  • CathyTVNews Cathy Alexander (@CathyTVNews) reported from Thatcham, England

    What's the problem @virginmedia ? No broadband all day in RG18. Work day wasted. Your signal check says "problems" but no updates. Can't get thro to customer service.

  • TheTomothy Tom Hogan (@TheTomothy) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia better have a good explanation for this but likely this will never be answered and all my years of bills and loyalty mean absolutely sod all. @bt_uk and @SkyHelpTeam Any good deals on broadband? And can you promise you wont vandalise my home & connection randomly?

  • fayeharland faye harland (@fayeharland) reported from Woolhampton, England

    @virginmedia hi there not sure if you can help. We’ve been trying to contact my Uncle for a few days on his landline and it’s going direct to the message service. We’re getting quite worried about him and wondered if it’s possible to see if there’s a fault on the line?

  • littlekatyb Katy Blay (@littlekatyb) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia Hi! Our landline is being switched over to fibre on the 4th October, however our landline and WiFi hub are not on the same floor so we cannot connect them. Help please!

  • pilot_paul Pilot_Paul 🇪🇸 (@pilot_paul) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @Dom_Brown2406 @virginmedia Got through. They aim to fix the issue by 10:00

  • MatildaDr Joanne Wells (@MatildaDr) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia you used to be great, but now not so great. I lose my internet connection far more frequently now. There’s an error when I try and change my package online. I’ve phoned customer service now I have to call tomorrow as your systems are down for changing packages

  • SimonMiller52 Simon Miller (@SimonMiller52) reported from Thatcham, England

    @virginmedia Hi yes I’ve done this numerous times and spoken to many people on chat and always been told I will get a call to discuss and I never hear back. I just want someone to look into why we cannot get it but it’s available on our road. Thanks

  • pilot_paul Pilot_Paul (@pilot_paul) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia @joelycollinsx Hilarious. You get a link after ringing the number but the website is down

  • thebiggayreview The Big Gay Review (@thebiggayreview) reported from Basingstoke, England

    WiFi went down in the middle of watching Halloween Ends. 4G signal also unresponsive. Stuck on very slow 4G. Virgin Media say it’s possibly a hardware fault and want to send someone Monday. No. I’m not waiting 72 hours with no internet. I’ll implode.

  • tRed20 Tony Redmond (@tRed20) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia Suddenly came back online yesterday afternoon ...so suggests there was an issue elsewhere. Thanks for your replies

  • Loafite Tony Phillips (@Loafite) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia Thanks @virginmedia perhaps you should be making the effort to get me to stay as a customer. Hopefully @SkyHelpTeam will be able to offer me something more cost effective

  • Loafite Tony Phillips (@Loafite) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @SkyHelpTeam hope all is well, @virginmedia have just increased my bill again for broadband (£32 increase per month in the last 10 months, disgraceful) are there any deals for a Sky customer for broadband?

  • richcon98 Richard Conway (@richcon98) reported from Thatcham, England

    @virginmedia I have to say @virginmedia are one of the worst companies to contact if you have an issue. Their message system is a joke and accounts a shambles. @skyuk is looking a better prospect!!!!

  • KieranDavey1 Kieran Davey (@KieranDavey1) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia Hi - I'm in Rg22 and Internet has been down since about 11am - do you have an eta for when this will be fixed? Thanks

  • BundockBrian Brian Bundock (@BundockBrian) reported

    @virginmedia I have been trying to contact you re my account 724871001 area code 20 please cancel my account at the end of my first year in February thank you

  • gmofffff Art Vandelay (@gmofffff) reported

    It's not even 11am and my broadband has gone down 5 times. @virginmedia you are so **** eh.

  • darren_bell Darren Bell (@darren_bell) reported

    @topherham @virginmedia @SkyUK I have had nothing but issues with Virgin and I bought my own router and it fixed the issue (and I’ve not had an issue in over 2 weeks). I think there is a fundamental flaw with their HUB.

  • staceyrushton2 stacey rushton (@staceyrushton2) reported

    @virginmedia So after endless texts the answer is still no, you value new customers more than existing loyal customers. What idiot is going to pay £98 pm when you have told them as a new customer they would pay £68pm for the same deal. Shameful values for a company

  • CockneyKiwiLad Jason Riddell (@CockneyKiwiLad) reported

    @virginmedia is there someone at all in your organisation that will return my calls or emails. One week on and all I get is hang ups.

  • deadstar37 Vicky 💙 (@deadstar37) reported

    Hi @virginmedia I was meant to get a call back yesterday and never received one. Can I chase it up please? It’s regarding a new contract that’s being set up tomorrow

  • alanstitt41 Alan Stitt (@alanstitt41) reported

    @virginmedia We have to cancel before the 26 th February because of the price rise, does that still in a final bill?

  • ukmartint Martin T (@ukmartint) reported

    @virginmedia trying to cancel my mobile contract with you! Tried calling, you won't answer, canceled my DD you roll up the bill! I cannot be expected to pay if you won't answer me! Pls help.

  • ssjjsd Steve Mellor (@ssjjsd) reported

    @virginmedia Ofcom has set out conditions that providers must comply with. It said providers must ensure “customers who are leaving do not face additional barriers or hassle compared with those who are signing up for new services.” Why should I have to write to cancel my service?

  • TheRobShields Rob Shields (@TheRobShields) reported

    @virginmedia Intermittent broadband outtages. When the service is connected, the wifi speeds are 20-30Mbps in the same room as the router whereas i normally get ~200Mbps. I am on the 350 broadband only package. Extremely frustrating when both my wife and I work from home currently.
