    @jonWturney @virginmedia If only they DID invest in their network. They bought Telewest in a fire-sale many years ago and have spent barely a penny on it. My guess is that they are able to ‘upgrade’ your speed because all of your neighbours have switched to BT, who actually have invested.

    @virginmedia are the customer relations messaging team online? I know it takes a while... but I was connected to them over 2.5hrs ago.....

    Hi @virginmedia we are trying to get hold of someone to cancel our internet/tv with you but it seems impossible. Please advise. @AndyVenn1

    @virginmedia intermittent WiFi, that keeps cutting out. Service test says nothing is wrong. I've followed all the instructions. No way of contacting you online?

    @inclusively_amy @virginmedia Nope...Manchester issue?

    Lucy Champion (@misseschampers) reported from Bristol, England

    Today's @virginmedia update... 9.46 I connected to the messaging service. At 10.48 I was put through to the correct department. Still waiting. 5.5 hours so far. Carrier pigeon may be quicker 🤔 So far over 3 days I have been waiting on their messenger thing for 12.5 hours.

    @richardbranson are you anything to do with @virginmedia ? If so please can you get someone to finally do something they promise. 15 hours on phone, promised credits, nothing arrives, overcharge £50 p/month & promised of a call back & nothing 22 years a customer, 6 weeks waiting

    @virginmedia So i have to fill out forms because you have my details. I will putting a complaint into @Offcom

  • Saralimback
    Sara Venn (@Saralimback) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia No someone has deleted it overnight after saying they could help via DM. This is appalling behaviour-it was whoever was tweeting yesterday.

  • edwinokli
    Edwin Walker (@edwinokli) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia I have an issue with Bluetooth headphones interfering with WiFi signal. Two pairs of headphones, same result. Is there anything I can do to the router to stop this from happening? It's better when I switch off the 2.4GHz band.

  • MartinRose2
    Martin Rose (@MartinRose2) reported from Bristol, England

    @mouthwaite @virginmedia All of the wi-fi providers are rubbish. I am with BT and had to make several complaints about poor signal. You would be better off with a pay as you go dongle to be perfectly honest.

  • CraigAllan5
    Craig Allan (@CraigAllan5) reported from Clevedon, England

    @virginmedia shocking service so far. Ordered our broadband a month in advance of our house move as is essential because we’re both working from home. Been in a week and had delivery of my hub but still not able to connect. Advice is always just to wait and it will come online.

  • daintree75
    leighton daintree (@daintree75) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Im not sure but a few questions? Im not your customer? I have never gave you my information? I left you and I have a different number? So why do I have to contact you? I dont think I shall ever come back to you after this?

  • Geo88HH
    George Hoddinott (@Geo88HH) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia how can I contact you in regards to removing premium channels from my account please? Have tried calling a number of times but cannot get through to a human. Is there a webchat service or similar?

  • daintree75
    leighton daintree (@daintree75) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia I dont want an account with you to send a complaint. I do not want to be your customer. All I want is to get this resolved. Do I have to go through @Offcom to resolve the issue issue?

  • VickyLorych
    VickyL (@VickyLorych) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia I’ve been trying to get hold of you since you said you’re putting up my bill by 7.5% in COVID but you hung up on me before someone picked up and now your phone lines are down 😡

  • daintree75
    leighton daintree (@daintree75) reported from Bristol, England

    @liveseytowers @virginmedia @SkyUK Thanks I just might as I have never gave them any information. They had my mobile number and email address. So I need to get to the bottom of the problem 🤔

  • digthisfood
    Pete Lawrence (@digthisfood) reported from Bristol, England

    I cannot believe just how lousy the service is from @virginmedia . Counting down the days to my contract end.

  • fifiifif
    Fi Willi (@fifiifif) reported from Bristol, England

    AGH! 40 mins waiting on the phone to find out that @virginmedia will not help you understand why the internet service is slow unless you have an Ethernet plugged in... WHO CONNECTS BY WIRE TO THE INTERNET IN THE AGE OF TABLETS AND SMARTPHONE?! Ugh! 😡 #penalised

  • ChristianSurfer
    Phil Williams (@ChristianSurfer) reported from Nailsea, England

    @virginmedia another 5 days waiting for a call back .. and this was after my case had been ‘elevated’ and a promise for all to be sorted on a Friday - more broken promises / what do you suggest now ? Just leave after 22 years ? @MartinSLewis @WhichUK - all details being recorded

    @virginmedia my tv connects to the wifi, but then says there’s no internet connection, so i cannot use things like netflix. what can i do to fix it?

  • KAStandAlone
    KirstenA (@KAStandAlone) reported

    @virginmedia Did you read the post & the screenshot of the email claiming someone phoned me? I don’t think I’ve been this furious for a long time. I will not wait on hold another min. It’s been hours over weeks. I want to *cancel* my tv package. I’m not repeating myself for 5th time. DM me.

  • AdamDentPR
    Adam Dent (@AdamDentPR) reported

    @virginmedia do you have an outage problem in Kenilworth Warwickshire?

  • JayCunningDJ
    Jay Cunning (@JayCunningDJ) reported

    @virginmedia Router installed 2 days ago and engineer found the external line faulty. No calls from anyone on when this will be fixed, sales rep not taking my calls and customer service waiting time is a joke. If it's not sorted soon I'm cancelling and staying with BT.

  • danbrazieruk
    Dan Brazier (@danbrazieruk) reported

    Yo, @virginmedia I'm trying to cancel my account having moved house and I can't get through to anybody on the phone or live chat without /massive/ wait times and when I do I get connected I get transferred and dropped. Wanna reach out so I can avoid just stopping paying you?

  • BusterBJ99
    Brett Evans (@BusterBJ99) reported

    @virginmedia Have tried this approach numerous times, people cannot even locate the complaint references I have provided! The process is normally 45 mins on hold, someone answers struggles to help and then line goes dead, honestly counting down the days until February when I say goodbye

  • asaplace
    asa place (@asaplace) reported

    @virginmedia @Flav_Bateman @lawrence_bury Sort your ******* **** out! 2 days on the phone to get reconnected when I've never missed a payment yet I've still been cut off. 145 a month you're mugging me right off. May aswell come burgle me while you're at it

  • marioandreazza

    @BelarmineC @virginmedia Having the same issue, Virgin Media saying no outage in the area on their support.

  • Baby_Milgate
    Julie Ann Jones (@Baby_Milgate) reported

    @virginmedia Do you see how ridiculous all this is? The service is faulty and I have to jump through hoops to even report it? I do not want to sign up to a random forum to ask strangers to fix an issue you are contractually obliged to resolve but if I leave I get charged?

  • Jsplee1

    @virginmedia is down in SE9. When will this be fixed?
