    グラハム・スミス® ©Official (@BancoDePapa) reported from London, England

    @TfL why is the 4G signal on the Central line underground only around the posh area's of Notting Hill Gate, Queensway and Holland Park? Since @virginmedia stopped their WiFi in April it's annoying that a major metropolis like London has no internet connections on a lot of lines

    Virgin Media moving weird. My wifi is working but for certain things. YouTube, IG, Disney+ is all fine but Safari, Twitter and other apps ain’t working. Fix up man. I ain’t paying all this money for daily issues @virginmedia

    @virginmedia The uplink is failing and it’s being denied access to the network as it’s poking and failing

  • RogerHighfield

    @virginmedia My broadband is down again - area21. Any idea of when it will be fixed?

  • 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.

    @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.

    Lloyd Child (@islingtonlloyd) reported from Islington, England

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

  • drawing_daily
    Steven Kraan (@drawing_daily) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia Hello Virgin Media, I’m trying to pay my monthly broadband bill online but when choosing pay bill it keeps redirecting me to your help page, so I can’t pay atm. When will this be fixed (won’t be paying late fees). Many thanks 🙏

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

    @virginmedia Can someone advise how I fix the Wi-Fi pod which isn’t working with my new router - I had to upgrade at extra cost to receive new kit as the lead time was shorter than getting a competitor in #ThisIsWrong

  • elthampalacegay

    Can you please just sort out the broadband issues in SE9 @virginmedia Been ongoing since the 30th with timeline of resolution continually moving out.

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

    Oops! Virgin Media seems to be down in N LDN, or is it just me @virginmedia

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

    @virginmedia I presume so. I was quite clear I wanted to leave Virgin as I was not happy with the services provided even though they tried to keep me as a customer. I feel Virgin are making it as difficult as possible and I am paying for it

  • KikassP
    kikassPhotography(official) 🇬🇧🇺🇦 (@KikassP) reported from London, England

    I've just had to suffer the same 4 songs,1 a poor cover of 'Where my Rosemary goes', on a loop, in 2,45 mins of waiting for @virginmedia to pick up. Within 10 mins of engineer fixing fault, its playing up again. Its also the end of my contract so I want to deal with it.

  • zkhussain
    Zahida (@zkhussain) reported from City of London, England

    @virginmedia can you please answer your phone as I want to cancel my contract. Or give me an alternative number to contact you on.

  • 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.

  • Lisboadolphin71
    Lusitano71 (@Lisboadolphin71) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia no services for all 5 days now! Your customer care is appalling! And, apparently, nothing is wrong, according to your website. Bad!!

  • 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?

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

    @ameehan71 @virginmedia All new and reconnected. 200mb then next day nothing, comes on for a day then drops to 10mb. Talk to customer service and they don't have a clue. They also want over £400 for me to leave. Worst service I've ever known

    Malcolm Sillick (@Malcolm_Sillick) reported

    @LeilaniDowding @EE Lellani, it's not just EE, it's everyone. Even those on cable (Virgin Media) still have to have the phone plugged into the router. Seems like a good idea, until you get a power cut (which can be supported by a back-up battery, which is NOT given as standard) If the internet goes down, then so does your phone. Great if you have a mobile, but if you live in an area with a poor mobile signal, so reply on 'Wi-Fi calling' in the house, then when the internet goes down, you also have no mobile service. It's called progress!!

  • s4m1rk23

    @james_bull8 DM me my brother works for Virgin media - he’ll put your whole package down guaranteed (internet + TV Package). Your getting scammed 😭😭

  • TomJJarvis
    Tom J Jarvis (@TomJJarvis) reported

    @virginmedia I was sold Gig2 2Gbps symmetric in June. The upload was never delivered at the contracted speed. After three separate calls got nowhere, your Faults team corrected it, then applied a £6/month surcharge for the speed I had already bought. 1/

  • declancarty
    Declan Carty (@declancarty) reported

    @IrishTimes Perhaps someone like the excellent Patrick Freyne might investigate why, after all these YEARS, Sky subscribers in the ROI cannot get ITV channels, whilst Virgin Media customers have no probs in doing so. Is it still supposed to be a ‘rights’ issue ????

  • paulpresenteruk
    Paul Hulse (@paulpresenteruk) reported

    Dear @virginmedia I upgraded my package last night to add TV yet I wish to cancel this change due to the price for existing customers which is nearly double to what a new customer would get… I have tried to contact through various methods to cancel.

  • xhatne
    mmhmm (@xhatne) reported

    @Johnty14 @virginmedia Easy solution here, someone should invent a method to get the leaflet through the door, so it ends up in the house, but passers by can't see it so it isn't obvious that nobody is home.

  • stephenm68
    Stephen Maddock (@stephenm68) reported

    Day 35 of absolutely no services from @virginmedia and no useful information about when/if the outage in our area will ever get fixed. Let’s hope that @guardian Consumer Champions will look into this - I’ve just written to them. @Ofcom

  • mairtinofaolain
    Martin Whelan (@mairtinofaolain) reported

    @PaulOBrienKil @VirginMediaNews @VirginMediaIE Currently swapping to Digiweb for broadband. Customer service seems to be their thing. A sales rep from Eir annoyed me with his pushiness, and Virgin Media ain't that great a price anymore

    @virginmedia hi. Your phone service and chat service are both failing after I input my account number.

    @virginmedia please help these people out. You are now aware of the situation and are not providing the service you are being paid for.
