  • AndyGixxer46 The Chief (@AndyGixxer46) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia The complaint was about my address in the first place, I was advised you didn't have any forwarding address for me now your saying you have multiple.

  • gorgeousuk anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia When you are using your data in your own house so often, have Netflix, Now and Amazon Prime you pay for that you can’t even use when Broadband are down, you have to ask, what the HELL am I doing with a company that can’t provide a basic bloody service.

  • StefanANASTASE3 Stefan ANASTASESCU (@StefanANASTASE3) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia Hi it’s with Media. Need to cancel subscription to Sky Premier channels and that requires 30day notice, which I haven’t been able to do for the last 30days...and it keeps rolling into another month and so on...

  • gorgeousuk anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia That would imply that I had faith in your services & belief that you cared about your customers. I know from the past that this is not the case. I have already checked and this problem is supposed to be fixed by 3pm, it has been ongoing since 8am. It really is tedious and boring

  • D2SDKATO SD KATO (@D2SDKATO) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia @WJBson1 Maybe try get proper English speaking staff who no how to respect customer it is a disgrace that you use India and Philippines and they cannot even speak a word of English how do you expect us customers to be happy

  • gorgeousuk anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia The deeper check did not work because the internet is down and therefore the check did not work......it’s just so pathetic really

  • StefanANASTASE3 Stefan ANASTASESCU (@StefanANASTASE3) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia hi , have been trying to contact you for the last month. Each time been waiting for 25-30 minutes with no answer. Today after 10min someone answered but said cannot access my account. When I insisted she needed to make a note she cut me off. Awful!

  • D2SDKATO SD KATO (@D2SDKATO) reported from Barnet, England

    @StevenJMead @virginmedia Yeah you can call there India call center who can’t speak a word of English and are very flipping rude

  • HDPMS Hugh Scantlebury (@HDPMS) reported from Kingston upon Thames, England

    @virginmedia Engineer on site. No signal for the “little” channels E4, Channel 5 etc. (others are OK) so he’s in the pit in the street. Presumably therefore not just us....

  • gorgeousuk anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Or maybe that’s wishful thinking. Anyway. We will be considering our options over the weekend and I don’t think we will be staying with VM. Bad service is too regular now

  • AlexanderRyll Kiwi in Barnes (@AlexanderRyll) reported from Richmond, England

    @sharonodea @virginmedia Yes there is a problem with the fibre optic into Barnes, regularly happens to me.

  • RegaloLondon Regalo London (@RegaloLondon) reported from Merton, England

    @virginmedia can you update me pls My broadband and Tivo is not working CR4 postcode #mitcham #merton #internetdown

  • markogrdosic Marko Grdosic (@markogrdosic) reported from Islington, England

    .@virginmedia customer service twice hang up the phone, website says broadband works perfectly in the area, and still there’s no internet and no way to find out from you what’s happening. And still paying the highest bill every month compared to every other provider!

  • rajeevdatta Rajeev Datta (@rajeevdatta) reported from Brentford, England

    @RuislipR @virginmedia Virgin - abysmal. Went with them for a year (for my dad) and it was a disaster from start to finish. Should never have left SKY. Went straight back to them.

  • angelab2711 angela b (@angelab2711) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia Service has literally just been restored so I'm guessing it was just an outage

  • angelab2711 angela b (@angelab2711) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia lost all channels and broadband,tried rebooting to no avail. Service status showing no known issues,service just suddenly stopped. London N16 area

  • hawkes1947 lesley hawkes (@hawkes1947) reported

    @virginmedia So not sure what this engineer is going to be able to do,I’m not sure that anyone I’ve spoken to actually understands what the problem is,they check the serial numbers and tell I only have 1 box attributed to my account

  • simonlevans simon le vans 💙 (@simonlevans) reported

    @virginmedia Eventually. First another light appears on the TiVo box then the routers runs through various configurations of lights. It invariably comes back in less that an hour. However it is the intermittence that is the issue. Every few days this happens.

  • BionicBK Bianca © (@BionicBK) reported

    @virginmedia Hello I’ve had issues with my wifi and landline since yesterday afternoon. It’s a known issue in the area but will you adding any credit to accounts as I’m using up my 4g for work and on my phone whilst at home? Thanks

  • simonlevans simon le vans 💙 (@simonlevans) reported

    @virginmedia If you know why it’s happening and you know you can fix it I’d really rather not bother with the hassle of leaving. However, if Virgin Media is in trouble and it’s infrastructure is falling to pieces I want to know that too.

  • LeeDaws19 Lee Dawson (@LeeDaws19) reported

    @virginmedia No because I cannot get through and the issues are getting worse. This service is appalling

  • Bob_Slaymaker Bob Slaymaker (@Bob_Slaymaker) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for this. So can I confirm that the only way to cancel is by calling virgin or writing them a letter? Can you confirm the options on how to cancel?

  • jodunne66 Joanne Dunne 🐧🐧 (@jodunne66) reported

    @virginmedia Hi - 24 hrs later and still not working - please advise

  • Arcurath Luca (@Arcurath) reported

    @Coach_Stasko @virginmedia big £20 will fix 3 days of outage for sure!

  • dgwilks Darryl Wilks (@dgwilks) reported

    @virginmedia are there any known issues in the CB1 area? Our connection has been regularly dropping out recently and it's particularly bad today. I've rebooted the Hub several times.

  • GMatheson5 G Matheson (@GMatheson5) reported

    @virginmedia We'll be back in the UK late on 14th July. We come to Spain regularly and I need to ensure I find a solution to this as I cannot let it happen again!
