  • Lisa2672 Lisa Philpott (@Lisa2672) reported from Rayleigh, England

    @Shayan86 @virginmedia It’s a disgrace - my husband works in tv too. You 100% cannot rely on VM. I am definitely changing. My bill started off at £35 and is now £45 as we had to buy boosters. Worst service ever. Skybroadband non-fibre was better than this.

  • shah4569 Shah 🦅 (@shah4569) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia bring back customer service to the UK. Philippines is a joke!

  • BancoDePapa グラハム・スミス® ©Official (@BancoDePapa) reported from London, England

    @TfL why is the 4G signal on the Central line underground only around the posh area's of Notting Hill Gate, Queensway and Holland Park? Since @virginmedia stopped their WiFi in April it's annoying that a major metropolis like London has no internet connections on a lot of lines

  • KimEdwards48 Kim Edwards (@KimEdwards48) reported from Stifford, England

    @AmandaSeager @virginmedia Same in Central London, my Company uses Virgin and we have had issues all day long

  • RogerHighfield Roger Highfield (@RogerHighfield) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia My broadband is down again - area21. Any idea of when it will be fixed?

  • LutherB40510976 Luther Blissett (@LutherB40510976) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia can you give me a direct number to call to cancel my contract. I've used whataspp / webchat and spoken to two people in last 24 hours - but to no avail.

  • farnsworth_adam Adam Farnsworth (@farnsworth_adam) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia It’s appalling they can act so quickly What about the speed issue?

  • CarolB29041964 Carol Dover (@CarolB29041964) reported from Stifford, England

    Just how **** are Virgin Media...my email was down for two evenings and probably the days as well earlier in the week, and now it's down again. Virgin Media i need to access my emails....this level of service is unacceptable. I'm paying for this crap service! @virginmedia

  • Lozraus Rex (@Lozraus) reported from London, England

    @_MxMike @virginmedia It’s been down for us since 1am 😫

  • WilsonJevelyn Dr Jan Evelyn-Wilson (@WilsonJevelyn) reported from London, England

    @VirginMedia wi-fi just cut out AGAIN! Annoying when one is in the middle of something. WHY!

  • _Lewis_A Lewis Allen ⚒ (@_Lewis_A) reported from Romford, England

    On phone to @virginmedia for 55 mins to cancel, speak to 4 different people about a mis-sold service and then when I ask them to produce my contract they hang up. Not happy.

  • shah4569 Shah 🦅 (@shah4569) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia All these problems. But still fleecing money from us.

  • joybrenda Brenda (@joybrenda) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia help why have you made it so difficult to log a landline vault on line. Need to call, as line out of order since friday. I am certain it's systems fault as display message I have seen on previous occasions.

  • _Lewis_A Lewis Allen ⚒ (@_Lewis_A) reported from Romford, England

    So @virginmedia want £288 to cancel a contract I've had since 2018. Can I get through to anyone to speak about it? NO!!

  • BancoDePapa グラハム・スミス® ©Official (@BancoDePapa) reported from London, England

    I wonder if anyone has a #skyglass connected to a #virginmedia broadband? At least with #SkyQ your TV service will be unaffected

  • _Lewis_A Lewis Allen ⚒ (@_Lewis_A) reported from London, England

    So @virginmedia won't let me leave our contract despite their service continually crashing or not providing the speed it promises. Ultrafast broadband but getting nothing or 9mb download. Fed up with it now. Avoid them at all costs. #VirginMediaoutage #broadband

  • Mustxkim Mustakim. (@Mustxkim) reported from London, England

    Virgin Media moving weird. My wifi is working but for certain things. YouTube, IG, Disney+ is all fine but Safari, Twitter and other apps ain’t working. Fix up man. I ain’t paying all this money for daily issues @virginmedia

  • MelanieHart72 Melanie Hart (@MelanieHart72) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia You have put my bill up from £84 to £96 in one month and you are not providing a service I should have my full services 24/7 for that price and getting any compensation it like getting blood out of a stone !!! Disgusting service

  • Lisa2672 Lisa Philpott (@Lisa2672) reported from Rayleigh, England

    @virginmedia Sort it out Virgin IT’S NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!!!! Can’t even log on to get service updates 😡😡😡

  • _Lewis_A Lewis Allen ⚒ (@_Lewis_A) reported from London, England

    @ameehan71 @virginmedia All new and reconnected. 200mb then next day nothing, comes on for a day then drops to 10mb. Talk to customer service and they don't have a clue. They also want over £400 for me to leave. Worst service I've ever known

  • Itstheway2go Ian (@Itstheway2go) reported

    @virginmedia Tried phoning but sadly can't get through. Read all the leaflets from front to back went on to the internet on my phone 4g to diagnose the problem all that did was waste my time. My child was so upset he needed to finish his homework & worried him. What am I paying for you for.

  • BruceBa06826486 Bruce Banner-Football-index (@BruceBa06826486) reported

    @virginmedia No one join virgin, Google the reviews customer service is poor

  • lemonfreshrob Rob Morris (@lemonfreshrob) reported

    @gingerannie34 @virginmedia Oh it does seem to take them about half an hour to register it on their website so hang tight. But reporting issues is a problem in its own right. I have to wait for someone else to manage to report it because their website's shite and will not work with Safari.

  • BruceBa06826486 Bruce Banner-Football-index (@BruceBa06826486) reported

    @virginmedia Was with virgin for 6 year's and i didn't miss a bill. It's horrible some people would kill themselves having debt collectors after you. The best thing is i don't owe it to you.

  • RyPie_88 Ry (@RyPie_88) reported

    @virginmedia I don't want to join your community, i shouldn't have to. What i would like it for someone to come and investigate the issue and fix the problem x

  • DarkinsGraham Graham Darkins (@DarkinsGraham) reported

    @virginmedia If your Hub 3's didn't keep braking, dodgy WiFi signal for over a month

  • FBM_Warrior Jo Cole ♿️ FBM CFS DCD TMJ (@FBM_Warrior) reported

    @virginmedia I’m fine when it’s a big issue affecting everyone I understand they happen It’s the issues with the hub itself & the fact we pay a lot for your internet so expect equipment to work properly

  • FBM_Warrior Jo Cole ♿️ FBM CFS DCD TMJ (@FBM_Warrior) reported

    @virginmedia Not right now I’m currently using my phone data as the internet is down today so just adding to the frustrations. Had nothing most of the day and a fix time of 21.45 tonight, not ideal when we still have a kid doing some online learning

  • gingerannie34 Annie C 💙 (@gingerannie34) reported

    @lemonfreshrob @virginmedia We often get our WiFi go down only, about few times a month but you can use it with a wire connected to the hub but today it was the Internet WiFi or wired

  • thatguykaneda kaneda (@thatguykaneda) reported

    @virginmedia I've been trying to speak to you about broadband issues for months without success. Finally spoke to someone who created a complaint & guaranteed I'd get a callback from a manager in 24 hours. This was on the 5 March. I haven't received this callback yet!
