    @virginmedia hi guys I know it’s very busy but I was just wondering if you can send me a replacement SIM card as mine keeps losing signal and dropping calls

  • TylerTowers Ashley Halliday (@TylerTowers) reported from Gillingham, England

    40 minutes on hold (so far)for @virginmedia’ customer service. Whilst loads of online options to “solve your problem” when you get through on the phone and told they need to transfer my call, you do hope they are on the case! Why did I ever leave Sky - a false economy

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

    @virginmedia I hope you are going to compensate people for these issues. Mines been like this for weeks so much so that I thought it was the super hub. Looks like I may leave I’m June service is awful

  • georgieinlondon 𝙂𝙚𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙞𝙚 𝙎𝙢𝙞𝙩𝙝 (@georgieinlondon) reported

    @virginmedia He said he did. But i dont understand how he has three routers and now 2. The internet is still really bad and they have been cut off from their home telephone line. Can we arrange an engineer to come check this out and help them please?

  • SmithysMaud Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia Telling me an engineer will come next week now, not good enough. Waited in all morning for one that never came and still no service.

  • Mentalhealthjo5 Mental health journey (@Mentalhealthjo5) reported

    I actually hate being on @virginmedia. The worst service in my area. A top day of sport planned and work but I can’t do either. Could accept this if it was a one off outage but this is the 6th over summer and all conveniently fixed before they can compensate for loss of service

  • DipDabDave Dave Nichols (@DipDabDave) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, seems fine with Ethernet, just WiFi. Done pin hole reset thing numerous times. Eventually spoke to somebody on the phone who said it was an issue in the boxes on the street? Not sure that would be the case as I have an Apple Airport which is working fine as a WiFi network.

  • esoteriqq emily (@esoteriqq) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I have, I've tried everything. I did phone earlier regarding a different matter and mentioned it on the off chance the website was down. I was told to wait 3 days and call again if the problem persists

  • DMCDUCATISTOKE DMC Ducati Stoke (@DMCDUCATISTOKE) reported

    @virgin media, what is your adress to write to you to cancel my contract

  • JessLeighA Jess Adams (@JessLeighA) reported from Ketteringham, England

    @Jake_BHughes @virginmedia apparently we have a blockage where they need to connect us, which is what we would need fixing by thursday. being that unreliable we decided to cancel everything with them fully. a shame because what they offered was great. customer service department is not easy to get round 😭

  • RCuttingedge rebecca garratt (@RCuttingedge) reported

    @virginmedia is there issues in norwich? I have no tv or Internet since 7 am.?

  • GavinLeith Gavin Leith (@GavinLeith) reported

    @virginmedia no broadband for almost a day. Phoned and on second call told to call back in 7 hours. According to you no issue and nobody working on my problem. Is it miraculously going to come back by itself in the next 7 hours. Poor…

  • PaulDakin70 paul dakin (@PaulDakin70) reported

    @virginmedia The only thing is that there is never knowledge of any previous tickets issued on my account of which there are now 6. No knowledge of my problem at all so I have to say it all again. This gives no confidence that this won’t go on eternally as surely they should know.
