    @virginmedia this is an absolute joke now, I do not have time to just sit on hold all day. You clearly make it impossible for people to cancel their contracts on purpose

    @virginmedia It looks like the virgin services are not synced. The phone app says there are problems, you click on service and it says there are no issues, you call the service line and it tells you No issues, (it hangs up on you - bad CE) then you speak to someone and there is an issue...

    @virginmedia no Service since Sunday, no communication, from you guys, absolute joke, I hope you don't think your going to charge us for this service, time for City Fibre I feel.

    @virginmedia I am having problems with the virgin media business router that gets up to 350mbps. Keeps dropping out. Not a speed problem it’s the stability of it.

    Hey @virginmedia all of last night and now this morning my home broadband is not working. I’ve reset the router several times not made any difference.

    TaiDragon (@TaiDragon) reported from Poole, England

    @JohnnyDude1983 @virginmedia According to virgin, any more than 8 devices (including lightbulbs) and they won’t look in to issues and they would expect it to drop all devices randomly

  • TamzLALee
    Tamzin L A Lee (@TamzLALee) reported from Poole, England

    @virginmedia can you please explain why it is impossible to cancel a contract with you. Can get through for anything else but when you want to cancel you are put on hold for hours

    Emma Goddard (@goddard95) reported from Christchurch, England

    @virginmedia Nope, dreadful. That’s not customer service, that’s off loading to a computer. Not helpful for a 87 year old.

    Emma Goddard (@goddard95) reported from Christchurch, England

    @virginmedia Hey Virgin Media, the connection in Christchurch Dorset is unbelievably slow & customer service dreadful, all for £75 a month!!

  • JackRansom4

    @virginmedia Wireless devices. Been going on all morning (this happens regularly but usually better after a reset - not today). Tried following the advice to check for problems in the local area, even that doesn’t work. Literally nothing more i can do.

  • stevejbeck
    Steve Beck (@stevejbeck) reported from Bournemouth, England

    Oh no! @virginmedia broadband is slow in our area at the moment (BH6). It’s supposed to be 100Mbps but it’s currently 29Mbps. I think there’s maintenance happening on our road right now but can’t see cos it’s behind a tree. Ah well. Looks like I’m gonna have to do some housework!

    @virginmedia What is the best process to try and get an update on multiple complaints that have received no reply and to get to the Regulator before 8 weeks; in the interim I'm paying for a service you are not providing and are not interested in addressing.

  • redandwhite1874
    MD (@redandwhite1874) reported

    @virginmedia @Worthylad09 Or try spending hours on the phone and they will try to take an extra £5 per month for a pod that doesn't work and their solution to that will be £10 per month for 2 pods. @virginmedia could not care less
