    @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

  • 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

  • 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

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

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

    @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 ....

  • 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!

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

    @virginmedia care to explain why a member of staff felt that hanging up on a customer complaining about their broadband is acceptable? And now I’m stuck on hold AGAIN to solve my issue.

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

  • marcgallagher82 Marc Gallagher (@marcgallagher82) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia your sales team are the biggest bunch of #fraudsters I’ve ever dealt with! Phone us to offer a better package and you have taken our package and completely messed it all up! #CustomerService at it’s worst! If this is how you treat a loyal customer of 14year, I’m off!

  • _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

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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 🙈

  • 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!

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

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

  • 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?

  • RogerCole10135 roger cole (@RogerCole10135) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia reply to your tweet “NO” my wife pays a lot of money to your company for a poor service.

  • RogerCole10135 roger cole (@RogerCole10135) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia we done that, all connections are in to the box, your company network thinks that we are connected via router this not so, but has a cable run into the house.

  • mayapetitee maya ✨ ******* and whoreticulturalist (@mayapetitee) reported

    @virginmedia Nope! But every other “down right now” site is reporting mass outages in virgin. Are you saying that you don’t even know you have an issue right now?

  • randallwrites Lee Randall (@randallwrites) reported

    @virginmedia A while back you said you'd send me three boosters, and you only sent one. Then an email promising a free upgrade and either more boosters or £100 credit. No info how to claim. I still have poor signal to one room of my not large flat. What can we do here?

  • cakeyb2 Timothy Cakebread (@cakeyb2) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve now been able to make booking for a technican on Monday but can you confirm that we will get compensation for the total loss of tv only given I’ve reported it last night via my complaint (c-0812221928). So by Monday it will be just under two full days after the 2 day limit

  • zoe_engstrom zoe engstrom (@zoe_engstrom) reported

    @virginmedia All very well and good. I have just spoken to someone who said they’d call back if we got cut off as I’m in an area with intermittent signal. We got cut off. He hasn’t called back. I was in hold for half an hour. Suggestions?

  • TheLeeRamsay Lee Ramsay (@TheLeeRamsay) reported

    @virginmedia Is there any clarity on the issue? Do I need an appt or is it an outage? Thanks

  • GordonARHarris gordon harris (@GordonARHarris) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. Service down again in SL6, Maidenhead area. That is 4 days in a row now. The service status on your app does not show anything. What is going on ?

  • jayfarthing James Farthing (@jayfarthing) reported

    @virginmedia Nope, no issues locally. Neighbour's Internet is fine. Web Diagnostic says a hub issue, hub says there is no upstream connection or that its blocked

  • cakeyb2 Timothy Cakebread (@cakeyb2) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks - called the number and the auto msg says there is a complex issue being worked on in the area (no change in a month) but the link in the text you send said there is no issues in the postcode (which one is right/wrong)

  • tim_tand 👩🏾‍💻 (@tim_tand) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, it says it’s all good but it is not. The WiFi is still not working.
