    @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.

  • 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!

  • RNeacsu
    Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported from Didcot, England

  • arintsie
    A Rintsie (@arintsie) reported from Marlow Bottom, England

    @virginmedia Phone call received this afternoon from your service centre but not about the complaint / when I asked about it they cut me off / email received from Resolution Team this afternoon telling me to ring your service line and have not read the complaint / total joke C-180123113

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

    Another day of pathetic experience on @virginmedia broadband service. No broadband service in RG6 area. Regretting my decision to switch. @Ofcom @DowndetectorUK

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

    Took out an @O2 account as part of some 'volt' deal with @virginmedia. My god O2 are bad. Apparently you have to wait a few months to access your account online to wait until their systems "catch up" for new joiners. Shouldn't have bothered.

  • 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.

  • vikingmarta89
    Marta (@vikingmarta89) reported from Reading, England

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

  • 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?

  • a3racer
    Chris C (@a3racer) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia is there a fix time for the Virgin TV issue in the GU21 area? It’s been down now for over 24 hours! Will my account be credited with money that I have paid for no service?

  • barrowboy78

    Anybody having problems with @virginmedia in the Reading area ……..?

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

    @virginmedia Yes I have on multiple occasions, I have just been taking to engineer who running the 30 day test, while taking to him I had 3 lost connection issues. Your employees are trying say that I will have to pay to leave my contract, @Ofcom state, I can leave without penalty

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

    @virginmedia Nope. There’s “nothing wrong” with the broadband according to the status page. Never is. It’s always the hub supposedly downloading updates. 10 weeks of this now, getting a bit bored of the lack of service TBH. This needs to be escalated.

  • EmsAlice
    Ems (@EmsAlice) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia We just purchased a film from the media store and it won’t play - just is stuck at 0 minutes 😡 we’ve restarted our box but always have problems like this with catch up especially… not ideal when we’ve paid money to rent a film! Can you help at all?

    @virginmedia It happens almost every evening from around 8pm to 9.30pm. It is also quite poor on a Sunday afternoon for a number of hours.

  • TechnoJesus420
    Techno Jesus (@TechnoJesus420) reported

    @virginmedia please change the on hold music for uk callers, it's so awful I had to end my 30 min call before resolution. The long call and language barrier are bad enough, that crap jazz hold music is just too much.

  • ThanyiaMoore
    🇯🇲🇬🇧 (@ThanyiaMoore) reported

    @virginmedia shocking... WiFi just drops off when it feels like it. No notice, nothing. Can you fix up please, we pay too much 😩

  • Christhefish86
    Chris (@Christhefish86) reported

    @virginmedia why is your website the clunkiest most user unfriendly website going? Trying to pay my bill and I just keep going in a loop with it, guarantee if I don't pay it though you restrict my service. Honestly 124 days until my contract runs out and I cannot wait.

  • JonAshman2
    Jon Ashman (@JonAshman2) reported

    @virginmedia I’m paying £176.00 per month for your services so quite frankly an apology isn’t good enough I’ll contact yourselves later regarding my contract the service you now offer is woeful

  • fielden85
    fielden85 (@fielden85) reported

    @virginmedia are becoming a joke... 3rd time in a month the internet has gone down.

  • kcranebda
    Keivin Crane (@kcranebda) reported

    @virginmedia being called out! A word of advice. Do NOT use their one switch system. This system is NOT one switch. They promise you get to keep things like your old number. That’s a lie. Poor customer service. They don’t keep their promises. They should run for PM of the UK!

  • HewanMcCarthy
    Hewan (@HewanMcCarthy) reported

    @virginmedia Link doesn’t show an outage, just spoke to one of your employees on the phone who said there is an outage in my area that doesn’t show up. Says everything
