    @virginmedia appalling service. TV been out for 3 days now. Broadband gone this morning. Modem has no lights. You are charging vast sums of money for a useless service.

  • ONLYONEGIBBO GIBBO (@ONLYONEGIBBO) reported from Lee-on-the-Solent, England

    @virginmedia So maybe you need to review your customer service protocols

  • _karolinesofie Karoline Sofie Hennum (@_karolinesofie) reported from Portsmouth, England

    @virginmedia Are you having a lot of trouble with wifi in PO5 area these days? Our wifi has either been down or really slow lately. Today it doesn’t work at all, which is very unfortunate when working from home.

  • mrtbonesenior TboneSenior (@mrtbonesenior) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia internet down again SO16 area???

  • dolb21 Bogdan Dolanescu (@dolb21) reported from Portsmouth, England

    Hi @virginmedia how do i cancel my contract online/email? Without having to have an actual phone conversation. Thanks.

  • PaulineR59 Pauline Richards (@PaulineR59) reported from Southampton, England

    @Virginmedia trying to speak to someone in customer service is joke! On hold for 35 minutes so far!

  • Donny_Tiff 🟡Barry Heaybourne🟡 (@Donny_Tiff) reported from Gosport, England

    @virginmedia broadband and tv down in PO13. It appears to be nationwide as seeing tweets from all over the country. Also, your service status checker is telling me to order a new hub. I guess that this isn’t the problem?!

  • LaurentBergmann Laurent Bergmann (@LaurentBergmann) reported from Totton and Eling, England

    What a complete shambles @virginmedia are, no skills in handling customer services/complaints outrageous in this day!!!

  • davidmale123 David Male (@davidmale123) reported from Portsmouth, England

    @virginmedia make it really hard to cancel my contract can someone please get in touch?

  • StaceyIn2Events Stacey at In2Events (@StaceyIn2Events) reported from Portsmouth, England

    What a shocker, seems @virginmedia are totally inept at any and all forms of customer service, response or acknowledgement, across all media channels. So as a Virgin Media customer essentially be prepared to spend the rest of your life on hold for someone to ignore there too!

  • Celticchorus Liz Havlin (@Celticchorus) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia Yes we checked. No-one would answer phone as you’re so busy with fault complaints. We paid for your top service, over £90 a month. We are now in the midst of moving to Sky because quite frankly, enough was enough with your dreadful service!
