    @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?

    @leonagraham @virginmedia Yes, the issue is you’re being denied internet access 👍

    @virginmedia Hi, had a call this morning allegedly from you saying my internet service was compromised and malware was being downloaded, then proceeded to ask questions which I refused to answer. Was it you lot?

    @fingers_terry @virginmedia I hope so. I’d hate to have to cancel my subscription.

    Mark Harrison (@maharrison) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia Ok so I need to arrange another visit I won’t be contacted? Can you see how bad this looks? Now I’ll be in London I need to arrange someone to be there to let an engineer in unless there is a smaller window

  • moebius1967
    ron palmer (@moebius1967) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    Had a real problem with Virgin media. Was paying this month's bill when Virgin had a problem as with its auto payment service and the payment couldn't be processed. I then tried again via their website and the payment went through......

    Hey @virginmedia Parents new 360 box not working and engineer not available to come out til the 27th!!!! Not good enough! 😔

  • nigelrumsey

    @virginmedia Your link says it can’t find any issues, there are issues. Can you advise if it’s being investigated? What’s the eta? Thanks.

  • rrrussboy
    Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia You’ve now sent me the same unhelpful link about compensation 3 times. This will only compensate me if I have no service, and as I have a service (albeit 3mbps) this, as I’ve repeated several times, doesn’t help me. Another example of poor customer service

  • goonergeek2000
    Gary Thompson (@goonergeek2000) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia right I’ve just about had enough of virgin customer services. Cancelled service on 10 December. Today find out account is live after logging in. On hold four times for over 45 minutes. Latest on hold for 1hr 19 minutes. Call gets answered then cut off! What the hell

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

    @financialombuds can I get out of my @virginmedia contract with no costs due to their complete failure to provide the service I pay for and refuse to deal with my issues

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

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

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

    @virginmedia how can I complain about internet reliability from your service. It has been appalling and inconsistent and seriously considering moving to another provider.

  • sinozza

    @ThatNickElse @virginmedia Did you get through in the end Nick...I'm having similar problems to you.

  • rob_green86
    Rob Green Jnr (@rob_green86) reported from Thundersley, England

    @westbrookdanni @virginmedia Up to 2 weeks ago I didn't have a bad word to say about them. The pure fact you can't get through to someone is the worst of it. Happy to take your money and trim your internet speeds!

  • keldaaa
    Kelda🥤 (@keldaaa) reported from Canvey Island, England

    @virginmedia I can’t seem to find an email address or postal address for general queries, can you please provide me with one? My nan is now in a care home with dementia and we need to cancel her landline, broadband & mobile on her behalf so need to write to you to give details.

    @virginmedia There are still issues with my TV. The BBC channel 101 is inactive & has a black screen. Why is this still the case? What are you doing to rectify this & how long will it take?

  • Debi0709
    Debi Williamson (@Debi0709) reported

    @virginmedia Getting fed up now had issues with our box this morning

  • CS_Hants
    South Coast Commuter (@CS_Hants) reported

    Well, turns out @skytv are just as useless as @virginmedia. Installed broadband today, forgot to sort out TV and Virgin TV doesnt work with Sky fibre. Now have no telly until they find an install date. Why is this so complicated, why are these firms allowed to be so poor @Ofcom

  • Mike_J_Bradley
    Michael Bradley #FBPE #SocialistSunday (@Mike_J_Bradley) reported

    @virginmedia Mines by down at least 24hrs. Ridiculous and told they are working on it. Not good enough considering how much we pay. I live in Liverpool. It seems to be affecting different areas differently. I just get to welcome on the screen and nothing else. Tried rebooting etc nothing

  • dollynoocat
    Dollynoocat (@dollynoocat) reported

    @virginmedia yes did that yesterday when BBC1 wasn't working. The usual 20 minutes to reconnect and today my internet went down for 6 hours. Superb service (not) 34 years a customer and phoning Sky tomorrow !!

  • COOPSthereitis4
    Chris (@COOPSthereitis4) reported

    @geordiechris48 @virginmedia Yeah I saw that, be ****** if id be paying anything extra. Takes the piss how slow they are to sort stuff too.

  • Dave_Syracuse
    Dave (@Dave_Syracuse) reported

    @VirginMedia you're wifi isn't working again. Your say you'll fix it by the 19th of May but that isn't good enough. I pay you for reliable wifi connection every day. I'm not receiving that. This is a formal complaint and I expect to be reimbursed for my stress and inconvenience.

  • rickh77
    Richard Hopper (@rickh77) reported

    @virginmedia @ITV why is channel 103 ITV1 still not working on virgin media since the outage yesterday?

  • tracy_s1
    tracy_s (@tracy_s1) reported

    @virginmedia Now saying that the estimated fix time is 10.05 tomorrow that means 24 hours without the use of tv service we pay for @virginmedia will we get compensation for this?

  • VespaPX12570
    MOT ALAW (@VespaPX12570) reported

    @virginmedia This is still not working? Its been nearly 12 hours since it went off?
