@virginmedia hi, since we’ve upgraded to 1gb and hub 4 we’ve had problems connecting @Tesla M3 to WiFi. Advised the Plume mesh might fix it and we can receive FOC but been out of stock all year it seems. Any idea when they might be back in stock to try and fix our issues please?

@virginmedia Yes, everyone is sorry and everyone understands but no one wants to help. I still haven’t cancelled and you ask me to pay early cancellation fees after raising the prices. If not talking about the current contract I stayed a customer for almost 4 years even with the abuse I got.

@ThatLyndsey @priddy @virginmedia We sent it as advised as a tracked delivery with proof of postage. That's why it's £11. And they're charging £10 admin fee to disconnect our phone line. Absolutely shambolic service. #utilitywarehouse

@virginmedia seems to supply only just above half of the country, but if you change address to an area they don't supply YOU have to pay £240 exit fee. Do not use them if you can't see into the future and know for sure that you will never move. Insane!

@virginmedia Morning! So I checked the app for status and was fine, but on the website it said known issue all services. So I subscribed to the SMS alerts and it was "back" at 22:03. Hopefully it stays that way!

@virginmedia No there isn’t and the only issue is with audio description, it’s driving me mad. I’ve switched it off but it makes no difference.

@virginmedia is trying to charge me an exit fee of £240 because I am changing address. I would continue with their service, except THEY don't supply the new address. How is this OK? How is such a large company getting away with such a brazen scam. Wow!

@virginmedia such bad service from day one, nothing but problems and frustrations, an active complaint now been running for all of 2021 and so far I’ve received no contact, I have called in at least 6 times each time I get promised it will be sorted but still waiting? Shocking!!

@coopersalty I strongly suggest you invest in Sky or Virgin media then. Having an old TV with only 5 channels is the problem here!!

In addition to the cost of a new home that I have to furnish fully top to bottom, @virginmedia is trying to charge me £240 exit fee when THEY don't supply the new address. This is seriously getting me down. I can't even afford necessities.

@botherer @virginmedia @theTRUESPEED Absolutely. My father-in-law cancelled his contract in April 2022. In Sept we realise they were still taking money from him. It was only *this week* that we finally got them to stop. We hope. My wife has spent approx 10 hours on the phone and awful online chat trying to sort.

@virginmedia I was told they would call me after their dinner break. I need this call back because virgin has told @netflix that I no longer want the service when I never asked for the disconnection. I have no Netflix as we speak and I want it reinstated today

Virgin media system is down. Guess the cancellation of the TV package will have to wait. Next stop, the License fee.

@virginmedia Am trying to get a broadband account sorted out. For some reason, it sounds massively complicated to get a small detail changed, so we may have cancel.

@LouiCM_ @virginmedia There is your problem, never use their equipment Put the router into Modem mode, buy your own router (netgear nighthawk works well) and problem solved. Can find tutorials online on how to do it. (Virgin even tell you how on their forums)
