    Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Nobody has called me and the WhatsApp chat is very frustrating and not dealing with the issue. This is very simple, I was sent contract paperwork with an agreed monthly fee of £86.75. Why have I paid two months of excessively higher payments. I should have left VM

    Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia 2/ Despite that issue being due to a junction connection in the cabinet in the street, the op seems to refuse to look at that and just wants to reboot my router. Also claims it is due to my use of Modem Mode. Is there anyone in the UK I can contact regarding this?

  • KittykatClaire
    Claire B🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛ (@KittykatClaire) reported from Willenhall, England

    @virginmedia I guess it's not your. Problem. After pushing me into a contract with them. I've been in touch with them and there nothing they can do they just want me. To turn my mobile on and off again

  • CaseyRain
    Casey Rain (aka S-Endz) (@CaseyRain) reported from Birmingham, England

    Causing me to drop out of a work meeting once every 10 minutes. Oh, and Virgin tried to blame it on my hardware? Except... My neighbour is seeing the EXACT same thing. This wasn't happening before the outage. @virginmedia why am I paying you lots of money for a spotty connection?

  • haychapperz
    hayley chapman (@haychapperz) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia what is going on B31 5 still without Broadband & TV from 11am and now being told fix is 12pm tomorrow. I have been unable to work all day & now problem is going in to tomorrow. This is unacceptable & I hope refunds for loss of service will be applied to all accounts.

    @virginmedia Hi, I’m getting around 80mpbs now, should be 350 though, when I try and test it says there’s a problem in the area, but no further information

    Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia The TV goes all distorted I’ve done webchats phone calls the lot nothing has been resolved was told it was a problem in the area , neighbours have had no issues happened still have issues now but not as often but it’s a bit annoying esp when I’ve not had any money off

    @virginmedia I’m meant to be on a webcall about my TV that doesn’t work can anyone help me please?

  • ReissOmari
    Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia It’s on both WiFi and wired. At this present moment I’m unable to get ANY network from the router on both.

  • ReissOmari
    Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England

    Ended up just reconnecting my TP Link router, it seems the problems were with my Hub 5 because everything seems to be working fine now. Not great @virginmedia

    @virginmedia Hi. The team have also said that the issue isn’t resolved though? Everything has been reset multiple times this morning and still the same issue.

  • stumccullagh
    Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Solihull, England

    @IanMurphy111 @virginmedia Been with them since Telewest I don’t know why I stay false promises poor service

  • steveblyth

  • stumccullagh
    Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia TV completely down this morning ,it’s been intermittent since September nobody helps me just fobbed off. Who is the ombudsman over you I can complain to? I’m no longer prepared to keep paying for services I’m not getting.

  • BrianMCape
    Brian Cape (@BrianMCape) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia And this is why, I'll be reporting you to trading standards for fraudulent misselling/misrepresentation and then abdicating ALL responsibility/accountability to resolve. There's no security/DPA issues in you giving me a direct dial number via DM. You just don't want to resolve.

  • ________Danny
    Satish Danny Paul (@________Danny) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia I received my new 500+mps broadband only to get 6mps on my phone in my room. The Router is Terrible and cannot send the speed to devices via wifi. Not Good for anyone

  • ericthecatmk2
    Chris Mullan (@ericthecatmk2) reported

    @Ofcom I had this problem with Virgin Media 4 years ago and told them the reason I'd never go back to them was because how difficult they'd made it for me to leave them. Months of stress

  • ThingsByNik
    Nik (@ThingsByNik) reported

    One of many reasons I would never go back to Virgin Media, no matter how much of a “good deal” they are offering. Awful company.

  • aidan_codtello
    Aidan Costello (@aidan_codtello) reported

    @entrustTMF @virginmedia Good reminder for me to chase them up about my poor broadband WiFi in the house and to renew contract or move.

  • MY21_Oracle
    Mehrdad Yousefi (@MY21_Oracle) reported

    Ofcom has fined Virgin Media O2 £28mn for repeatedly preventing customers from cancelling contracts, after it found that the UK telecoms group had likely mishandled millions of customer calls.

  • Andrew_TRP
    Coaster Addict (@Andrew_TRP) reported

    @MoneySavingExp I’ll never use Virgin Media again. Moved house in 2024 when I was out of contract, they put me on a new 18 months contract without telling me. No email, no letter. Complaints come to nothing. Terrible company.

  • tc9topcat
    Tariq Chowdry (@tc9topcat) reported

    @virginmedia - my internet has been down since 3pm in Bristol Can't get through to agent on phone. Please advise when it will be fixed.

  • S_Fleary1
    Sinai Fleary 🇬🇩🇻🇨 (@S_Fleary1) reported

    I have literally just left @virginmedia because of their poor service, constant internet outages and high bills. Let me know if we can claim compensation.

  • Dangerous180
    Tim (@Dangerous180) reported

    Tv box not working properly and now wi-fi is intermittent. For what I am paying you this is not good enough @virginmedia

  • winningearly
    Victor (@winningearly) reported

    Ofcom has fined Virgin Media O2 £28 million after concluding that, over a prolonged period, many customers faced unnecessary obstacles when trying to cancel their services.

  • elainerust
    Dr Elaine Rust (@elainerust) reported

    @virginmedia despite your £28 million fine for preventing the switching process, I find you are doing this to me. So much for resolving the issues and reviewing your processes. You’ve cancelled my request TWICE. This has to stop. @Ofcom
