    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?

  • AlisonJaneWilso

    @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 !

  • pmross
    Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Yep. Wired isn’t working either. I have no broadband, no WiFi, no service. Been like this since Saturday and intermittent since Jan/Feb.

  • hoarp001
    Peter ***** (@hoarp001) reported from Fleet, England

    @virginmedia my broadband is running at 10mbps (supposed to be 200). The app has done a "scan" and it says there is a network error and check back in 24 hours. Problem is, it's still slow three days later and there appears to be no more help on offer. Now what?

  • pmross
    Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    ‘ere, @VirginMedia, it’s been a full month now of totally unreliable service at my house; 5 engineers later, with the last call to 0345 454 111 on Friday saying you KNOW there’s a problem and it WILL be fixed in 24 hours. I called bullshit. I was right. Sort this out!!!

  • RNeacsu
    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.

    Trying to cancel our Virgin Broadband what a nightmare. On hold for 90 mins still no one answers from the cancellation department. #virginmedia @virginmedia

    Another day of bad experience with @virginmedia broadband service in RG6 area. Buffering on streaming service, no video calls possible on Skype and WhatsApp. Seriously thinking of switching to @bt_uk

    @virginmedia why since Monday is so bad signal in Reading West ? I’m not able to work !

    @virginmedia I don't know. You never answer the phone when I call you.

    @virginmedia I have posted but not sure how a forum post will help. Can you advise of your official escalation complaint process

  • vserafino19
    Vito Serafino (@vserafino19) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia @tandcbroking Either a lot of people are checking the service status on the website or that site also not working. Cheers

  • pmross
    Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    @Firesnapper999 @virginmedia It’s really frustrating; the third technician was brilliant, replaced everything almost like a new install and it worked great for just over a week. Now the status site says everything is good whilst a call to support says it isn’t. #Grrr

  • pepetideo
    CrankyGeek (@pepetideo) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia Followed. procedure to switch broadband providers from virgin to Vodafone. Eng. Comes installs my service. Start paying Vodafone. 15 days later. Bill from virgin like nothing has changed Cal them... They say they didn't know I was moving. Say that I should not worry... They will fix it. 1.month after another full bill from virgin. 90.min on a call later they finaly agree they have ****** up and will return the money taken from me... In 45 DAYS!!!!!!! ABSOLUTELY infuriating that they can get away with this fuckery and abuse of their customers.

  • kqbrain
    Khurram Qayam (@kqbrain) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia let me down once again with their pathetic service. First the broadband was extremely slow all day and now the Hub is gone. No emergency appointment and I have to wait for a week for a technician visit. @Ofcom

    Mike Biscoe (@MikeBiscoe1) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia *sigh*. Been directed to this many times. Had engineers referred many times. This is a persistent issue that raises its ugly head far too frequently

    @virginmedia are there currently problems in the Bristol area?

  • _SonOfTheDesert
    Kaiser Soothsays (@_SonOfTheDesert) reported

    @virginmedia No. Because it’ll end up as a hard reset and we’ll lose all our recorded stuff. When are you going to bring out a box that saves content to the cloud? That way, there’d be no issue.

    Glenn Matthew (@gmkfyi) reported

    @virginmedia @O2 I can only assume the reason I’m getting an IDF-12B error is because I’m now using a Sky connection rather than a Virgin one. Same computer, no VPN… Trying to get into my O2 account btw… which support line do I contact?
