    @virginmedia I'm expecting a replacement set top box to replace a broken tivo. Told it will be delivered Weds. but I've had no confirmation email and not showing in my virgin app. Can anyone help

  • danbon1973 Daniel Bonilla (@danbon1973) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia how do I check my virgin status if the status page doesn't work? Is there an outage in GU21 area?

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

    @virginmedia @VirginMedia_TV trying to get through to your customer services for explanation of bill. #losingthewilltolive

  • ABennell4709 Alex Bennell (@ABennell4709) reported from Twyford, England

    @virginmedia broadband issues in RG10? Please could you look into ASAP? I have no connectivity at all. Thanks

  • 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.

  • ChavdogEvans Daniel Evans (@ChavdogEvans) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia my wifi seem to keep dropping out is there issues with it at the moment

  • pears0 gonzo (@pears0) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia We are sorry you are still waiting to be connected to one of the team. Our wait times are very high at the moment due to an unprecedented demand to speak to the team & we are experiencing some issues with our internal systems. This may mean a delay in being transferred to one of

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

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

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

    @virginmedia Broadband down in OX11 area.

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

    @virginmedia And yes I called to your outage number, apparently there is no known issue in the area. Even though last night at 11.30pm in the app the status check showed every service is down, even though they weren't down last night. This happens only during working hours.

  • 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

  • AronGunningham Aron Gunningham (@AronGunningham) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia RG6 no service

  • reddobowen ☁️ Chris Reddington (@reddobowen) reported from Winnersh, England

    @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

  • pears0 gonzo (@pears0) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia so, I've been trying for over 3 hours now to cancel my contract and absolutely no progress made so far!!! 3 hours. Surely this is a breach of ofcoms rules to make cancellation a reasonably quick and easy process!?

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

    @virginmedia @LudaLukeUK That webpage isn't working. Presumably because your network is down!

  • FfrTweets FFR Tweets💥🚀 (@FfrTweets) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia really difficult to get connected with an agent and some decent support, been trying to reach for days, just get Bots! @richardbranson

  • 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!

  • barrowboy78 ⚒ JOHN TURNER ⚒ (@barrowboy78) reported from Reading, England

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • tjpembo Tim Pemberton 💙 (@tjpembo) reported

    @virginmedia Surely “continuously re-invest in our network. Doing so permits more people to enjoy our services” means that you take over inflation price increases from loyal customers and then these new customers = new revenue stream, so you win while loyal customers pay again and again.

  • richwitney Rich Witney (@richwitney) reported

    @virginmedia Have tried to phone, email and even your web chat is closed! Wanted to discuss my options but looks like I will have to cancel my direct debit if you have no one to deal with me.

  • JamesSh95731810 James Shaw (@JamesSh95731810) reported

    Do NOT get any services from @virginmedia unless you like being fobbed off by their complaints team, ignored by your DEDICATED account manager and charged for services they where meant to cancel previous months before.

  • paul_damien Paul Damien 👯‍♂️🌈(He/Him/It) (@paul_damien) reported

    @virginmedia Don't worry though, I tried to complain last time I spoke to you and you basically shut me down. My phone line doesn't even work (its been reported 3 times) - I'd love to drop the phone from my package, but it costs me more.

  • PolleyC88 Caroline P (@PolleyC88) reported

    @virginmedia Hi there. I rang up this morning and was told someone in a technical role would call back. I've got no issues in area showing using that link, but others have shared ones they have found online themselves. Someone else was told they are updating 5g in the area. However, I can't

  • TheRayneOfEden Tommy R (@TheRayneOfEden) reported

    @virginmedia Hi there, had a letter about the new price rises and being able to cancel my package without incurring cancellation fees. The phone number just says it's busy and disconnects though, how else can I cancel?

  • Nicola_Rh_Evans Nicola Evans (@Nicola_Rh_Evans) reported

    Hi @virginmedia I’m trying to cancel my services with you but I can’t get through. I’m stuck on hold for an hour before being cut off. Called 4 times now! Can you please explain how I can get in touch?

  • BernardLockwoo2 Bernard Lockwood (@BernardLockwoo2) reported

    @virginmedia I've tried ringing up to cancel my TV subscription was on the line yesterday for 45 minutes , then the line went dead any help would be greatly appreciated, cheers

  • Moth_AKCC Aaron (@Moth_AKCC) reported

    @virginmedia BS14 8SX. Its been an issue for ages yet nobody gets sent out to fix it and it's been years.

  • mattj_uk Matt Johnson (@mattj_uk) reported

    @virginmedia 6pm, but basically a whole day with doubtless many houses with people trying to work from home, this isn't great. Particularly after two months of SNR issues.
