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

    @virginmedia I signed up to your service & order a sim only deal. I’ve been trying to order another one but can’t log in to my account. Keeps saying there has been a problem and try later. This is my first ever experience with Virgin. I can’t log in nor can I place my order #firstimpressions

  • katesj1983 Kate (@katesj1983) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Already done that and run tests nothing..and it’s still a mess. My wired connections are also going super slow as well as WiFi

  • StJamesofFleet James Snyder (@StJamesofFleet) reported from Fleet, England

    @virginmedia been on hold for 25 on a second call. The first disconnected. Problems with BB for three days and now the hub doesn’t even power on after an apparent update!

  • donnataylor7 Donna Webster (@donnataylor7) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia I didn’t receive my new contract on April, was not told of 6 month discount price shot up and I had to fight to get my billing date changed. Overall not a good service 😡. Took me over 30 mins on telephone to try and resolve

  • katesj1983 Kate (@katesj1983) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia It appears to be both..as both my WiFi and wired connections are being slow compared to usual

  • ginaatinknight gina knight (@ginaatinknight) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia not think much if the service from virgin media so far not great for new customers

  • perrycoke Kezza 🙃 (@perrycoke) reported from Hurst, England

    @virginmedia I managed to get through to customer services in the end & now have an engineer booked for 2moro between 7am & 12pm. Going to cost me half a days work now.

  • perrycoke Kezza 🙃 (@perrycoke) reported from Twyford, England

    @virginmedia twice I’ve been on hold to customer service for 25mins only to get cut off. My broadband & TiVo hasn’t been working since 4pm. I’ve tried restarting the hub many times, checked the connections as well. I work from home & this is not what I need right now.

  • kyle2tweet kyle2tweet (@kyle2tweet) reported from Bracknell, England

    @JackSheaFFC @virginmedia I know so if I’m waiting for a call back then OBVIOUSLY I’ve already raised a complaint 🤣 no common sense with this company!

  • roballan07 Rob Allan (@roballan07) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia Yes when talking about the quality of customer service I have received from @virginmedia in the past week.

  • dionne_angus Dionne Angus (@dionne_angus) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia how do I cancel my contract with you. My broadband is constantly going down and for the price I pay your services are not worth it especially as i am on limited money. So I am looking at going to sky thank you

  • CorneliusEvans Chris Evans (@CorneliusEvans) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia Netflix is not working with our broadband service you might want to looking in to this as all other streaming service work fine. P.s I’m VM service tech 😉

  • safdar Safdar Mustafa (@safdar) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia No known issues according to the tests but when I call your support they always say otherwise. I clearly have issues.

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

    @virginmedia Is this related to this breach. If not that’s even worse and just says the service is really bad

  • catch_cancer Catch Me If You Cancer (@catch_cancer) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia good afternoon. I've been on hold for 3 hours and been cut off twice. I'm a vulnerable customer and need to speak to someone

  • kyle2tweet kyle2tweet (@kyle2tweet) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia looks like I’ll have to cancel my direct debit coming out next month maybe that will get this call back I’ve been promised. Terrible terrible company!

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

    @sabrakhan @virginmedia Mine used to be fast but got very slow a couple of weeks ago

  • safdar Safdar Mustafa (@safdar) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Followed all you suggested actions, and still no joy. Also have a complaint open COM103973949, someone should have got in touch within 24h. 2 days and still nothing.

  • donnataylor7 Donna Webster (@donnataylor7) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia I have resolved it now but I’m tired of having to fight to get a good service. I had to threaten to report it to Watchdog before getting through to someone who could help.

  • Author_JTaylor AuthorJTaylor (@Author_JTaylor) reported

    @virginmedia I pay £137 per month for all your services virgin TV, landline and your Virgin broadband Hub and there is a problem with my WiFi connection from your hub so please enlighten me as to why it’s none virgin equipment?

  • ErskineLesley03 Lesley Erskine (@ErskineLesley03) reported

    @virginmedia I have been trying to cancel a contract with you since Saturday over 200 interactions over SMS and WhatsApp. Just think of the time your customer service and retention teams would save if they just let customers leave. #desperatetoretain #virginmedia

  • Author_JTaylor AuthorJTaylor (@Author_JTaylor) reported

    @virginmedia Have you read the messages? This use to happen before I put the mesh on and it still happens now even if the mesh is not connected which is what I’ve said. I have stated I’ve had to buy a mesh to help with the connection and I can switch between the two. My connection’s a problem

  • SophieMarsden22 Sophie Marsden (@SophieMarsden22) reported

    According to @virginmedia there are currently no problems with the internet in my area. I wonder why all our neighbours also have no internet (and are also with Virgin Media!) 🤔

  • Author_JTaylor AuthorJTaylor (@Author_JTaylor) reported

    @virginmedia I will have to phone tomorrow now as I have to head out. Do I ask for anyone in particular or give a code something so people know what the problem has been or do I have go through everything again?? Good job I’m out of contract now!

  • m4wds1 joe mawdsley (@m4wds1) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I was sold a new package deal @ £63 per month and was told I would be given a sim card free on O2 i asked numerous times is this free as I don't need it i have now been charged by O2 for the sim which I haven't or never will use your sales missold this to me as a blatant lie

  • mstorey2015 Mark S 121115 🇮🇪🏁😷🇺🇦 (@mstorey2015) reported

    @virginmedia At the moment its OK after being down for an hour

  • beatrix_plotter Siobhan Lawper (@beatrix_plotter) reported

    @virginmedia Tried it on three different devices, I can't get a good enough signal on them even with the wifi extender I've got

  • Wun_Hunng_Low WHL (@Wun_Hunng_Low) reported

    @virginmedia i wrote to you two weeks ago giving notice to cancel my services. I have heard nothing back and nothing appears to have been actioned yet. I do not have time to sit on hold for hours and your website says you can cancel in writing. Please respond..

  • ramdoll46 Ram (@ramdoll46) reported

    @virginmedia please advise why it’s not possible why I can not choose what I want in my package instead of being over charged for services I do not need. Shocked poor service on call centre and WhatsApp.
