  • RitchWaghorn Ritch Waghorn (@RitchWaghorn) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Was waiting over an hour on Saturday to speak with your customer services regarding an issue with my TV service. After which I was cut off . I tried again on Monday and was able to resolve the issue

  • naston23 Neil Aston (@naston23) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @virginmedia But they don’t cancel when I ring up so why would I waste my time doing that. I’m not spending another hour on the phone to achieve nothing again.

  • adimarlow Adrienne (@adimarlow) reported from Camberley, England

    Switched to @virginmedia broadband in Nov ‘20 and agreed to pay more per month than I was paying before just to get reliable broadband. Now I find myself never using the Wi-Fi at home and the kids having to use my phone data to complete school lessons and work as it is SO BAD 😡

  • pmross Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Oh... no, it’s down again. Nope, it’s back. Oh... and again, no BB. Wait, back on. Hurrah. Oh, no, back, nope, gone... There’s something seriously wrong with your service. Dead for 36 hours, back and now intermittent... in the middle of the night too! Who can fix this?

  • LordConnaught John Mitchell (@LordConnaught) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia day three of sitting listening to your hold music unable to speak to anyone. My Tivo has gone pop. Any chance you can help please?

  • BobBeveridge1 Bob Beveridge (@BobBeveridge1) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Very poor service today - internet cut out at least three times, during separate on-line meetings -once at 9.50, once late morning, once mid afternoon. What was going wrong ? RG4 Area31

  • pmross Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Hi, yep. It’s been poor for over 4 days and non-existent for nearly 36 hours. Yes, I’ve checked BB status, it’s supposedly OK, yes I’ve rebooted, yes I’ve factory reset, multiple times. Still no BB. Still have to go to office, no choice unfortunately. No BB = Big health risk🙁

  • naston23 Neil Aston (@naston23) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @virginmedia I’ve called twice now to cancel and was very specific the 2nd saying, and then sent me a £5 voucher. So why would I waste my time calling them a 3rd time? Everyone I’ve spoken to has been useless and unhelpful 755136803 Here’s my account number, can you cancel it please

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

    @virginmedia I just want to cancel my contract. You are not a reliable company. You can’t even bother to speak with the customers that pay you.

  • naston23 Neil Aston (@naston23) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @virginmedia Nope. No one has contacted me again, which is pretty much what I expected. If you want to come and do the outside work and fit the cables you’re more than welcome to. But my Sky broadband is being installed Wednesday so and I’ve tried to cancel my contract 3 times now so I’m done

  • LordConnaught John Mitchell (@LordConnaught) reported from Reading, England

    Day 4 of trying to get hold of @virginmedia technical support. Quite incredibly I just got a phone call from their marketing team trying to offer me deals. I said I didn't want any deals, I just want my Tivo box replaced as its broken. The woman hung up on me. Disgraceful.

  • naston23 Neil Aston (@naston23) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @virginmedia Why has it been so difficult to cancel. When I ring up your helpline why does the person who answer have no idea what they’re doing?!

  • KirstyMac712 Kirsty MacDiarmid (@KirstyMac712) reported from Fleet, England

    Hi @virginmedia really hard to work from home when the wifi keeps cutting out. We’ve not had a connection since 10.30 last night. Please help.

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

    @virginmedia You apologize??? Really??? In the middle of a pandemic , I am a key worker and had to work from home today band I have missed all the meetings. I wish I could cancel my contract and had nothing to do with Virgin ever again!

  • naston23 Neil Aston (@naston23) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @virginmedia I’ve phoned up twice to cancel and you sent me a £5 off voucher so that clearly hadn’t worked. No one has responded to my message either so that’s not looking great either

  • pmross Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    Dear @VirginMedia, are there problems in the GU14 area? Because the reliability of broadband here has been appalling since at least Thursday/Friday. You really need to sort it out, I have to WFH and my daughter needs to connect with her school.

  • naston23 Neil Aston (@naston23) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @virginmedia Yes and I’m still in a queue waiting for a response. I really don’t understand how this is so difficult. I just want to cancel my contact for a service you’ve lied to me be about being able to supply.

  • neildrandall Neil Randall (@neildrandall) reported from Blackwater, England

    @virginmedia so frustrating...hub keeps resetting, i call for help and it tells me to reset the hub and hangs up.Why can someone not actually be available to speak when there is a problem.Hub is dropping internet 3-4 times every day this week-can someone please fix this!

  • mattrobertsCFC Matt Roberts (@mattrobertsCFC) reported from Wokingham, England

  • ReverseGirraffe ReverseGiraffe 💙 ☢️ 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 (@ReverseGirraffe) reported

    @virginmedia Great. No TV No internet And you've increased my bill by 13.8% as a final insult. Delivering poor service and profiteering off the back of it. This is Britain in 2023.

    @virginmedia Hopefully you will be proactive in compensating for this instead of your usual shocking service, but let's see...

  • AndrewS01250914 Andrew Scott (@AndrewS01250914) reported

    @virginmedia Yup. My Internet connection has been next to useless since 5pm. Wasn't bothered about the overnight outage, but this is getting beyond a joke now.

  • AyhanHat78 Ayhan (@AyhanHat78) reported

    @virginmedia Its down again.

  • haasty_kawa haasty kawa (@haasty_kawa) reported from Derby, England

    @virginmedia I'm not at all satisfied. Since last night until now, my internet has been down. When I attempted to contact customer service, it flatly refused. I attempted to access the page, but it is still blocking me. I am self-employed. The region DE248ET is shown here. Fix it asap

  • Stevemillerpafc Steve Miller (@Stevemillerpafc) reported

    @BlondieJanner @virginmedia Don’t pay anymore, ring them up tell them your leaving, They soon bring the price down
