    Neil Cairns (@neilcairns) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia @EGX virginmedia where can I email to complain? My VirginMedia Box won’t let me delete a number of things and my Internet is patchy at best! £83 a month for this ****? Every time you call you people you’re on hold or cut off!

  • DanielFry23
    Daniel Fry (@DanielFry23) reported from Filton, England

    @bt_uk No need to Matt, appreciate your concerns I’m just saying your service currently is the same level as virgin media who I’m with which always cuts in and hot. Too many users using the overcrowded boxes

  • bethkorf
    Beth Ryan (@bethkorf) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia Its done now but fairly sure it shouldn't take your agents 45 mins to cancel sky and bt sports and change the TV package to the basic. Maybe more training or better systems are needed. Just saying Sky took about 3 minutes to cancel BT sports for me a year or so ago #competitors

  • gillih
    Gill Harrison (@gillih) reported from Portishead and North Weston, England

    @virginmedia John I have done all that already. And it’s not worked. I have spoken with my IT support and they confirm this is a problem with your servers. How are you proposing to sort this out for me please?? I’m paying for a service @virginmedia is not providing.

    @virginmobileuk @virginmedia hi I ordered a phone on the 29 July not heard anything until yesterday then order was done but no credit agreement received phone call to you again for an hour today no resolution call handler said he would call back still no call 😩

  • neilcairns
    Neil Cairns (@neilcairns) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Yes. Powered down, switched off etc etc. Why would only certain content not delete and other content delete fine? Doesn’t make sense?

  • CloudHQ
    Mark Andres (@CloudHQ) reported from Bristol, England

    Internet outage in Bristol BS14 / BS4 @virginmedia please give a status update

  • lazy__goth
    Tiffany (@lazy__goth) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia No, it doesn’t, and the internet goes down again within hours, usually in the evening when I presume there’s high usage. We’re in a loop - report issue, told issue is resolved, issue happens again.

  • burdmiester
    Paul Burdon (@burdmiester) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia Totally shocking services again, tried web chat messaging etc crap. Speed test less that 12 mbps, paying for 100mbps 🤯🤯🤯 What are you going to do it In off after 20+ years of pain, no more!

  • chrisandobe
    Chris (@chrisandobe) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia That's a shame. Virgin SIM card was so much better and better customer service. I will probably change to a different phone network as soon as I can

  • AcuharmonyUK
    Acuharmony-UK (@AcuharmonyUK) reported from Clevedon, England

    @virginmedia No reported issues. Tried the fixes before, and so did virgin chat. Not just my handset, other people are having the same problem. Am I going to have to change networks, is that what you're saying? Due to the change to O2?

  • AndyMWilcox
    Andy Wilcox (@AndyMWilcox) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia My broadband keeps disconnecting. This is my 4th time contacting and it gets worse each time you apparently fix something. Please can you fix it. I cannot work at home and I’ve just been booted out of your online chat to resolve the problem!

    Sean Lewis (@brizzlesean) reported from Yate, England

    Honestly, #virginmedia , #Fortnite AND #rocketleague down on the same day?! My son has pretty much had an emotional breakdown.

  • tinabadley
    Tina Badley (@tinabadley) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Same as about a month ago. Said I need to enter password. But doesn't work. Have tried resetting password. Still no good. Webmail says can't access my emails right now. And when I go to the sign in page it has my name as 'Jackie' top right though the main page says 'Hi Tina'.

  • RedWoodyLFC
    DavidJWood (@RedWoodyLFC) reported from Bristol, England

    @SteTinsley @virginmedia Mind you its been up and down like a ****** draws all day Got very little work done

  • _dreamer_
    Pilar Gómez (@_dreamer_) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Actually, the new owners are porting their virgin contract here, if the contract is per property, and it will be Virgin providing the service, that would mean we DON'T have to pay the fee right?

  • BRFCSamuel
    Sam 🏴‍☠️ (@BRFCSamuel) reported from Kingswood, England

    .@virginmedia telling us to sit and wait for 24 hours without internet just incase our Wi-Fi starts working again before they’ll actually do anything, great customer service… not 👍🏻

  • KieranTrvlr
    Kieran Traveller 🛫 🏰🚢 (@KieranTrvlr) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia I have, and I get an automated service that hangs up on me after sending a text. I just want to order wifipods. I’ve tested the speed in the app, but it’s not allowing me to do anything. Chat doesn’t work, and calling won’t let me speak to anyone.

  • hurleyb0b
    Rob Hurley ✈️ (@hurleyb0b) reported from Bristol, England

    Hey @virginmedia there’s something VERY wrong with my Wi-Fi. I followed your online instructions and it didn’t clear the problem. I have a really busy few days. What’s the quickest, easiest way of getting it sorted?

    Percival Merganser (@lennylaw) reported

    Really good point from Steve. 0345 454 1111 How did I find the number? Went to the “accessibility support” tab on the My Virgin Media app. Always imagine you have a disability. Did they ask? Did they arse. Goes straight to the helpline.

  • IsitAdy
    Ady Carter (@IsitAdy) reported

    @virginmedia It finally came back online during the #europeancup penalty shootout. Missed most of the final. But it’s not the first time we’ve had problems in this area. Very frustrating

  • RedfieldBS
    A Gang Of One (@RedfieldBS) reported

    @virginmedia going on to me about a switch of my home phone that I haven't had and still did not want on my subscription for the last 25 years, just **** off will you and take it off the bill. How many text ******* messages and emails for a service no one ******* wants. **** off.

  • wendyhemsworth
    wendyh (@wendyhemsworth) reported

    @virginmedia our internet is down as is our neighbours. Online it says issue with our hub but followed all instructions and still says issue. Online says no outages but both ours and neighbours are down. They have engineer booked for tomorrow but I need internet now

  • MarionBrowne42
    Marion Browne (@MarionBrowne42) reported

    @keithapearson @virginmedia @MartinSLewis I think Yodel can challenge VM. They left a package at my neighbour no2, due to the layout of the close, no2 is nowhere near no3 and the photo of proof is also not no2 unless you are in the next close 🤬 An hour on a chat to discover that the driver is an idiot.

  • TheAdamMarsden
    Adam Marsden (@TheAdamMarsden) reported

    @virginmedia absolute garbage- was told moving house would be a ‘smooth’ transition? Instead charging me for two accounts, harassed via email and phone. Told this would be resolved. ALL LIES. Now they’ve cut our internet off. DO NOT TRUST!

  • keithapearson
    Keith A Pearson (@keithapearson) reported

    @virginmedia Still waiting on your chat agent - to say he/she is incompetent would be the mother of all understatements. And yes, I've tried calling in the past, and that experience was so frustratingly pointless that I'm never trying again.

  • oisoli
    Soli (@oisoli) reported

    @virginmedia we are getting no internet and the app says it’s our kits connection but that is all good and still won’t work after following your steps? Any help or updates?

  • otterman62
    otterman62 (@otterman62) reported

    @virginmedia Broadband is down in Richmond Hill TW10, do you know how long it will take to fix the signal?
