    @virginmedia can you give me a direct number to call to cancel my contract. I've used whataspp / webchat and spoken to two people in last 24 hours - but to no avail.

    @virginmedia We’ve been disconnected early. Been trying for nearly an hour on your live chat but no help provided at all. Still waiting.

    @virginmedia your service checker isn’t working. Can you please advise of service issues in the N1 area as the broadband has gone down again? Thank you.

    @virginmedia I’ve already terminated my service with you since you were unable to get it installed in less than a month.

    Mary (@SandraS80775853) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia This issue has been going on since August. Loss of power for hours on end is adding up to several days. I am currently on hold which I've been doing for 30 minutes. Shocking @Se7 residents please take note of @virginmedia

    @virginmedia Our Wifi has been down since yesterday can you help please

    Jeff Salmon (@JeffSalmon) reported from Camden Town, England

    cont/- Every 2/3 hours you say that it is going to be fixed within three or four hours. It has not. We could not give a **** about £8 compensation per day. You are costing us thousands of pounds in lost revenue for those of us working from home. More @virginhelp @virginmedia

    @virginmedia I sent you the screengrab, it says “your mailbox is not available at the moment”. Can you confirm what the issue is with your mail server?

  • BBLn15
    Helen Reihill (@BBLn15) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia 14 hour wait for a response on your chat bot and I still haven’t passed security. That’s some service

  • RogerHighfield
    Roger Highfield (@RogerHighfield) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia, your app does not seem to think there's a problem with the internet in area 21. I think different. Can you check?!

  • marianmartinart
    Marian Martin (@marianmartinart) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia It says there aren't any known issues but we have been struggling with it for the last few years - the service is just getting worse!

  • HunteLucy
    Lucy Hunte (@HunteLucy) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia - workman cut through my cable, no Wi-Fi, TV or phone and earliest engineer appointment is Monday??! Completely unacceptable! I work from home and have teens! 😭Help!!!

  • beccaleigh99
    Rebecca Gould (@beccaleigh99) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia hello, since you ‘upgraded’ the WiFi in our area - Clerkenwell- the WiFi signal has been terrible. To whom shall I complain? Thanks

  • DerrickSWB
    Derrick Brown (@DerrickSWB) reported from Lower Clapton, England

    @virginmedia Green up/down arrow flashing and router restarting

  • Barchetta66
    Helen Pinkers (@Barchetta66) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia So that’s it. We’re still no closer to solving this issue than we were when it went down at the beginning of the week. Absolutely dreadful service.

  • JeffSalmon
    Jeff Salmon (@JeffSalmon) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia Your bland response is no different to the info being said on your website. Rather than tell everyone that the fix will be ready in a few hours (as you have done for the past three days), why not tell us what the problem is and stop giving us false hopes. Your response please.

    Burnley Dave:Not woke just human.💙🌈🍺🇪🇺 (@tlcko1882) reported from London, England

    @journokeith @virginmedia Good as in they acknowledged your existence was what I meant. That's how their "customer services" is set up, they don't have the staff based in the UK to deal with it and all they can do is what they are doing.

  • silvergoatish
    The waving mechanical roadgoat™ (@silvergoatish) reported from Camden, England

    @virginmedia Duly noted. I'm not likely to be a customer for much longer though, with your general level of service and pricing.

  • BBLn15
    Helen Reihill (@BBLn15) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginhelp @MistryMistry21 @virginmedia Virgin Media give really poor customer service. I’ve been waiting over 14 hours? It feels like your customer service team is a team of 1

    @MikeNewman68011 @Caolan_Scully Also, why does nobody jump up and down about the games in Virgin Media Park vs Edinburgh and the Dragons last year. Or the planned ones this year.

    Stream box is terrible claims be 4k, picture, colours, duller than 1988 vhs channels, chip obviously yrs behind, thats tv pulled out now, no rewind tv surely no one would pay £15 pm for sky entertainment when sky entertainment and kids is £3.99 on @NOW @virginmedia

  • Howard1963OT
    Howard Borrington (@Howard1963OT) reported

    @JasonAlderwick @richardbranson Confusing though it is Jason, Richard Branson has never owned Virgin Media. He held a minority stake of roughly 10% and licensed the Virgin brand name to the business until the company was bought out by Liberty Global in 2013.

    @shashpatel23 @virginmedia @HopeForTo Honestly, it’s a joke! Saying 8:07pm fix time here in Birmingham! If I hadn’t been forced to upgrade my V6 box to 360 software I’d still be able to access the tv channels!! But because 360 relies on wifi connection I can’t get any tv!! 🤯🤯😡😡

  • dobbin1957
    Dobbin1957 (@dobbin1957) reported

    @virginmedia so after 3 days a week or so back without broadband, landline or TV, and no sign of compensation and only the most glib apology, our service is off again today and will be off all day according to their status checker. Not good enough. Time to go.

    DO NOT EVER BECOME A CUSTOMER OF @virginmedia THEIR NETWORK IS UNSTABLE AND NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE. THEY WEASEL OUT OF DELIVERING A SERVICE BY SAYING THEY ONLY GUARANTEE ONE PART OF IT AND CHARGING THE EXIT FEE. THE £28M @Ofcom FINE WAS 100% DESERVED. LOOKING AT MOVING TO @EE

    Elle 🌸🗽 (@hellosunshine52) reported

    @MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK I’m so sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine how hard all this is. For your info with regard to your issue - virgin media have just been fined £28m for preventing people ending their contracts. Perhaps talks to the culture internally that you are describing

    @virginmedia how hard is it to speak to someone who actually understands the problem I’m having??

    @virginmedia why can't you sync your transmission with the terrestrial or Sky service because my neighbour is ruining these games for me. He screams like a banshee on heat 40 seconds "before" we score. #NORENG
