Carol Rothwell (@CarolRothy) reported from Wokingham, England@virginmedia hello. Please could you advise how on earth I get in touch with someone by phone??.

Khurram Qayam (@kqbrain) reported from Reading, EnglandAnother day of bad experience with @virginmedia broadband service in RG6 area. Buffering on streaming service, no video calls possible on Skype and WhatsApp. Seriously thinking of switching to @bt_uk
-
iszi (@iszi_lawrence) reported from Reading, England@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.

Deborah Jessup (@Debbiejojessup) reported from Woodley, EnglandTrying to cancel our Virgin Broadband what a nightmare. On hold for 90 mins still no one answers from the cancellation department. #virginmedia @virginmedia
-
Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England@virginmedia Thanks. Done that. Multiple times. And over the last 6 months. And when I was an ntl: customer. And CableTel before that. 27 years of 56k > 350Mb and now it’s totally doing my head in. Unable to work from home properly. Boss won’t be happy!
-
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!?
-
Tom (@Tom38971529) reported from Wokingham, England@virginmedia Well I would speak to a member of the team but always get the call cut short and I ask for a call back if the line goes dead. Twice yesterday ot happend Nd never got a phone call back
-
GoldyMcGoldface (@Goldy73) reported from Farnborough, England@virginmedia The fact you have even done it without telling anyone is a shocking customer service move,especially in this day and age where a lot of people are working from home. Absolutely disgusting service I don't care how long it will take, I need to know of you plan to take it down so
-
Mike Biscoe (@MikeBiscoe1) reported from Reading, EnglandIf 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
-

Elle 🌸🗽 (@hellosunshine52) reported@MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK I’m so sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine how hard all this is. For your info with regard to your issue - virgin media have just been fined £28m for preventing people ending their contracts. Perhaps talks to the culture internally that you are describing

LGWLGWLGW (@lgwlgwlgw) reported@virginmedia Done this multiple times. Engineers have confirmed there are regular intermittent network outages in my local area which cause broadband to drop out for up to 10 mins at a time. Not good. Also no priority for anyone at Virgin Media to fix the issue any time soon

The Loneliness (@Loumandrights) reportedWhy does @virginmedia suck so bad? I'm so sick of this network.
