    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?

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

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

  • Tiger118118 Thomas Hapgood (@Tiger118118) reported from Basildon, England

    **** you @virginmedia I want my money back please 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

  • 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 ****

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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!

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

    @virginmedia TV outage ME4?

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

  • _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

  • 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 🙈

  • laurasidestreet LauraSideStreet (@laurasidestreet) reported

    @Part_Mermaid @virginmedia That’s really good to know, it’s been particularly bad lately and dropping out all the time or just being very slow. I was ill last week & really need to catch up with work but guess what…internet is slow….again 😫

  • StooCollins $too (@StooCollins) reported

    @drewwagar Found out today that the fibre that’s been laid around us here is being handed over to Virgin Media. They have a shocking track record for stability in these parts, they want nearly £80pm for anything near decent speeds and their sales team has called me 5 times today unsolicited

  • AlunPonting Alun Ponting ♻️ (@AlunPonting) reported

    @virginmedia I called in early Feb for an update on complaint & to give 30 days notice. The agent instead cancelled our contract with immediate effect, disconnecting our services that same Friday evening. It took 10+ (evidencable) hours of calls that weekend trying to fix that issue... 2/3

  • Gareth41256476 Gareth (@Gareth41256476) reported

    @virginmedia my parents signed contract with u on moving into new house in bookham. Installation date was set for3jan. been pushed back 4 times now to 17 March. They are without internet. This is beyond a joke and no customer service/ info, just poor excuses. pls can Vm help?!

  • samubtdp scott urquhart (@samubtdp) reported

    @virginmedia your customer service team is not helpful

  • SirMrRealityMan Liam B (@SirMrRealityMan) reported

    @virginmedia Is there a way I can chat to someone about an account issue that isn't WhatsApp or via phone? Not really comfortable with those options

  • gilly8049 Neil (@gilly8049) reported

    @virginmedia Well maybe you need to find a way to make it less complex... I can't believe in 2022 it takes 72 hours to fix an "accident"

  • domkinsella Dom Kinsella (@domkinsella) reported

    Honestly worst decision I made leaving @skytv for @virginmedia I can never get hold@of anyone, they never get back to you. pay for the top of the range Wifi and it constantly goes off. Live in a 2 bedroom house and I can’t get Wifi in every room! It’s a joke!

  • StormHeaford tracy heaford (@StormHeaford) reported

    Been with Virgin media for nearly 20 years and don't ask for much apart from reliable service. Wanted to change landline number and they wanted 25 quid for it. I think excessive?

  • Scott04683475 Scott (@Scott04683475) reported

    @ReidBst @virginmedia The worst I I have ever received from any company absolutely disgusting and all they say is I apologise, they should be ashamed of themselves but they really don’t care,I had one lady hang up on me and when I called back she had put in the records that I had hung up , shambles
