    CM40 (@CM40UK) reported from Blackwater, England

    @virginmedia Sadly I am not, as I have never any compensation for the lost of my connection, I lost Wi-Fi for about hour yesterday but as normal virgin media are not up holding its guarantee. I an@self-employed and the one thing I rely on is my internet connection.

    Everyday this week and again today @virginmedia has stopped working… constant resets and in some cases down for 3-4 hrs at a time which is preventing work, training, education & entertainment! Come on #Virgin sort your reliability out pse

    @virginmedia Sorted now. Received an envelope last week with an adaptor. A leaflet inside stated we would receive an email when to change it. No such email received. Communication very poor

    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.

    @virginmedia internet is down in RG30 (router is white but no internet). Checked on mobile I’m not the only one experiencing problems in the area.

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

    @virginmedia Thanks. Engineer showed up, plugged in a new Hub 3, “fixed” my BB & WiFi and, 3 hours later, it’s still not working. Can I 1) file a complaint and 2) get a guarantee that this will be fixed for once and for all.

    @virginmedia Internet is not working properly in my pc and your virgin app does not work either. It has been like that since last night.

    @virginmedia Wired and yes. Seems to have stabilised for the time being. Hopefully no more issues

    So @virginmedia once more we have an outage, how many times now in the last 3 months? NOT GOOD ENOUGH!! Currently looking at switching supplier

  • 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?

  • 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

  • DawnFabbricatti
    Dawn Fabbricatti🇿🇦🇮🇹 (@DawnFabbricatti) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia You LITERALLY cannot be serious right now? Is this how you believe my issue will be solved? And yes, in the last 19 days I have rebooted twice.

  • Debbiejojessup
    Deborah Jessup (@Debbiejojessup) reported from Woodley, England

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

  • TimSBourne
    Tim Bourne (@TimSBourne) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia I'm sick of explaining this again & again - see previous tweets & msgs to VM. It isn't even noted - yesterday 2nd line support looked at my ticket & said I'm "not receiving any emails" NO NO NO! Just emails with etickets attached, even tho get non ticket emails from same sources

  • BagshotTwit
    Paul Austin (@BagshotTwit) reported from Camberley, England

    @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?

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

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

  • reddobowen

    @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

  • McFadden1985

    @virginmedia Hi , my broadband contract with you is finishing today and I will be changing to another supplier. My DD payment is on the 26th of the month , am I ok to cancel my DD to you now ?

  • CLAAccess
    Claire Wright (@CLAAccess) reported

    @O2 & @virginmedia making it as difficult as possible to settle the final bill on an account I have cancelled. App doesn't give me the option to pay. Calls go straight through to their Indian call centre. Absolutely appalling service from the worst phone company in the universe!

  • waughzone
    Duncan Waugh (@waughzone) reported

    @virginmedia Your customer service is a disgrace. I have had intermittent broadband for 4 weeks but you make it almost impossible to get it fixed. I finally managed to connect to a human on a chat who was next to useless and then sent me an email to say everything was resolved.

    @AnglezarkeNet @DHLGlobal A post here is worth a try. I managed to get Virgin Media of their arses and fix the problem I had. It was useless trying to call them.

    Archie Cook (@monty99_) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, I am stuck in a web chat loop. My Hub has been provisioned on a DS-Lite IPv6 profile on the network side, disabling my Modem Mode and port forwarding. Web chat keeps telling me to do a pinhole reset, which will not fix a network profile issue. Can an agent
