    @virginmedia Nope... back home after being out since 7am. And guess what... no virgin broadband... Still. I can't work. I can't stream. I can't log into the EA/STEAM apps to play games on my pc. Thanks for putting my costs up and dropping the service @virginmedia

    @TheHammer180 @virginmedia Best thing to do is give your 30 days notice to cancel and they will call you directly with an offer! Happened to me twice now!

    @virginmedia Weve had an engineer out, he replaced our router then buggered off. The problems kept happening even with a new router.. its been months of calling & faffing around trying to get this problem fixed & still nothing, its a joke.

    @virginmedia Is anyone answering your phones???!!!!!!. I've been hanging on for 35 minutes. Disgusting customer service.

  • Andreaeday
    Andrea Day (@Andreaeday) reported from Biddulph, England

    @virginmedia Just also discovered that even though I was told I wouldnt pay for gadget rescue & then I was charged in error. Called last weekend to sort and was told it was sorted, I’ve just been credited £5 rather than the £20 paid for initial set up. I am SO tired of this. Please fix it.

  • PlumbousSkin
    💻gremlins r us💻 (@PlumbousSkin) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia I experience this problem all the time. Our phones dont connect, our internet randomly drops out, this isnt a new problem. Just a frustrating one. Everytime we 'monitor it for a week then check back' nothing is ever fixed. Its just a bad service in general.

  • JuPo71
    Julie Podet (@JuPo71) reported from Crewe, England

    @virginmedia It took over 50 mins to get through to receive no relevant assistance or guidance. However no problem in taking the DD of £100 every month !!

  • cajriley51
    Jacqui Riley (@cajriley51) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia Why cant someone just ring me so I can actually explain what the problem is. When I try and light in it does not recognize my mothers maiden name and I'm sure I have got that right so then I cant get any further

  • BarryWi32733397
    Barry Williams (@BarryWi32733397) reported from Hixon, England

    @staffsbrewery @unicom @openreach I walked away from BT Infinity in my Hixon village as soon as Virgin Media was available the Service from BT was not good to say the least and i safe money with VM compared to my monthly charges from BT and Sky

    How ******** can Virgin Media say it's too expensive to connect us with WiFi in this area and would take them years to earn it back, when other people in the smae street have it!!??? 🙃😠

    turnerandhooch® (@Turnerandhooch) reported from Newcastle-under-Lyme District, England

    @fslconsult Yes it’s shit I keep calling to cancel but keep getting cut off about every 40 minutes of hold . Brings a tear to my eye @virginmedia

  • TheLensman
    Mark ODonnell (@TheLensman) reported from Newcastle-under-Lyme District, England

    @virginmedia It might be best if you send a DM - we had a phone call from people who said they were virgin support. We have a phone number but the call felt wrong

    @virginmedia is 5 hours waiting for your cancellation team standard procedure? Absolutely ridiculous customer service. You should be investigated and fined for this. Never going back to your services ever

    @virginmedia my WiFi is down, 2 people can’t work.

    Samina Masood (@Samina_masood3) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for responding but there is no sense of urgency in that message ‘respond as soon as possible’ & ‘resolve issue as quick as possible’; have you read the T&Cs & your legal obligations?

    Good old @virginmedia down yet again. Need to find a reliable provider. Sick of this.

    Nicola Golding (@NicolaG01) reported

    Day 3 of no internet and almost zero communication from @virginmedia. Got a text on Friday saying issue fixed (clearly not) and nothing since. Went on the service tracker to sign up for updates. Still nothing.

    Tamblo (@RonTamblo) reported

    @virginmedia Virgin media is the worst business to get answers from . Either trying to actually speak to someone rather than a Bott who doesn’t understand. Trying to upgrade due to constant messages saying my box needs upgrade and getting no help is a joke !!!!
