    @virginmedia Nothing that springs to mine, but ive never known it to constantly drop off, some of the reasons the operators are giving me are silly and I told the lady it was rubbish.. im sorry but I am fed up of ringing every day and getting nowhere. I think i will have to move broadband

    @virginmedia If you can sort out the compensation for the 2 weeks loss of service, that'd be great 👍

  • lizdixon77
    Liz (@lizdixon77) reported from Mountsorrel, England

    @virginmedia constant problems with broadband over past few weeks, still not up to 500mb speed I should be. Calls to your call centre are pointless and no promised calls back received!

  • JessLeighA
    Jess Adams (@JessLeighA) reported from Ketteringham, England

    @Jake_BHughes @virginmedia we had similar issue. they came when we were on holiday, no communication. we rang, were told they were coming yesterday to connect us, they didn’t arrive. told they’re coming today, didn’t arrive. spent 2 hours on the phone cancelling and was hung up on 3 times.

  • JessLeighA
    Jess Adams (@JessLeighA) reported from Ketteringham, England

    jesus christ talking to virgin media on the phone is ridiculous we rang to cancel, got hung up on 3 times, after 2 hours finally cancelled and after cancelling they’re trying to get us to sign up for phone contracts and sim cards! like we would want that after we just cancelled

    @sueperkins @virginmedia Glad you are publicizing their appalling customer comms whilst @virginmedia shamelessly provide a lousy service and increasing monthly subs by stealth

    @om_riff @RICHEYHELL We have **** all 4g coverage here too unless you stand in the front bedroom with your arm out the window. Our virgin media is either on & working well or down for half a day while they 'upgrade the network' 🤔

  • faizalmom

  • DenhamKite
    Denham Kite (@DenhamKite) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia - what number do I call to talk to a real person to sort this rubbish before I cancel?

  • breadf2man
    Fazal Rehman (@breadf2man) reported from Loughborough, England

    @virginmedia The other issue your engineer was in yesterday surely he would have checked these things out ? Personally i dont think he was very experienced or didnt know how to do his job properly.

    @virginmedia I'm not sure why, but our Internet and TV aren't currently working! No email to say work is being done. Online even says there's no issue which there clearly is. Area is LE2

  • rahim94
    Rahim™ 🇬🇧🇲🇦 (@rahim94) reported from Narborough, England

    I'm seriously considering cancelling @virginmedia!!! I'm getting ****** off with them. 11 days without a service is unacceptable!!!

    @virginmedia No faults found and no errors shown on the tests. Is there a charge for booking a technician?

    @virginmedia I can't send direct messages right now; I've shared all the information, I don't understand why you keep asking for DMs. Please cancel my contract immediately due to the service you're failing to provide. @Ofcom #VirginMedia #Ofcom #Broadband

    @mitchlog @dejanirasilveir What in God's name does he get at that price?? I hope it's top notch. That#s a rip-off. I've heard bad things about Virgin Media. Help him to change to someone else.

    @virginmedia going on to me about a switch of my home phone that I haven't had and still did not want on my subscription for the last 25 years, just **** off will you and take it off the bill. How many text ******* messages and emails for a service no one ******* wants. **** off.

    Finally got rid of @virginmedia broadband, TV and telephone services. Broadband is now supplied by @toobbroadband with a TV streaming service from @skytv

    @virginmedia Down in Wexford and all there is 3G. Omg. Unbelievably bad. Thought that was gone years ago. Time to go Vodafone

    @MartinSLewis Virgin media top tip: If you're close to the end of contract, don't renew. Give them your 30 days notice, When 30 days has elapsed, apply as a new customer with a new email. They won't give you any better deals unless you're a "new" customer
