  • 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

  • mattrose18 Matt Rose (@mattrose18) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia TV is an issue. broadband is not. Tests are always either cannot connect at this time or say there is nothing wrong. Don’t see how my kit in the house can one minute have speeds on +300Mb to next to nothing?

  • nattytude Nattytude (@nattytude) reported from Fleet, England

    @virginmedia Internet is down in GU51 since yesterday. When will it be up? Can't report it online, because we have no internet for it to check with!

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

    @MoneySavingExp How about they just deliver consistent service? I am leaving Virginmedia and they are making it hard, there rules state if I don’t get the speeds promised they I can leave without penalties, I’ve had 7 times where I have connection in the last 3 days! @virginmedia @richardbranson

  • inmilla68 Inmita La **** Peora de Offo (@inmilla68) reported from Didcot, England

    @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.

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

    @virginmedia I am sorry but twice in 45 mins they cut me off as they did not know how to resolve the issue / easy way out

  • dano_afc Dan O'Sullivan (@dano_afc) reported from Frimley, England

    @virginmedia what is going on with your customer service today????? Completely unreachable either on phone, online chat or your abysmal whatsapp service!!! Talk to your customers!!!!!!!

  • HamiltonNashHR Jim Moore (@HamiltonNashHR) reported from Winnersh, England

    So @virginmedia is down again, and their 4G backup dongle has failed to take over AGAIN. In fact, it has never once failed over to 4G in any of the outages we’ve ever had. Why am I paying for this? 😡

  • CRJG_ Cameron🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@CRJG_) reported from Bracknell, England

    Huge congrats to @virginmedia for having a web chat service that is so bad that I joined the chat to upgrade my broadband, but after waiting for an eternity for replies I’m pretty much ready to just close my account

  • mattrose18 Matt Rose (@mattrose18) reported from Camberley, England

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

  • Chateauneuf64 Bowlesy (@Chateauneuf64) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia OK guys, could you ask your team behind the scenes to turn my BB signal up just a tad, you know, enough so it actually works? As your putting your prices up would be great to experience what I'm actually paying for now! Thanks

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

    @virginmedia No resolution has been offered by @virginmedia hence I have no cancelled my contract.

  • 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!

  • 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?

  • woodyturts Alex Turton (@woodyturts) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia service down in GU14?

  • BeckyMorrish13 Becky Morrish (@BeckyMorrish13) reported from Camberley, England

    Useless service from @virginmedia called 2 discuss package options on hold for ages the agent says he was trying to help them puts me on hold then put the phone down. If their customer service is like that I think I’ll try give someone else a go @skytv can you do better?

  • CM40UK 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.

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

    @virginmedia You keep cutting me off when I call ! / just email the complaint number to a member of your UK team and ask them to call me, really not that hard

  • leaver_sharon Sharon Leaver (@leaver_sharon) reported from Bracknell, England

    @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

  • GregoryJardella Gregory Jardella (@GregoryJardella) reported

    @virginmedia Can I ask that this be escalated to a manager as I have attempted all of these support solutions before and I am upset at the fact that I am paying a lot of money for a faulty service from yourselves.

  • BaddPreacher BadPreacher🖕🏼🇨🇦➡️🇬🇧🇪🇺 (@BaddPreacher) reported

    @virginmedia Done that too. Thanks for trying to help but I won’t be wasting any more of my time with Virgin.

  • ThingsByNik Nik (@ThingsByNik) reported

    @virginmedia Why can’t I email someone my account number, details, and say I want to cancel. That’s all I want to do. It’s a 30 second phone call or email, but it’s being made difficult. I wanted to give my 30 days notice yesterday, that’s dragged to today, and will now drag into tomorrow.

  • ClaudBurkinshaw Claud Burkinshaw (@ClaudBurkinshaw) reported

    @fluffykit_uk @virginmedia Virgin are rubbish! I have 300meg line and never get over 50meg in any device... definitely going to sky.

  • fluffykit_uk Heather (@fluffykit_uk) reported

    @virginmedia Mega problems keeping an active wi-fi signal today in Harlow. Missed the goal in the cup match because I had to reboot the router and now it's patchy connection. Up and down like a yoyo.

  • tahiri79 Tahir Ismail (@tahiri79) reported

    @virginmedia Really bad practice. With other suppliers, if you move home, it breaks the contract with no fee to pay. You aren’t able to offer the service but we still have to pay you? And such an extortionate amount? Appalling during such tough economic times.

  • ThingsByNik Nik (@ThingsByNik) reported

    @nookandwillow @virginmedia They are awful to get hold of, unless of course you are willing to upgrade which then they answer straight away. I am paying 2x as much for my services than new customers, even though I have been with them for about 15yrs. They don’t care about deals for loyalty.

  • Zenith_UK Zenith (@Zenith_UK) reported

    @virginmedia Hi! I stream full time on @Twitch & unfortunately there is an SNR error in my area currently. This has caused me to drop over 25% of my frames when I live stream, which is affecting my ability to go live. I've been told the issue will continue until the 8th of Feb.

  • nookandwillow clare wilson (@nookandwillow) reported from Prescot, England

    @ThingsByNik @virginmedia Oh no, I’ve just signed up for their BB as our Sky one is awful and it’s the fastest available, I keep hearing not the greatest things about them though 🙈

  • KhanShaziah Shatzy (@KhanShaziah) reported

    @virginmedia The Engineers have not shown up 3 times despite us being told they were treating this as a priority incident. Promised call from Team Manager within 2 hours. Nothing. An engineer was scheduled for a visit on Saturday 29 January – but did not show up.
