    @virginmedia your internet is beyond garbage. I'm meant to have 200mb line and it's running at 10mb. How do I get services from you that aren't dog ****?

    @virginmedia it’s impossible to contact them with a complaint if you aren’t a customer.

    Michael Collinson (@Mcollinson72) reported from Wakefield, England

    Slow glad to be moving from @virginmedia broadband this Friday. Their advertised speeds used to be unparalleled but since FTTP alternatives becoming available their appalling level of service and refusal to acknowledge or deal with faults has forced a once loyal customer

    Richard Parker (@Ripark114) reported from Pannal, England

    @virginmedia @Ambo2005 I cancelled mine under the 30 day terms (on 3rd try) and my service was immediately disconnected. Now I’m told I have to wait up to 72 hours to be reconnected. Clearly not good enough but what can you do?

    @ReetNortherner4 @DawnSunrise1 @virginmedia They are poor, I was constantly doing "tests" on the line for a month before they agreed to try and fix it. Then later on, they handed our account to Talktalk without proper consultation who were even worse .

    @kaybaka @virginmedia The same happened to me for months. I had just entered a new contract so couldn’t leave! Awful customer service although now my WiFi issues have been resolved the service works well! I dread having another issue though and trying to speak to a human to resolve it!

    Jamie Whalley (@jamiewhalley87) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia I have been trying to get through to your cancellations department since Saturday. In total, I have been on hold for 3 hours. 1 hour intervals before you cut me off. Your txt service is SH*T. Your agent introduced himself as working for Three, before he disconnected

    The Churchill (@Churchill0782) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia do you care to give an update regarding services being down in the WF1 area of Wakefield? You estimate keeps changing which is becoming really annoying!! Literally 1000s of households without an Internet connection. #wakefield #poorservice

    Catherine Gray (@cathgray23) reported from Horbury, England

    @virginmedia We discussed the Oomph package which I initially agreed to then changed my mind within the 14 days, informed the customer service guy, by phone, text and email, he said he would cancel. The engineer came and documented that TV had been refused and therefore didn’t install

    @virginmedia £55 a month JUST for Internet from April? Been a customer for over 20 years when it was £20 a month. Loyalty just gets you taken advantage of I guess.

    sue ellen draper 💙🇺🇦💛 (@suellen2623) reported from Leeds, England

    @O2 and @virginmedia should be ashamed of themselves. 10 tickets per customer is not right. Their loyal honest customers once again miss out thanks to the greedy. As for the websites complete joke should have been prepared for this!!!! #peterkaytickets

    John Mercer (@Merse2506) reported

    @virginmedia Hi I have been a VM customer for many years and have complained about my box s8nce you switched to a WiFi version. I get "buffering" and channel failed messages constantly. This happens and a low bandwidth message appears with tbe graphic even when the channel is still working.

    BigF (@Bigg_F_) reported

    @virginmedia my broadband has been intermittent (mostly off) for the last 4 days. Can’t get through on phone. AI chat only suggests factory reset of hub. Each time I do a status check it says intermittent signal in your area check back in 24 hours. It’s now been 4 DAYS.

  • AngeStevenson
    andrea stevenson (@AngeStevenson) reported

    @virginmedia hi! I keep getting a message saying to upgrade my virgin box to get sky Atlantic - is it easy to install myself, is it a case of using the same wires as my existing box so a quick change over? Also my internet is often very poor, I assume this won’t affect the box?

  • IrvineSparrow
    Irvine sparrow (@IrvineSparrow) reported

    @virginmedia so I’m trying to cancel my contract and I’m speaking to Soyinka Sheffield but their English is so bad I can hardly understand them. Apparently she is the only person that can deal with me. Thank god I’m leaving ( well I hope I am ) !!

  • al_crew
    AL.Crew (@al_crew) reported

    .@virginmedia your award winning broadband in area 06 has not been working since 3rd April... Intermittent signal in your area, 12 hours of broadband & no wifi for 2 weeks is not acceptable, you should be paying compensation for loss of service! #virginmedia

  • laserblue
    Graham Booth (@laserblue) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, it seems my set top box is on the blink and my chances of watching my beloved Man City maybe at risk. I could switch to Nowtv, but that will cost me £15 for a 24hr pass. I've used the tips as featured in the trouble shooting guide. No luck. Can you help? Thanks

    Millions of mobile phone users face data rationing and price hikes after Rachel Reeves excluded telecoms firms from a major energy discount scheme. Chancellor Reeves left VodafoneThree, Virgin Media O2 and EE out of the British Industrial Competitiveness Scheme which gives a 25% cut on electricity bills to thousands of other businesses. Telecoms firms are now facing full 33% energy price rises triggered by the Iran war and are drawing up emergency plans including slowing speeds, restricting data during peak times and charging premiums for heavy usage. One network warned up to 9,000 jobs could be at risk and 5G rollout plans shelved. VodafoneThree said it is “disappointed” and urged the Government to protect the critical digital networks the country depends on. Virgin Media O2 added that if the Government wants growth it cannot overlook the networks Britain relies on.
