@_gl_lxuise @SkyUK @virginmedia Same problem here. They keep saying they have fixed the issue when they clearly haven’t. They are good at putting prices up but not at fixing issues. I’m going back to Sky.

@virginmedia broadband down again. Obviously a network fault, but system has booked an engineer visit. Given that my contract is up for renewal and the cost has nearly doubled, I think I am in the market for a new provider.

@virginmedia B744LG my neighbour is also having issues. Internet keeps dropping out so there’s clearly some sort of intermittent fault. I’ve wasted 45 mins on the phone trying to report it.

@virginmedia Did you notice the "again". On average it's down 2 days a month.

@virginmedia utterly appalling customer service once again. 15 minutes on hold to cancel a contract miss-sold to me.

@virginmedia tremendous service had problems with my tv service for 3 weeks now which you still haven’t sorted and now you put my bill up and to try and sort it all out I’ve now been on hold for an hour shocking

@BFILeigh @virginmedia @SkyUK I don’t know you but Virgin Media as a company are so bad they look Sky look amazing. If you can cancel and find an alternative I’d do it.

@Poxo01 We have been battling rising costs and poor service with @virginmedia for years. Have argued down the contract repeatedly due to issues. Just got the internet and home control stable again and then get another price increase letter. Fed up with them.

@stephanemassey @VirginMediaCorp You should leave Virgin Media, I can pretty much guarantee the service won’t improve and you’ll be left with no internet on a regular basis.

@virginmedia I'll check, but slow connection and frequent drop is ongoing. We looked at switching but didn't move as not enough confidence in alternative ISPs tbh.

@Cee_langie8852 @virginmedia Yes, they are useless. No service most of yesterday and as of 0530 this morning, no service again. I’ve spent hours waiting to get through to the technical team. It’s time @ofcom got involved.

@MrPaulTreadwell @virginmedia @Ofcom I’ve just spoken to a very rude lady in retentions. Have been lied to, apparently I was on the internet all day yesterday, I was in the office.

@MrCMorley @virginmedia If it’s anything like the ongoing outage in Four Oaks they won’t bother to contact you. I checked they had my correct details and I’ve had no updates. I’ve now cancelled my contract.

@virginmedia Nonsense. If you valued me as a customer I would not have gone through 3 months of unanswered calls and when I did speak to staff- accusations of lying. Check your records before cut and pasting bland replies.

Waiting over 22 minutes thus far for @virginmedia to answer phone, as I have no broadband service. Service suddenly went when watching catch up tv. 🙄

@virginmedia Hi, I already called you to cancel my account, why I still receive payment from your company after a month? You can’t let anyone leave your company by using such a awful disgusting and **** way?

@virginmedia What’s the best process to complain or get fixed? Your apps say everything is fine and all devices connected but as mentioned I can’t even watch a full Instagram reel. What’s the cool off period? I’ve had the service only for 8 days #disappointed

@virginmedia sort your ******* internet out you bunch of melts. Hundreds of foolish Virgin Media users with get this; no internet. Sick of their automated responses too, like, of course I’ve checked the service in the area on your website, hence why I’ve came here!

@Virgin @virginmedia my account was terminated and post that some charges were deducted unnecessarily.And when I am trying to call the customer care to fix the issue, they ask for my account number which doesn't exist. It's impossible to contact you guys and discuss the charges.

@kezzi92 @All4 I had the same problem on @virginmedia and couldn’t see it in ‘on demand’. However, I went to ‘Apps & Games’ on the tv, and was able to access from there ok. So I think it’s a problem with so 28 on ‘on demand’ across the board.
