    Not happy with Virgin Media at the moment. No WiFi since Saturday. Tried calling and got nowhere as the call centre is closed. Don't need this during self isolation. Does anyone else have this problem. Not good enough Virgin Media.

    @virginmedia Have tried 3 more times to get through with the same outcome. Paying a lot of money for no service and no customer service!

    @virginmedia seriously the worst customer service, signed up for broadband this morning, just cancelled it now 👎🏼

  • Just_Conway Conway (@Just_Conway) reported

    10 months of telling Virgin Media that I had a faulty box and no resolution. 2 days after cancelling my contract calling me to offer me a new deal to keep me.

  • Bazlar1 barry connell (@Bazlar1) reported

    @virginmedia if your business was a local one you would have been shut ages ago because your service is unbelievably bad! 2 days I’ve tried to close my account because I’m moving and I can’t get hold of you!! Is there some password we should know.

  • craigdooley Craig Dooley (@craigdooley) reported

    @virginmedia I'm having many! The upgraded Hub 4 you supplied with my new package isn't supported by your diagnostics, your website support doesn't mention it, and it isn't compatible with your app or my mesh routers. On top of that, the speed of my wifi is 30-40% of expected.

  • _EmmaNelson_ Emma Nelson (@_EmmaNelson_) reported

    So that EE and @virginmedia that I’ve had to cancel broadband with. Virgin media on day one. Anyone know of any decent broadband providers ?!

  • Orko77 Jenny (@Orko77) reported from Manchester, England

    Hi @virginmedia, I rang 150 to say I wanted to leave. The person I spoke to instead offered me deals which I turned down. Then we finished the call. Have I left or would I have gone through a different process first?

  • UKTechnologist Samantha Rutter (@UKTechnologist) reported

    @virginmedia Just tried to support my elderly Aunt in reducing her package and I am shocked at your response #protectpensioners

  • Haloabletec Iggy Patel (@Haloabletec) reported
