    @virginmedia how can I contact u? Nothing works online, no text sent, calls are not answered. I have been trying to contact u for two weeks. I am moving overseas and need to cancel unless you have service in USA. #virginmedia

    ITS NOW almost 6 months since I made the contract with the sales team and I was told by the customer service team today that they can’t help and I need to keep trying. Trying what? WHERE ARE MY RIGHT? @virginmedia @richardbranson

  • GabrielaLungu
    Gabriela Lungu (@GabrielaLungu) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia Right… in the meantime I trust you won’t charge us. No service should at least mean no pay. If not also a bonus for the disruption and the frustration caused 😑

    @virginmedia trying to cancel my subscription for the last 2 hours. It takes forever to reach someone responsible. It is unethical to make this process so hard

    @virginmedia Hi, no service in W12. Router has been rebooted but still just flashing green. Been like this on/off for 24 hours.

    @OminousBagel @virginmedia Although I’m equally annoyed by their fault self-checking system … that requires you to be on the internet, on the same network you’re complaining is down…

  • hdl_dl
    helena (@hdl_dl) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia Still with the problem, no answer

  • ImaginaryCard
    Mo-Mo (@ImaginaryCard) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia Issue is still ongoing. I have called the helpline twice and after dialling my password and getting a dial tone, I have been cut off both times before speaking to anyone. Are your phone lines broken?

  • ImaginaryCard
    MoMo (@ImaginaryCard) reported from Hammersmith, England

    Nothing like @virginmedia's **** broadband coverage to kick off the week. No connection for 1 hour now

  • CorpFred
    Fred D (@CorpFred) reported from Kensington, England

    @birh_trx @virginmedia Yes it is down

    Gabor (@GaborPfalzer) reported from Kensington, England

    @atnori_ @virginmedia Yep, experienced just recently :D I am an extremely patient person… I properly lost it today 🙃 At least the damn thing is cancelled though.

    @virginmedia outage in Kensington....again.

  • nickhooker
    Nick ****** (@nickhooker) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia has the very worst customer service of any company I have ever had to deal with. If you value your sanity DO NOT sign up with them to provide anything!

  • WoleAdesemoye
    Wolé Adesemoye (@WoleAdesemoye) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia My previous landline telephone number was meant to be ported over and this never got done. I’ve never been able to receive incoming calls on my landline. Internet is very intermittent. My experience with your customer service hasn’t been great. All along I’ve been paying in full.

  • chrisgreen
    Chris Green (@chrisgreen) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia Try actually looking at your previous comms on Twitter with someone before making such an inappropriate and unhelpful response! At the end of the day, if you are not going to help, why are you here?

  • edward_baran
    Edward Baran (@edward_baran) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia There are your usual garbage explanations yes. Saying no fix for hours. Not good enough

  • iamAleFerrara
    Alessandro Ferrara (@iamAleFerrara) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia Hello there, DAY 5 without Internet connection here and I haven’t received any update from you. Can you PLEASE make some clarity on what is going on and when we can expect this to be fixed? Surely you should have sent a technician to check on us by now… Absolutely awful.

  • Jo_The_Waiter
    CALUM GRAY (@Jo_The_Waiter) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @DJRustyEgan @virginmedia It’s not speed I have a problem with, it’s all my services are down.. no broadband, no tv, no home phone. Awful service

  • iamAleFerrara
    Alessandro Ferrara (@iamAleFerrara) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia Hello there, it’s past 12pm and we’re still without any Internet connection (and getting desperate now). I’d like to stress that this isn’t an intermittent signal issue but a total loss of service as we’ve been having no Internet connection AT ALL since last Friday. HELP PLEASE!

  • craiginmotion
    craig crawford (@craiginmotion) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia And how am I to do that with no service? It took 3 technicians to figure out my modem had to be “pin reset” and another to rename it properly. Thats 1 hr of my life gone. So glad @CommunityFibre has arrived near me.

    johngunn (@johngunn2) reported

    @virginmedia @CliveR39 The last time I checked a couple of days ago it gave an estimated fix of 28th August. Which considering it’s been at least a week since it went down is a considerable length of time to not receive the service we’re paying for.

  • DavySdpatterson
    davy patterson (@DavySdpatterson) reported

    @DavidPaintdw @virginmedia They are the worst , best thing ever getting away from them 👎

  • F3Lollipops
    Andrea Cook 🧷 💙 (@F3Lollipops) reported

    @virginmedia we've had CS2004 on all channels since yesterday. I spent a long time in a live chat last night & was assured it would be fixed by 11pm last night but it's not. This is unacceptable. At what point do you compensate for not providing the service for which you're paid?

  • Scottish_VAR
    Scottish_VAR (@Scottish_VAR) reported

    @heid_the_baw_ @virginmedia I have moved to smarty mobile hub. I pay 20 a month for unlimited data, its a rolling month contract and uses three signal. Its great you can take it away with you to hotels or away on holiday.

    @TNTSportsBR @virginmedia sort your friggin channel out...signal in and out for celtic game. £130 a month for this shite.

    @TheMandyGall Tommy was ok until virgin media brainwashed him but hey ho his kids will grow up knowing daddy pushed this fake **** on them

  • _DundeePerfect_
    A.Brown (@_DundeePerfect_) reported

    @timtam1888 @heid_the_baw_ @virginmedia The problem many have with connection Speeds in other Rooms has partly nothing to do with the size of the Router, it is down to using wifi and not wired by Cable. All rooms for best results need wired, my own wifi I can't even get sat outside my own House never mind game with it.

    Stephen Maddock (@stephenm68) reported

    In the meantime the @virginmedia ‘supervisor’ whom I waited 90 mins to talk to on Tues night, & who promised to escalate our outage to engineering so I could have SOME INFORMATION, has of course not been in touch Just like the other supervisor who made the same promise last week

    @stephenm68 @virginmedia That is awful. Virgin media have really done down hill in looking after their customers. All they care about is customer acquisition
