  • 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 😡

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • safdar Safdar Mustafa (@safdar) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia My WIFI is unbearable and affects my day of online meetings. I’ve done the usual troubleshooting and have your app too. Calling your support is useless and I can’t get through to a human. What do I need to do to resolve my issues? Message your CEO?

  • 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 !!!

  • AV_Carys Carys Green (@AV_Carys) reported from Reading, England

    Feeling a tad disgruntled with @virginmedia I had to go into office today even though got tonsillitis as no broadband at home 😤 been two days now and trying to get hold of virginmedia impossible! Limited TV service I can live with but need broadband to work!

  • 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 phoned up twice to cancel and you sent me a £5 off voucher so that clearly hadn’t worked. No one has responded to my message either so that’s not looking great either

  • 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.

  • mattrobertsCFC Matt Roberts (@mattrobertsCFC) reported from Wokingham, England

    Poor quality streamed fight on SKY Box office through Virgin Media. Still an issue, been glitchy all night..... disappointed not clear for main event.... Will be complaining and demanding a refund @virginmedia @SkySportsBoxing @SkySports #skyboxoffice #virginmedia #AnthonyJoshua

  • fleetsaints Steve Jones (@fleetsaints) reported from Fleet, England

    Changed from sky broadband to @virginmedia seriously didn’t think it could be worse. How wrong I was. Utterly shocking broadband. Lost count of the number of times on the last 48 hours we’ve lost service.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • safdar Safdar Mustafa (@safdar) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia No I’ve heard nothing back till now I’m afraid and still get issues. Can you help?

  • 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 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?!

  • Lefina94 Tiziana Vinciguerra (@Lefina94) reported

    Getting so tired of trying calling @virginmedia to cancel my account due to their disservice and not being able to have connection. Magically every time they connect me to the cancellation team the line cut off.

  • wjanderson91 Will Anderson (@wjanderson91) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia 6 week delay on installing our internet because you did the external works to the wrong address. Booked well in advance as need the internet for work. Now just getting passed around customer service and getting no responses as to why.

  • wjanderson91 Will Anderson (@wjanderson91) reported

    If this is what we can look forward to as @VirginMedia customers then other providers are available. Please tell us how we contact someone who can actually help.

  • Hanxa13 Hannah (Hanxa) (@Hanxa13) reported

    @virginmedia I let you guys know I'm moving and need to leave. With 15 days left of service, my internet is gone. Tried rebooting the hub. Tried completely resetting the hub. Internet light flashes green then the power light flashes green for 30 seconds each and repeat.

  • tony49 Tony Ryan🇮🇪🇺🇦 (@tony49) reported

    @virginmedia It’s so very difficult to contact VM to resolve issues. I’ve had much publicity about the benefits for subscribers also with 02 available from Volt. I was messaged a month ago to say benefits had been applied. To date, neither our O2 or VM account has had any upgrading. Zip.

  • jonduffie84 Jon Duffield (@jonduffie84) reported

    @virginmedia I plan to speak with someone tonight as I will be contact my back to stop the payment. I'm sure if I don't pay u will be able to talk to me then for a resolution

  • bgr1978 The Grey Man (@bgr1978) reported

    @virginmedia I came off the call leaving the manager with the understanding that I was very unhappy with the service and didn't feel my complaint had been rectified. He stated I should contact the relevant data protection ombudsman.

  • MiniCooperChar1 Mini.Cooper.Charlie (@MiniCooperChar1) reported

    @virginmedia As I was just about to reset, it connected with 5g. I am going to see if that holds or not before I do a reset, and if it fails again I will be in touch with you again. Thanks for your help 👍

  • UTD__Zone The Reliable One (@UTD__Zone) reported

    @virginmedia @KingsOfLeon Fix your internet

  • bgr1978 The Grey Man (@bgr1978) reported

    @virginmedia They couldn't explain why it was cancelled. I've been told now to raise a complaint via the ombudsman for data protection. Seems ridiculous
