  • MikeBiscoe1 Mike Biscoe (@MikeBiscoe1) reported from Reading, England

    If anyone is interested in how much @virginmedia are overcharging for their dreadful service, I’ve just been offered a price match on cancellation to move to a different supplier. £27.50/month for a service for which they originally increased price to £105/month

  • ABennell4709 Alex Bennell (@ABennell4709) reported from Twyford, England

    @virginmedia Just had a call from Jerry at Virginmedia media wanting to help me mend my broadband issues (that I don’t have). After challenging him he told me to find the largest ***** & shove it up my arse!! Charming!! His No. 02038399963

  • shaun1968 shaun harley (@shaun1968) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia I'm expecting a replacement set top box to replace a broken tivo. Told it will be delivered Weds. but I've had no confirmation email and not showing in my virgin app. Can anyone help

  • RNeacsu Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia Internet keeps disconnecting. Called, useless as always. Intermittent issues or connectivity issues. Just send an engineer to check, why wait for another 24h when this is an ongoing issue. I've even reset the hub, still same issues.

  • HilaryGurden Hilary Gurden (@HilaryGurden) reported from Abingdon, England

    @virginmedia can you tell us if the service is down. We have had no tv or internet for the last half an hour

  • MikeBiscoe1 Mike Biscoe (@MikeBiscoe1) reported from Reading, England

    @GiganetUK @virginmedia 13:25. Down again…

    @virginmedia when will the problems in rg1 be resolved?

  • Rochdale_Cowboy Craig (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia @LudaLukeUK That webpage isn't working. Presumably because your network is down!

  • AronGunningham Aron Gunningham (@AronGunningham) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia RG6 no service

  • fayeharland faye harland (@fayeharland) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Hi again. Just letting you know we’ve made contact with him and all seems fine. So please can we cancel the engineer for Friday.

  • davedec60 Dave Crocker (@davedec60) reported from Reading, England

    So @virginmedia once more we have an outage, how many times now in the last 3 months? NOT GOOD ENOUGH!! Currently looking at switching supplier

  • MikeBiscoe1 Mike Biscoe (@MikeBiscoe1) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia @VirginMedia_TV trying to get through to your customer services for explanation of bill. #losingthewilltolive

  • kqbrain Khurram Qayam (@kqbrain) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia let me down once again with their pathetic service. First the broadband was extremely slow all day and now the Hub is gone. No emergency appointment and I have to wait for a week for a technician visit. @Ofcom

  • fayeharland faye harland (@fayeharland) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia I’m not sure if they do. Happy to do another web chat to cancel.

  • RNeacsu Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia And yes I called to your outage number, apparently there is no known issue in the area. Even though last night at 11.30pm in the app the status check showed every service is down, even though they weren't down last night. This happens only during working hours.

  • Dan5421 Dan (@Dan5421) reported

    @virginmedia 150 says number not recognised as I am calling from an 02 sim and when I call the 0345 number I get "we are sorry for the issue in your area we are trying to fix it as soon as possible but the issue is complex and will take longer to fix" and there is no option to talk to anyone.

  • clairem1502 claire (@clairem1502) reported

    @virginmedia As stated we have done this numerous times! This is what we’re always told to do after the soft reboot. It works for a few hours then fails again. We did this on the phone with your advisor yesterday before he gave up and put the phone down!

  • primalsabre PRIMALSABRE (@primalsabre) reported

    @virginmedia really down again 🤡💀

  • X5452MAX Clare White (@X5452MAX) reported

    @virginmedia Slow speeds. Constant disconnects. WiFi dropping out. It's unusable. Paying for the best speed and getting less than I do with my mobile data. A house full of gamers who can't stay connected when using a wired connection. Shocking.

  • Funk_e_Brown Chin Patel ♋ (@Funk_e_Brown) reported

    @virginmedia Hi Team. Where can I report a technical issue easily for my Virgin Mobile network please?

  • azelhajjar X0R3ed @ym0n 😷 (@azelhajjar) reported

    @virginmedia decision taken moving away. Rubbish Internet service

  • X5452MAX Clare White (@X5452MAX) reported

    @virginmedia So you're telling me that this intermittent fault has been going on for the last 2 weeks! I'm paying £60 a month for Internet that doesn't work. How can I get in touch with a human on the phone that lives in the UK and not the Indian outsourced work force please. They can't help!

  • Stuart_198 Stuart (@Stuart_198) reported

    @virginmedia So what’s the point in the wats app service then and why do you tell people to use if you don’t reply on it ? Crap customer service, always issues with the Wi-Fi and you put the price up ? Time for a new provider

  • nifty1a nifty1a (Paul B) (@nifty1a) reported

    @virginmedia @SenseMakesNone Do you need some more network engineering staff? Call me....

  • michael1angley Michael Langley (@michael1angley) reported

    @virginmedia It’s just when resetting my password I come across this issue
