    @wickwarwolf @btsport One hour and a half wait on the phone today to cancel sports package on Virgin Media. If I want to add it back on it would take 2 minutes online. #virginmedia

    @virginmedia land line and internet is fine however we have 2 mobile phones and neither can make a call can you confirm if there is an issue as there is no answer from the call centre

  • sjbanks47 Simon Banks 🦁 (@sjbanks47) reported from Brownhills, England

    @virginmedia once again your online service status tells me there are no known issues in our area. I call to report I still have the intermittent fault I have had for over a week and told there is a fault in the area which may not be fixed until 12th March.

  • EgglestonMathew Mat 🏳️‍🌈 (@EgglestonMathew) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia That’s says no known issues. So I think there’s an issue with that too. Broadband doesn’t appear on any searches it’s like it’s disappeared . There’s an engineer coming tomorrow

  • Lysander_16 Lysander (@Lysander_16) reported from Wednesfield, England

    @virginmedia For now everything seems to be okay. Just frustrating when you're trying to stream and the internet does down for 7 hours.

  • evansaviography Andrew Evans (@evansaviography) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia @siandsal Well here in Solihull 120miles north no one on Virgin has a mobile signal either!!!

  • edbaker1965 Ed Baker (@edbaker1965) reported from Redditch, England

    Well that call to @vmbusiness about #VirginMobile has seriously made me reconsider being a customer #Rude #Unhelpful and unable to offer any support other than ring Mon-Fri 8-6 HELLO business works 24x7 #21StCentury

  • PhilTonks2 Phil Tonks (@PhilTonks2) reported from Dudley, England

    @alexfenlon @TalkTalk @virginmedia If they mess me about, I'll simply move. I was lied to, ignored and never resolved with @TalkTalk - and they have the cheek to send me rubbish about how they "miss" me. Try doing anything with 0.3mbs.

  • miyajhay9 miya (@miyajhay9) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia I’m tired of shocking connection. I’m working from home and I need a stable internet connection, not one that keeps cutting out ever few minutes. You’re happy to take our money every month but whenever I call you never fix it

  • VHoszko Vadic Hoszko (@VHoszko) reported from Dudley, England

    Country being on lockdown....no problem, in the garden tending to the fruit and Veg, keeping safe and isolating....no problem, going shopping for my dad who’s 93....no problem, not being able to watch Netflix because Virgin media is ****..big problem @virginmedia @richardbranson

  • PhilTonks2 Phil Tonks (@PhilTonks2) reported from Dudley, England

    @alexfenlon @TalkTalk @virginmedia I sincerely hope you don't end up with a fault. I was with @TalkTalk for many years until a fault last year. Quite honestly the worst company of any description I have ever dealt with. Totally failed to resolve, now much happier on @virginmedia

  • bilbody Scott Billing (@bilbody) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia hi. I had to unplug my router and now it’s not working. Can’t seem to get through or fix the issue through your site. Help.

  • Samyg1 Samantha 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@Samyg1) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia Yes it’s valid and in use as I’ve been using on my mobile phone. The issue I had was because I needed to access on laptop and couldn’t remember password

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

  • ImMarkDaniels Mark Daniels (@ImMarkDaniels) reported

    @virginmedia Nothing like that... basically said what I previously said... use Ethernet and as a result, I’ve needed to buy everything needed for all rooms to have a stable connection... the annoying thing is... I never had issue previously with my past service provider

  • SarahMaggie4 Sarah Maggie (@SarahMaggie4) reported

    @virginmedia internet down AGAIN. Cant face ringing through again for the 100th time this month

  • jamesroman1988 James Roman 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇮🇹🇪🇺 (@jamesroman1988) reported

    @virginmedia I complained about my box being slow. I was told I would get a new V6 box. 6 weeks & never arrived. Phoned & no record of box and if I wanted new I had to pay. Sent me a replacement box which is half the hard drive size of the old and no remote. How am I worse of??

  • Salford_Citizen Salford_Citizen (@Salford_Citizen) reported

    Is this your normal level of customer service, @virginmedia?! I sign up for your 500mb broadband and receive an installation date in two weeks time… all going well so far. Two days before installation I get informed (via text) that it will be delayed. 1/9

  • neale2021 Neale 👌 (@neale2021) reported

    @virginmedia Hmmm, if I ever get off hold I'll hopefully get a resolve on the issue, I'm unfortunately not very optimistic on a positive outcome.

  • fayalani Fay Alani (@fayalani) reported

    @virginmedia Yeah it says it’s fine. The problem is, it’s fine, until it drops out, then it works again, then drops out again etc. And obviously I can’t do anything when it’s dropped out, coz the internet isn’t connected to check

  • JRobinsonSport Jack Robinson (@JRobinsonSport) reported

    @virginmedia Our speeds have gone back to the normal crap. Yet everytime we ask for help, people act like our WiFi is fine. Getting download speeds of 6 when we pay for 200 is embarrassing...

  • Jw67891 Jwhelan (@Jw67891) reported

    .Hi @virginmedia - 6 months without workable wifi and can't get through to support. Just sat on hold for 20 mins before being hung up on, how do you advise we deal with this? Strange that you can still get through to sales in <20 seconds...

  • Gemmaebaird Gemma Baird (@Gemmaebaird) reported

    @virginmedia I don’t think so, I gave up looking as it was getting stupid. Can I find them somewhere in my account?

  • MightBeOzzy 🃏 (@MightBeOzzy) reported

    @idkmaya13 It’s been bad recently but why did you type virgin media like that 😭
