    @virginmedia Hi, had a call this morning allegedly from you saying my internet service was compromised and malware was being downloaded, then proceeded to ask questions which I refused to answer. Was it you lot?

  • jeanrauwers Jean Rauwers (@jeanrauwers) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia getting these emails saying “we are sorry you are leaving” but I didn’t cancel my service with you guys. Should I be worried about it?

  • owensirons93 Andrew Owen (@owensirons93) reported from Corringham, England

    @virginmedia any reason why you still haven’t fixed our phone lines? Been down for 3 months now so I’ll be expecting a reimbursement. Also expect a reimbursement due to the fact your failing to supply the minimum download speed

  • statusquo44 Peter Fudge 💙 (@statusquo44) reported from Canvey Island, England

    @leonagraham @virginmedia Yes, the issue is you’re being denied internet access 👍

  • sarainh2o Sara Rainwater (@sarainh2o) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    .@virginmedia my Virgin TV Go app hasn’t worked in 2 months. No luck uninstalling and reinstalling it, nor when I called your tech support for help. Any ideas?

  • mariobucolo Mario Bucolo (@mariobucolo) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Please i need to have assistance on some Wi-Fi problem and in friend referral. Can't find in the help pages, need a human contact thanks

  • daviduaregod paul davis (@daviduaregod) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia I want to upgrade as I had problems with my income but I can’t do it online don’t say nothing about my next package it’s. A disgrace I can’t phone as it cost me

  • evac90 Eva Collingwood (@evac90) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia Like I said, I have tried to call but just get an automated service that directs me to the website

  • mariobucolo Mario Bucolo (@mariobucolo) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Or need please an email where I can wrote to solve some problems. Absurd can't communicate

  • jim_dawes James Dawes (@jim_dawes) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia no broadband, WiFi or TV services in the SE7 area until 5pm today is completely unacceptable for people working from home. Engineering faults should not be happening during the day. £8 compensation is absolute peanuts. Very poor indeed.

  • mariobucolo Mario Bucolo (@mariobucolo) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia With 20 devices connected to reinstall? What's? This is a solution? Wow thanks

  • evac90 Eva Collingwood (@evac90) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia I’ve tried to call but just get automated, I’ve tried livechat but they say I can’t order a booster through that service. What am I mean to do? I just want a lead time on the booster. Why can nobody give me that?

  • evac90 Eva Collingwood (@evac90) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia I need to order a booster ASAP! The ‘100MB’ WiFi i apparently have doesn’t even reach my office upstairs. No surprises when I go to order one online there’s a waiting list...how long am I likely to wait? Surely if all your customers need a booster, there’s an issue??

  • Bomber_RBS ML Shelton (@Bomber_RBS) reported from Gravesend, England

    @skytv @virginmedia get your fecking **** together and agree a deal with @disneyplus

  • revjdouglas Johnny Douglas (@revjdouglas) reported from Hextable, England

    @davebish @virginmedia Singularly the most sanctifying dynamic in my life over past year... endlessly broken zoom calls, or burning though mobile data... feeling your pain!

  • Ean_I Ean Irwin (@Ean_I) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia 2 minutes to go in the Champions League final and everything has gone down! Expected fix time 16:00 tomorrow. Are you serious!

  • 303marty Martin Donovan ⚒⚒ 🇬🇧🇬🇧 (@303marty) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia Another nuisance call from Virgin overseas..Disgraceful...telling me I was going to get the Boxing channel as I was a valued customer all for another an extra £8 a month..You have had one warning do something about it or I will report you.........

  • feyipuk Phil (@feyipuk) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia Signal as a whole; router drops to less than 1kbps and remote IP changes like it's trying to reconnect. A power cycle seems to correct it but think I'll need some watchdog program and remote switch to do that if the signal drops and I'm away from the house.

  • MickHarkin2 Mick Harkin (@MickHarkin2) reported

    @rabbinickkett @virginmedia Did you inform virgin you wanted to cancel???

  • nickinmarlow Nick Butcher (@nickinmarlow) reported

    Been trying to cancel my @virginmedia account for two and a half hours now.

  • AneesaMunaf aneesamua (@AneesaMunaf) reported

    @virginmedia I asked for the email address but No1 has it, I asked for my phone call transcript under GDPR. The manager agreed and said I will receive a email. I haven't received anything. I was lied to by at least 3 agents. Given a WiFi booster because my WiFi is terrible and told no charge

  • Liamp9393 Liam Peters (@Liamp9393) reported

    @virginmedia No idea what a great doo is like numbnutz But you are being dumb coz I've said it doesn't work however if that's how you speak to customers via social media it definitely matches your call centre staff

  • hemster001 Hema Odedra (@hemster001) reported

    @virginmedia I’d just a call back. It’s a long story and repeated myself so many times now it’s a joke. They all say they will look into it and call back but never do

  • A_Turner100 Adrian Turner (@A_Turner100) reported

    @virginmedia Yes and they just tell me whatever the script tells them. I was promised the contractors would come today and yet another no show. No one will take responsibility and say this is not acceptable and fix it

  • Barnetftw Yuri (@Barnetftw) reported

    @virginmedia Rang up instead and got told there's a connection issue. If not working in 24 hours then engineer comes.

  • AneesaMunaf aneesamua (@AneesaMunaf) reported

    @virginmedia Given the wrong information by more then 1 agent, 1 particular agent Tina was very unhelpful and then cut me off mid-sentence and transferred me to another agent, I said I wanted to cancel an unauthorised upgrade that I didn't request or agree to but the agent activated it.

  • laffing_man Laffing Man ⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️ (@laffing_man) reported

    @virginmedia We’re not the only ones on the road with the issue either

  • ashthfc ashley (@ashthfc) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I couldn’t speak to a human I was sent a text with a link to do tests which I have done. It says to wait and see if the issue continues but I know it will because it’s been going on for ages. I just never thought to check the hub before
