    @virginmedia Hi VM, I ordered a replacement remote control for my TIVO box. Just realised that was a couple of months ago but it never came. When trying online again it says as I’ve had one within six months I can’t order another. Please check that the first was ever sent, thanks

  • PcPresenter PCPresenter (@PcPresenter) reported from Maidstone, England

    @virginmedia If you do not fix the #FuryWhyte fight by 7:30pm, I will cancel my subscription and go to @sky as they seem to be able to hold up their end of a contract.

  • cboxot C Borrill-Bromige (@cboxot) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia I've been having issues with internet dropping out continuosly for a couple of months, you sent another WiFi pod still the problem is there! The hub 3 status network connection has warnings and is critical, losing sync! I have been spin around in circles

  • SeanM_ODP Sean McDonald (@SeanM_ODP) reported from Maidstone, England

    1hr 15mins on the phone and counting just trying to cancel @virginmedia @VMHelpDesk Disgrace to be honest

  • CarolynTGray Dope Old Person 💜 🐳🦋 (@CarolynTGray) reported from Royal Tunbridge Wells, England

    Anyone else #TunbridgeWells having slow @virginmedia internet?

  • mikej2504 Michael Jones (@mikej2504) reported from Walderslade, England

    @virginmedia offers social tariff of £12.50 for 15mb which is slow. Better option almost anyone with BT £12.50 for 36mb and Vodafone £12.50 for 38mb. Virgin also has £20 for 54mb but is higher price than most others offering same.

  • nigelrumsey Nigel Rumsey (@nigelrumsey) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia Your link says it can’t find any issues, there are issues. Can you advise if it’s being investigated? What’s the eta? Thanks.

  • 1CreativeRay Dr Stower and the Stock Market of Madness 🦍 (@1CreativeRay) reported from Wainscott, England

    @virginmedia Terrible service from you these last two weeks! I have spent more than 4hrs on the phone to Asian based O2, and Virgin call centres who never help or process things. Also Capita in South Africa… Why do you use foreign call centres if they cannot do the job!!

  • PcPresenter PCPresenter (@PcPresenter) reported from Maidstone, England

    @virginmedia Why is the #FuryWhyte fight not working?? I want compensation for this

  • MikeBuckley2 Michael Buckley (@MikeBuckley2) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia I am trying to access live chat as I have blackspots in house and would like WiFi boosters from Virgin. I have 200 Mbps but am getting only 20mbps in bedroom. Cannot find live chat on sites other than loads of help pages. Really frustrating

  • J4Y_DEE Justin 🇺🇦 (@J4Y_DEE) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia @VMHelpDesk Broadband down in my area, this is frustrating. Reckon it’ll be fixed by 9. No tv & Broadband during the school holidays

  • MarcusNovius MNovius (@MarcusNovius) reported from Royal Tunbridge Wells, England

    @coxy1976 @virginmedia Crazy you got to speak with a human! Took me days to get through via various methods going round in circles just trying to either cancel or renew my broadband. Eventually it was sorted in minutes after hours of my time wasted.

  • SteveRoots1 Steve Roots (@SteveRoots1) reported from Royal Tunbridge Wells, England

    @virginmedia your level of service doesn't get any better. 45 minutes on the phone, passed from pillar to post and all points in between and you still won't come and remove your illegally fitted equipment. I wouldn't recommend you if you were the only company on earth. #poor

  • rosieposexx Rosie ♕☻ (@rosieposexx) reported from Tonbridge, England

    @virginmedia hello I’m at my grandparents who have virgin as their landline supplier and the line seems to be very temperamental and can go down for a whole day with no dial tone and if you ring them it just hangs up. They don’t use mobile phones and I live far (1/2

  • vamplady35 Sharon Cooper (@vamplady35) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia My understanding is that it is affecting a lot of people. I have now worked out how to access my email another way but do strongly feel that virgin media should be looking to resolve this issue ASAP.

  • yiddo71 Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Rainham, England

    @virginmedia what is going on with broadband not working in ME7 area?? Cannot access website either so unable to check status…

  • bigben9696 Gingerbread Man (@bigben9696) reported from Rainham, England

    @virginmedia no Internet and the website down....have you tried turning yourself off and on again?

  • mikej2504 Michael Jones (@mikej2504) reported from Walderslade, England

    @virginmedia When I am advised by City Fibre when the service is going live I will then choose an alternative supplier all of which will be cheaper than Virgin and then advise when I would want your service disconnected

  • Scott_Wic Scott Wickham (@Scott_Wic) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia My request to support was about the hub5 and some Wi-Fi extenders/boosters which I’m entitled to, they said that it was sorted and would be in the post and now only the hub5 has turned up!!! Does this mean I have to contact support again…….

  • _Lewis_A Lewis Allen ⚒ (@_Lewis_A) reported from Romford, England

    On phone to @virginmedia for 55 mins to cancel, speak to 4 different people about a mis-sold service and then when I ask them to produce my contract they hang up. Not happy.

  • SurjKhera Surj (@SurjKhera) reported

    So @virginmedia think it's OK to increase my broadband price by 25% mid contract and then impose new terms for yearly increases of RPI +3.9% with No right to cancel. 🤔 I will cancel now just out of principle. @MartinSLewis I hope you are all over this one!

  • TomosWoolley Tomos Woolley (@TomosWoolley) reported

    @virginmedia any decent update on the outage rather than a broad Blanket something's wrong engineers are trying to fix it.

  • IanMarsdenGB Ian Marsden PLY (@IanMarsdenGB) reported

    @virginmedia Hi @virginmedia just wondering how much would broadband on its own without tv and phone would be of an existing customer?

  • cheekygobshite Simon (@cheekygobshite) reported

    @AshScrivens @virginmedia @Hyperoptic I’m not far behind after a 7 year customer and now out of contract they’ve put my broadband only up to £60 a month. Community Fibre for a faster speed at £25!

  • TripleHGOAT Triple H is the GOAT (@TripleHGOAT) reported

    @mattyc96 Virgin Media Customer? They have access to

  • Tribe671 Tribe67 (@Tribe671) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you fo the generic response! however there is no way 33.3% increase can be justified. 8 years as a customer and nothing changes, you actively penalise loyality

  • law83692622 Syrena Tracy #GeneralElection #StandWithUkraine 🌻 (@law83692622) reported

    @paullewismoney @virginmedia I know, that's why I've got a headache trying to cancel! 🙀

  • Gigi04498012 Gigi (@Gigi04498012) reported

    @virginmedia Yes because they had already extended it for 5 days already. The problem is I don’t get paid until this Friday. You’ve left 2 children unable to do their homework that’s due in by Friday. So thank you virgin media.

  • JackBG99 Jack G 🎢🔧 (@JackBG99) reported

    Has anyone had much luck negotiating down their monthly payments to Virgin Media for their broadband package. Later on this year I’ll be moving out leaving my mum (single parent, on benefits due to ill health) and she definitely won’t be able to afford what VM are asking for
