    @virginmedia Looks like there are issues that need to be resolved hopefully by tomorrow.. Is this something that might be fixed sooner and am I able to seek compensation?

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

    @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

    @_MxMike @virginmedia It’s been down for us since 1am 😫

    @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.

    seiferxin (@seiferxin1) reported from London, England

    @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?

    Connor Dean (@donnorcean) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia have had intermittent issues for over a month now, every time I go down the route of reporting the issue it just says wait 24 hours. How can I speak to someone about this as the phone number never gets me to a person?

    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.

    Jeff Salmon (@JeffSalmon) reported from Camden Town, England

    cont/- Every 2/3 hours you say that it is going to be fixed within three or four hours. It has not. We could not give a **** about £8 compensation per day. You are costing us thousands of pounds in lost revenue for those of us working from home. More @virginhelp @virginmedia

    @virginmedia Hello Virgin Media, I’m trying to pay my monthly broadband bill online but when choosing pay bill it keeps redirecting me to your help page, so I can’t pay atm. When will this be fixed (won’t be paying late fees). Many thanks 🙏

    @virginmedia bring back customer service to the UK. Philippines is a joke!

    @virginmedia what is the number for your complaints department? It seems impossible to actually terminate my contract with you. Am I in the Hotel California?

    Brenda (@joybrenda) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia as you know PR is important to a company. If you want to look good on the public eye and social media. I think you should automatically credit all customers effected by service issues Friday and last night. Hopefully I going to be able to watch the final episode of

    @virginmedia All these problems. But still fleecing money from us.

    Jeff Salmon (@JeffSalmon) reported from Camden Town, England

    Cont… @virginhelp @virginmedia What can be so difficult that a COMPETENT team of engineers can’t fix in these days. The fact is we believe that virgin are a team of incompetents and the time has come for us all to leave Virgin. You are a disgrace.

  • BBLn15
    Helen Reihill (@BBLn15) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia I would not have used these terms as I didn’t know them however I presumed that all the necessary work would be done in the background. Why would I keep the landline with Virgin when I was VERY UNHAPPY with the service provided

  • 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!

  • 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.

    @virginmedia Even this link isn't working. Takes me straight to auto bot/live chat messaging service and there is no one actually responding.

    Richard Hughes has been locked out of his Outlook account. The IT guy is on annual leave. Virgin Media have been doing line maintenance near his house. Real world problems and you’re all laughing at him? For shame.

    @LordDunners @ryantegan @skytv When I wanted to cancel Virgin Media they would not let me. I had to force a cancellation by withholding payment. Yes I got rid of Virgin Media..but it left a nasty “non payment” black mark on my credit rating. So beware!
