  • Nica Nicole Mezzasalma (@Nica) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia Hello there! My broadband isn’t working, restarted the router three times already and yet the service status page seems to think there isn’t an issue in my area. Next engineer’s appt on Wednesday, can someone help today?

  • AmbroseBarnaby Barnaby & Chris (@AmbroseBarnaby) reported from Richmond, England

    @virginmedia Hi there. I am having trouble using phone service I can never get through. We are looking at ending our Virgin media broadband for now. Can I contact you via Whats app or another means to start this process many thanks. Barnaby

  • mariobucolo Mario Bucolo (@mariobucolo) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia down in se6 london? Can't access to your site even from the mobile

  • Ishaniem ℐ𝓈𝒽𝒶𝓃𝒾ℯ (@Ishaniem) reported from Ilford, England

    @virginmedia broadband down - can't even sign in to my account to check status etc

  • DazzlingHamster Dr Mantis Toboggan M.D. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇪🇺 (@DazzlingHamster) reported from Merton, England

    @virginmedia paid to watch the @AVFCOfficial Vs Leicester game On Demand and it’s not working and your call centre is closed, please respond to this as I am extremely unhappy with the service and you stealing £14.95from me.

  • paulstevenlewis Paul Lewis (@paulstevenlewis) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia no broadband, and your service status pages are faulty! I’m in N3 1QN. Please advise!!

  • Ishaniem ℐ𝓈𝒽𝒶𝓃𝒾ℯ (@Ishaniem) reported from Ilford, England

    @virginmedia So, I've booked an engineer for this but it doesn't make sense to have 2 appointments on different days to sort out 2 issues. Any chance engineer can be told to fix both problems on the same day?

  • damawa42 Daniel W (@damawa42) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia Ha, had to be sure because in past I've had responses about tube WiFi telling me to restart the router etc... It's pretty lame that I would need an app. I really can't see how that will help, as you can't surely expect all of London to download your app just to use tube WiFi?

  • Ishaniem ℐ𝓈𝒽𝒶𝓃𝒾ℯ (@Ishaniem) reported from Ilford, England

    @virginmedia I've switch it off and on a few times yesterday and today but still not working. Wire connections all ok.

  • Deso27 Des O'Carroll (@Deso27) reported from Richmond, England

    @virginmedia how long do I need to hold to get my BB sorted - 25 mins and counting - appalling customer service

  • mark_j_cummins Mark The Mackem (@mark_j_cummins) reported from Hillingdon, England

    My wife tried to cancel our @virginmedia the man on the other end of the phone wouldn't let her go, baby screaming in the back ground for a bottle my wife kindly told him to cancel and she needs to feed the baby, nope he still was asking questions to why. Very unprofessional

  • Ishaniem ℐ𝓈𝒽𝒶𝓃𝒾ℯ (@Ishaniem) reported from Ilford, England

    @virginmedia I have an engineer booked to look at a separate cable problem on Friday. Can this appointment be brought asap so they can fix the WiFi connection at the same time please?

  • ken_smart Ken Smart (@ken_smart) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia hi vm I’m having problems tracking the status of a recent tv upgrade order can you help?

  • rogerw117 Roger Williams (@rogerw117) reported from Richmond, England

    @virginmedia I have no internet at TW2 address (Twickenham). Is there a known issue please?

  • strutcakes Chris 🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈 (@strutcakes) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia Nothing quite like replying to a problem 22 hours later. Useless, utterly useless.

  • mertthemailman Martin Davis (@mertthemailman) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    @virginmedia when will you sort out the broadband service in the EN1 area, it’s been intermittent all week, even worse today?

  • Deano1969 Deano (@Deano1969) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @virginmedia I guess this sums up the level of service. Simply can’t get in touch to discuss the contract we have. Website, telephone, Twitter, bots... no doubt I’ll get a call at the supermarket checkout or at dinner.

  • macbvth 🎃 Spooky, Scary Skele-Sam 👻 (@macbvth) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @virginmedia hi, I'm moving house & I need to change the time of my installation on Friday, but I can't get through to your call centre to request this change & there is no option to do this in my Virgin Media account. Please help!!

  • NickAKramer Nick from London (@NickAKramer) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia London N12 broadband and TV not working From about 12 miday Sunday. Tried 789 but Virgin Landline says we dialled a wrong no.

  • damawa42 Daniel W (@damawa42) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia What app? I'm talking about tube WiFi. I've never needed an app for that before.... And I shouldn't need an app... I'm talking about the sign in page. In the past I only had to put my username and password in once in a while; now it's EVERY station.

  • bigverne2000 Alistair Macqueen (@bigverne2000) reported from Milngavie, Scotland

    @virginmedia Hi, eventually after over an hour of holding(for the third time) got though to someone who asked me to go through everything again for a third time. After 20 minutes of language difficulties got them to agree to send an engineer to my house in Wednesday to try and sort issues

  • MeganBJoyce Megan 🐝 (@MeganBJoyce) reported

    @virginmedia it’s so hard to get in touch with anyone from customer service.... any way we can chat to someone about our incredibly slow internet??? 🙄

  • LauraDavies80 Laura Davies (@LauraDavies80) reported

    @virginmedia COMPLAINT - I ordered a quick start broadband package from you which was meant to be delivered to collect+ today. I have just called to chase the order to be told it’s been cancelled for no reason. I was then cut off when I asked to be put through to complaints!!

  • AnneArchell Anne Archell-Green💙 (@AnneArchell) reported

    @Matthew_Wright @virginmedia They're awful. The only thing you can do is vote with your feet. We've moved to BT now. I had an issue with something and they answered the phone after 3 rings! I don't expect there not to be any problems but I do expect to be able to report it without a 30 min wait on the phone.

  • RiaBlackmore Ria (@RiaBlackmore) reported

    @msb1302 @virginmedia The app told I need a booster based on the strength of signal in my kitchen; the hub is literally in the room next door to the kitchen so you can imagine how bad it is upstairs

  • sproomsi simon jones (@sproomsi) reported

    @virginmedia fix my wifi now! Two weeks of lies and false dates hours on the phone whats going on.

  • craig_prevail craig mcgill (@craig_prevail) reported

    @virginmedia we've upgraded your WiFi for free, I pay 45 a month and not seen a 5g signal in about 4 weeks now lol

  • HobbitsWife Hobbits Wife 💙 (@HobbitsWife) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks can you point me to your website where this text service number is displayed? If so I’ll use it, if not, I won’t.

  • Kimmlennon Kim Marie Lennon (@Kimmlennon) reported

    @Matthew_Wright @virginmedia Change to @bt_uk. Never any problems.

  • The_Pearson John pearson (@The_Pearson) reported

    @virginmedia hi folks, can you let me know how I can use the connect app to access my hub? I try to sign in it says I’m logged in from a previous session. Uninstalled app, logged out/ in, turned hub off etc, been like it weeks and some of my devices not connecting to anymore
