  • robmcewan1966 Rob McEwan (@robmcewan1966) reported from Finchampstead, England

    @virginmedia Truly astounding. I have spent hours trying to get virgin to actually carry out promises made and we’re still not there. I’ll swear the customer services reps I speak to are under so much pressure to move on to the next call they make it up as they go.

  • CM40UK CM40 (@CM40UK) reported from Blackwater, England

    @MoneySavingExp How about they just deliver consistent service? I am leaving Virginmedia and they are making it hard, there rules state if I don’t get the speeds promised they I can leave without penalties, I’ve had 7 times where I have connection in the last 3 days! @virginmedia @richardbranson

  • CM40UK CM40 (@CM40UK) reported from Blackwater, England

    @virginmedia No resolution has been offered by @virginmedia hence I have no cancelled my contract.

  • K74Marti Marti Jerrard - K74 (@K74Marti) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia I have followed every instruction as advised. Turned off, set, check status and even network issue in area.. it just keeps dropping out daily with no know issues. It’s as if faster broadband has actually slowed it all down! Pse sort it out

  • TheBadgerG Thom Gibbons (@TheBadgerG) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Yes, zero issues in area for broadband, pulled apart and reset the router numerous times. It just keeps wanting to download new settings, works for a bit and then fails. Engineer now booked for next Wednesday which is an eternity running my business from home.

  • TimSBourne Tim Bourne (@TimSBourne) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia I'm sick of explaining this again & again - see previous tweets & msgs to VM. It isn't even noted - yesterday 2nd line support looked at my ticket & said I'm "not receiving any emails" NO NO NO! Just emails with etickets attached, even tho get non ticket emails from same sources

  • fayeharland faye harland (@fayeharland) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Hi again. Just letting you know we’ve made contact with him and all seems fine. So please can we cancel the engineer for Friday.

  • Geordiesbird Alyson Leitch (@Geordiesbird) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia is there an outage in Woking? No WiFi at all for 2 hours so far. 😫😫🤬

  • CM40UK CM40 (@CM40UK) reported from Blackwater, England

    @virginmedia Sadly I am not, as I have never any compensation for the lost of my connection, I lost Wi-Fi for about hour yesterday but as normal virgin media are not up holding its guarantee. I an@self-employed and the one thing I rely on is my internet connection.

  • DimiD35089880 DimiD (@DimiD35089880) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia can’t even set up hub properly. 3 weeks since I upgraded my speed and I receive still the same but they keep insisting (we made changes will approve by tomorrow) REALLY!!! Is technical support think we are so stupid. Get a grip @virginmedia next stop complaints

  • CM40UK CM40 (@CM40UK) reported from Blackwater, England

    @virginmedia My cancellation date is already set 11th Nov 2022, as I have to give 30 days notice. You lost my business yesterday after one of your CS decided to try and change my package to make it cheaper thinking that would sort problem, he wasn’t listening to complaint!

  • MikeBiscoe1 Mike Biscoe (@MikeBiscoe1) reported from Reading, England

    @GiganetUK @virginmedia 13:25. Down again…

  • K74Marti Marti Jerrard - K74 (@K74Marti) reported from Farnborough, England

    Everyday this week and again today @virginmedia has stopped working… constant resets and in some cases down for 3-4 hrs at a time which is preventing work, training, education & entertainment! Come on #Virgin sort your reliability out pse

  • andburd Andrew Burdett (@andburd) reported from Maidenhead, England

    Hi @virginmedia, I’ve spent more than an hour on the phone to your advisors this morning and am getting nowhere. I have therefore now decided I would like to cancel my contract (I am within cooling-off period). Would I still be considered a ‘new’ customer if I find a new deal?

    @virginmedia not to be done. So I asked to speak to a manger who said he would try then said no one would be willing to take the call. Sorry, your managers don't want to take call? That's poor service

  • Paul_Wingfield Paul Wingfield (@Paul_Wingfield) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I need to leave Virgin media because my bill has gone up by over 50%. I can't do it on the phone because you're not answering and your website doesn't have an option to close my account. Your live online help isn't answering either. What should I do?

  • mrcsbehan Ciarán Ó Beacháin (@mrcsbehan) reported

    @btsportufc How can we join you in Ireland. Cant use your app its geo blocked and can't purchase the event unless you have sky or virgin media. Very poor planning in the BT office

  • pimoroni pimoroni (@pimoroni) reported

    @TheFlyingKipper @virginmedia Yes, that's definitely damaged. We test every single unit after assembly so it must have happened in transit. I'm really sorry about that. :-( The support team will arrange a replacement for you!

  • BabingtonMaxPow Mike Wainwright (@BabingtonMaxPow) reported

    @virginmedia @courtez99x Just tried texting the number given but reply says it’s unable to help with technical and Wi-Fi.., little help

  • tomhillsafc Tom (@tomhillsafc) reported

    One for the #techytwitter has anyone on @virginmedia fibre put in their own wifi router? Virgin hub in modem mode. Asus router can’t get DHCP from Virgin 🤔. Been a while since I’ve had to troubleshoot a network ..

  • Pilongalatere Big E (@Pilongalatere) reported

    @virginmedia your service is shocking i have been without a landline for 2 months and the Internet is shocking!

  • coryannes Cory ‘SAVE THE ARTS’ Shipp (@coryannes) reported

    Anyone using #VirginMedia who are subject to a price hike in March. You can leave with NO CANCELLATION CHARGES. Leave that abysmal broadband and customer service behind - thank me later. 🥳
