    @virginmedia I am currently on 3G and it’s SLOW! So a refund would be the right thing to do. Especially if the money has already come out of my account. I have screenshots to prove it’s not working.

    @virginmedia The service keep cutting out. And having to reboot 3/4 times a week. If no one comes and fix the fault. I will cancel everything and go to the ombudsman to claim back all the money paid for a fully working service.

    @virginmedia If 8 of your operators and an engineer cannot fix my Virgin Broadband I dont think the forum is going to do a lot unless they come to my house and repair it

    Nikki Pearman 💙 (@NikkiPearman) reported from Loughborough, England

    @virginmedia I have an issue with my wifi signal being weak upstairs - until last 2 mths it was perfectly fine. However it’s impossible to speak with anyone - I don’t want the automated system or a broadband check as service is fine it’s just range. Unhappy customer

    Is anyone else having issues with @virginmedia? Internet is being very spotty and seems others are having issues too according to Down Detector.

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

    @virginmedia what is going on with your pitiful excuse for Internet connectivity in LE7. It hasn't been working since midnight, it distill doesn't work. Good job we're leaving you next month for a reliable supplier. #nointernetagain

    @Jake_BHughes @virginmedia apparently we have a blockage where they need to connect us, which is what we would need fixing by thursday. being that unreliable we decided to cancel everything with them fully. a shame because what they offered was great. customer service department is not easy to get round 😭

  • MatthewWalne
    Matthew Walne MCSI (@MatthewWalne) reported from Mountsorrel, England

    @virginmedia I know I recently extended my broadband contract with you but the service is abysmal and the customer service even worse. Can I cancel please and I will go back to Sky.

    @virginmedia I’ve had to call you in the past week 150 & you had to reset the router ... I shouldn’t need to do this! It’s your responsibility to ensure I have the service I pay (a lot) for!!!

  • 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

  • HarjitDosanjh8
    High End Chauffeurs of leicester (@HarjitDosanjh8) reported from Thurnby, England

    @virginmedia So whilst on the phone you put us through to get a dongle as an emergency and you tried to charge us £39! Wow the cheek of it!

    @virginmedia - so you’ve just cut me off after speaking to one of the operatives for 35 minutes. Terrible service

  • StuPlaysXD
    Stu Plays XD 🎮 (@StuPlaysXD) reported

    @virginmedia honestly hindsight is great because if I had just waited I wouldn’t of gone with yourself as a provider. £90 a month for constant drops in internet / tv. Your stream box is useless. Massive thumbs down 👎 would not recommend. Should of just renewed with @skytv 👍

  • DjmarkieT
    mancs boi (@DjmarkieT) reported

    @TheSun @DailyMirror @ManchesterEven why is no one reporting about the fact virgin media broadband and TV has been down since 2pm friday with no updates to customers an absolute joke! #virginmedia

  • janeamanda67
    Jane Samuels (@janeamanda67) reported

    @virginmedia I have already done that multiple times and there is an issue in my area, which was confirmed by customer services, but taking 10 days to rectify it is not acceptable

  • lakecitygirl
    The Original What's Going On (@lakecitygirl) reported

    On Trustpilot, @Virgin Mobile Canada has over 2,000 reviews (≈2,089) with a very low TrustScore around 1.3–1.5 out of 5, and about 90%+ of reviewers give 1 star as well as over 250 complaints with the BBB. @virginmedia you've got a serious problem.

  • EssVeeJay
    SVJ 🦦 (@EssVeeJay) reported

    @virginmedia It was finally fixed at 4pm today after 6 days . I will be seeking appropriate compensation for lack of service, out of locked expenses incurred and my time being wasted having to chase your engineers and customer services

  • Sep8001

    @virginmedia Hi, Are there some ongoing issues in the HA7 area? We seem be having internet issues over the last few weeks with no internet. Thank you

  • iadnan9
    Addy (@iadnan9) reported

    @virginmedia @AlloquiStrix Reported an issue 2 months ago and only just received a response. The advice given was unhelpful, careless, and frankly unprofessional. The issue is still ongoing with Now being told it could take another 28 days for a follow-up. Completely unacceptable and a waste of time.

  • leamingtonpete
    peter davis (@leamingtonpete) reported

    @ChrisWales61 @virginmedia I had similar, they promised me a free month when I complained, that never happened. I complained again and they said the offer had expired (huh?) I record all my calls take names and times with suppliers and on threat of ofcom/ombudsman I got my free month promised.

    @virginmedia why is it so hard to speak to anyone. Received a new hub on Saturday, I've received an email to say old one stops working after 5 days!!! I can't get it fitted that quickly. Please help
