  • jooz282 Julie McCarthy (@jooz282) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia It was a little more than short lasting pixelation! The channel kept dropping completely and during the main fight it felt like we were watching in slow motion.

  • 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

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

  • _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

  • 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

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia TV outage ME4?

  • 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?

  • 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?

  • 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.

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

    @SpursKS @virginmedia What's the issue

  • 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?

  • 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 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

  • KeeleyOF101 Keeley O'Flaherty (@KeeleyOF101) reported from Thundersley, England

    @virginmedia you came to my mums house to fix cable. You’ve left having disconnected her phone line and sent it to a neighbour house who is now being rude. Been on hold hour on phone. Both in poor health phone Essential

  • 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.

  • 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

    @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

    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......

  • 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

  • decksteria decksteria (@decksteria) reported

    @virginmedia your sales team called me unannounced to “review contract” claimed to match new customer deals for existing customers. I called 150 to check legit - agent confirmed legit call, but couldn’t help me review. Now they deny all knowledge of call & can’t do such deals?! Fraud, no???

  • niamhyflynn Niamh (@niamhyflynn) reported

    Actually can't believe after having to spend a fortune on hotspotting due to not having internet for a week, then the engineer breaking our TV signal weeks ago we are STILL not able to get a resolution from @virginmedia . (1/2)

  • ilona_alcock Ilona Alcock (@ilona_alcock) reported

    @virginmedia Not good enough at all. We're literally paying for nothing and incurring additional charges to replace the service you should be offering. The aim was to fix it by 6pm on Thursday, Saturday and yesterday too. So you'll understand my frustration.

  • llyrwilliams93 Llŷr Williams 🎗 (@llyrwilliams93) reported

    @virginmedia On numerous occasions, we have tried to contact you with regards to our poor performing wifi. We're brand new customers. We have been treated terribly by yourselves. How on earth do you get away with treating customers this poorly?

  • Quaklez Aaron (@Quaklez) reported

    @virginmedia How do I cancel an order, without going through 30 thousand bot phone calls and message services...give me a human

  • freyaroutledge Freya Routledge (@freyaroutledge) reported

    @virginmedia The WiFi is completely down and has been so since last Tuesday - green WiFi icon is on on the router and the green line at the bottom is flashing. No other icons visible on the router.

  • MrFadedGlory 🔸MrFadedGlory🔸🇦🇺🇬🇧🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈 (@MrFadedGlory) reported

    .@virginmedia I have been waiting on the phone to speak to someone for 2 hours and eventually had to give up. I would appreciate an e-mail address to which I can send a note so I can raise an issue. Your "Help" pages are an oxymoron. Happy to web chat with a person.

  • DrewyTheGreat1 andrew worthington (@DrewyTheGreat1) reported

    @virginmedia guys why won’t you help my mum out she’s litchrally crying because you failed her and you won’t respond to her messages she’s a new customer who ordered to god damn phones
