    @virginmedia broadband speeds are awful - who should I go with @SkyUK or @BTGroup

  • FatherFantaskis Dave Taskis (@FatherFantaskis) reported from Romford, England

    Hey @virginmedia when will you be upgrading the #VirginMediaConnect App to be compatible with your #Hub4 routers ? They’ve been out at least a year now and I can no longer manage my network through the app.

  • clairevnugent Claire Nugent (@clairevnugent) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia Absoutley disgusting customer service today, was sent round the same bot telling me to do the same things for half an hour before getting to a chat where the helper decided to take their lunch break in the middle of it and expected me to wait!!

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

    @virginmedia WiFi is down in the London SE7 area yet again - that's the 3rd time this month. What's the 'engineering fault' this time, eh? Is it incompetance, apathy or a combination of the two? When will my service be resumed???

  • suzywotz ꧁༒☬𝓢𝓾𝔃𝔂𝔀𝓸𝓽𝔃☬༒꧂ 🌷🐼🎪⭐️👸🏽 (@suzywotz) reported from Gravesend, England

    @JooMarsden @virginmedia It appears it’s gotta be all our road .. surely others have reported an issue too hence it needs to be addressed rapidly lots of stressed and angry customers I’d imagine #notimpressed

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

    @virginmedia l have lost the internet - any issues in Greenwich/area 21/SE10 and, if so, when can l get my life back!?

  • richardpettet Richard Pettet (@richardpettet) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia And the reset password page doesn't work either. Same issue. I've seen others reporting this.

  • clairevnugent Claire Nugent (@clairevnugent) reported from Romford, England

    And on top of this I’ve been on a chat to complain about what happened and I’ve been made to wait over an hour for a wait time of “fifteen minutes”. This is a paid service! Never use virgin media for broadband, I’m fuming 😤

  • adiesmith64 ⚒Adrian Smith⚒ (@adiesmith64) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @KAYI50747133 @virginmedia Yep how you have explained it is exactly the same for me, have tried my 2nd box upstairs but the same problem!

  • LonesomeJay Looney (@LonesomeJay) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia, when I call to terminate, and I'm informed that I could have been paying 26 quid a month less for the same package, the knowledge that my current rate is a con makes me less likely to stay

  • damienk11 Damien Kelly (@damienk11) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia broadband service in Greenwich London is shocking, hasn't been working for 1 week now and when I've rang customer services multiple times, all they try to do is up-sell me on their other more expensive packages. Terror to think we pay for this service!!!!

  • CharrLady_ Athaina (@CharrLady_) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia We've been told it's down to a power outage, so area fault.

  • ABSiddiki Abu Siddiki (@ABSiddiki) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Well…either an early cancellation or resolve the issue that I am having at your expense and not mine :)

  • EthanChapples Ethan Chapples (@EthanChapples) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia is there an issue with internet in CR4? Had no connection for the past hour?

  • markandall Mark O'Brien (@markandall) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia 4.45 on Saturday evening you text me to move my install from Monday 9am to some day in 3 weeks time .. And now no one available to help?

  • suzywotz ꧁༒☬𝓢𝓾𝔃𝔂𝔀𝓸𝓽𝔃☬༒꧂ 🌷🐼🎪⭐️👸🏽 (@suzywotz) reported from Gravesend, England

    @JooMarsden @virginmedia I truly have never experienced anything like this before , there’s gonna be a launch here soon … this router out my bloody window and I couldn’t give a toss where it touches down @richardbranson it certainly won’t be a safe landing where’s our service we are paying for ?

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

    So Virgin How do I opt out receiving one of you hard of hearing not very pleasant slow on the uptake sales people calling me from somewhere East of here... @virginmedia

  • _iancollier Ian Collier (@_iancollier) reported from Gravesend, England

    Hey @virginmedia why does it take sooooo long to call you guys? Spent 45 mins on hold waiting to be transferred to department who can help me with my phone line problem. I gave up. Help!

  • AViTSCJ Scott Jackson (@AViTSCJ) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia why is it when you request cancellation of service via phone and getting cut off mid call , then sending and email and also trying to chase via web chat which I also sent my request for cancellation and then move out two months later . They keep the account open 🤬

  • hairydalek ⭐️ 🇪🇺 Paul ⭐️ Dunning 🇪🇺 ⭐️ (@hairydalek) reported from Writtle, England

    Sadly, the @horror_channel catchup service isn’t on @virginmedia , which is a total bummer.

    @virginmedia might be probably you are wise enough to stay away from @virginmedia so that you never experienced this trauma. good for you

  • immigrantdiary selos (@immigrantdiary) reported

    @virginmedia no they never inform via sms. they always say they will but it never does. this reply even shows how little you know on your own operations.just dont reply to fulfill your freaking statistics.

  • RayWebpro04 Ray (@RayWebpro04) reported

    @virginmedia Bit late lost confidence in VirginMedia, went out and purchased a 3rd party wifi router which is giving me the 270mbps speed, which only proves that it was the superhub wifi signal, but kept being told there was nothing wrong with your superhub, but I could pay another £8 a month

  • GingerTuft Laura Astley (@GingerTuft) reported

    @virginmedia can you confirm if there is an issue in the CM23 area please?

  • medwandro Medders (@medwandro) reported

    @virginmedia In spite of several phone calls regarding a service cancelled months ago why are you constantly billing my elderly mother for increasing payments and overdue charges? All you've done is stop the daily phone calls. This is tantamount to harassment and is disgraceful.

  • lufc1990 Scoffa1990 (@lufc1990) reported

    @virginmedia I’d now like to know how much it would cost to cancel. Shocking service this.

  • CharlottDevaney Charlotte Devaney (@CharlottDevaney) reported

    yo @virginmedia what kind of customer service are you running? The worst EVER!!!!!!!!

  • DKMUA_ diane knott (@DKMUA_) reported

    @virginmedia We’ve never had bother until my husband received a text from your company telling us about some upgrade to our broadband so that it’s faster - what a joke!

  • befitat50 Befitat50 (@befitat50) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia I don’t need to check it you guys have to check not me ! This horrible internet has been playing up for sometime and again today!!! All I want t know is when are you going to fix it?

  • tj23ec T3_23 (@tj23ec) reported

    @virginmedia customer service is an absolute joke. They disregard everything you say. They don't have a complaints department.
