  • terrygparrott TGP (@terrygparrott) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Broadband in GU14 is up and down like a "****** draws". I pay for 350 Mbps but am getting much less than that. I've rebooted and reset my Hub 3, please sort it out!

  • OutdoorDaveGB David Bruton (@OutdoorDaveGB) reported from Reading, England

    @PhelanHill @bt_uk @virginmedia If it works it's brilliant but if it doesn't @virginmedia 's Customer Service is woeful in my experience (and @GBRChris_A 's) Currently even with all the people working at home it is good @ 200 Mbps !

  • philip_e_davies Philip E Davies (@philip_e_davies) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Came back on Sunday morning, obvs pleased it was fixed but a 14 hour outage this weekend following a 46 hour outage last weekend, service used to be so good but seems to be very unreliable at the moment

  • samtomkins samtomkins (@samtomkins) reported from Henley-on-Thames, England

    @virginmedia how do I speak to someone about my mobile phone. I haven’t been able to swap my sim as my sim port is broken, so today you have cut me off, despite me still paying bills!!!

  • philip_e_davies Philip E Davies (@philip_e_davies) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Down again! Your service is a shambles at the moment

  • OutdoorDaveGB David Bruton (@OutdoorDaveGB) reported from Reading, England

    @GBRChris_A @virginmedia Not good! Unfortunately my experience of their Customer Service/Technical support when required a couple of years ago was frankly lamentable. Lots of promises absolutely zero action/solutions

  • philip_e_davies Philip E Davies (@philip_e_davies) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia A fuse had tripped out on Friday - literally took engineer a few seconds to fix it

  • terrygparrott TGP (@terrygparrott) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia I'm paying for 350 Mbps and getting less than 100, very poor now. You website says no problems so its telling porkies!

  • Boanz62 Martin S (@Boanz62) reported from Reading, England

    @barrowboy78 @virginmedia Couldn’t stream a film last night as broadband was sooooo slow! It’s rubbish really.

  • Elobeid82Sausan SassyElo (@Elobeid82Sausan) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @virginmedia No interest connection in High Wycombe. Please advise on when the issue will be resolved.

  • boffbowsh Paul Bowsher (@boffbowsh) reported from Wokingham, England

    Virgin Media down again today. Getting increasingly tempted by FTTPoD.

  • bmm1979 Becky (@bmm1979) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia hi, I’m trying to contact you regarding a mobile phone contract I wish to cancel, but can’t get through by phone and the chat function won’t pick up my problem

  • Rochdale_Cowboy Rochdale Cowboy (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia Perhaps try kerpying your internet service 'up' for 26mins. Currently you're up to 17mins past the hour before it fails. Keep practicing.

  • rfc_1871 Marvellous Meite 🇨🇮 (@rfc_1871) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia get your shit together ffs

    @virginmedia why is your internet service so poor.3rd day of the week and already this week I’ve had issues for two days#stayconnected

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

    @virginmedia We need this sorting, as there are 3 of us working from home, involving video meetings. How do we get in touch with you to sort our services out? Our TIVo box is also slow to respond and on-demand isn’t working, due to internet problems. Help. Now. Please.

  • chopper2fit ruthless (@chopper2fit) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia I would never ever recommend your broadband service to anyone !! Constant issues! Came back to you from sky as was promised a much better service !! Guess what it’s worse than ever

  • GrantEvans1992 Grant Evans (@GrantEvans1992) reported

    @virginmedia your customer service is shocking, 2 hours on the phone earlier in the week to sort a new deal, logged a complaint and was told someone would contact me. Received an email yesterday yesterday to say the complaint was closer and internal feedback was given..

  • PaulWButler Paul Butler (@PaulWButler) reported

    @virginmedia Eventually got through but was on the phone for 3 hours and was transferred through 4 agents having to explain the issue every time! Eventually it looks like the situation will be resolved on Monday with a technician visit 🤞Was I frustrated yesterday!

  • BeefyTrev beefy🥩 (@BeefyTrev) reported

    @virginmedia customer help is terrible. Been trying to simply move an installation date and I've been in this call for nearly an hour and been transferred 4 times.

  • tanknet Paul 'Tank' Cassidy (@tanknet) reported

    @virginmedia Calling later to cancel as can get 500mb & xbox ultimate game pass for £45 with BT.... So much for looking after ya loyal customers

  • dperkins84 Daniel (@dperkins84) reported

    @virginmedia It’s terrible, can’t even got wifi when I’m stood next to the box. What’s the crack with cancellation?

  • siralexisared viva ronaldo (@siralexisared) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I'm an existing customer. I don't see why it can't be added on

  • knoxylife Knoxy (@knoxylife) reported

    @virginmedia Ipad. I've tried all that. No issues with other apps. If I change the audio thing from audio 1 to 2 on the app, that sometimes fixes it. But on the whole the app is ****

  • _ASB_007 . (@_ASB_007) reported

    @virginmedia What will happen soon is I will cancel my direct debit and send an email that i have tried to call but failed and to take this email as confirmation of my direct debit cancellation and 1 month notice. If virgin are interested in any renewal to call me instead.

  • nigel03396256 nigel (@nigel03396256) reported

    .@virginmedia the 'construction work' required for my broadband to be installed has been delayed many (5?) times. No-one on your phone lines can help. I've been in an endless cycle from mid-November where no construction work = no installation. *Please* investigate this - DM?

  • stef18881 Stef1888 (@stef18881) reported

    @JoanaValdez @virginmedia Cancel your direct debit so they can’t take any more money.
