    Connor Dean (@donnorcean) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Still cutting in and out as it has been for many weeks… no local area issues listed anywhere. Have been trying to get ahold of someone for weeks now but just keeps looping in the app, really frustrating

    Mark Armstrong (@markatpt) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia you have now postponed an installation scheduled for 4th November to Christmas Eve! Can’t see that happening. Maybe someone actually based in the UK might bother to contact me about this? Minded to cancel otherwise. Not acceptable service.

  • MisterLeeDaniel
    Mr Lee Daniel (@MisterLeeDaniel) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Stop calling me then hanging up. That’s rude.

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

  • 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?!

  • squeakytoy
    Steven Peterson 🏳️‍🌈 (@squeakytoy) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia I’ve already terminated my service with you since you were unable to get it installed in less than a month.

  • zkhussain
    Zahida (@zkhussain) reported from City of London, England

    @virginmedia can you please answer your phone as I want to cancel my contract. Or give me an alternative number to contact you on.

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

    @virginmedia @Miss_SKM That is correct. What it does not cover is the persistent loss of service since August!!! #se7. Nor does it cover the absolute woeful customer services, and I use that phrase lightly, which @virginmedia is able to offer.

    @journokeith @virginmedia Good as in they acknowledged your existence was what I meant. That's how their "customer services" is set up, they don't have the staff based in the UK to deal with it and all they can do is what they are doing.

    @thatmisterj @virginmedia I'm so sick of it I WILL be leaving Virgin. No-one picking up phone, Just saying there appears to be an intermittent fault. Well No **** Sherlock, I already know that. A dumb text telling me to do what I've already done. I'm not thick Virgin I just want the service I pay for.

    @virginmedia your service checker isn’t working. Can you please advise of service issues in the N1 area as the broadband has gone down again? Thank you.

    @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

  • 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

  • KikassP
    kikassPhotography(official) 🇬🇧🇺🇦 (@KikassP) reported from London, England

    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.

  • BeckyKellyNews
    Becky Kelly (Göllner) (@BeckyKellyNews) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia He has tried this and every time it just reverts to an automated bot response that doesn’t accept/understand /respond to his request to cancel. I need another way. As it’s proving impossible and stressful

    @virginmedia internet down second day in a row, when will it work again?

  • 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.

    @Derek959Derek @RayJones34 All the big 3 providers do it via the Good Things Foundation, apart from EE and BT who have there own arrangements for helping with data poverty. These help people on benefits so official status and a NI number is needed . Virgin Media O2 Vodaphone 3 do it via Databank .

    @virginmedia @Carolestfc1 Cancel the subscription as not fit for purpose! Either that or a refund is the least you should expect.
