  • Paul_Ilett Paul Ilett, Author (@Paul_Ilett) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @fingers_terry @virginmedia I hope so. I’d hate to have to cancel my subscription.

  • AndythePlank TheTraveller🇬🇧 (@AndythePlank) reported from South Ockendon, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia trying to home school our child, WiFi is crap!

  • jooz282 Julie McCarthy (@jooz282) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia It was a little more than short lasting pixelation! The channel kept dropping completely and during the main fight it felt like we were watching in slow motion.

  • moleyfozz paul fouracre (@moleyfozz) reported from Rochester, England

    @MrG48 @virginmedia Yep. Turned it all off once came back ok but very hit and miss tonight. Good job not working from home at the moment.

  • samanthadoe1 Samantha Doe (@samanthadoe1) reported from Canvey Island, England

    Having real problems with our broadband dropping out regularly @virginmedia. Any known issues in the SS8 area?

  • NicklessColin Colin Nickless (@NicklessColin) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia broadband down again in Southend. Had to pay for a BT WiFi day pass so my wife can continue working from home.

  • TMFeeG THE FEE MG! 👩🏻 (@TMFeeG) reported from Maidstone, England

    @virginmedia You just turned up at my fathers door 6 months after you uninstalled your service following my mother’s death to collect your equipment which you took with you when it was uninstalled. Your rep (David Khan) was very rude to him.

  • lewis_adam_ Adam | Lewis (@lewis_adam_) reported from Ditton, England

    @virginmedia Tbh just looking in to cancelling the current package, nothing but ongoing problems with Virgin Media and impossible to talk to someone on the phone without going on hold for hours and even they they can’t resolve issues. Issues stemming back 5years now! 😠

  • pauldee74 Paul Dwyer (@pauldee74) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia a new contract then told one would be sent in 24 hours and still waiting 3 days later! been on text message for over 6 hours this week! and today just keep getting terri triage bot!!!!! any chance of some help or do I have to be a new customer!!!!

  • wharfyoung jordan (@wharfyoung) reported from Wateringbury, England

    @virginmedia Oh now this is the clincher, I can’t make a complaint online because the account has been disconnected. So when I login it tells me I don’t have access to that page. It’s almost like VM don’t want disgruntled former customers tearing them a new backside in their complaints.

  • moleyfozz paul fouracre (@moleyfozz) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia since you upgraded me for free to intelligent wifi, ive lost all signal upstairs arghhh. How can i switch back?

  • goonergeek2000 Gary Thompson (@goonergeek2000) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia right I’ve just about had enough of virgin customer services. Cancelled service on 10 December. Today find out account is live after logging in. On hold four times for over 45 minutes. Latest on hold for 1hr 19 minutes. Call gets answered then cut off! What the hell

  • Dearnormajeane lindsay wood (@Dearnormajeane) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @kelseybytheway @virginmedia Second this so ******* hard. Diagnostics dont do **** when the issue is with the hardware itself

  • SETimberDamp South East Timber & Damp (@SETimberDamp) reported from Maidstone, England

    Hanging on now for over an hour to @virginmedia after being sold a router for a new flat that I told them had a BT phone socket. Trying to #cancel as landlord wont have additional sockets. Lady put us in hold/SILENT for 55mins - they are hoping we disconnect. #virginmedia

  • samanthadoe1 Samantha Doe (@samanthadoe1) reported from Canvey Island, England

    @virginmedia Yes and there are/were no known broadband issues showing in the area on the service page

  • elise_john85 Elise (@elise_john85) reported from Maidstone, England

    Awesome, so effectively @virginmedia raise current loyal customers prices to fund the discount new customers can get in their sale. Roll on buying my own house and not being tied to them anymore. 12 years of this crap!

  • Winclouduk 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈Simon Winstanley 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@Winclouduk) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia is there internet issues in the Medway area?

    @virginmedia Service**

  • awesomedawson1_ Ben Dawson (@awesomedawson1_) reported

    @virginmedia There’s no faults. These issues have been ongoing for over a year. Upgraded to 200mbps and still struggle. The problem has always been the constant drop in connection. Now we just want out the contract because we’re pretty sure another company could offer a more reliable device

  • coopsrun Chris Cooper (@coopsrun) reported

    @virginmedia chat service and moving house service is the driving me up the wall

  • Peter_Ledwith Peter (@Peter_Ledwith) reported

  • willows123 Callum Dye (@willows123) reported

    Your customer service might be absolutely dog shite but the playlist you play when you’ve got someone on hold has a few toe tappers @virginmedia

  • KupeliogluArda Arda Kupelioglu (@KupeliogluArda) reported

    @virginmedia I am a UK broadband customer. Its been only 10days. Worst customer service website ever! Not sure how to remove add on or even to send a simple email to explain. Chat / Phone takes ages to get a response. #COMPLAINT
