    @virginmedia this is an absolute joke now, I do not have time to just sit on hold all day. You clearly make it impossible for people to cancel their contracts on purpose

    Jamie Will (@YoungJambo) reported from Poole, England

    @virginmedia I was contacting you about the terrible service. I didn't have internet for a week and had to use up all of my data hotspotting as I work from home. Your disconnection team member "Helen" was rude and argumentative and kept shouting over the top of me. Go and listen to the call.

    Absolutely loath @virginmedia's over priced 360, and like their customer service, it's just rubbish, can't wait for @CityFibre to go online in our area so that I can trash VM, even if I have to take a hit when I cancel as locked into a contract at the mo, it'll be worth it!😡😠

    @JohnnyDude1983 @virginmedia According to virgin, any more than 8 devices (including lightbulbs) and they won’t look in to issues and they would expect it to drop all devices randomly

    @virginmedia guys so you know your customer service is the absolute worst! My router has completely died and your trying to send me an engineer now I have to wait 4 days so can’t work! The internet never works! £56 a month for what?!?!

  • ithastheanswer
    Stuart Jones (@ithastheanswer) reported from Bournemouth, England

    . @virginmedia our internet has been terrible for the last three days, cost a fortune in mobile data because of this, service status says no problem, your own service test fails when we run it! Why are there so many problems in BH7 area over last few months?

  • oncefallenangel
    Emma Louise (@oncefallenangel) reported from Bournemouth, England

    Our virgin media internet is so awful at the moment that I continuously have to turn the WiFi off on my phone. Surely that’s not the point of home WiFi 🙄

  • stevejbeck
    Steve Beck (@stevejbeck) reported from Bournemouth, England

    Oh no! @virginmedia broadband is slow in our area at the moment (BH6). It’s supposed to be 100Mbps but it’s currently 29Mbps. I think there’s maintenance happening on our road right now but can’t see cos it’s behind a tree. Ah well. Looks like I’m gonna have to do some housework!

    @virginmedia no Service since Sunday, no communication, from you guys, absolute joke, I hope you don't think your going to charge us for this service, time for City Fibre I feel.

  • BelvoirCchurch
    Jeremy Clarke (@BelvoirCchurch) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @virginmedia ,is it worth trying to call customer service today, will anyone answer the call or is it more hours on hold before being cut off?

  • gxyred
    Jared (@gxyred) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @virginmedia FYI you guys have done some work in the BH8 area last week and since then our WiFi drops off all the time and is very slow. Pls can it be resolved.

    @stephenm68 @virginmedia That is awful. Virgin media have really done down hill in looking after their customers. All they care about is customer acquisition

  • Scottish_VAR
    Scottish_VAR (@Scottish_VAR) reported

    @heid_the_baw_ @virginmedia I have moved to smarty mobile hub. I pay 20 a month for unlimited data, its a rolling month contract and uses three signal. Its great you can take it away with you to hotels or away on holiday.

  • CalJamesPhoto
    me (@CalJamesPhoto) reported

    @virginmedia please, for the love of god, give me a number here I can speak to a person.. I don’t have my 9 digit account number with me I need tech support, my landline is knackered. Your VA sucks It’s 2026 fgs, getting help should be easier than ever

  • Dmhches
    Dmh (@Dmhches) reported

    @virginmedia the fact that the red button isn’t working for sky sports on your service means you’re not providing the serving I am paying for. Please confirm I am able to exit my contract with no penalties due to this

    Pierce Travers (@piercetravers26) reported

    @celticbars Virgin media 2 in Ireland are showing the game next Tuesday if any1 has a vpn it’ll get round the issue and be free to watch on the virgin media player website

  • johngunn2
    johngunn (@johngunn2) reported

    @virginmedia @CliveR39 The last time I checked a couple of days ago it gave an estimated fix of 28th August. Which considering it’s been at least a week since it went down is a considerable length of time to not receive the service we’re paying for.

  • gmkfyi
    Glenn Matthew (@gmkfyi) reported

    @virginmedia @O2 I can only assume the reason I’m getting an IDF-12B error is because I’m now using a Sky connection rather than a Virgin one. Same computer, no VPN… Trying to get into my O2 account btw… which support line do I contact?
