  • mizznansea Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported from Aveley, England

    @virginmedia I've been having problems with my phoneline and it is currently dead. An engineer came on Friday but its still not working. Charges have also been appearing on my phone bill for calls I have not made. This has happened twice since November.

  • sinozza Simon Norris (@sinozza) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I spent over an hour on the phone yesterday trying to get through to a customer service rep only to get cut off. Still waiting to hear on WhatsApp and been on hold this afternoon 45 mins and still holding???? Whats going on??

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

    @virginmedia service just gets worse and worse. 3 days with no TV service whatsoever, and now no Internet either in SE7. It's simply not good enough anymore. Your service has been declining rapidly for over a year. Sort it out please.

  • MSROPER10 S (@MSROPER10) reported from London, England

    @cameraoncaught @virginmedia Have you forwarded this to Virgin media internal complaints? In my opinion Virgin have one of the worst customer service teams around but it may reach someone who can act upon internally.

  • MissFayeRay FClay (@MissFayeRay) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia hope you can help please! Our router is a hub 3. It has a constant red light. It’s not over heating, I’ve done multiple hard resets. Any suggestions? Do I need a new router?

  • VenusEnvi VenusEnvi (@VenusEnvi) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia what’s the point of asking me to text when I’m ready to set up the new hub if your going to deactivate the old one before I’m ready!! Good job I have unlimited data on my mobile network!!

  • yas326 Yasir ( ̄(工) ̄) Khan (@yas326) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia It just says, it looks like you are having trouble connecting

  • SeasideAPNP Liam Stanley💙 (@SeasideAPNP) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @AnnG50707311 @virginmedia I always haggled with them and got them to come in at new customer prices. Surprising what they will give you when you let them think you are leaving. Also let them know what other companies will offer you to become a customer as they may match the offer

  • MrChips2000 MrChips (@MrChips2000) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I would like to cancel my recent broadband order. I found a better deal.

  • mizznansea Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported from Aveley, England

    @TracyWoodley4 @virginmedia @Virgin Their service has certainly gone down hill and this issue with the call centre is a complete farce. If they can't even get their own internal systems sorted as a telecomms company what hope do we have? My contract is up in March and I will defo be leaving Virgin.

  • t3xuga 𝒯𝑒𝓍𝓊𝑔𝒶 (@t3xuga) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia with the new price increase it states with don't need to pay any cancellation fees. My contract ends on the Summer, if I were to cancel do I need to pay the remaining months?

  • alanburkittgray Alan Burkitt-Gray (@alanburkittgray) reported from London, England

    I have hardly ever heard a good word about @virginmedia service. Why is it so hard to fix?

  • coxychris chris cox (@coxychris) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia why are no one answering your lines all I wanna do is cancel my package

  • MrRockingGooner Mr Rocking Gooner~ Terry 👨‍🎤 (@MrRockingGooner) reported from Romford, England

    @BorisJohnson @virginmedia @O2 Imagine being part of a club or a group where roaming could be free for every mobile phone network automatically across Europe We should join that club sometime.

  • willhenrywarren William Warren (@willhenrywarren) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia @trickythecat Will affected users get a refund for the lack of service? We haven't had internet for a week.

  • mizznansea Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported from Aveley, England

    @virginmedia Yes he left a name & phone number, said I should I let him know if I still have issues. I've contacted him 3 times including this morning since his visit last Friday.

  • mizznansea Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported from Aveley, England

    @virginmedia Yes gave 30 days from 6th October ending contract on 6th November. I kept the broadband and lost all the other package. Seems my contract has been reinstated and I never agreed to that! I am not calling in again this is your thought and you need to sort this issue. Thanks

  • smithersuk simon smith (@smithersuk) reported

    @virginmedia It seems you acknowledged my loss of service through your emails and comms after I complained but conveniently forgot to pay

  • Monica10203756 monicaosullivanwasassultedbykirsrtbulterpdsa. (@Monica10203756) reported

  • buymeabmw Miss Q (@buymeabmw) reported

    @virginmedia our internet in falkirk has been down since early this morning. But website says no known issues in our area. Any ideas?

  • Di4nn3 Dianne Marchant (@Di4nn3) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, 21st byb3 pm, which is a joke. There wasn't an issue prior to the planned works to improvemthe service took place morning of 18th. So itbis a fault created by the engineers. If they can't fix it in 3 days, it won't be fixed by 3pm tomorrow!

  • 1001pieces Terrie (@1001pieces) reported

    @virginmedia how can i speak to a human? can't find a way to contact you. Just need to remove the landline package as you haven't fixed the landline (been down for 3 weeks).

  • Parleyyyyyy Josh (@Parleyyyyyy) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I’ve just done that. If you watch the video though you’ll see it doesn’t even let me get to the login page. As soon as I click on virgin media customer it tries to take me to a website & then closes down

  • rickyskeene Ricardo (@rickyskeene) reported

    @virginmedia ive tried everything im just getting no help

  • ItsHippie2 Matthew Sandilands🇱🇻🇬🇧 (@ItsHippie2) reported

    @virginmedia The issue is the unreliable internet speeds and connectivity we have reset the router numerous times but still nothing and according to your website everything is working perfectly which it’s not

  • Monica10203756 monicaosullivanwasassultedbykirsrtbulterpdsa. (@Monica10203756) reported

    @virginmedia Very slow sometimes. I would be grateful if u could remove the landline. I was told at the time I had to have it. No choice. Thanks
