    @virginmedia No broadband in GU46 7RR... is this part of the outage as have seen others in the area with issues but your website says no issues reported?

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

    @virginmedia All fine now - but TBH we're probably going to cancel. Our contract is up its going up from £70 to £85/month. To sign a new deal is a £82. Your offer to new customers is £45. I can't be bothered with this hassle every few months so am looking at sky. Thanks for checking though 👍

  • chantelle_ukccf Chantelle Newton (@chantelle_ukccf) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia I have a support query which I have submitted via the Virgin Media app and I have tried calling but I’m getting no where. Can you provide a contact channel that will actually get me the support I need?

  • djmessyxjessy Jessica Boshier (@djmessyxjessy) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia why do you keep hanging up on your help line thatwere on hold for, for 30 minutes a time. Answer and help

  • inmilla68 Inmita Medina (@inmilla68) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia 1hour waiting the first time and disconnected. This is the second time, still on the phone and waiting 55min. It is pretty much the whole day wasted trying to talk to customer services. Can you please help?

  • inmilla68 Inmita Medina (@inmilla68) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia Hi there. Never got my 5 GB SIM card as stated in my contract. Been waiting for over a month and never got it! Impossible to get through customer services to speak to a human...

  • djmessyxjessy Jessica Boshier (@djmessyxjessy) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia why do we keep getting cut off from your help line when you’re saying your going to block my mums phone. Answer!!!!

  • tomasquith93 Tom Asquith (@tomasquith93) reported from Twyford, England

    @virginmedia The only detail I’ve had is as follows and it’s hardly detailed. Please can someone tell me what is the issue and where, with timescales. “Hi, it's Virgin Media here. The installation is kept on hold due to construction issue.”

  • rohaaminho Najm Khan (@rohaaminho) reported from Farnborough, England

    Had the worst internet day ever. Never use Utility Warehouse or whoever own the line around here which is @virginmedia

  • HollySquirrel Kim Marie Pike (@HollySquirrel) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia My husband has been unable to contact anyone at customer service. It seems our router has an intermittent fault. Please advise ASAP. My husband is a key worker (electricity generation), having a stable internet connection, is essential. 2/2

  • kirsten_willis Kirsten Willis BEM (@kirsten_willis) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia what is so difficult about customer service these days? Spent the last 4 days going through the repetitive process of checking out WiFi connection, eventually got a number to call TL get cut off after a 30 min wait! Not impressed!

  • SpaWellbeing Spa Wellbeing (@SpaWellbeing) reported from Wokingham, England

    What’s wrong with Virgin Media? Unable to access my emails for several days now. Virgin say they’re working on it but the problem’s still not sorted. Is anyone else suffering this acute inconvenience?

  • AlistairNCox Al (@AlistairNCox) reported from Crowmarsh Gifford, England

    @virginmedia do you know how much longer the internet will be down in OX10 8 ??

  • tomasquith93 Tom Asquith (@tomasquith93) reported from Twyford, England

    @virginmedia I’ve called, but that provided no help. I was told I’d get a callback from a team closer to the issue in 24 hours - which has since passed. Honestly, not a good start and I’ve not got service yet!

  • TaylaWelch Tayla Welch (@TaylaWelch) reported from Maidenhead, England

    Internet is down... @virginmedia what’s going on 😓

  • aamer74 aamer habib (@aamer74) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia trying to cancel my services as moving house and don’t need it in next place. Tried using the chat on Tuesday and no one replied. Just called and eventually got passed to a department that’s not even open until 9:30, so was hung up on. I just want to cancel 😡

  • ooiwx Michelle Ooi (@ooiwx) reported

    @virginmedia Hi , things were still slow this morning before I left for work. Website still thinks there isn’t any problem with the connection. A few of my neighbours in the area are also having the same issue

  • Helenbl1 Helen Chapman (@Helenbl1) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia I spent 4 hours on a WhatsApp chat yesterday with your complaints line trying to determine whether there is an alternative solution to what is currently being proposed but the person/bot I was speaking to did not even acknowledge the question I was asking

  • maggiejet maggie burns (@maggiejet) reported

    @virginmedia It was not down to being ‘unsuccessful’ following high demand. It was because your app wasn’t working! Apologies don’t cut it.

  • DustyFlapdragon DustyFlapdragon (@DustyFlapdragon) reported

    @virginmedia Not entirely sure what it is you want me to show you. When I go through the process of checking the line it then asks me to login and then tells me that my devices either have interference or poor connection. Then if I continue it tells me to move the router (I can't)

  • PaulFly79706600 Paul Flynn (@PaulFly79706600) reported

    @virginmedia have pressed the options for home move. On call for 30 minutes waiting for answer. Is this normal ? Would be nice if you knew where you are in the queue. Moving to new house and can’t get Virgin in that area. So just need to stop the service into the old home pls.

  • DavidHamill11 David Hamill (@DavidHamill11) reported

    @virginmedia I am watching the man city match at 1230 got friends over for a birthday celebration as long as its fixed by then if not I'll dump the hub etc in bin and cancel contract immediately.

  • sophieholmes_ sophie (@sophieholmes_) reported from Horley, England

    @virginmedia can you confirm what the issue is with wifi in the RH6 area please?

  • jay_j79 Jason D (@jay_j79) reported

    @virginmedia The complaint was about the fact one of your engineers at the time, whilst I was at work, went on my property, disconnected my cables and then left without re connecting, why the complaint? There was nothing wrong with my broadband, no job request nothing.
