    Be careful if you ever want to cancel a @virginmedia account, I wrote to them, twice as per their T&C because you can never get through on chat or phone, they deny receipt of letters because you cant send recorded delivery so they just keep sending bills and chasing payments

    @virginmedia Hi, the VMGo app is telling me I need to upgrade to watch live tv but I’ve got the right package to have access and have until today watched live via the app. Is there an issue? Tried restarting it etc.

  • jfcolomer

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

  • WhiskyOneIce
    Mark 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@WhiskyOneIce) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia Yes I have chased and chased and spent 4 hours today on WhatsApp, no advise just can't help because I have outstanding bill....no the line isn't active because it was ported over to Community Fibre on 8th July

  • WhiskyOneIce
    Mark 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@WhiskyOneIce) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia It's okay I've taken it up with CEDR now and let them resolve it, I'm just highlighting to people how difficult it is to cancel contracts and the fact that VM consistently "loose" letters

  • WhiskyOneIce
    Mark 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@WhiskyOneIce) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia Obviously i don't have proof because your site doesn't say send recorded so why would i, my number was ported in July and I wrote same time, I have no reason to not send letter and you can see from any data usage that I stopped using your service

    This is what I get for being a customer for over 8 continuous years and then 5 years before that. This is awful customer service by Virgin media. #Virginmedia @virginmedia

  • macon1375
    Mark Connolly (@macon1375) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia They advise they would send a signal to router, I then turn off after 5 mins, for 10 mins and when back on all will be working! Well it didn’t make a difference and my speed test shows my downloads dropped from 236mbs to 36. The issue is uploads tho at 0.5mbps. On hold again!

    @virginmedia Hi. Have no wifi (green light) and despite rebooting several times have a had no luck. This has happened after following your instruction to reboot for ‘faster speed’. Please advise asap - no issues in the area according to your website.

    @IanSlaterPhoto1 @VixThatRuns I have a sizeable Samsung. Ditched Virgin Media, the plan was to have Freeview. The tv doesn’t support Freeview!

    @virginmedia not on all channels, I’ve turned the box off and very much doubt I’ll be turning it back on with such a poor service lately

  • DagsJT
    Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia I don’t have a landline or a Virgin phone, I don’t want to rack up a huge phonebill calling you to sort out an issue on your side. I’ve now performed a factory reset and still not working. So I’ve ran the broadband test from my Virgin Media page and it says the equipment is off.

  • gmanzie
    graham manzie (@gmanzie) reported from Dundee, Scotland

    @virginmedia cant get broadband connected been flashing green for an hour and a half even though when i check my services it sats there are no problems with the broadband seevice in my area

    Tricky (@trickyvondickie) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia trying your text service now

  • keithward329
    keith nigel ward (@keithward329) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @virginmedia kept on phone for about an hour, no answer, TV faults for over a month in the Bournemouth area, answering the phone would help or get proper engineers to work for you, as being owned by a yank company, obviously don't give a toss, cancelling DD

  • kellydyke08

    @virginmedia checked the website apparently no issues in my area, yet tv and WiFi keeps going off 👎🏻👎🏻

    Liam (@TheLumster) reported from Plympton, England

    @virginmedia - in the phone re-arranging my package! Service agreed, operative transferred me and there I sat for 1 hour! Rang back - waited 15 mins for another operative so I rang off. #PissPoor

  • nigelrandall55
    Nigel randall (@nigelrandall55) reported from Royal Tunbridge Wells, England

    @virginmedia Sorry no help at all , service in my area tells me broadband is good ! But hub is flashing green with green arrows as well I have tried everything from the help contact .

  • brucerisk
    bruce findlay (@brucerisk) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia Trying to raise a complaint is made extremely difficult when you're put on hold for 26 minutes and then get cut off as the phone also breaks down. Virgin really need to fix their @virginmedia services, before attempting space travel.

  • HBurnett28
    Helen Burnett (@HBurnett28) reported from Bradford, England

    @virginmedia your service is absolutely pathetic, and been in a queue 20 minutes to speak to someone. Absolutely crap service all the way round.
