    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......

  • 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?

  • 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.

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

    @SpursKS @virginmedia What's the issue

  • 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!

  • Kimlovett Kim Baker was Lovett (@Kimlovett) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @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 🙈

  • 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!

  • 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?

  • 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?

  • 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 ****

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

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

  • 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

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia TV outage ME4?

  • 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

  • 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

  • _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

  • 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.

    @virginmedia @virginhelp @richardbranson I have raised complaints at least 4 times if not more what ever I say it appears to get watered down nothing has moved forward, I asked for a senior managers call/contact me no one has ever called.All I want is a firm install date or a temp solution.

  • arvindsankaran1 Arvind Iyer (@arvindsankaran1) reported

    @virginmedia Have called 6 times since morning explaining repeatedly the same thing. Not one person in ur customer support or your pre-install team seem to understand this. They are purposely disconnecting my calls now. I am fed up. Can u arrange an engineer or ask someone 2 call/DM me?

  • jvtooey James V Tooey (@jvtooey) reported

    @virginmedia When the home move team put it though it locked them out the system which the said back office team can only deal with but that call was meant to be done on Monday at 2pm and never happened

  • MaldenSaboteur London Tim 🇺🇦#FBPE 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇲🇺🇵🇱🔸️ (@MaldenSaboteur) reported

    @virginmedia I've been a customer for 16 years & have generally recommended & and had good words to say about your service. However, you seem unable to resolve dropping my Internet speed from 630Mb to 40 after an "upgrade" and have provided utterly abysmal service in the process

  • T0nyPrice Tony Price (@T0nyPrice) reported

    @virginmedia I have a one hour lunch break do you think that a) you will answer it b) I won’t have to repeat everything again c) the customer support team can’t answer d) transferred to the customer relation team will answer and not deal. Why is your Online offering failing
