    @virginmedia is there an outage in Woking? No WiFi at all for 2 hours so far. 😫😫🤬

  • 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?

  • 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

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

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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • TheBadgerG Thom Gibbons (@TheBadgerG) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Yes, zero issues in area for broadband, pulled apart and reset the router numerous times. It just keeps wanting to download new settings, works for a bit and then fails. Engineer now booked for next Wednesday which is an eternity running my business from home.

  • 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.

  • DimiD35089880 DimiD (@DimiD35089880) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia Promised date someone to sort external connections come and gone and still same s*****. Can’t believe 4 weeks and nobody can’t fix it. 🤔I think something is fishy @virginmedia get it sorted

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

    @GiganetUK @virginmedia 13:25. Down again…

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

    @virginmedia service down in GU14?

  • 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

  • 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

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

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

  • 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 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!

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • VaeVicto Alex ༺🦋༻ (@VaeVicto) reported

    @virginmedia The Consumer Rights Act 2015 dictates services must be provided with reasonable care&skill. In my opinion you are not currently using reasonable care or skill when providing this service.I would like you to fix the problem or least answer when I ring for over 1hr

  • folicacid I (@folicacid) reported

    @virginmedia Not really. Every other company would narrow it down, and surely shift patterns aren't allocated on the morning. It also is really not helpful to customers with disabilities, as they may need extra time to get ready etc. If this is how disorganised you are, tempted to cancel

  • ChristianJBull Christian James Bull (@ChristianJBull) reported

    @virginmedia I've been speaking to several people today since 13:30 this afternoon. Thats over 6 hours. Not 1 person has listened to word I have said. I have been called the wrong name, twice. Your customer support is horrendous. I'll be cancelling in the morning

  • Fred_Mullin FM (@Fred_Mullin) reported

    @virginmedia She’d need help AC and is 15ml away. I might be able to get over tomorrow again but have a commitment for much of day. Naturally, at each of the calls I’ve had, all further escalated, she’s provided authority. Can you send me the link by any chance so I can help her tomoz?

  • dch1992 Dale Hovell (@dch1992) reported

    @virginmedia How do you deal with your customer service agents lying to push an upgrade through? Literally just been told I can increase my speed on my 1 month rolling contract, confirmed multiple times only to be sent an 18 month contract through... absolute joke, honestly.

  • diskin182 ben Diskin (@diskin182) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve done it. Says having problem connecting to the hub

  • TimMcElligott4 Tim McElligott (@TimMcElligott4) reported

    @virginmedia I think there should be a law against only being able to cancel a contract by making a phone call. Anything you can do @MartinSLewis ? I'm being messed around by Virgin currently. Having to hold to speak to someone having gone through all the "options" to start 30 days notice

  • ChristineDeboo Christine Deboo (@ChristineDeboo) reported

    Hi, it's Virgin Media. We've put your service visit on hold while we investigate a network problem affecting your services. We'll update you when this is fixed. I have had intermittent internet for weeks, finally agreed to send an engineer out only to be cancelled

  • fp4d 4dy P (@fp4d) reported

    @virginmedia hey have you guys got a customer service account. Tried calling and online with no luck! Thanks. @VirginMedia_TV @VMSolutions_

  • katepatch Kate Patch (@katepatch) reported

    @Ozwxm2 @virginmedia Yes checked service status no broadband issues in our area! Attempted the what’s app chat tok and after 5 attempts gave up! I have rebooted the hub multiple times a day, I have uninstalled all devices and re connected
