    @Mike_Randazzo1 @virginmedia Oh, they did let me cancel, but I had to answer about 3 “last question”s before they proceeded 5 minute response time on chat, took me nearly two hours, after the 4 hours it took to connect an agent. We could get a contract with a credit check in 5 minutes.

    @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…

  • AsadMoghal
    Asad Moghal (@AsadMoghal) reported from Kensington, England

    Why does @virginmedia have the worst customer service - the chatbot won’t work, the telephone service disconnects straight away - why bother with the service?

  • RobbieSpice89
    Robbie_Spice (@RobbieSpice89) reported from Paddington, England

    @virginmedia My partner - a current Virgin customer - just got *HUNG UP ON* by one of the rudest customer services advisors I’ve ever heard in my entire life. Abhorrent customer service. Absolutely shocking.

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

    The audacity of #virginmedia to send a letter to me stating that their prices are going up in March after months of rubbish service... 🚮

    Hey @virginmedia ... my WiFi has been down for over an hour now. Unable to WFH without working WiFi. Help.

  • Marshall5Sharon
    shoegal (@Marshall5Sharon) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia It says no problems but believe me… I have no WiFi at all, rebooted and done the usual check

  • MilesMalaya
    Milesfiles (@MilesMalaya) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia The connection has been terribly weak the past 2 weeks. I keep getting kicked out of video calls. Please could you fix, I need to work.

  • 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 😑

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

    @virginmedia it’s been over one month of really poor or inexistent broadband service in London W11. I hope you won’t charge us for the last month.

  • remecampos
    reme campos (@remecampos) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia Still not working, unfortunately I won’t be able to pay for this service much longer if I am always having troubles. I don’t know what to do anymore apart than moving on to another realiable provider

  • GaborPfalzer
    Gabor (@GaborPfalzer) reported from Kensington, England

    @AbzAaron @virginmedia Even better… if you don’t play along, nobody else will cancel it. You can’t even hang up on the sales pitch.

  • markhayo
    MarcHayo. Former ditherer. Now pro hard-changed EU (@markhayo) reported from Kensington, England

    Respect to the engineers @virginmedia Consistently maintaining such a complex network is a tough job, especially at a time of exceptional demand. Whingeing the instant something as advanced as an internet network goes wrong is such a self-regarding 1st World problem. Shame on us

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

    @virginmedia Can you just send a technician over to us? I’d assume you’d prioritise a customer that has been left with no Internet for 5 days? I’m not going to post the issue on an online forum, I’m asking you to provide support please.

  • KittyPoole
    Kitty Poole (@KittyPoole) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia internet has been disconnected (for 2 weeks) Impossible to get help via cust svcs as for some reason they don’t understand the situation. Help!

  • GaborPfalzer
    Gabor (@GaborPfalzer) reported from Kensington, England

    @BigupJeff @virginmedia Yeah, unfortunately. We are okay with the service, that’s why we kept it in the new one, but the customer service is a joke. Had @Hyperoptic once, was absolutely brilliant. Too bad it’s rarely available.

    @virginmedia Any idea when the broadband issue will be fixed in my area ? Teesside . It’s been slow for a good few weeks . Finally the service status page shows there is an issue ,the estimated fix date keeps changing. My internet is now working intermittently.

  • aidan_codtello
    Aidan Costello (@aidan_codtello) reported

    @virginmedia I still have not received a payment I should have received on referring my father to switch to Virgin and he should have had a payment too. Our broadband has been poor this week and I hope it will be better this week.

  • COhanians
    Chris Ohanians (@COhanians) reported

    @virginmedia genuinely shocked and appalled by virgin leaving my 80 year old father in law without broadband for a week. No o2 signal so was uncontactable by family fo such a vulnerable adult. We live a couple of miles from him and we had intermittent broadband too. I went online

    mia (@miaKJKJ22) reported

    @entrustTMF @Gary1165 @virginmedia But what did they tell you? What type of issue this is? Router? When I go on their app to check connection in my place, it says all perfect. But I've no connection!! I can't wait few days as I'm working from home
