    Right who has virgin media tv someone help us

  • safdar Safdar Mustafa (@safdar) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia My WIFI is unbearable and affects my day of online meetings. I’ve done the usual troubleshooting and have your app too. Calling your support is useless and I can’t get through to a human. What do I need to do to resolve my issues? Message your CEO?

  • AV_Carys Carys Green (@AV_Carys) reported from Reading, England

    Feeling a tad disgruntled with @virginmedia I had to go into office today even though got tonsillitis as no broadband at home 😤 been two days now and trying to get hold of virginmedia impossible! Limited TV service I can live with but need broadband to work!

  • JurassicGarden Char (@JurassicGarden) reported from Didcot, England

    The worst part of Lockdown wasn't the loneliness, the boredom or the agitation. It was seeing ******* Birdseye, McCain's and Virgin Media shoving happy family lockdown vibes down your throat to advertise themselves.

  • fleetsaints Steve Jones (@fleetsaints) reported from Fleet, England

    Changed from sky broadband to @virginmedia seriously didn’t think it could be worse. How wrong I was. Utterly shocking broadband. Lost count of the number of times on the last 48 hours we’ve lost service.

  • 5aman1_m Munindra Samani (@5aman1_m) reported from Wokingham, England

    Yet again issues with virgin broadband. On the phone for over 25 mins - ridiculous #virginmedia #connectivity

  • dan_brooke Dan Brooke (@dan_brooke) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia had reached a new level of incompetence in terms of customer ‘service’. 2 months since signed up and still not installed with multiple last minute ***** ups... 🙄

  • jayp171 jayesh Patel (@jayp171) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia is there a problem with WiFi in the Maidenhead area?

  • halpo Pat Halpin (@halpo) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @virginmedia My issue is my account has been cancelled without 30 days notice as agreed and you agreed that my account would run until the day before the new account was switched on #sortitout

  • jonathansnorman Jonathan Norman (@jonathansnorman) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia I had an important online meeting at 7.30 this morning, no internet. Same problem last Thursday. Been and NTL & Virgin customer since forever but it feels like it is time to change

  • jayp171 jayesh Patel (@jayp171) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia is there a problem in the Maidenhead area?

  • BobBeveridge1 Bob Beveridge (@BobBeveridge1) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Yes I have explained all this before. Is there any point? My recent issue was with the pathetic final letter, now combined with the fact that your system is so poor you know nothing about this. Totally poor customer experience.

  • HaiderAlRekabi Haider Al-Rekabi (@HaiderAlRekabi) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia and any chance someone replying to my message via app? I waiting for 50 minutes now. I have broadband down since 18:00 RG2.

  • timmorgan Tim Morgan (@timmorgan) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia what's the best department to get My Virgin Media support? I am a customer and it won't let me register an account using my email address although my bill is sent to the same email.

  • JulianHull Julian Hull (@JulianHull) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia what’s happened to our internet?? I’m in GU14 trying to work from home. The last 2 weeks we’ve either had no internet or very very slow. Ran speed checks, used to be over 100, now it’s mostly around 6-15 and we are paying for 100

  • MaxwellPerris Maxwell Perris (@MaxwellPerris) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia That you don't have enough staff to meet customer demand, apparently you don't have a complaints team and a £20 credit should solve all our problems. We never had this issue when we were with @SkyBroadband

  • LisaMarieHeenan Lisa-Marie Cuthbertson (@LisaMarieHeenan) reported from Reading, England

    Hi @virginmedia can you please check service RG31 as all services are down, the online check confirms the status is down but only option is book an engineer for Tuesday, does that mean I can expect no TV or Internet until then?

  • safdar Safdar Mustafa (@safdar) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia No I’ve heard nothing back till now I’m afraid and still get issues. Can you help?

  • fleetsaints Steve Jones (@fleetsaints) reported from Fleet, England

    @virginmedia Yes. Turned it off. Unplugged everything & put it all back in and still we get intermittent issues.

  • safdar Safdar Mustafa (@safdar) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Please can you help me to terminate my contract and service with you since it’s unbearable and unprofessional when I’m having work meetings to constantly get disconnected? It’s impossible to speak to a Virgin support human too so I’m left with no choice. Please help me on this.

  • deanphillips257 Dean Phillips (@deanphillips257) reported

    @DanJwwfc @virginmedia Had the same problem for 6 months with them mate ran out of patience moved to sky virgins customer care is shocking

  • Phi11Bailey Philip Bailey (@Phi11Bailey) reported

    @virginmedia Why are all your phone lines engaged? Con Men are calling me claiming to be you and there is no way of contacting you either by phone or chat. Very Bad Customer Service.

  • CraigBuckUK Craig Buck (@CraigBuckUK) reported

    Are @virginmedia having a laugh by putting up their prices. I'm not getting the service I am paying for due to their awful superhub routers. To top it off, their phone line is engaged. Would be interested to know how a 4.5% increase is justified.

  • amrits1ngh amrit singh (@amrits1ngh) reported

    @virginmedia trying calling 150 from my virgin moblie number not working whats going on @fault @virginmedia

  • Jenkins_Rhi Rhiannon Jenkins (@Jenkins_Rhi) reported

    @virginmedia I've tried all of this. Apparently there is no outage in our area but the TV and internet are not working properly for us or our neighbours since last week

  • valleyboy1978 chris davies (@valleyboy1978) reported

    @dadof3but1st4me @virginmedia All their lines seem down??????

  • includenull includenull 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@includenull) reported

    @virginmedia Still down, well over 48 hours later. But we won't see any compensation from Virgin since they fraudulently marked the issue as fixed and immediately opened a new one so they can claim its not the same outage and they can claim don't have to pay compensation.

  • SamHorn76095891 Sam Horne (@SamHorn76095891) reported

    @virginmedia I cannot get through to your customer services team - 150 is permanently engaged and the external 0345 454 1111 number just goes to what sounds like a dead disconnected line. Please advise.

  • AndyDFurness Andrew Furness (@AndyDFurness) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve posted on the forum and one of the moderators has said he’s aware of other people with issues in my location but unfortunately Virgin haven’t picked up on this. No further forward. #poorservice

  • 1LDKing Liam King (@1LDKing) reported

    @virginmedia I've lost count of how many times my Internet drops out. No information on your website about work or issues with the network. Takes 45 mins to an hour for it to re connect. Not good enough.
