    @virginmedia I have no TV but you are not taking calls so how can I sort issue - looks like you changed/cancelled my account!!??

  • richardscovell 🏳️‍🌈 #SociallyDistancingRick 🏳️‍🌈 (@richardscovell) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    Just experienced #unethical behaviour from @virginmedia #coercing a customer, accept £20 and close a complaint or you can take it further and not accept the £20. Failure to be transparent and communicate effectively across all departments about charges #poorcustomerservice

  • Sussexmerlins Nick Weston 🇪🇺 (@Sussexmerlins) reported from Hove, England

    @yorkshirerosie @virginmedia 64mb is ok but if you were getting 150mb then I expect you’d notice it. Good news is. It’s not your issue. It means that theres either a fault on the line, or there’s too many people using it at the same time. It’s called “contention”. Have you called your supplier?

  • theminxyone Tabitha (@theminxyone) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia please confirm you received my text message to cancel my contract with you. Thank you

  • indiointernet Brian Roe (@indiointernet) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia, what happened to the Travel Channel on 289? No warnings, no I go, just gone! It was my favorite channel and it's been scrapped of your network. What's going on?

  • aliceharmanx alice❁ (@aliceharmanx) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia how long is the wait to get through to customer services on the phone?

  • DeccanTiffin PriyaBTN (@DeccanTiffin) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia Is this some kind of joke? Just called this number and got an auto reply saying voice calls are not supported on this number. The WiFi service is awful today by the way.

  • Sussexmerlins Nick Weston 🇪🇺 (@Sussexmerlins) reported from Hove, England

    @yorkshirerosie @virginmedia I think your issue is that you are furthest from the cabinet. Therefore everyone else is getting the capacity first. That said for that big a drop in speed late at night it means that they either reduced the capacity on the line or something further up is using a lot. It could

  • Sussexmerlins Nick Weston 🇪🇺 (@Sussexmerlins) reported from Hove, England

    @yorkshirerosie @virginmedia Agree. Might just be a faulty router. Unless you live in a castle there shouldn’t be a problem in the room next to the router. I’m in the garden and my router is 20m away in the front room.

  • Sussexmerlins Nick Weston 🇪🇺 (@Sussexmerlins) reported from Hove, England

    @yorkshirerosie @virginmedia Be that there are businesses on the same exchange backing up their data. I have a similar issue. Sky guarantee 70mb but I only get 65mb. I’m therefore able to cancel my contract and go to another provider. However. This would depend on who the provider is. Most providers buy

  • christieblythe (◕‿◕✿) (@christieblythe) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia are ******* shite. All I wanna do is cancel my contract 🙃 been on hold for fukin ages. 🤬🤬🤬

  • theminxyone Tabitha (@theminxyone) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia please can you confirm that my text message was received and that my contract will cancel after the end of this billing period? Thanks

  • RGNJonathan Jonathan O'Keeffe (@RGNJonathan) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia How could it be a connection issue? It is fibre optic WiFi? Also the internet has been horrid the last couple of months just haven’t had time to call both my partner and I are front line so never off in the week

  • DrSTun STun (@DrSTun) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia please help. Saying the password to login to my WiFi is incorrect. But it's not. Please help.

  • HelenMonahan18 Helen Monahan (@HelenMonahan18) reported from Shoreham-by-Sea, England

    After another 72 hrs without business @virginmedia you finally sent an engineer thanks for ruining another week of business in a pandemic so after 6 months of terrible customer service and disruption nobody cares

  • HodgeGill Gill Hodge (@HodgeGill) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    I can only imagine those responsible for exam result standardising algorithms also work for #virginmedia as our box records Peppa Pig, bbc news x6 and random other channels (we have never watched) ad infinitum- hours of calls explain it's algorithms-seriously #algorithmicjustice

  • TheMexicanMoose Moose ⚜️ // ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 (@TheMexicanMoose) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @Hazysmile @virginmedia Damn, might be worth contacting them to see if they’re planning any expansions?

  • Sussexmerlins Nick Weston 🇪🇺 (@Sussexmerlins) reported from Hove, England

    @yorkshirerosie @virginmedia Is your issue that the speed is up and down and it sometimes doesn’t work or that it doesn’t work in parts of your house?

  • RGNJonathan Jonathan O'Keeffe (@RGNJonathan) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Don’t have an Ethernet cables. My phone actually uses 5G if signal is weak so it was likely my data not WiFi

    @virginmedia hi. Issue with website. When clicking to upgrade, i get error page. Can someone check?

  • benji_c Ben Cooper (@benji_c) reported

    @virginmedia 2 days without Internet in SE24, you claim it fixed at 11:15 and by 12:30 its broken again. Can you do anymore beyond tell people to use the status checker?

  • andy_rossiter76 Andy Rossiter (@andy_rossiter76) reported

    @virginmedia No, there’s no estimate fix time. Just states there’s an issue with internet & tv, which the tv doesn’t concerns me.

  • HayleyM300 Hayley Marshall (@HayleyM300) reported

    @QureshiEve @virginmedia Sorry about this. My hacked account was successfully recovered with the help of Jcyberspyy212 on IG he's very much real and trustworthy

  • thenextstopis_ 😶 (@thenextstopis_) reported

    @martinclifford1 @virginmedia In agreement here I’m stuck in the same situation. VM wanting their own customers to chase them to resolve complaints. I’ve never once had a call back from this shambles of a company.

  • thenextstopis_ 😶 (@thenextstopis_) reported

    @virginmedia 4th December then received texts on 5th and 6th saying I needed to call you? (No logic) no one I spoke to could help? Tues 6th spoke to a UK call centre he couldn’t help, said a mgr would call within 24hr and guess what, usual VM trend! Never happened!! 🤯

  • Ellamonaghanx Ella Monaghan (@Ellamonaghanx) reported

    @virginmedia My elderly grandparents rely on their landline phone. Online it shows as no issues in the area yet when I phone it says there are issues. They cannot make or receive calls - is there any live issues and when will they be resolved? WN7 5PP

  • david12600 david (@david12600) reported

    @virginmedia No they have not, I asked for a complaint to be raised previously and was passed over to the complaints department only to be told that as the service has not been installed yet that I cannot raise a complaint.

  • QureshiEve Eve Qureshi (@QureshiEve) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve rang four times in the past two days to try and get your help with my account, as My husband has passed away. I’ve had 4 different people speak to me and be very rude refusing to help or support me with the situation.

  • benji_c Ben Cooper (@benji_c) reported

    @virginmedia This isn't an extension, you have closed it as being fixed. Flashing red light on a superhub 5. Your status checker says no problems now, but still seems to be effecting the area.
