    Please @virginmedia can you change your waiting music. Its the same 4 tracks adnauseum & very poor quality at that. No wonder customers who wait for over an hour hang up. Its enough to drive you mad with these earworms all day.

    Paul Lewis (@paulstevenlewis) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia how do I connect to London Underground WiFi now you have turned off your own hotspots? Hopefully you are not just depriving all Virgin Media customers of the service! Especially as you are putting all your prices up!

  • Barchetta66
    Helen Pinkers (@Barchetta66) reported from Camden Town, England

    Our 4th day of no internet thanks to @virginmedia Can’t talk to a person. Fix date changes three times a day and it’s yet to be fixed. And yet they take a small fortunes out of our account every month.

    @virginmedia - workman cut through my cable, no Wi-Fi, TV or phone and earliest engineer appointment is Monday??! Completely unacceptable! I work from home and have teens! 😭Help!!!

    .@virginmedia hi virgin, we've not had internet all day and absolutely need it for work. Can you give an update for why this is our network status?

  • goonerlgh
    Lawrence ****** 🇺🇦 (@goonerlgh) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia Do you, or could you make a TV box remote for the elderly? Tiny buttons with tinier symbols instead of words, black buttons on black body.... Almost impossible for some older people to use. An OAP version with larger coloured buttons would be such a help!

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

    @themotablogger @virginmedia Terrible in Dagenham too! At least 3 times a day it drops out and normally in the middle of an important meeting! Not good enough!!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • sam_batty

    @virginmedia We’ve been disconnected early. Been trying for nearly an hour on your live chat but no help provided at all. Still waiting.

  • RogerHighfield
    Roger Highfield (@RogerHighfield) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia, your app does not seem to think there's a problem with the internet in area 21. I think different. Can you check?!

  • starmanuk
    Jason Starman QBE 💙 (@starmanuk) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia No issues reported. But 7 houses locally reporting outages on local forums. This is happening frequently.

  • sam_batty
    Sam Batty (@sam_batty) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia Just spend over an hour on live chat/phone. Your service means we’ll be nearly two weeks without internet!

  • BancoDePapa
    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

  • 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?

  • JacobWSmith10
    Jacob Smith (@JacobWSmith10) reported from Camden, England

    @virginmedia @skytv can you please sort out the sky sports app. I cannot login in using my virgin media account. It will not load the password page. I don’t really see why it logs me out periodically in the first place.

    @entrustTMF @virginmedia Whereabouts are you out of interest? My daughter is working from home today at our house and says Virgin broadband has packed up. I'm in hospital for a few days so out of touch but wondering if problems are localised or nationwide. Thanks!

  • mobily_uk
    James Turpin (@mobily_uk) reported

    @virginmedia The dance has started... Had to cancel as the best offer was £130 per month. I have been offered £101 over the phone but still £35 more than current price.

  • daveyt1979
    dave towers (@daveyt1979) reported

    @virginmedia yet again tv is buffering but according to virgin media there are no issues in the Newcastle area Why oh why did I leave bt never had any issues with them !!!

  • Turkish_hackney
    Turkish 🇹🇷 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@Turkish_hackney) reported

    @virginmedia spoke to your customer service not long ago and the person couldn’t understand me. Why do you hire people that don’t understand basic English sorry to say. And your services are rubbish by the way, I will be cancelling

  • entrustTMF
    entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported

    @virginmedia I assumed that by the way they seem to move about so frequently and wildly. What I would REALLY like to know is if somebody is ACTUALLY physically addressing the problem and genuinely working on it? I was asked to DM you yesterday, which I did, but haven't had ANY reply to that

  • entrustTMF
    entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported

    @miaKJKJ22 @Gary1165 @virginmedia Working from home too. A real pain. They told me there was a problem in the area, then made up manifold times that it would be fixed. Often pushing forward the fix by a risible 56 minutes! Then a text yesterday saying it WAS fixed(app said perfect too)...when it obviously wasn't

  • pepetideo
    CrankyGeek (@pepetideo) reported from Oxford, England

    You only know how sitty a service provider relly is when something goes wrong. Was with @virginmedia for over 5 years. Now that i decided to leave they have charged me for 2 months with me already with another provider. After complaining they take 2 months to refund you and now that i sent them their router they somehow misplaced it and charged me 40 quid saying i didnt send it (even thought i had a call last week where i gave them the receipt) If you are their customer.. Get out as soon as possible and remember to block the direct debits. They cannot be trusted with your money.

  • aidan_codtello
    Aidan Costello (@aidan_codtello) reported

    @entrustTMF @virginmedia Needless to say neither of us have ever seen the £50. I had terrible broadband from them for many years and don't know why I was foolish enough to go back.

    Once again @virginmedia goes down Absolutely fed up of this now Shocking service Never used to be like this
