  • CellarmanSam Sam Wilkin (@CellarmanSam) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @virginmedia trying to work from home today has been a nightmare had to relocate for a meeting and cancel another. No Wi-Fi here in E17. When are you sorting it out?

  • spokeswoman4me Danielle DeLellis (@spokeswoman4me) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @virginmedia What a farce! I bet you're picking up all other calls except those from people who want to leave your terrible service! Call disconnects because you're too busy (your own fault that your service is so bad that so many people want to leave) & no other way to cancel!!

  • TomRileyImages TomRileyPhotography (@TomRileyImages) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    @virginmedia the day of all days.. no phone no broadband in HA2 area.. any reported issues?

  • KnooKie_uK Paul Nockolds (@KnooKie_uK) reported from Richmond, England

    @virginmedia broadband has been up and down all day but in last 2 hours it's so bad that we cannot do anything. Had to use my phone to send this message. TW1 area. Any issues?

  • Jmiragliotta89 JMiragliotta (@Jmiragliotta89) reported from Waltham Abbey, England

    Did not last long, my @virginmedia service yet again has let me down!

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

    @virginmedia It was fixed about 1:30am but this is happening a lot since I moved to Hammersmith. But you never tell us what the problem is or give any compensation. I couldn’t do anything. Even my PS4 wouldn’t allow me to play games as they connect online. No TV nothing

  • Jmiragliotta89 JMiragliotta (@Jmiragliotta89) reported from Waltham Abbey, England

    Love that our internet just works when it wants 🙄 @virginmedia the service you provide including customer service is appalling!

  • Jamesmeredith James Meredith (@Jamesmeredith) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginhelp any relay? Virgin media is appalling. Service is non existent

  • lofty_london London Lofty (@lofty_london) reported from Camberwell, England

    @Glitterbeard_ @virginmedia Cancelled last year due to constant issues and moved to Sky, no issues at all and saved a tenner a month.

  • stan_london Stan (@stan_london) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia Hi, internet service in W5, Ealing, London has been up & down like a yoyo in recent week. Unacceptable level of service interruptions. It has just gone down again.

  • tompagenet Tom Page (@tompagenet) reported from Tottenham, England

    @virginmedia As much as I obviously love giving my full personal details in a totally public forum, I'll just leave you to fix this now. I did try.

  • Stramauk GStramaccioni (@Stramauk) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia your super fast broadband failed, again, for the 6th time this month. No support during this hours so I have to waste 2h until you guys can answer! Great service?

  • MarkAJTaylor Mark Taylor (@MarkAJTaylor) reported from Wandsworth, England

    2nd day on hold for over 1/2hr trying to speak to a @virginmedia rep to cancel our account. They should call it “Hotel California Broadband” - you can check in any time you like but you can never leave ...

  • StevenFeldman Steven Feldman (@StevenFeldman) reported from Tottenham, England

    @skepticmike @virginmedia Or you could argue that they were trying it on pitching a £97.50 charge and that the unwary would have just paid. Too many companies do this and then back down after a phone call. Real customer care is offering your existing curlers the best deal available by default

  • i_am_iain Iain Sisson (@i_am_iain) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia This was a good day ago. I'm at least 20 reboots down the line now. It's a Virgin Superhub 3 and we seem to be stuck with one solid green light at the bottom and one flashing green connection light....on a cycle

  • LisaToffolo Lisa Toffolo ⚡️★ (@LisaToffolo) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia hi virgin, I’m being charged for phone charges but we do not have a landline in our flat. Could it be a crossed line? Would be grateful if you could direct me to someone to fix this as I don’t want to be paying for other people’s phone charges

  • RichardMander1 Richard Mander (@RichardMander1) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia what is wrong with the service in SE27?

  • smileyyearwood Smiley🇧🇧🇯🇲 BLM ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽 (@smileyyearwood) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    @virginmedia I've been rebooting all week. The problems are at your end.

  • MikeMay69 Mike May (@MikeMay69) reported from Barnet, England

    @RogerProtzBeer @virginmedia It means you're with a **** ISP Roger! Try the Martin Lewis website tool for switching. Many offer better service and at a lower cost. Virgin get consistently poor reviews-spend all their time/money on silly tv ads rather than customer service.

  • lewyoaks Lewis Oakley (@lewyoaks) reported from Ealing, England

    I can’t believe the nightmare that is @virginmedia internet is down more than it is on at this point.

    @virginmedia I've been trying the messaging service for three days and just getting blanked.

  • scallmcfc Dave Scally (@scallmcfc) reported

    @virginmedia is there any other to cancel instead of calling up? Is there an email address I can send my written cancellation to?

  • jamesmorris_31 James Morris (@jamesmorris_31) reported

    @virginmedia broadband has been down all afternoon- can it be fixed soon please!

  • danr1ch @drich_mufc (@danr1ch) reported

  • sarahclark82 sarah clark (@sarahclark82) reported

    @virginmedia Now can someone help me with my order since this isn’t going to well! Placed an order today and an engineer can’t come out until 18th match after agreeing 25th February? I work for NHS test and trace from home I need my internet

  • tallytoo40 Jill Mays (née Tallentire) (@tallytoo40) reported

    @virginmedia No, just told that wifi isn't important. Been with Virgin for a long time and it is only in the past 6-7 months it has been this bad. We have nothing new connected to it. My husband keeps wanting to cancel our contract but I know Virgin are the best for Broadband. Just frustrated

  • Matt_Goss Matt Goss 🏳️‍🌈 (@Matt_Goss) reported

    @virginmedia I have been trying to call your customer service line all day to discuss the bill increase but it tells me it has not been possible to connect my call?

  • lucylovesmetal Lucy Lu (@lucylovesmetal) reported

    @virginmedia Hiya, I've still had no response / resolution and internet has now fallen over again. Upload speed was just 1.60mbps. This is very frustrating given that we have no other choice but to work (or not in this case) from home. Can this be escalated? It started last weds

  • derekadams88 Derek Adams (@derekadams88) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, indicated everything is OK. As I said, it's sporadic during working hours. I've also tried restarting the hub (which solved the problem for a short period of time). This all started at the beginning of January, had been working fine up till then for a year.

  • SimonFWilson1 Simon Wilson (@SimonFWilson1) reported

    .@virginmedia 25 minutes on hold to get a recorded message offering me a discount smaller than your price increase so my package would cost more. Utterly crap service
