    Hi @virginmedia. I've just spent 1.5 hours/3 calls on the phone with you to cancel my contract due to moving flats. Each time the line went mute after a long wait and eventually disconnected. Please fix your service! Thanks.

    Less than two weeks on from having to wait a week to get my wifi back up & running, here we are again. No service (Battersea) and 4 days wait for an engineer @virginmedia I deserve to be compensated. This is ridiculous and unworkable. #virginmedia

  • pisaint
    pi (@pisaint) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia Hi yes now I have it says there are issues… no timescale given though

  • domoriley
    Dom O'Riley (@domoriley) reported from Esher, England

    @virginmedia And would you believe it @virginmedia you sent me a text to say engineering would be here todayto fix and haven’t even turned up after calling me to say buoy would as well

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

    @virginmedia a text to say there may be disruption to services is not the same as no wifi or TV since 8am and not expected back on until 4pm?! Can’t speak to anyone on the phone either! Not acceptable especially when I am having to cancel important work meetings?! Furious!

  • alirah1986
    Ali Rahman (@alirah1986) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia absolutely ridiculous from virgin media **** Servis, unprofessional staff, No net for 11 days, no help, 4 times phone been put down. Thieves

  • ABSiddiki
    Abu Siddiki (@ABSiddiki) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Well…either an early cancellation or resolve the issue that I am having at your expense and not mine :)

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

    @virginmedia Not expecting a fault free service but an entire day with no Wifi when working from home is not acceptable in the slightest! The texts said some disruption not no service at all? Compensation is required!

  • Maria_Wilder
    Miss Wilder (@Maria_Wilder) reported from Kingston upon Thames, England

    @virginmedia I did. 3 calls to be precise. There seems to be a tech issue on your end which keeps hanging up on callers....I can't afford to lose any more hours, so I've resorted to writing a letter instead. Thanks.

  • H33ZE
    Richard Heasman (@H33ZE) reported from Merton, England

    @virginmedia Broadband in SM4 area has been down today since around midday and went down yesterday afternoon too. Actually saw a Virgin Media engineer on our road on a green box and he advised that it was all working again. Service status also currently advises no issue!!

  • derrickca
    Del 🌈 (@derrickca) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia Having had a quick read of the forum it looks like it’s a common problem. Several call outs happened without results.

  • pisaint
    pi (@pisaint) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia Yes I have it shows no issue. Yet when i call it says there is. Why can you never speak to anyone at Virgin? 90% of channels show W02 error message

  • lucyfrancis_tri
    lucy francis (@lucyfrancis_tri) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia your engineer has come in today, replaced the router + connections outside. wifi speed is painfully slow and keeps cutting out. I keep checking service status for my area 15 + running test. I’m working from home! What is the issue and when will it be fixed?

  • Neilz1
    🙌 N E I L 🙌 (@Neilz1) reported from Brentford, England

    @virginmedia We have had no phone service for 4 days in the NW9 area are you able to see if engineers will be fixing this issue urgently?

  • StephenHance1
    Stephen Hance (@StephenHance1) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia Nobody has said anything. They said they would fix it at last and then they left leaving the box in pieces in the flower bed and with no phone signal.

  • k_veves
    Konstantinos Veves (@k_veves) reported from Ealing, England

    @1Drubsy @virginmedia I have already filed a monitoring request for @virginmedia with Ofcom and submitted a complaint with CISAS. I had enough of them. They must face the consequences of their actions and I will not stop until this is done.

    Hey @virginmedia do you have an online chat facility? I have a relative in hospital who needs to speak to you about their services but the phone signal is bad so can't speak but they are connected to wifi

  • MichaelAlanHunt
    The Michael Hunt (@MichaelAlanHunt) reported

    Why doesn't @virginmedia let you choose what your marketing preferences are any more? Its either marketing by all channels or no marketing. I wouldn't mind postal or email marketing, but not any phone or text marketing. Shoddy customer service Virgin Media

  • Tammy88B
    Tammyb (@Tammy88B) reported

    @virginmedia Yet another loss of service. Estimated fix of 4pm. Is it worth keeping my fingers crossed????

  • King__Guy10
    Guy (@King__Guy10) reported

    @virginmedia Most rooms in my house my signal just cuts off entirely. And all I’m told is that if the virgin connect app doesn’t detect it then it’s fine. But if you would like to come over and see less that 1mb in rooms other than where my router is then at least you will know it’s not right

  • John_Walshaw
    Johnny (@John_Walshaw) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks Virgin for leaving me with no Internet at home for 3 days and with no ETA after 3 phone calls, Wouldn't be so bad but i can see the fault in my garden with my eyes I don't think you'd even need to come inside.

  • mrChimps
    Kev Hegarty (@mrChimps) reported

    @virginmedia Yep. Says no problems and get into a look of self fix. Finally managed to book and engineer for Tues

  • LKEW84
    Laura (@LKEW84) reported

    @virginmedia There is nothing showing wrong with service updates, everything keeps coming back saying there are no problems. And then the WiFi cuts out again and I have to reset everything AGAIN! I want an engineer to come and fix it

  • dcowley19692
    DaCow (@dcowley19692) reported

    @virginmedia Virgin are a joke for customer service. I was told I would be sent a WiFi booster and subsequently told I should phone to order one. Suggest everyone raising a complaint with the regulator. The person on the phone event told the engineer should send me the booster.

  • dcowley19692
    DaCow (@dcowley19692) reported

    @virginmedia Still no response - Virgin media are a joke for customer service. Please can you advise who you are regulated by as I will escalate to them?

    ToonJules (@juliegreener) reported

    @virginmedia Called 150, there are no options apart from moving to another supplier! Long term customer very disappointed with the service.
