-
Bowlesy (@Chateauneuf64) reported from Wokingham, England@virginmedia OK guys, could you ask your team behind the scenes to turn my BB signal up just a tad, you know, enough so it actually works? As your putting your prices up would be great to experience what I'm actually paying for now! Thanks
-
Khurram Qayam (@kqbrain) reported from Reading, EnglandWe have issue with #HGVdrivers but why @virginmedia broadband had issues for the last few days in RG6 area. Pretty bad service. @Ofcom

Julian Hull (@JulianHull) reported from Farnborough, England@virginmedia having problems with internet in GU14. Will this be resolved soon
-
Phil Stacey (@PhilStace20) reported from Maidenhead, England@virginmedia It’s more about how this can’t be dealt with online and spending a busy day trying to get to talk with someone who actually can help. #Disgraceful #expectedthis
-
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
-
Craig (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Maidenhead, England@virginmedia @elise_john85 So you're whacking up Elsie's cost because you have more customers (who are presumably also paying you) using the service, and you want to use Elsie extra £4.50 / month so you can invest in services that attract even more customers?!? Get in the bin!
-
Philip Furlong (@PhilipFurlong2) reported from Wokingham, England@virginmedia They say it's company policy and as it's with IT they can no longer help! 1 week and no further forward.
-
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.
-
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

Vito Serafino (@vserafino19) reported from Farnborough, England@virginmedia @tandcbroking Either a lot of people are checking the service status on the website or that site also not working. Cheers
-
Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England@virginmedia Thanks. Engineer showed up, plugged in a new Hub 3, “fixed” my BB & WiFi and, 3 hours later, it’s still not working. Can I 1) file a complaint and 2) get a guarantee that this will be fixed for once and for all.
-
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
-

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

So on the ‘phone once again for around an hour and been passed over and back and STILL no outcome a d still holding. Just waiting for the line to go dead as previous.

-
Carol Rothwell (@CarolRothy) reported from Wokingham, England@virginmedia hello. Please could you advise how on earth I get in touch with someone by phone??. I’ve spent 15 mins navigating website to try and get to a person rather than a bot. I need to report an equipment fault which isn’t service specific
-
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
-
DimiD (@DimiD35089880) reported from Camberley, England@virginmedia We have engineer booked for today to see what is the issue as since I upgraded never had such a bad service experience for the last 12 years with @virginmedia
-
Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported from Didcot, England@virginmedia Internet keeps disconnecting. Called, useless as always. Intermittent issues or connectivity issues. Just send an engineer to check, why wait for another 24h when this is an ongoing issue. I've even reset the hub, still same issues.

Rupert Leyland (@RupertLeyland) reported@virginmedia - I’ve been without internet for over a week now. I’m on your priority list as I have a disabled child here - and have been with you since you were NTL Telewest (1996 - 30 years). Makes no difference. Every attempt to fix my problem is unsuccessful. I’m in despair.

Stewart Neilson ⚒ 🇬🇧 (@HaveringHammer) reportedI’ve just been given Netflix ( I know I’m late to getting it ) by VirginMedia. The first show I’ve started watching is Breaking Bad ( I know I’m late to watching that too ) My question is should I stick with it as I’m 3 shows in and not sure what all the fuss was about yet?

Ricky Butcher (@rickybutcher_) reported@virginmedia 5 mins left in the match & forced to sit through 3x 20/30 second ads for Real Madrid Vs Bayern Munich. I promise you, whatever pennies you're gleaning from people tuning in late they are wildly offset by those who'll swear never to give you another penny otherwise.
