  • RitchWaghorn Ritch Waghorn (@RitchWaghorn) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Was waiting over an hour on Saturday to speak with your customer services regarding an issue with my TV service. After which I was cut off . I tried again on Monday and was able to resolve the issue

  • naston23 Neil Aston (@naston23) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @virginmedia But they don’t cancel when I ring up so why would I waste my time doing that. I’m not spending another hour on the phone to achieve nothing again.

  • neildrandall Neil Randall (@neildrandall) reported from Blackwater, England

    @virginmedia so frustrating...hub keeps resetting, i call for help and it tells me to reset the hub and hangs up.Why can someone not actually be available to speak when there is a problem.Hub is dropping internet 3-4 times every day this week-can someone please fix this!

  • 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

  • KirstyMac712 Kirsty MacDiarmid (@KirstyMac712) reported from Fleet, England

    Hi @virginmedia really hard to work from home when the wifi keeps cutting out. We’ve not had a connection since 10.30 last night. Please help.

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

    Dear @VirginMedia, are there problems in the GU14 area? Because the reliability of broadband here has been appalling since at least Thursday/Friday. You really need to sort it out, I have to WFH and my daughter needs to connect with her school.

  • inmilla68 Inmita Medina (@inmilla68) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia You apologize??? Really??? In the middle of a pandemic , I am a key worker and had to work from home today band I have missed all the meetings. I wish I could cancel my contract and had nothing to do with Virgin ever again!

  • inmilla68 Inmita Medina (@inmilla68) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia Yes. We have been without internet in the area since yesterday and sit nice yesterday you are saying you will get it fix in the next 4 hours. Just now, another text that we’ll have to wait till 8 o’clock. This a joke, honestly 😡

  • naston23 Neil Aston (@naston23) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @virginmedia Yes and I’m still in a queue waiting for a response. I really don’t understand how this is so difficult. I just want to cancel my contact for a service you’ve lied to me be about being able to supply.

  • 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.

  • naston23 Neil Aston (@naston23) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @virginmedia Nope. No one has contacted me again, which is pretty much what I expected. If you want to come and do the outside work and fit the cables you’re more than welcome to. But my Sky broadband is being installed Wednesday so and I’ve tried to cancel my contract 3 times now so I’m done

  • 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.

  • naston23 Neil Aston (@naston23) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @virginmedia I’ve called twice now to cancel and was very specific the 2nd saying, and then sent me a £5 voucher. So why would I waste my time calling them a 3rd time? Everyone I’ve spoken to has been useless and unhelpful 755136803 Here’s my account number, can you cancel it please

  • inmilla68 Inmita Medina (@inmilla68) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia Great! In the middle of a worldwide pandemic and the service is down since this morning in Didcot. With so many people working from home and you let everyone down. I am waiting to finish my contract with you and bye-bye. You won’t see me ever again !!!

  • naston23 Neil Aston (@naston23) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @virginmedia Why has it been so difficult to cancel. When I ring up your helpline why does the person who answer have no idea what they’re doing?!

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

    @virginmedia Hi, yep. It’s been poor for over 4 days and non-existent for nearly 36 hours. Yes, I’ve checked BB status, it’s supposedly OK, yes I’ve rebooted, yes I’ve factory reset, multiple times. Still no BB. Still have to go to office, no choice unfortunately. No BB = Big health risk🙁

  • inmilla68 Inmita Medina (@inmilla68) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia I just want to cancel my contract. You are not a reliable company. You can’t even bother to speak with the customers that pay you.

  • ITINTERACT2 Rob Turnbull (@ITINTERACT2) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia @ChesnoidGaming Virgin , impossible to call with issues but instant reply on Twitter

  • Chelikibum Chelsea Pryor (@Chelikibum) reported

    @virginmedia No it would appear I'm not, but my other half who is with EE has it and considering you share the same network you'd think I'd be able to get it?

  • JonNield3 Jon Nield (@JonNield3) reported

    @virginmedia How come you charge so much more to your loyal customers? Absolute joke. You dont even hide the fact you are penalising them, customer service is a disgrace.

  • SharonMC68 KrazyKiwi (@SharonMC68) reported

    @virginmedia Yes we have done that already but pointless if we have no connection... when we have connection signal strength is great

  • lovekeeley_ Keeley (@lovekeeley_) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. Yes the wire has frayed and broken. I just can’t seem to find where to order a new one

  • RiaBlackmore Ria (@RiaBlackmore) reported

    @msb1302 @virginmedia For a company that used to be leading on wifi standards they’re now appalling. My signal is awful all the time

  • psidgwick sidge (@psidgwick) reported

    @virginmedia Ran through the same bloody checks &took the s/n of both boxes for the millionth time. Can’t do out. A manager will ring us by the end of the day. 1hr phone call again & got off the phone with them about 15mins ago. Engineer called Mike came out & checked all ok. Account problem

  • HannahDuBeBo Hannah Beattie (@HannahDuBeBo) reported

    @virginmedia They either reboot or tell me to. I’ve got a booster as it’s been terrible service since I moved in in October 2020, I’ve know increased the broadband package at a cost and still terrible. My daughter works from home for a government department and has missed important meetings!

  • ChesnoidGaming Chris Wood (@ChesnoidGaming) reported

    @virginmedia I'm on the MS500 package. The speed test with 500 down and 15 up is on a wired connection to my PC. Wirelessly on my phone i'm getting great speeds in the same room as the router, but 15-20 feet away in the kitchen i'm getting less than 20 down.

  • HannahDuBeBo Hannah Beattie (@HannahDuBeBo) reported

    @virginmedia Is this your standard reply to a tweet? I’ve checked, I’m always checking, I’m always rebooting and spending hours on the phone to people that say they are sorting the issue and don’t! @virginmedia are actually causing my family a lot of stress!
