    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.

  • GaelleRTW
    Gaëlle Coyle (@GaelleRTW) reported from Royal Tunbridge Wells, England

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

    @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.

    @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

  • StevenPHartley
    StevenHartleyonline (@StevenPHartley) reported from Royal Tunbridge Wells, England

    Just in case anyone is thinking of signing up to @virginmedia before Christmas. Don’t! They are an appalling service company. I know I am with them. But not for much longer.

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

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

    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

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

    @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?

  • 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

    @virginmedia TV outage ME4?

  • ExonJane
    Jane Exon (@ExonJane) reported from Maidstone, England

    @virginmedia I have been trying to cancel my subscription (first year ended in Sept) for weeks. In the end I gave up and cancelled my direct debit... suddenly I’m contacted! Could we please talk please

  • elise_john85
    Elise (@elise_john85) reported from Maidstone, England

    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!

  • 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

  • goonerlgh
    Lawrence Hooker (@goonerlgh) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia Third Superhub and it's just as unreliable as the previous two. Frequently has to be reset. Slow speeds, unstable wifi. When are you going to replace it with decent hardware?

  • RichAlStanley
    Richard Stanley (@RichAlStanley) reported from Maidstone, England

    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 ?

  • Winclouduk

    @virginmedia is there internet issues in the Medway area?

  • StevenPHartley
    StevenHartleyonline (@StevenPHartley) reported from Royal Tunbridge Wells, England

    @virginmedia your company has the worst customer service of any media company. I am a customer and have been trying by mail, text and phone to contact you for 10 days regarding my media. Anyone thinking of changing to these guys . DON’T

  • 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.

  • StevenPHartley
    StevenHartleyonline (@StevenPHartley) reported from Royal Tunbridge Wells, England

    @wingealot @virginmedia Don’t sign up with this group . That’s my advice I’ve been with them for a while. Customer service is beyond awful

    How can @virginmedia set me up with an account I didn’t ask for because their staff don’t listen! Now going through a war just to cancel the bill 😡 actually the worst customer service ever come across!

  • JustinTyrrell
    Justin Tyrrell (@JustinTyrrell) reported

    @virginmedia making it difficult to cancel a contract doesnt make me want to change my mind. Why can't I just call up and cancel. Why do I need to be out on hold constantly. I'm out of contract!

  • Izzywildheart
    Izzy Wildheart . Artist 🇪🇬 (@Izzywildheart) reported

    @ClareAdams @virginmedia Yes, rotten service for a lot of money, had nothing but problems with it dropping in and out or just cutting out completely. Not worth the money

  • alwsimon
    Alex Simon (@alwsimon) reported

    @virginmedia any reason why it's so unacceptably difficult to cancel a contract with you? Half an hour on hold waiting for someone to answer for something as simple as cancelling.

  • RedHallworth85
    Hallworth85 (@RedHallworth85) reported

    @virginmedia Seems okay but again just lack of information from you guys is poor really, surely when there is fault just say what it is and when you can sort it instead of the BS… Honestly if I had full fibre here with openreach I would ditch virgin in a flash, decent product service = shite

  • Sam13346163
    Sam (@Sam13346163) reported

    @virginmedia help me out I never received the email to validate my email address so can not access my virgin media account? No live chat or anything to help

  • biggybaggyboggy
    annie (@biggybaggyboggy) reported

    @virginmedia @biff_5689 We have the same issue nearby. Last time this happened you told us about it so we could make other arrangements. What went wrong this time?

  • AElmariesh
    Anis El-Mariesh (@AElmariesh) reported

    @virginmedia Seems the issue was a faulty power cable to my Ubiquiti USG… so these things are worth checking before assuming its the ISP

  • ChloHamilton
    chlo. (@ChloHamilton) reported

    @virginmedia 4 days later issues still carrying on every single day! It’s an absolute joke over a month now, there’s not been a day without problems for over a month! But still wanna charge the full bill!!
