  • markatpt
    Mark Armstrong (@markatpt) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia You didn’t reach out sadly and I’ve now cancelled the installation. Having spoken to someone clearly at home with her baby screaming in the background I have zero confidence that you are able to help us.

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

    @virginmedia I would not have used these terms as I didn’t know them however I presumed that all the necessary work would be done in the background. Why would I keep the landline with Virgin when I was VERY UNHAPPY with the service provided

  • _Lewis_A
    Lewis Allen ⚒ (@_Lewis_A) reported from London, England

    So @virginmedia won't let me leave our contract despite their service continually crashing or not providing the speed it promises. Ultrafast broadband but getting nothing or 9mb download. Fed up with it now. Avoid them at all costs. #VirginMediaoutage #broadband

  • tripodmatt
    Matrim Red Hand (@tripodmatt) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia hello - I'm moving house and was told I'd receive something to post back your equipment. Nothing yet. I tried to call but was cut off. Any help?

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

    @virginmedia It’s arranged (3rd time) for engineer visit tomorrow 4-7pm…. I just hope they don’t randomly cancel again

  • farnsworth_adam
    Adam Farnsworth (@farnsworth_adam) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia It’s appalling they can act so quickly What about the speed issue?

  • LutherB40510976
    Luther Blissett (@LutherB40510976) reported from London, England

    @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.

    @_MxMike @virginmedia It’s been down for us since 1am 😫

  • ChristineAllado
    Christine Allado (@ChristineAllado) reported from London, England

    .@virginmedia hi virgin, we've not had internet all day and absolutely need it for work. Can you give an update for why this is our network status?

  • WilsonJevelyn
    Dr Jan Evelyn-Wilson (@WilsonJevelyn) reported from London, England

    @VirginMedia wi-fi just cut out AGAIN! Annoying when one is in the middle of something. WHY!

  • g_neale
    Geoff Neale (@g_neale) reported from Camden Town, England

    @premierinn no Free WiFi or Ultimate WiFi at Premier Inn Euston. Twitter has lots of other complaints of the same issue nationally… why I am asked to speak to Virgin Media, how hard can it be? Forget Network does not force the page to reload, what else can I do?

  • emmalouchu
    Emma Churcher-Holt (@emmalouchu) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia No, I have TV service only and the live chat agent said I would get the compensation form.

  • blackheathma
    Amanda Birrell (@blackheathma) reported from London, England

    @MartinSLewis It is the worst company I have ever dealt with and I’m now actively discouraging others to use Virgin Media. Cancelling is also very difficult and deliberately so

  • sharlewis58
    Shar 💙 #IStandWithUkraine (@sharlewis58) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia the tv connection has had a fault since 8th June. You are "working on it", & each day checking status the date to fix is moved further away. You do not refund for lack of service why is that? And text updates are not received. And its STILL not working.

  • elthampalacegay
    royal 🌈 (@elthampalacegay) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I’m going to get disciplined in work as I don’t have internet connection. Who can my employer speak with to confirm this is a virgin issue??

  • michaelsamuels4
    SA Punk (@michaelsamuels4) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia I have no phone signal so no WiFi. Webchat not working. Any suggestions?

  • MisterLeeDaniel
    Mr Lee Daniel (@MisterLeeDaniel) reported from London, England

    Please could @virginmedia on 0330 303 5309 stop calling me, then immediately hanging up. That’s rude. I’ve now blocked your number.

  • islingtonlloyd
    Lloyd Child (@islingtonlloyd) reported from Islington, England

    Nope, not just me. Hurry up & fix it @virginmedia , I want to watch the game in UHD

  • goonerlgh
    Lawrence ****** 🇺🇦 (@goonerlgh) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia Do you, or could you make a TV box remote for the elderly? Tiny buttons with tinier symbols instead of words, black buttons on black body.... Almost impossible for some older people to use. An OAP version with larger coloured buttons would be such a help!

  • emmalouchu
    Emma Churcher-Holt (@emmalouchu) reported from Camden Town, England

    @BBCWatchdog I was without TV service with Virgin Media for over a week this month, could only use chat bot, eventually a live chat with a person because I took to twitter, but they couldn't help me either. Still waiting for the comp form they said would come automatically.

  • entrustTMF
    entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported

    @miaKJKJ22 @Gary1165 @virginmedia Yes, agreed, it's usually well known about general outages. Annoying though when they say it's all fixed in your area and the service checker says all OK at you property when it clearly isn't 😬

  • man_simulator
    SimulatorMan (@man_simulator) reported

    Just had to cancel virgin media fibre after 2 months, constantly dropping out and some times for hours, had to go back to sky which I wish we had not left now

  • rebecca_ryder21
    Rebecca Ryder 💙 (@rebecca_ryder21) reported

    @virginmedia we have been trying to call you for ages but it keeps saying wrong number when they answer the phone and after we put in all the details. Please help.

  • entrustTMF
    entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported

    @virginmedia OK, leaving aside the fact it seems pretty poor that I haven't had a reply from the original agent for four days now I'm happy enough to send a repeat of it IF I don't need to faff about going through security yet AGAIN? IF I do-I'll just wait for a reply to the original DMs. OK?

  • MsHeadshot
    MissHeadShotTV (@MsHeadshot) reported

    @virginmedia We want to sign up but you are saying there is already a order with this address and that you would contact us and you never did.

  • emmathompy
    Emma Thompson (@emmathompy) reported

    @virginmedia I've also tried to call your customer service helpline but it doesn't appear to recognise my account number so I can't even get through to anyone!

  • DavMichael
    mike davies (@DavMichael) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve been sent a new router and it won’t let me connect any devices to it it’s a hub 5. I followed the instructions on the box to the letter. I’ve tried ringing the support number on the box which is completely automated and useless. Any advise ?
