    @virginmedia I can't sign in as I no longer hold an account, your CS don't care and obviously fobbing me off and not raising complaints as requested, I will just pursue via FCA and/or trading standards.

    @virginmedia - Internet seems to have gone down in RG41, and your status page isn’t working. Can you confirm / when will it be back? Thx

    @virginmedia truly awful company stuck in the dark ages why would you trust them with broadband when after 3 months notice to quit they take full payment and then you have to apply for a refund !!! Company run by dinosaurs looking for opportunities to rip you off when leaving !

    @virginmedia Promised date someone to sort external connections come and gone and still same s*****. Can’t believe 4 weeks and nobody can’t fix it. 🤔I think something is fishy @virginmedia get it sorted

  • Rochdale_Cowboy
    Craig (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia @elise_john85 So you're whacking up Elsie's cost because you have more customers (who are presumably also paying you) using the service, and you want to use Elsie extra £4.50 / month so you can invest in services that attract even more customers?!? Get in the bin!

    We have issue with #HGVdrivers but why @virginmedia broadband had issues for the last few days in RG6 area. Pretty bad service. @Ofcom

    @virginmedia I upgraded to the Ultimate Oomph package in Jan but still waiting for the order to be completed. I’ve contacted customer services on numerous times but no success, I’ve also raised a complaint. How do I actually get some help to complete the order?

    Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia Internet keeps disconnecting. Called, useless as always. Intermittent issues or connectivity issues. Just send an engineer to check, why wait for another 24h when this is an ongoing issue. I've even reset the hub, still same issues.

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

    If anyone is interested in how much @virginmedia are overcharging for their dreadful service, I’ve just been offered a price match on cancellation to move to a different supplier. £27.50/month for a service for which they originally increased price to £105/month

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia They once set me a virgin box that we had never asked for. Then a year later they tried to charge me for it when I closed the account. Never paid (gave it to a friend).

  • Edeaulx
    Adrian Weale (@Edeaulx) reported

    I spent a desultory hour earlier, glued to a 'web-chat' with a bot, and then a human, as I sought to cancel my @virginmedia broadband service. It wasn't unhelpful, though it shouldn't have taken so long but it isn't over. @virginmedia's T&Cs specify 30 days notice... 1/

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia Having a similar issue. They deadlocked my complaint and now want £362. CISAS not particularly helpful, directing me back to virgin to get evidence

    Abbey (@Barbiknow) reported

    @virginmedia In the kitchen it’s very bad, bad in the bathroom, worse upstairs and it’s very frustrating. I just upgraded to a faster bandwidth but I haven’t seen a single difference except for that I am paying more money.

    @virginmedia do you offer refunds or compensation for drop outs in service? No internet again in Leyland. WFH plans out the window today!
