  • 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

  • onearmedjohn Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia I think she was recording a fault as far as I could make out due to her poor English

  • onearmedjohn Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia This is so tiresome I have complained so many times about slow broadband speed, unreliable WiFi, terrible TV services & only after threatening to leave did you send an engineer in July. This made it a little better, but recently it’s been unreliable of an evening.

  • sinozza Simon Norris (@sinozza) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I spent over an hour on the phone yesterday trying to get through to a customer service rep only to get cut off. Still waiting to hear on WhatsApp and been on hold this afternoon 45 mins and still holding???? Whats going on??

  • onearmedjohn Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia No and there’s no point. You’ve had two years to fix this. I’m not paying any more and you can sue me. See you in court.

  • vamplady35 Sharon Cooper (@vamplady35) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia My understanding is that it is affecting a lot of people. I have now worked out how to access my email another way but do strongly feel that virgin media should be looking to resolve this issue ASAP.

  • 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?

  • wonky1961 Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @Mattallwright 2 years on since I have been having trouble with Virgin Media (fingers crossed) they may have now get an uninterrupted supply after charging me late payments more than double my Media prices whilst as a Vulnerable Person they were awful

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

    Wow Virgin media TV services are down nationwide due to a power outage. That's an awful lot of compensation.

  • KatiePurkiss Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    . @virginmedia down yet again? Not able to watch On Demand and error messages. Plus their website is down. 🙄

  • pinknblue Helen Dickens (pinknblue):) (@pinknblue) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia hello Merry Christmas. If any one is there today so you know 8f the e mails are down as from early this morning it keeps asking me to put in mu password and then not recognising it but won't let me re set either and I can't send or receive any e mails :(

  • Twiterteroo Twiterteroo (@Twiterteroo) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia Folks, amuse me, why on earth would I or anyone complete a survey after leaving you when you couldn’t deal with the issue within 2 months and dare I say the plus 20 years we had an undiagnosed fault!?

  • 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.

  • SUEG46 Sue Groves MBE (@SUEG46) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia we seem to have WiFi still but our sky box has lost connection.. is this related to the issues you have?

  • vamplady35 Sharon Cooper (@vamplady35) reported from Gillingham, England

    @jamesdgreen02 @virginmedia I've got the same problem. Was told by the faults team that if it wasn't fixed by 11pm last night that it should be fixed by 8pm tonight. Still not fixed at the moment

  • sinozza Simon Norris (@sinozza) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @ThatNickElse @virginmedia Did you get through in the end Nick...I'm having similar problems to you.

  • coxychris chris cox (@coxychris) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia why are no one answering your lines all I wanna do is cancel my package

  • onearmedjohn Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia No, I want the postal address for service of a county court summons.

  • kellydyke08 Kelly **** (@kellydyke08) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia time now 11:14pm and certain channels still aren’t working, things said they have recorded when they haven’t, search function also still not working code c133. I think a refund is due to a lot of customers 👎🏻👎🏻#virginmediadown

  • briggsym matt (@briggsym) reported from Wickford, England

    @virginmedia broadband speeds are awful - who should I go with @SkyUK or @BTGroup

  • ValerieJStorm vallers 🌷 (@ValerieJStorm) reported

    Per min costs on the 0345 number. Can't afford to keep on the line for my mental or financial health! Please #virginmedia can you sort this issue out.

  • SP33D_DEMON_ Pete (@SP33D_DEMON_) reported

    @virginmedia my Internet has been ridiculously slow for about a week now. What is going on. B36 area

  • stoddy89 The Grim Tweeter (@stoddy89) reported

    @virginmedia The problem has been solved but my issue with VM hasn't. I'll be taking this matter further. Seriously, you were prepared to leave my family with no heating or Internet for work and Uni lessons in a Lockdown. Unbelievable.

  • tripontoto Sophie (@tripontoto) reported

    @virginmedia Sophie_D. I just want to speak to someone in the customer service team rather than messing about on a forum trying to self diagnose the problem based on advice from someone who doesn’t even work for Virgin. I’m paying Virgin enough to be able to access proper customer support.

  • bladesrallyteam Bladesrallyteam (@bladesrallyteam) reported

    @MartinSLewis I have sent your news team an audio of a conversation I had with @virginmedia about changing my service to broadband only Black Friday Offer and the Blackmail also saying you were wrong to suggest that current customers could get the cheap deal

  • bladesrallyteam Bladesrallyteam (@bladesrallyteam) reported

    @pompeyhedge @immjunn @virginmedia You will get no help from them I have tried and they tried to Blackmail me into signing up to a new 18 month contract at a higher price than Black Friday Offer I have recorded the conversation and sent to Martin Lewis hope he uses it cancelled my service

  • xngeldxll doll (@xngeldxll) reported

    @virginmedia internet down , fed up of paying for this service when it constantly doesnt work

  • Jimmy_Newton1 Jimmy Newton (@Jimmy_Newton1) reported

    @virginmedia Yep I’ve tried, another thing is that all these apps work perfectly fine when I enable a vpn. I don’t know what this means but it might help identify the problem.

  • stoddy89 The Grim Tweeter (@stoddy89) reported

    @virginmedia The Customer service is absolutely diabolical and rude. Jess seems to think she knows everything about everything, including Court procedures. With her knowledge of the legal system and heating company practices she's wasted at VM.

  • Iain_Walker1 Iain Walker (@Iain_Walker1) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam - I am an existing customer who wants to remain with sky. can I make use of the black Friday deals or do I need to switch to virgin media?
