled me completely and only want to b refunded and payments stopped until I want it live
