    @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.

    @virginmedia hi, received my new phone. Except there’s no 4G/5G showing up even though I can send messages, go on social media and I can’t access sky bet. Is there any solution to this?

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

    @virginmedia Please as I have been paying for service

  • 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

  • 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

    Andee Byford (@BobCratchitt) reported from City of London, England

    @virginmedia Well I guess as it went down Wednesday afternoon and if all goes well back up tomorrow we will automatically qualify.

    @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??

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

    @virginmedia Hi, yes I did. But still no service before I left home. Online service checker just said problems with TV & Broadband in my postcode area. Currently not at home, but will check upon my return.

  • jfcolomer
    Juan Folgar Colomer (@jfcolomer) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia what's the reason for the intermittent broadband service in the Charlton #SE7 area? Any ETA when this will be solved?

  • _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

    @hellylovesrawk @Ellydoestelly @CTweakThorne Oh no, never at work! This was to Virgin Media, who were clawing onto keeping me as a customer and sending me bills months after I'd cancelled the service!

    @virginmedia this is STILL happening after months my phone number has been incorrectly linked to somebody else’s account and i’m continuing to receive repeated phone calls, payment warnings, suspension notices and account messages intended for another customer despite repeatedly reporting it how has this still not been resolved?

    @virginmedia Hi, i tried to do that. The virgin worker was rude and uncooperative, I ended up putting the phone down

  • perfectme1122
    PerfectMe (@perfectme1122) reported

    @virginmedia Called to cancel contract. Given offer of £32 for 2 years. Checked contract to find it rose to £36 in April ‘27 and £40 in April ‘28. Customer service rep insisted it was inflation rise but contract states it’s in addition to. Contract now cancelled after 15+yrs 😕.

  • kostasbotonakis
    Konstantinos (@kostasbotonakis) reported

    @JamieGBarry @virginmedia Just cancel. Get a 5G internet monthly rolling contract from any mobile provider for 20-30£z Then join Virgin as a new customer the 2nd month, with no migrations or move dates from Sky.

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia All calls are recorded so a complaint would be upheld if any of th things people are saying is actually true.

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia We told British Gas 4 times my grandad died, I couldn't deal with them in the end as I was broken, and had to get my mother to deal with it. The whole bereavement services need looking at.

  • radavies_art
    Richard Davies FRSA (@radavies_art) reported

    Dear @virginmedia I’ve had no TV signal for almost a month. When I contacted you, I was twice left on hold for over an hour; when I finally spoke to someone, I was assured reception would be restored within 24hrs, that was two weeks ago!

    @JamieGBarry @virginmedia Hilarious your being charged at all with service down for a week or two now nationally they should stick some of that cash in the hackers bank so service can resume
