    @virginmedia I want to cancel my contract but can’t get through to anyone on the phone.

  • borntorun127 Sid (@borntorun127) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia Is there any coincidence that since i said i was closing my account, both Tv & Broadband have crashed 3 to 4 times daily? And you'll expect me to pay for this **** service

  • AlexioBailinho Al* (@AlexioBailinho) reported from Liverpool, England

    .@virginmedia having technical trouble with connecting my devices to WiFi. Internet went off due to power outage in L18 area last night. Require assistance please

  • scousenat *scousenat😘 (@scousenat) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia im ready to throw your modem in the bin and get onto the ombudsman you don’t provide a service you false advertise and your charging me for nothing!!

  • DavidWaywell David Waywell (@DavidWaywell) reported from Newton-le-Willows, England

    I don't mind so much that my Internet is down (these things happen) but I do get annoyed when the service status tells me it's fine. I don't know if I should be doing something to fix it. @virginmedia

  • HenninghanFiD Phillip™ (@HenninghanFiD) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia Alot are complaining bout outage. We all pay so much but lose internet on a regular basis. I had no tv, no phone, no net today, had to use my own net. In all as a virgin customer what are we paying for? To complain!

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Cuerdley, England

    And @virginmedia broadband appears to be having issues again. After losing it for hours on Friday due to a local area issue, my connection appears to have gone again and the router is constantly rebooting and searching for a connection. Not a stable service whatsoever.

  • amscaine Anne-Marie Caine (@amscaine) reported from St Helens, England

    @beech_mark @mcvity3 @virginmedia Since we moved beech they have been absolutely shite. Their customer service is non existent. They owe us £90 but can’t speak to anyone to get it refunded.

  • DavidWaywell David Waywell (@DavidWaywell) reported from Newton-le-Willows, England

    @virginmedia Can you tell me if there is any problem in the WA12 address? Internet has been of and on all day and your service status page doesn't seem to update.

  • LukeCav Luke Cav (@LukeCav) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia how longs the internet going to be down in the L8 area of liverpool?

  • Guitaraholic Paul McDonough (@Guitaraholic) reported from Liverpool, England

    Hay @virginmedia so as an ex-employee this is a bit embarrassing I couldn’t help with; but it looks like someone has fraudulently ordered a mobile and iPad in my dads name that were delivered today and he’s spent over 90 minutes on the phone getting the run around….

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia your sales team are telling people that upgrading to 200 speed will fix WiFi issues. I was looking for a new deal but don’t want to sign up until it’s guaranteed I can get WiFi in more than 2 rooms. I live in a small 3 bed and I’m on my 2nd router which is worse

  • HenninghanFiD Phillip™ (@HenninghanFiD) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia sort this outage out pls, we pay too much as it is so to have internet problems all the time is a joke. L20 area, no internet on cable or wifi. Ye gona lose customers for real.

    Why is Virgin Media internet so bad these days?? It’s been weeks with at least one outage a day, and the latest one has been ongoing since last night and still no internet!! @virginmedia #VirginMedia

  • m1cvv Micky Welch (@m1cvv) reported

    @virginmedia I like to have them split so I can have different devices on the 2.4 and the 5Gz. So basically every reboot or down time the 2.4 will automatically rename itself to what my 5Ghz signal is and all the devices which were connected to 2.4 then show as offline. 2/4

  • m1cvv Micky Welch (@m1cvv) reported

    @virginmedia Morning, wondering if somebody can help please. It's an issue I've raised in the past but still hasn't been solved. I'm use the Hub 4. Whenever it goes down or I have to reboot it I have to sign into the hub and then rename the 2.4Ghz wifi. 1/4

  • Aethiral David (@Aethiral) reported

    @virginmedia Yeah it’s never planned works it just cuts out for a while and everyone complains and then it goes back question is why around midnight? This has got to be intentional.

  • Paul_Reviews Paul Moore (@Paul_Reviews) reported

    @MissIG_Geek @virginmedia ... because public results differ greatly from authenticated ones. The public site regularly reports "all good" until you sign in, then the truth is *sometimes* revealed. Perhaps to stop slurping by competitors?!

  • Jay_Gallacher LundstramLoyal (@Jay_Gallacher) reported

    @seven7ins @SkyUK @virginmedia are useless was missold a contract where the agent garenteed Internet speeds and they keep dropping went to offcom they are useless as well locked in a contract because it was misssold they just put profit over customer service

  • stevedavidson_ Steve Davidson (@stevedavidson_) reported

    @virginmedia No. Given that the same problem is affecting all 4 of our numbers/handsets and there are many other reports of the same issue, it can’t be related to my handset.

  • m1cvv Micky Welch (@m1cvv) reported

    @virginmedia The last time I contacted you about it, well over a year ago now, I was told it was a known issue with the Hub 4 and it was being looked at. Can you let me know when this is going to be fixed as drop-outs are becoming more frequent. 3/4

  • buildagill A.Gill Building (@buildagill) reported

    @virginmedia Its a residential account. We were promised £50 credit off the first bill, no set up or activation fee. 1st bill should have been £6, then £28 there after. 1st bill was £91.... I've tried calling to fix problem but getting nowhere.

  • SGR_KSR K’sar (@SGR_KSR) reported

    @virginmedia My complaint was that my 30 days notice and subsequent submission of proof were both ignored. I gave my notice in June, I’m still with VM now and being charged double. My complaint was then closed down without any resolution or communication. This is how you lose customers….
