    @virginmedia really let down by Virgin media. I'm on M200 and am getting 50M at the mo. As low as 0.18M around 7pm and 10M around 8pm. Your customer service chat hasn't responded in 3hrs. I've reset router and changed channels. It's been patchy all week What am I paying for?

    @virginmedia I sent you the screengrab, it says “your mailbox is not available at the moment”. Can you confirm what the issue is with your mail server?

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

    @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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • SandraS80775853
    Mary (@SandraS80775853) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia This issue has been going on since August. Loss of power for hours on end is adding up to several days. I am currently on hold which I've been doing for 30 minutes. Shocking @Se7 residents please take note of @virginmedia

    @virginmedia 3 hours of online chat and I’m still haven’t managed to cancel my subscription. Why is it so difficult??

  • 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.

    @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

  • 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

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

  • mariesnotcool
    Mariachiara (@mariesnotcool) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia we’ve had no service in EC1V London, since our Wi-Fi was installed last month. We’ve tried to call countless time and we keep being told about “area issues” that would be solved the day after but never do. This is just unacceptable behaviour!

  • joybrenda
    Brenda (@joybrenda) reported from London, England

    @DannyMonez @virginmedia Yes sat down to watch final episode of " and just like that " and the screen is pixels all across. Just tried to watch on catch up is the same. Virgin Media i want a refund how can this be fixed. Can you tell me when sky will repeat this final episode.

    @virginmedia 3 times in the last 2 days my broadband has been down for, around 5 hours this morning and again for the past hour! Get your **** together before I move to different provider along with a lot of other people. Don’t even offer any compensation for an outage, shocking!

    More horrendously bad service from @virginmedia. Broadband in SR2 out AGAIN, estimated to be off for three days and website says you need to register the fault to qualify for compensation while offering no way to do so.

    @virginmedia Hi telling me have see blueyonder account I can’t even rember that account so can’t eve. Sign in

  • kevinclarknw
    Kevin Clark (@kevinclarknw) reported

    @virginmedia Not good enough, I'm afraid. This is just the latest outage in recent weeks. The siuation appears to be getting worse, not better. We are paying for a service you are not providing and incurring additional costs through being unable to work from home.

    @NicolaG01 @virginmedia My experience of Virgin has always been they suffer from technical issues. Many is the time in the past I have called them, they have told me to do things at my end which I know will achieve nothing... and then it magically works!
