  • Tech_Analyst_UK Rob Anderson #TipToeingOutOfHibernation (@Tech_Analyst_UK) reported from Bedford, England

    @virginmedia I'm well aware of the service status page, but when it just gives a generic 'we know there's a problem and hope to get it fixed by 3pm' it's not very helpful. But seemingly the chatbot is even less so. Just lost connection for the 3rd time in 28 hours. #Anyone4Starlink?

  • stephylouise Steph (@stephylouise) reported from Desborough, England

    @virginmedia Would we be able to write to that address if we only wanted to cancel our landline? We currently have a TV package which we want to keep.

  • trushar108 Trushār Patel (@trushar108) reported from Wellingborough, England

    @Virgin @virginmedia @richardbranson Dear Virgin Media, unlawful pretending fraudulent callers keep ringing us about a nonsense router signal issue and hacked IP network? Can you please implement preventative measures to protect vulnerable community members living in the UK. Thx

  • OllieToogood Ollie Toogood (@OllieToogood) reported from Northamptonshire, England

    @virginmedia why is it impossible to speak with anyone who can help? I keep wasting hours of my time on hold to no avail

  • Tech_Analyst_UK Rob Anderson #TipToeingOutOfHibernation (@Tech_Analyst_UK) reported from Bedford, England

    2nd day running that @virginmedia services have dropped out. Unacceptable with so many working from home. Chatbot just redirects to service status #fail

  • stephylouise Steph (@stephylouise) reported from Desborough, England

    @virginmedia why is it impossible to get to speak to an actual human being? We've been trying to get through to cancel our landline for months and get nowhere. Led round in circles until eventually the call cuts off. Can anyone help?

  • charleshill23 Charlie (@charleshill23) reported from Desborough, England

    @virginmedia hi, I am utterly disgusted with the way I have been spoken to on the phone when I called to talk about an account. I then had a call back and was spoke to like a deprived human being. I want to leave your service as your customer service skills are an abomination.

  • ChantelleEJ Chantelle (@ChantelleEJ) reported from Northamptonshire, England

    @virginmedia Thanks KT. Unfortunately it’s still not working and I have tried the online service checker and the number, it says no faults. Is the internet problem linked to the on demand problem? I’ve been out at work for 12 hours so it’s been like this all day :(

  • swimmingsu Su Felce (@swimmingsu) reported from Cardington, England

    So frustrated with @virginmedia spend over an hour on hold only to be cut off by their customer service rep #whatcustomerservice #frustrated #zerocustomerservice

  • russsanders2 russ sanders (@russsanders2) reported from Northamptonshire, England

    @virginmedia customer service not answering phone. How you expect to keep customers.

  • Just_Woodbridge Justine (@Just_Woodbridge) reported from Wellingborough, England

    @virginmedia I thought my issue was resolved yesterday, but today I’ve had an email saying something different. I text the number again, at 11.28am, the bot replied but nothing since then?!

  • Privatenugget2 Privatenugget (@Privatenugget2) reported from Irthlingborough, England

    @tiff_tv @TalkTalk That's not bad tbh i have rung virgin media been on the hold for over an hour then they just cut me off🙄🙄🙄

  • Gordonsalive200 Stuart Paterson (@Gordonsalive200) reported from Bedford, England

    Are there any other UK @skytv customers having trouble with Sky Q boxes over a #virginmedia broadband connection?

  • erikalesleyneal erika lesley neale (@erikalesleyneal) reported from Rothwell, England

    @virginmedia Hi I was wanting to cancel my order because I have changed my mind

  • cazzlar1985 Cazzlar!! (@cazzlar1985) reported from Burton Latimer, England

    @virginmedia @peterlealfc That link doesn't work!

  • swimmingsu Su Felce (@swimmingsu) reported from Cardington, England

    @virginmedia 1/2 been on the phone for over an hour on hold waiting for customer service - finally get through and the customer service rep cuts me off before I even say what I want...

  • Just_Woodbridge Justine (@Just_Woodbridge) reported from Wellingborough, England

    @virginmedia I have sent text messages to the number you provided on here, and I last spoke to several customer representatives on 26th January, then asked to speak to a manager, was put on hold for 50 minutes, then you cut me off/the line went dead. So, nothing has been resolved.

  • Helenfaerieart Helenfaerieart (@Helenfaerieart) reported from Northamptonshire, England

    @virginmedia random phone call from your tech support, issues with my router apparently, but, didn't know my name, address or account number...I guess this is phishing and fake?

  • ChantelleEJ Chantelle (@ChantelleEJ) reported from Northamptonshire, England

    @virginmedia Thank you. It came back on yesterday AM but was out since Thurs PM. It was always flashing green and early Sat after running a test it said it was a network issue. I was luckily not working at home on Fri. It was difficult to find out if it was me or the network for a long time.

  • Just_Woodbridge Justine (@Just_Woodbridge) reported from Wellingborough, England

    @virginmedia Tried this 3 times today. It will not submit my complaint. Very handy.

  • Powellinho86 Shaun Powell (@Powellinho86) reported

    @virginmedia is there a reason why my 1gb ‘super fast internet’ as you put it never seems to work! Struggles to load anything and in fact is slower than the one I’ve uograded from! And to add to that now the sky sports hd channels also don’t work!

  • threesmummy Hels 💙 (@threesmummy) reported

    @virginmedia son just collected hub as new customer and no power cable in there! Needs help and hanging on endlessly on his phone for contact - can anyone help? Wishing he hadn’t signed up and blaming me for recommending! Not a good start!

  • Russhg62 Russell (@Russhg62) reported

    @virginmedia Virgin Media....Only take your phone calls if you upgrade or add channels...No chance of an answer if you downgrade or need to cancel 🤮

  • lizpen22 Liz P (@lizpen22) reported

    @virginmedia it's now been 2 and a half hours, one cut off call, 3 transfers later and we're still no closer to cancelling and still no response from you lot on twitter either. I will be taking this further, it is WRONG to make it this difficult to just cancel a contract!

  • jeff20six Jeff Halls (@jeff20six) reported

    @virginmedia Stop@making false claims. The worst service provider I have ever used

  • Ce_flooring C.E.FLOORING. (@Ce_flooring) reported

    @virginmedia Really my wifi is slow as a snail and I’ve had to buy a booster for your super fast wifi I think your telling porkies and owe me a score for the booster 👊🏻💦

  • HayzBA hayz (@HayzBA) reported

    I possibly might have the worst internet to ever grace the planet, can't wait till I'm off virgin media

  • jeff20six Jeff Halls (@jeff20six) reported

    @NeilStu8 @virginmedia You are wasting your time. Ive suffered for almost a year now. The only efficient part of their service is the direct debit. Taken every month on the button

  • ruprect01 Andy Potter (@ruprect01) reported

    @virginmedia another phone call to your call center 32 minutes and counting , another broken promise, time to cancel

  • dp778 David Pearce (@dp778) reported

    @katerussell @virginmedia Am not sure what the advertised speed is but am getting 9.97Mbps on my M100 package if that is any help
