    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?

  • yiddo71
    Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia 5 days with no landline despite your customer services saying 24 hours everytime I ring so yes I have been in touch and no they have still not sorted it total joke!

  • briggsym
    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.

  • yiddo71
    Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia No landline for 9 days following a house move, incorrect bills, and poor customer service being cut off many times

  • onearmedjohn
    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?

  • NicklessColin
    Colin Nickless (@NicklessColin) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia broadband down again in Southend. Had to pay for a BT WiFi day pass so my wife can continue working from home.

  • Paul_Ilett

    @fingers_terry @virginmedia I hope so. I’d hate to have to cancel my subscription.

    @Shayan86 @virginmedia It’s a disgrace - my husband works in tv too. You 100% cannot rely on VM. I am definitely changing. My bill started off at £35 and is now £45 as we had to buy boosters. Worst service ever. Skybroadband non-fibre was better than this.

  • 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.

    @virginmedia Thankyou I’ve done that hopefully they fix it 🙏🏻

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

    @virginmedia I’ve spent over 2 hours on the phone and I lost count of people I’ve spoken to when I got to 12. That’s just today and this has gone on for weeks. Pretty sure you would’ve lost me as a very longstanding customer by the time 28 days is up.

    john perreira (@johnperreira) reported from Basildon, England

    @simon_perreira @virginmedia Go with @NOWTV bruv.. never had a major problem with their service and you get a few tv channels thrown in as well.. when ever there has been a outside problem it been sorted in days.. oh and it def be 💯 cheaper than @virginmedia #Cowboys

  • 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?

  • KatiePurkiss
    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!

  • onearmedjohn
    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.

  • MikeBuckley2
    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

    @virginmedia WIFI been down for a few days, engineer comes, says he can’t fix it and leaves. No proof he was here and nothing to say he’ll fix it! Shockingly poor service DD5 1EJ

    @MaxiedotVox @virginmedia Same here! Terrible Wifi, can hardly get any work done. I liked Virgin for its speed but now the services terrible. In New Malden (Greater London).

  • Demon__Cyborg
    toastyborg (@Demon__Cyborg) reported

    @virginmedia absolutely sucks. They won’t even help me unlock my email and I’ve apparently been blacklisted for not doing anything???

  • jonno153
    Shakermaker (@jonno153) reported

    @virginmedia hello, I’ve been having WiFi problems for some time now. I already have a WiFi pod in the home but if I move it then we get another dead spot. I have called about this but was told that I need to have a speed test below 30mbps.

    Hey @virginmedia still 2hrs and 20 mins remaining to call me like you said you would to update/fix the fact that I’ve had no email access on any device for 11 days. Only 2 days over your last SLA. P.s. Thanks m not available to speak to Saturday, Sunday Monday

    @virginmedia @JuicyPolarBear Please mate contact @ virgin media 2 weeks not being able to access the app and your customer services just lie and fob me off. Not worked since I joined disgusting services

    AJ (@The_Broski_Boot) reported

    @virginmedia we are now over 12 hours into this issue without any meaningful update Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, services must be provided with reasonable care and skill. A prolonged outage without resolution or communication may breach this. Can you please update

    @NotFarLeftAtAll Said it many time whilst speaking to a customer service rep at Virgin Media . Absolutely pathetic.
