    @virginmedia Any idea when issues in BN14 will be fixed?

  • esjexe Siobhan Fitzgerald-Gibson (@esjexe) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia Intermittent broadband service for 24 hours, no contact or apology, and when I called your customer service rep said it wasn't on the status page because "it only affects 25% of customers." Your company should be up in front of Ofcom.

  • logically_fuzzy JK (He/him) 💙🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺 & 🏳️‍⚧️ ally (@logically_fuzzy) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia How can you justify me, a service user for 6 years, paying 3x your current 'new customer' tariff Can I disconnect and rejoin at the lower price please?

  • rhock1979 richard hocking (@rhock1979) reported from Shoreham-by-Sea, England

    @virginmedia How can we get money back from this issue or will you credit all the customers who got virgin tv etc due to what happened

  • mrgarrett100 Lee Garrett (@mrgarrett100) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia you guys are truly the worst... move the service to you with 6 weeks notice and you don't have it ready - suggesting we wait 16 days until you're ready with no service as we've cut the other provider?????

  • gismotigga Gis (sarah)🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺🤘 (@gismotigga) reported from Hove, England

    @TonyMaudsley1 @virginmedia Because they are crap

  • DeanAyass Dean Ayass 💙 🇵🇸 (@DeanAyass) reported from Shoreham-by-Sea, England

    @MontyWanty @virginmedia Never said it was!

  • sami_chanchan Sami Channon (@sami_chanchan) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @Ofcom @virginmedia Amazing thank you. I think I am getting somewhere with virgins Twitter team but there phone staff refused to escalate my complaint to a manager several times and then insisted on a call back which will apparently take 72 hours

  • sami_chanchan Sami Channon (@sami_chanchan) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia That’s fine you’ve been much more helpful than the contact centre he was so rude!

  • helenkellar Helen Kellar (@helenkellar) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia been trying to call you for days, left on hold waiting to get through, disconnected multiple times. For last few days you have issues with your line not taking calls. I need to notify you I am ending my contract as moving home. What are my alternatives? #virginmedia

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

    @virginmedia No, not at the moment! Guess what? Yep, your broadband is down in my area in #brighton. Well done, sterling service. You must be really proud. I have artwork to upload to my website and can't. And all you are going to do is say "sorry". That really won't help, it'll irritate.

  • sami_chanchan Sami Channon (@sami_chanchan) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia @Ofcom @TradeStandards just called to try & cancel my plan as I have just been evicted. you don’t supply my new flat but want to charge me £250, your agent was so rude and refused to transfer me to a manager. Thanks for making a hard time worse!

  • SimonRusbridge Simon Rusbridge (@SimonRusbridge) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia tv and WiFi down in BN14?

  • sami_chanchan Sami Channon (@sami_chanchan) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia I physically can’t take my service with me because you don’t supply the area & I cant keep it where I am as I am being kicked out of my home, I am not choosing to leave virgin you just can’t provide me a service.

  • AnjanKaur3 Anjan Kaur (@AnjanKaur3) reported

    @virginmedia I'm getting really fed up. Surely there is a human being at Virgin Media that is capable to picking the phone up and calling me to resolve this complaint. Seeing as I have tried all methods you provide and non work!!

  • sim_phoenix Phoenix 💜 (@sim_phoenix) reported

    I’ve been with @virginmedia for 2-3 months now and I’m yet to receive a stable connection that will allow me to do my day job and enjoy my TV shows. Choosing them is honestly the worst decision I’ve made of 2022 to save money on bills kmt

  • ben_smithynffc Ben Smith (@ben_smithynffc) reported

    @virginmedia intermittent Internet for months endless phonecalls with customer service telling me to turn the modem on and off, first engineer comes out today and tells me the modems knackered, only to find out its gonna take another 2 weeks to replace and set up!!!! Not happy

  • killer_psx PsX Killer (@killer_psx) reported

    @virginmedia I don't have one I never call you,I set up my contacts at my home with one of your agents,that was 7 years ago

  • tamzinrblack Tamzin Rebekah Black (@tamzinrblack) reported

    @virginmedia I never set up another password? How do I retrieve it then

  • imPartha2612 Partha Sarathi Mukherjee (@imPartha2612) reported

    @virginmedia, I must admit I had never thought I would be facing such trouble after arriving in UK from India. Can you imagine living without internet coverage in this post pandemic age, that too with a 2yr old, who, sadly has grown accustomed to it. This never happened in India

  • Mistress_Zephyr Miss Zephyr (@Mistress_Zephyr) reported

    Finally found a hard limit with My slave T - staying on hold to virgin media for over an hour attempting to cancel my broadband contract. It's truly broken him.

  • cheekychopsedi Steph Young (@cheekychopsedi) reported

    @virginmedia I'm looking to cancel, tried all week to get through on the phone but no joy, do you have a live chat option I could discuss this with someone?

  • pompeyblustu pompey_blu-stu🐎👟🎮 (@pompeyblustu) reported

    @virginmedia @O2 no idea if this will even send I have virgin Internet and o2 phone. O2 hasn't let me connect for a full year in this post code for 4g and now I've been told my Internet is down until next Friday in havant with virgin. What a joke both companies are ****. No help.

  • Mo_K_ Mo K (@Mo_K_) reported

    @virginmedia I've just ordered a sim from you guys, I wanted to know if your mobile customers are using the Vodafone or the O2 network?
