    @virginmedia And believe me after 10 year service never missing a bill and taking every service I will not be back after this. Not my fault you cannot supply a service so why there is no compromise? Disappointed

    @virginmedia No I was to busy working 7 days to pay for it why do I need to @skytv never needed too—-surly it’s a standard set up to record a programme whatever the length.

  • tvarsanyi Toby Varsanyi (@tvarsanyi) reported from Bryn, England

    @virginmedia after 15 years loyal custom I decide to cancel my contract because I am moving home and you charge me £50 in cancellation charges. Classy. I won’t be using you again.

  • markdean5413 mark dean (@markdean5413) reported from Bury, England

  • geordiemanc70 GeordieManc (@geordiemanc70) reported from Urmston, England

  • lyndseym123 Lyndsey Moss (@lyndseym123) reported from Halewood, England

    @virginmedia Internet issues all morning. Service status checker says no issues in the area & the automated number said to keep an eye on it for 24 hours after finding an intermittent issue. This is unacceptable. We pay a lot for your service and need the Internet for work

  • steveeades Steve Eades (@steveeades) reported from Runcorn, England

    @virginmedia checked this and currently it says no issues,there clearly is a issue as this is not an isolated incident and is affecting others closeby. Unless you can actually do anything that may solve or attempt to solve the issue dont bother replying because your just giving me lip service

  • adeleturton Adele Turton (@adeleturton) reported from Salford, England

    Do you think perhaps someone could return my phone call regarding my complaint @virginmedia absolutely disgraceful service, obstructive when I’m trying to resolve your error from 2 years ago #avoidvirginmedia

  • tonydavo22 TonyD (@tonydavo22) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia absoulute joke.. c Worst customer service

  • j_dip Jai Mistry (@j_dip) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia currently have had no broadband for the last 3 hours, I am aware the service is down in the area but do you have any indication as to when this will be resolved?

  • markdean5413 mark dean (@markdean5413) reported from Salford, England

    So we finally have internet back on after 45 hours 😡no updates from @virginmedia again very very poor service

  • DumboFi DUMBO (@DumboFi) reported from Golborne, England

    @virginmedia any chance of a new remote your website is broke and your call centres hang up very rude

  • boardchik Katy Molyneux (@boardchik) reported from Standish, England

    @virginmedia I need a wifi booster for my house, when am I able to get one? Says you’re not taking registrations anymore! The signal in my study is not the best and I need it to work from home

  • steveeades Steve Eades (@steveeades) reported from Runcorn, England

    @virginmedia Previous appointment had to be cancelled due to work commitments. Unsure what they would have done at the property anyway when it looks like an issue with the service to my property and others. Can’t you check Wa74rf postcode service supply?

  • Jenmax_83 Jen (@Jenmax_83) reported

    @virginmedia any idea how long my service will be down for? So far no Internet, TV or phone line since 3pm yesteday and your website fix time just keeps going up.

  • mcalvert1066 Northernguy (@mcalvert1066) reported

    @virginmedia Yes there is an ongoing issue just seems to be taking ages to sort

  • ChrisMumfo Christopher Mumford (@ChrisMumfo) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for your reply surely you understand it is very frustrating not to be believed and then to complain then to be told the problem is at my end but then the problem is area wide and then total loss of service. Thanks everything is working well so far today.

  • hopegracetoday Hope Grace (@hopegracetoday) reported

    @virginmedia Getting thru on phone is the issue.

  • ozguresentepe Özgür Esentepe (@ozguresentepe) reported

    @virginmedia What number can I call to sort this issue?

  • buildagill A.Gill Building (@buildagill) reported

    @virginmedia Its a residential account. We were promised £50 credit off the first bill, no set up or activation fee. 1st bill should have been £6, then £28 there after. 1st bill was £91.... I've tried calling to fix problem but getting nowhere.

  • SGR_KSR K’sar (@SGR_KSR) reported

    @virginmedia My complaint was that my 30 days notice and subsequent submission of proof were both ignored. I gave my notice in June, I’m still with VM now and being charged double. My complaint was then closed down without any resolution or communication. This is how you lose customers….

  • stevedavidson_ Steve Davidson (@stevedavidson_) reported

    @virginmedia No. Given that the same problem is affecting all 4 of our numbers/handsets and there are many other reports of the same issue, it can’t be related to my handset.

  • m1cvv Micky Welch (@m1cvv) reported

    @virginmedia I like to have them split so I can have different devices on the 2.4 and the 5Gz. So basically every reboot or down time the 2.4 will automatically rename itself to what my 5Ghz signal is and all the devices which were connected to 2.4 then show as offline. 2/4

  • my_minxy MyMinxy (@my_minxy) reported from Lincoln District, England

    @virginmedia on the phone now for 3rd time as get cut off, no internet and NO HELP, it’s been over 24hrs now, I need the internet
