    @virginmedia I got through Ok! Problem is how long it takes to undertake what seems to be a very simple and straightforward task like removing a TIVO box from your package. You are also way too expensive will be looking at other options shortly 🤔

  • nickeyley Eee-lee (@nickeyley) reported from Billingham, England

    @virginmedia Are you effing kidding me - you're doing it again. Internet has dropped for the second time this month. I wonder what you'd do if I didn't provide payment like you fail to provide service.

  • Spock_Thornaby Spock Thornaby🖖 (@Spock_Thornaby) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @JustJanety @virginmedia I’m gong to cancel them st home and with family for the rubbish attitude.

  • alcampion alan (@alcampion) reported from Stillington, England

    @virginmedia it’s slightly better now but these issues keep a curing now and then but nothing gets done about it I rang about a month ago with same problem so you’re team said they will give a reduction in my bill the following month but that never happened so I’m done with you.

  • jimmyhadman James Hadman (@jimmyhadman) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @tescomobile hi guys, really unhappy with service earlier today - exchanges @Tesco Clubcard vouchers to use towards a new Phone for my son, but now I’ve been told I can’t use the vouchers towards a purchase, only deduct from my own bill. @virginmedia here I come!

  • PeteYourDoom Peter (@PeteYourDoom) reported from Hartlepool, England

    @virginmedia Wired is fine. Wifi is fine but degrades on the first floor. Never used to be bad so wondering if faulty hub 3 or software change

  • simonmp68 SimonMorrisonPeacock (@simonmp68) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia Issues described nothing to do with my problem. TV goes off after 20 mins. Sound only. New HDMI lead did not solve problem was told to ring back just cannot get anyone to speak to. Can’t watch TV over a week now. Not good

  • Poddddddd Jamie Gilbey (@Poddddddd) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia It’s not internet related. If it was the all my other devices would have an issue. Tried on numerous occasions to reset the router but it hasn’t fixed the problem. It’s going to need an engineer.

  • gaussey 𝙼𝚒𝚌𝚑𝚊𝚎𝚕 (@gaussey) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia it’s a terrible state of affairs when you have to be told by an engineer there’s been an area fault for two weeks and you don’t know what is causing it or how to fix it.

  • ha66ie Paul Haggie (@ha66ie) reported from Yarm, England

    @virginmedia you really need more staff. I cannot get through to your retention team. I have wasted hours over different days. God awful waiting times. No updates whatsoever.

  • Spock_Thornaby Spock Thornaby🖖 (@Spock_Thornaby) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @JustJanety @virginmedia They have been simply rude and unpleasant. We have been good loyal customers since NTL. We are off now. Disgusted,

  • AmyIrving Amy Irving (@AmyIrving) reported from Egglescliffe, England

  • StevenFawcett_ Steven Fawcett |  | Without GP | (@StevenFawcett_) reported

    @virginmedia why do you make it easy for customers to sign up & upgrade but you make it extremely frustrating and virtually impossible for a disabled person to reduce or cancel their accounts on the web? @Ofcom stop sitting with your thumbs up your arses and do something FFS.

  • Mkulu_ Tommy Meta (@Mkulu_) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve had no tv, no phone, no Internet for days now. All from a problem your technicians came & caused, and you’ve done nothing to help. Jokers

  • Kim_John_bo Kim John-bo (@Kim_John_bo) reported

    @virginmedia without doubt the worst broadband supplier I've ever had, no matter how many times you tell them the connection is terrible, I can assure you it's not my ******* hardware, the ******* useless call centre in India, says it's fine, 600mb my *******!

  • Lamb0fGodd Andrea 🎃🖤 (@Lamb0fGodd) reported

    @virginmedia hey I am trying to access a virgin media mobile account for my partners mum to cancel the contract as she had no idea she has still been paying for the phone for the past 3 years however we do not have the phone to get a code to log into the account

  • SmudgerPhil Philip Smith (@SmudgerPhil) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve gone to settings network selection, turned automatic off and manually selected Virgin!

  • chainsandtrains ScuttLΞ 🦇🔊 (@chainsandtrains) reported

    @virginmedia Lol, that's kind of the issue, everytime I've checked back I'm getting this 'check back in 24 hours' screen. I'm guessing it must time out. I've waited a while each time to see if the fixes have worked (they didn't). Something's broken, how do I get more help?

  • kmontybags Kmontybags (@kmontybags) reported

    @virginmedia Waste of time and effort. Awful on Phone Awful on Social Media

  • Yus7 Yus Lambat (@Yus7) reported

    @virginmedia The service has been very poor. We have been disconnected from our service without a valid reason. The call center staff are rude. I wouldn't recommend anyone to be honest. Stick with Bt or Sky.

  • spenowen Spencer Owen (@spenowen) reported

    @virginmedia Ok. He is out of contract next week so technically could cancel and then sign up as a new customer. I’ll ask him to forward the email.

  • DEL___BOY ✯ DAN ✯ (@DEL___BOY) reported

    @virginmedia I get that but it has also happened on my phone so it isn't device dependant as u do support phones and let's say for example gold was for the blind on my box its the same on my phone as well
