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

    @virginmedia time now 11:14pm and certain channels still aren’t working, things said they have recorded when they haven’t, search function also still not working code c133. I think a refund is due to a lot of customers 👎🏻👎🏻#virginmediadown

  • MrChips2000 MrChips (@MrChips2000) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I would like to cancel my recent broadband order. I found a better deal.

  • 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 🤬

  • coxychris chris cox (@coxychris) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia why are no one answering your lines all I wanna do is cancel my package

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

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

  • bultifish Nick Bultitude (@bultifish) reported from Gravesend, England

    Hmm, #Skyglass is looking like a decent option if this #virginmedia outage becomes a habit.

  • wonky1961 Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @Mattallwright 2 years on since I have been having trouble with Virgin Media (fingers crossed) they may have now get an uninterrupted supply after charging me late payments more than double my Media prices whilst as a Vulnerable Person they were awful

  • pinknblue Helen Dickens (pinknblue):) (@pinknblue) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia hello Merry Christmas. If any one is there today so you know 8f the e mails are down as from early this morning it keeps asking me to put in mu password and then not recognising it but won't let me re set either and I can't send or receive any e mails :(

  • VenusEnvi VenusEnvi (@VenusEnvi) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia what’s the point of asking me to text when I’m ready to set up the new hub if your going to deactivate the old one before I’m ready!! Good job I have unlimited data on my mobile network!!

  • tylorlee30 Andy Kane (@tylorlee30) reported

    @OliviaMarie_x @virginmedia Support can be useless most times you know,thanks to @leadtechh my account was fixed

  • KFenbyHulse Dr Kieran Fenby-Hulse (@KFenbyHulse) reported

    Excellent customer service from @virginmedia as usual - two calls where the agent deliberately drops the call because they don't want / can't be bothered to help.

  • gigmates Marc Ellis (@gigmates) reported

    @virginmedia How do you know they are working to resolve this issue? It seems wider than just a local area and have you spoken to the engineers - I doubt that very much.

  • RinaNova10 Rina Nova (@RinaNova10) reported

    @virginmedia Wifi out since noon today in the BS34 area, called customer service and said its maintenance but no emails were sent. Whats going on?

  • janeoddy Jane Oddy (@janeoddy) reported

    @virginmedia hello you have been sent notification that I’m moving to Sky later this month. Can you confirm when my last bill will be issued so I can arrange to cancel my DD

  • bubbles1girl m (@bubbles1girl) reported

    @virginmedia I have been sent pods, I have been told to restart, many times, an engineer came added something, he said it needed a network technician, as it was probably a problem outside either at somebodies home or the box causing intermittent outage. They won’t send a network technician?!

  • KnowSharma Prafull Sharma (@KnowSharma) reported

    Big round of applause to @virginmedia for worst customer experience.

  • BlueberriesRok Léonie #GirlySwot 🔶 🇺🇦 (@BlueberriesRok) reported

    @carolinesgreen @virginmedia ... have to break the news to work as I worked from home. Awkward. 10 mins later a van would appear at the Virgin box opposite my house. It's not an isolated problem and only my house, it's the whole damn town. 20 mins later I'd have to call work, again, as it's back up. 2wks...

  • hartshorne5 Nathan87 (@hartshorne5) reported

    @virginmedia I understand that! but asking me to pay twice the price of a new customer is not looking after existing customers. Cancelling and moving to sky. Thanks for being so helpful.

  • ClaireWickham Claire Wickham (@ClaireWickham) reported

    @virginmedia Sorry but this doesn't make sense. The credit was for the first time you left me without email for a month. I was promised the credit but still charged. Now I have the same problem AGAIN and, as before, a stream of broken promises.
