    I'm having real trouble cancelling my Virgin media account. Cant6v chat them, can't email them now on hold for 10 minutes. Just want to end the contract give 30 days notice. New promotion only for new customers. Wtf?

  • 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!

  • Tiger118118 Thomas Hapgood (@Tiger118118) reported from Basildon, England

    **** you @virginmedia I want my money back please 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

    @bushontheradio Trying to get through to Virgin media to cancel the contract. Bloody chatbot isn't worth a ****

  • JamieMeecham Jamie Meecham🏳️‍🌈♥️ (@JamieMeecham) reported from Canvey Island, England

    @virginmedia Hopefully the confirmation of the rude man losing his job.

  • maharrison Mark Harrison (@maharrison) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia I have continually tried to call, your wait times are really unacceptable, anyway I have also opted for the text service, however no text received. I am losing faith I’ve been waiting since August for some kind of contact from you. Any other options?

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

    @virginmedia hi I’ve received a written response to a complaint from VM but with no way to reply other than the usual customer service number which doesn’t offer an option for this. Can you supply another telephone number or physical address to reply to?

  • jamesrfyoung James Young (@jamesrfyoung) reported from Wickford, England

    @virginmedia your internet has been rubbish recently with varying speeds as low as 5mb 1 minute then 95mb the next! Now it’s gone down completely! On top of not being able to speak with anyone I don’t feel that your service is worth it! #rubbishservice

  • GrandmasterAce1 kali ace (@GrandmasterAce1) reported from Grays, England

    @SunveerC26 @_amansanger_ @virginmedia This is so rude, how do u guys have footage of me waiting for the internet to come back up 👀👀 booky

  • maharrison 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

  • Kimlovett Kim Baker was Lovett (@Kimlovett) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia what’s happened to your customer services? I have stayed with you for years now need your help, can’t log into my account need your help and holding forever on the phone ....

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

    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 🙈

  • MidkentTravel MidKent Travel (@MidkentTravel) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia Can you please private message me, I have a log on issue.

  • 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......

  • hungoverdrawn Robert Shaw (@hungoverdrawn) reported from Wainscott, England

    @virginmedia It's started working this morning after 24 hours down, bit strange that your website said there were no service issues anywhere 😒 I guess I'll cancel that engineer visit now.

  • JamieMeecham Jamie Meecham🏳️‍🌈♥️ (@JamieMeecham) reported from Canvey Island, England

    @virginmedia care to explain why a member of staff felt that hanging up on a customer complaining about their broadband is acceptable? And now I’m stuck on hold AGAIN to solve my issue.

  • 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.

  • GrandmasterAce1 kali ace (@GrandmasterAce1) reported from Grays, England

    Virgin media users any issues 😣?

  • maharrison Mark Harrison (@maharrison) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia Thank you I am going to try again via sales as managed to get through last night but was informed I need to speak to construction and they were closed. Complaint ref was/is C-030920566 Thanks for helping Mark

  • JdfockerAgnew Blue Wingnut (@JdfockerAgnew) reported

    Oh the irony, @virginmedia still down & will b repaired by 10am tomorrow 🤥 So I figured I could use my @O2 data, however it seems every ****** is having 2 do that so the signal is ****

  • louisjsmith7 Louis XXI (@louisjsmith7) reported

    @virginmedia No. It’s still down and I have had to phone up your service to get some clarity on the situation but all I had is the same standard answers.

  • aaronuart R. Aaron (@aaronuart) reported from Merton, England

    @virginmedia I rebooted, called the number, it says there is a known issue in my area and engineers are working on it. Does this take 5 days to fix? I try the status online and it tells me everything is fine but it isn’t. Is there anyone looking at this. I’ve never had an issue last this long

  • aliceredqueen1 Carrie 💙 (@aliceredqueen1) reported

    @virginmedia no Internet since 9.30am yesterday. Now advised it'll 'probably' be back up by tomorrow afternoon. But neighbours have said they've been told it'll be back on Sunday!!! Wish I'd never bothered staying with you and should have gone to BT instead.

  • tootsieiam tootsietweets (@tootsieiam) reported

    @virginmedia I had to cancel previous account because, despite paying for it, you refused to change from ex husbands name. Set up new contract and low and behold, despite setting up 3 weeks ago (with an active complaint still not@dealt with), the equipment was conveniently “delayed” 1/?

  • hxmmydodger hammydodger (@hxmmydodger) reported

    @virginmedia mate its been like a week now bro this better get fixed otherwise you’re losing a loyal customer of nearly 10 years

  • AMBUK1 AMARIE BOON (@AMBUK1) reported

    @virginmedia No idea, your colleagues left me on hold for over an hour, told me they wld remove l8 pmnt chg & to pay bill.I asked 4 b/down of bill & p’mnt allocations to avoid same scenario next month & they said no it can go to deadlock??? Very unhelpful cust services & now none wiser

  • JdfockerAgnew Blue Wingnut (@JdfockerAgnew) reported

    @virginmedia Nothing personal DB but communication has been shocking with the same repetitive txt sent out every few hours, this has been ongoing since Wed evening & is awful. The fact we get compensation of up 2 £8 per day after 2 days without service is laughable 👋👋

  • hadirennie Hadi Rennie (@hadirennie) reported

    @virginmedia clearly you don't want people to contact you by phone. Everytime I call you I have to wait at least 45 min.....unbelievable customer service

  • AshlyMccunnin Ashly Mccunnin (@AshlyMccunnin) reported

    @virginmedia No, nothing is working, tv and broadband both not working at all, third day so far
