    Anyone else really struggling with slow speeds over the last 10 days with @virginmedia. It's been spot on for 2 years now and then 10 days it seems something has happened. Lucky to get over 10Mb now 🙈

    @virginmedia Hi VM, I ordered a replacement remote control for my TIVO box. Just realised that was a couple of months ago but it never came. When trying online again it says as I’ve had one within six months I can’t order another. Please check that the first was ever sent, thanks

    @Shayan86 @virginmedia It’s a disgrace - my husband works in tv too. You 100% cannot rely on VM. I am definitely changing. My bill started off at £35 and is now £45 as we had to buy boosters. Worst service ever. Skybroadband non-fibre was better than this.

    @virginmedia we done that, all connections are in to the box, your company network thinks that we are connected via router this not so, but has a cable run into the house.

    Any @virginmedia customers out there who’ve been landed a price increase - just ring them on 03454541111 and the automated service immediately offers you a £4.50 pm discount for 6 months = £27 of savings. Bit of a weird way of doing business but obvs hope many just suck it up. 👍

    @virginmedia hi I have 2 WiFi boosters that I’ve never used and would like to return them but can’t face hanging on for hours to speak to someone on your helpline. Is there an address you can give me?

  • AViTSCJ
    Scott Jackson (@AViTSCJ) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia why is it when you request cancellation of service via phone and getting cut off mid call , then sending and email and also trying to chase via web chat which I also sent my request for cancellation and then move out two months later . They keep the account open 🤬

  • tmacbond
    Tmak (@tmacbond) reported from Wickford, England

    @Ofcom @virginmedia How on earth can you on a simple change over of service that your representative said or was an easy job & you still 5months later still being billed & endless promises not kept now it’s calls eating into family time & not end in sight!! Help

  • MrsDyer25
    Laura Dyer (@MrsDyer25) reported from Great Baddow, England

    @virginmedia So what can be done to improve the technical issues we are having? Could it be our equipment?

  • NicklessColin
    Colin Nickless (@NicklessColin) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia broadband down again in Southend. Had to pay for a BT WiFi day pass so my wife can continue working from home.

  • KeeleyOF101
    Keeley O'Flaherty (@KeeleyOF101) reported from Thundersley, England

    @virginmedia you came to my mums house to fix cable. You’ve left having disconnected her phone line and sent it to a neighbour house who is now being rude. Been on hold hour on phone. Both in poor health phone Essential

  • TheSugg
    David Sugg (@TheSugg) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia morning, your text service seems to have stopped talking to me and we’ve spent another week with no service. Who can I speak to?

  • GoonerGrizzly
    grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported from Thundersley, England

    @virginmedia I have spoken to your CS team about raising a complaint and have been told that the complaints procedure is for existing customers. As I am yet to go live, I am not considered a customer and therefore have no where to go.

  • Cod49ers
    Marc Tobin (@Cod49ers) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia A thousand times. On a chat all day yesterday and was promised someone would call me, no one did. To say this is the worst customer experience I have ever had would be an understatement.

  • c1ormy
    Claire - with a capital C (@c1ormy) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia since outage in DA12 yesterday i have no services. Apparently on fault check status there’s no fault. Any advice? #virginmediadown #noservices

  • LiisaJane
    LiisaJane'x (@LiisaJane) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia @nickgooner80 I wanna know why my broadband has been all day! I do not want to be paying for a service I cannot use!!!!!! 🤬🤬 I have a bored 6 year old. SORT IT OUT!!! And I can’t check my service status as I can’t access the internet even on my 4G or the virgin media app.

  • J4Y_DEE
    Justin 🇺🇦 (@J4Y_DEE) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia @VMHelpDesk Broadband down in my area, this is frustrating. Reckon it’ll be fixed by 9. No tv & Broadband during the school holidays

  • briggsym
    matt (@briggsym) reported from Wickford, England

    @virginmedia broadband speeds are awful - who should I go with @SkyUK or @BTGroup

  • GoonerGrizzly
    grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported from Thundersley, England

    @virginmedia This seems to be the standard message coming from Virgin Media. “Computer says no”. If you can’t see the issue with this then you (Virgin Media) are the problem. I’m inclined to contact the ombudsman as you have sold me a service which you blatantly cannot provide or install.

  • johnperreira
    john perreira (@johnperreira) reported from Basildon, England

    @simon_perreira @virginmedia Go with @NOWTV bruv.. never had a major problem with their service and you get a few tv channels thrown in as well.. when ever there has been a outside problem it been sorted in days.. oh and it def be 💯 cheaper than @virginmedia #Cowboys

    @virginmedia and here we are today. Radio silence from your exec team no deadlock and letter plus further incompetence with my complaint. Sending me the same response back does not magically solve the issue.

  • GBunchofnumbers
    Genie Bunchofnumbers (@GBunchofnumbers) reported

    @PeteUK7 @CrnchyMama @virginmedia Still trying to fix something very similar. Every GD text and phone call is like a knife in your heart.

  • noel33330

    @JamieGBarry @virginmedia Never understand why companies do this … same goes for insurance companies.

  • realmisterwilks
    Dale Wilkins (@realmisterwilks) reported

    @virginmedia is there an issue in Ng16 area? If it rains, no internet, if it’s sunny, no internet. Happens every year.

  • itstrisha_innit
    F’real (@itstrisha_innit) reported

    @JamieGBarry @virginmedia Call them and threaten to leave. The Retention/Sales Team will cut you a deal. But don’t get sucked into taking the VM movie bundle - the movies they offer are crap.

  • KeithClarke1
    Bern 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@KeithClarke1) reported

    @JamieGBarry @virginmedia I managed to negotiate a pretty good deal with Virgin. Not quite a new customer deal but pretty good.

  • SJA505
    SJA505 (@SJA505) reported

    @virginmedia @PeteUK7 3months to update an auto send template. Media savvy VM at the cutting edge of tech and customer service.

  • fig2k4
    DerekL0576 (@fig2k4) reported

    @JamieGBarry @virginmedia Or put a new contract in your partner's name and cancel yours. Done that before, they don't care.

  • vickiferris
    Vicky Leigh (@vickiferris) reported

    @virginmedia First question - have you checked the cables. Explained a factory reset didn't solve my problem. Still telling me to turn it off again. Considering this whole issue started 13/6 and this was the solution to that problem, they have just sent me another faulty box.

  • mikey_mol
    Mikey Molfessis (@mikey_mol) reported

    @virginmedia Have done this. Have unplugged for 5 minutes and still bad. It is as bad as it was on Monday
