    @bushontheradio Trying to get through to Virgin media to cancel the contract. Bloody chatbot isn't worth a ****

  • hungoverdrawn Robert Shaw (@hungoverdrawn) reported from Wainscott, England

    @virginmedia It's started working this morning after 24 hours down, bit strange that your website said there were no service issues anywhere 😒 I guess I'll cancel that engineer visit now.

  • JamieMeecham Jamie Meecham🏳️‍🌈♥️ (@JamieMeecham) reported from Canvey Island, England

    @virginmedia Hopefully the confirmation of the rude man losing his job.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • DronePilotGeoff Geoff Watkins (@DronePilotGeoff) reported from Gillingham, England

    @fasurveyors @virginmedia I have to say; I’m normally pretty pleased with @virginmedia internet. It’s normally fast and reliable. But last couple of days has been awful. It’s getting too expensive as well

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

    @westbrookdanni @virginmedia Up to 2 weeks ago I didn't have a bad word to say about them. The pure fact you can't get through to someone is the worst of it. Happy to take your money and trim your internet speeds!

  • TDF_TT TDF TT (@TDF_TT) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia TV outage ME4?

  • keldaaa Kelda🥤 (@keldaaa) reported from Canvey Island, England

    @virginmedia I can’t seem to find an email address or postal address for general queries, can you please provide me with one? My nan is now in a care home with dementia and we need to cancel her landline, broadband & mobile on her behalf so need to write to you to give details.

  • Bunglebob66 Robert Bailey (@Bunglebob66) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia get enough money from me and all the others get enough, from the rest of the paying public. So stop being greedy, stop paying the Premier clubs so much and wages will have to come down. There, sorted!

  • 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 🙈

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

    I'm having real trouble cancelling my Virgin media account. Cant6v chat them, can't email them now on hold for 10 minutes. Just want to end the contract give 30 days notice. New promotion only for new customers. Wtf?

  • _SamButler Sam #GSBOUT (@_SamButler) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia BT Sports 2 picture keeps getting distorted... any other channel is fine can you help please

  • jamesrfyoung James Young (@jamesrfyoung) reported from Wickford, England

    @virginmedia your internet has been rubbish recently with varying speeds as low as 5mb 1 minute then 95mb the next! Now it’s gone down completely! On top of not being able to speak with anyone I don’t feel that your service is worth it! #rubbishservice

  • jooz282 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?

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

    @SpursKS @virginmedia What's the issue

  • 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 This is a long story. But Virgin have changed my IMEI number making a second repair not possible. My account is down and even Virgin can't access it. I've been promised calls back several times but they've not happened. The litany of Virgin failures is impossible to put in a text

  • 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?

  • shillu1 s.p. (@shillu1) reported

    @virginmedia hi I’m having trouble getting anyone on the phone. I’m having issues with one of my v boxes for some reason when I try to watch anything on catch up it keeps losing the sound. The internet connection is fine and it works on my other box. Netflix and prime both work.

  • Les_Longley Leslie Longley (@Les_Longley) reported

    Hey! @virginmedia give us a message back when you're available cheers 👍🏻 Long time frustrated customer

  • nic_lenz Nick (@nic_lenz) reported

    @virginmedia As you are unreachable by phone, could you please give me a status update on my Complete Loss Of Service complaint (C1512201772)? I logged the complaint on the 15th December and still haven't been contacted. The outage issue was resolved on 22nd January.

  • Mark_the_man_89 Mark (@Mark_the_man_89) reported

    @virginmedia That error just shows connected devices with low wifi signal which I know they are but why is it showing this all of a sudden in browser. Have you updated it and this is a bug

  • cmurtagh1996 Xtof🐅 (@cmurtagh1996) reported

    @virginmedia Prime time 7-11pm every night it slows down and when I call i get told to check blackspots and everything which I have done. I then get advised to pay for boosters, which are out of stock. Then I go told too connect a wire but why should I pay for wires when it's wireless.

  • SianJones9814 Sian Jones (@SianJones9814) reported

    @virginmedia No they didn’t I’ve tried again a few times this afternoon on the number you have given and they say they are too busy and call back. Disgusting service for the amount of money you charge people

  • Mariach54223453 Mariachamberlain (@Mariach54223453) reported

    @virginmedia I have been trying to contact someone with regards to my package and potentially cancelling. There’s only 1 number on your site which just tells you to call back later. Your chat service doesn’t help. There’ no way to do this online unless you want to upgrade. Help!

  • walsh3017 Dene Paul Walsh (@walsh3017) reported

    @virginmedia It doesn’t work!! And you just sent me a extra charge of £3.50 a month to top off your crud service!

  • Cartmarc674 Marc carter (@Cartmarc674) reported

    @virginmedia I have spent 10 months trying to contact VM re billing issues. Have tried every means available, but no joy. On 3rd Jan.21. Eventually Laura Hackett rang, VM Executive Team. We agreed a new contract but no confirmation. I am now in arrears! HELP!
