  • FolkardSimon Simon Folkard (@FolkardSimon) reported from Colchester, England

    @krista_leia I don't know what to believe anymore, he told me on Sunday that Virgin Media were comping to fix it but it's now so bad i cannot even connect it. I can get wi-fi installed here just for me, but you usually need a phone line and the cost is going to be fairly high.

  • gavmeakings Gav Meakings (@gavmeakings) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia do you have an idea on how Long services will be down in IP2 area?

  • mr_plantgeek Michael Perry Mr Plant Geek® (@mr_plantgeek) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia I am having problems with google nest setup

  • lukeredpath Luke Redpath (@lukeredpath) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia @ruskin147 It’s also affecting your 4G mobile data service so every time your broadband goes down so does the 4G and we lose all of our internet access.

  • Sylviefitz63 Sylvie Fitzgerald (@Sylviefitz63) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia Yes I did.... no comment on the level of service that I received....

  • leezaloops Leeza Morley (@leezaloops) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia Absolutely disgusting service from Virgin. Rang to get refund for sky sports since lockdown and no help whatsoever. And I can’t make a complaint apparently as it will be automatically closed!!

  • FolkardSimon Simon Folkard (@FolkardSimon) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia I have something called a TP Adapter? in my room. When it is able to come through that the signal is brilliant, but for some reason it is not coming through right now.

  • leezaloops Leeza Morley (@leezaloops) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia No I didn’t and I don’t remember receiving one. I have checked all my emails from you and nothing. I rang a couple of days ago to ask for a discount and was basically told to get lost. I spend £100 a month with you guys and was shocked at the service. Account name Lisa Morley.

  • lukeredpath Luke Redpath (@lukeredpath) reported from Colchester, England

    @jasonkneen @virginmedia That page never seems to work for me.

  • only_jokering Adam (@only_jokering) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia all our smart devices are now not responding because "they are too far away from our HUB 3.0". This is according to the diagnostic tool. Thing is, they are the same distance as before, and they used to work on the same router. Help?

  • lukeredpath Luke Redpath (@lukeredpath) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia That was a wired connection. It downloaded in the end (all 92GB), I will keep a lookout for issues.

  • ColletteLynn_ ¢σℓℓєттє ℓуηη мσσяє♥ (@ColletteLynn_) reported from Great Horkesley, England

    @Howard_Norton @Virgin I haven’t even managed to get through to @virginmedia yet despite multiple attempts and long holds to even comment on their actual customer service. The fact they are trying to charge me for something I have cancelled and haven’t used is beyond the joke already! #poorservice

  • lbjdenny Leon Denny (@lbjdenny) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia Issues have been far from fixed!! My router rebooted itself 5 times today. This is not acceptable when I could be working on customer systems attempting to support them with their IT when I can't even rely on my own ISP to deliver a decent service is embarrassing!

  • liam_garwood grwd 🦅 (@liam_garwood) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia I’m having issues with my email on iOS, please help

  • kavi1238 kavi (@kavi1238) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia Can u tell the area status in area 31. On the app it sats all good. But my wifi is turning off and on. And being really ******* slow

  • starbuck2003 Julian Joyce (@starbuck2003) reported from Elmstead Market, England

    @virginmedia Hi i moved house on the 13th Dec and i contacted virginmedia that i would like to close my account. I have yet to have a final bill from yourselves and i had to cancel the direct debit as this would have gone out tomorrow for the full amount!

  • lizdeoli liz de oliveira (@lizdeoli) reported from Sudbury, England

    @virginmedia I have rung twice waited over 2 hours and still can’t sort out a request to cancel an account for someone who has learning difficulties and is escaping domestic violence. Disgraceful

  • FolkardSimon Simon Folkard (@FolkardSimon) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia Sorry i will not be able to as it is the landlord who is the customer. Thanks though i appreciate it.

  • lizdeoli liz de oliveira (@lizdeoli) reported from Sudbury, England

    @virginmedia Amazing how you won’t sort out the problem with the account holder but you’ll speak to someone else about the account without the account holder’s permission!

  • PaulEmmett2 Paul Emmett (@PaulEmmett2) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia Bout time, been having problems for the last week, even when I spoke to someone on phone and via text services I was informed there is no problem and I will have to put up with it

  • jools2009 Julie M 😇😹😷🌈 (@jools2009) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia I’m through to someone now. But we’re definitely cancelling. The service on this matter has been severely lacking since set up in September and to be frank we can get him a better package with Sky.

  • CunliffeTina Tina Cunliffe (@CunliffeTina) reported

    @virginmedia Same it cut out last night after 10pm

  • Mark49664171 Mark (@Mark49664171) reported

    @virginmedia Ridiculous. My service has never been worse. Virgin customer service gave me 3 different reasons for the issue. Cant believe I'm paying for this. Hope my service is good enough for this tweet to get through!!! #crapbroadband

  • lukehooverhead Luke Hooverhead (@lukehooverhead) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia your customer service for existing customers is terrible. I’ve been trying to get hold of you to downgrade my tv package as I’m paying way over the odds. I can’t afford it, yet you still keep taking my money.. I can’t get hold of anyone on the website, or phone

  • Mark49664171 Mark (@Mark49664171) reported

    @virginmedia My average speed over the last 2 weeks has been about 5mbs with intermittent connection. 1st reason was an update, 2nd was a fault and 3rd was a router error. No solution was ever suggested. I asked for a call back 2 days ago but still not received.

  • AlexWaldram Alipallypoodledoodle (@AlexWaldram) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. Yes thank you I’ve been trying this. Usually on hold for around 60-90 minutes before I get cut off. The box has been out of action since mid December so I’m paying for a service I don’t have. Is there any other way to cancel other than to call?

  • ChloeWhytee Chloe⚪️ (@ChloeWhytee) reported from Shoreham-by-Sea, England

    @virginmedia hi, I’ve tried to contact via chat as I can’t call and I wait about an hour then give up, is there anyway someone can help me on here?

  • lauren39745089 lauren (@lauren39745089) reported

    @virginmedia Shocking customer service! I want to leave virgin but I can't. It should not be so difficult. I can't understand why you need so much personal information to cancel, why I am leaving, my new address?!? Why.

  • JasonLanns Jason (lanzi) (@JasonLanns) reported

    @curtiscrockett @RichieZuLuBatch @virginmedia I’m not either but if they don’t fix my issues I’m sure it’s breach of contract?

  • ST81 Simon (@ST81) reported

    @virginmedia I AM STILL WITHOUT YOUR SERVICE WHICH I PAY FOR. WHEN WHOMEVER GETS TO YOUR TWITTER ACCOUNT YOU BETTER SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE TOWARDS A RESOLUTION BECAUSE SO FAR YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING, AND YOUR CS DOES NOTHING AS THEY SAY THEY CANNOT AS NO FAULT FOUND WHEN THEY CHECK.
