    @virginmedia Tbh just looking in to cancelling the current package, nothing but ongoing problems with Virgin Media and impossible to talk to someone on the phone without going on hold for hours and even they they can’t resolve issues. Issues stemming back 5years now! 😠

    @virginmedia how can I have a download speed of over 200mps but my upload speed is 0.5 mps. Shocking service recently

    @virginmedia problems with the boxing again tonight - paid for @anthonyfjoshua fight and keep getting pixelated picture and channel going off air entirely - is it being sorted?

    Hanging on now for over an hour to @virginmedia after being sold a router for a new flat that I told them had a BT phone socket. Trying to #cancel as landlord wont have additional sockets. Lady put us in hold/SILENT for 55mins - they are hoping we disconnect. #virginmedia

    Awesome, so effectively @virginmedia raise current loyal customers prices to fund the discount new customers can get in their sale. Roll on buying my own house and not being tied to them anymore. 12 years of this crap!

    @_pauledwards @virginmedia I tried watching it and gave up after 5 minutes... and that's with fibre! Awful picture.

  • jooz282
    Julie McCarthy (@jooz282) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia It was a little more than short lasting pixelation! The channel kept dropping completely and during the main fight it felt like we were watching in slow motion.

    @virginmedia I've already done that. They've made promises but done nothing. I always have to chase you. Phone backs just don't happen. Nobody wants to help.

  • polhilljim
    Rochester Boy. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 (@polhilljim) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia I need to speak to a manager who can help. They don't seem to want to. I have a contract phone, it won't charge, it's under guarantee, I'm paying you and you won't help.

  • Matt_Goss
    Matt Goss 🏳️‍🌈 (@Matt_Goss) reported from Royal Tunbridge Wells, England

    So far it has taken me 3 days just to confirm that I do need help from @virginmedia using the message function on the app. I’ve spoken with three different people and they each take a day to reply. I just need a new remote as mine has stopped working! I pay enough each month

    Poor service from @virginmedia couldn't offer the deal on your website to an existing customer. Looks like I'll be going elsewhere

    @virginmedia is there internet issues in the Medway area?

  • polhilljim
    Rochester Boy. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 (@polhilljim) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia This is a long story. But Virgin have changed my IMEI number making a second repair not possible. My account is down and even Virgin can't access it. I've been promised calls back several times but they've not happened. The litany of Virgin failures is impossible to put in a text

  • callyauckland

    @virginmedia Yes, no issues listed on broadband, ran check. Helpline temp unavailable. Vpns dropping out all the time.

    Have paid £26 for HD live download and quality is terrible @virginmedia. Its pixallating and freezing @SkySport. Is this going to be sorted out? Why is there no message on screen explaining theres a technical problem ?

  • callyauckland
    caroline auckland (@callyauckland) reported from Royal Tunbridge Wells, England

    @virginmedia Hi there, I was curious to know why my next door neighbour can get your high speed internet services as well as most of the rest of my road, but my flat cannot and so I’m stuck on a maximum of 14Mbps. Anything you can do to help? TIA

  • helloellaxo
    Ella (@helloellaxo) reported from Maidstone, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I’m switching to Virgin broadband next week (being installed) but my Now broadband doesn’t end until the 11th, is that going to be a problem? Can it still be installed? Thank you

    @virginmedia @SpotifyUK Can you stop lying to me and actually install my internet please. Waiting since 21st of last month,can’t get a clear answer,keep getting rescheduled,engineers come to assess my property and don’t get out their van. Unacceptable treatment and terrible customer service

  • jimmy_mulhearn
    Jim (@jimmy_mulhearn) reported

    @virginmedia I know this was the wrong service as when I rung up in August to complain about what I thought was a technical issue. I spoke with another agent who told me the devices I use won’t work on the broadband package I have properly as it’s to slow. Which you knew about from day 1

  • j_d_moran
    JD Moran (@j_d_moran) reported

    Nice of @virginmedia to email to let me know I'm out of contract but if I wish to tie myself down to an 18-month contract for the exact same service I can pay an extra £2+ a month for the privilege. Nice of them also to highlight it'd be £14+ cheaper a month for new customers

  • chris_tout

    @virginmedia Hi, seems to be an unusual issue with the phone line. A particular dialed number will not connect, but when dialed from a mobile it does connect. Any ideas?

  • ak47f
    Big Al (@ak47f) reported

    @virginmedia If your not willing to fulfil your promises let me know and I’ll move straight to @skytv Who have been extremely helpful. I’ve been a loyal customer for years and am disgusted at the way I’ve been treated and lied to

  • ak47f

    @virginmedia Can you help me today or do I have to go to @skytv ? They can install before @virginmedia
