    @jamesdgreen02 @virginmedia I've got the same problem. Was told by the faults team that if it wasn't fixed by 11pm last night that it should be fixed by 8pm tonight. Still not fixed at the moment

    @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.

    @BBCWatchdog can you help @virginmedia make it impossible to complain or resolve any issues the ultimate poor customer service!!

  • tolu_____
    Tolu (@tolu_____) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia How about just provide me a link to download the less than 10mb of pdf? Admin fee to provide a link or email a customer of over 3years? What have you offered me in return for the many times of INTERRUPTED service when I’ve had to turn to my mobile hotspot?

  • 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

  • KatiePurkiss
    Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    After 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

    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.

  • goonerlgh
    Lawrence Hooker (@goonerlgh) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia Third Superhub and it's just as unreliable as the previous two. Frequently has to be reset. Slow speeds, unstable wifi. When are you going to replace it with decent hardware?

  • Lisa2672

    @virginmedia Sort it out Virgin IT’S NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!!!! Can’t even log on to get service updates 😡😡😡

    @virginmedia what’s happened to your customer services? I have stayed with you for years now need your help, can’t log into my account need your help and holding forever on the phone ....

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

    Anyone 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 🙈

  • 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?

  • wonky61shaky
    Penny Rolfe (@wonky61shaky) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia When are you going to refund me for many days without a wifi signal

  • owensirons93
    Andrew Owen (@owensirons93) reported from Corringham, England

    @virginmedia any reason why you still haven’t fixed our phone lines? Been down for 3 months now so I’ll be expecting a reimbursement. Also expect a reimbursement due to the fact your failing to supply the minimum download speed

  • LiisaJane
    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.

  • vamplady35
    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.

  • adiesmith64
    ⚒Adrian Smith⚒ (@adiesmith64) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @KAYI50747133 @virginmedia Yep how you have explained it is exactly the same for me, have tried my 2nd box upstairs but the same problem!

  • rrrussboy
    Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia You’ve now sent me the same unhelpful link about compensation 3 times. This will only compensate me if I have no service, and as I have a service (albeit 3mbps) this, as I’ve repeated several times, doesn’t help me. Another example of poor customer service

    @virginmedia I've had no broadband since 1pm today, tv channels working bar the services that require Internet, reboot hub plus reset. Are there any issues in RG12 area?

  • Uitlander
    🕷️🇪🇺 🇬🇧 Uitlander (@Uitlander) reported

    @virginmedia - They need to talk to someone about my account options. They will call me back "later". - They hang up while I am pleading with them to stay on the line.

  • Fletchmyster85
    Adam Fletcher (@Fletchmyster85) reported

    @virginmedia 3-4 weeks now I've had issues with my broadband and TV. Tried calling but have to drop off because I don't have 30+ mins to wait. Start chats, after the long AI process I sit waiting for a person. Leave chat 30+ mins. Fill out complaints asking for a call from you...

  • 5amcoek
    sam (@5amcoek) reported

    @virginmedia anyway to get a proper update on the outage near me? Broadband has been off most of today and every fix just keeps getting delayed

  • erm2urm
    Urm (@erm2urm) reported

    Not long upgraded to 360. Is there a reason I need to login to @BBCiPlayer every single time I open it? I can't get into my @DisneyPlus account on one of the boxes. Not too happy with this 360 service atm. Could you help please @virginmedia

  • Driftinuphill
    Glen Dickson (@Driftinuphill) reported

    Virgin Media? Hi tech? Can't resolve a 4 day old broadband problem. Piss poor service. Piss poor communication. Said I'd get email updates but I can't log in to Virgin email. Chancers.

  • ScarlettShaw
    Scarlett Shaw (@ScarlettShaw) reported

    The one touch switch for broadband might sound like a good idea but here’s something they don’t mention. When you leave @virginmedia , the email address you’ve had for 30 years is deleted. So you have to spend hours and hours changing login details on everything. It’s so stupid.

    David Mellor (@eastmancred) reported

    @United_Webby @virginmedia @virginmedia are without doubt the worst company I've ever dealt with. Nothing ever works and you can't speak to anyone about it. Don't do it Webby.

  • spahcrab
    SPAHCRAB (@spahcrab) reported

    @virginmedia I'm already planning on cancelling my service. This must be a speed run record as I haven't even plugged in the router, nor received the damn thing.
