  @virginmedia I raised the complaint on 14/7 and I’ve heard nothing

• 
  Lisa Philpott (@Lisa2672) reported 7 minutes ago 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.

  @BBCNews please help. @virginmedia refusing to make an 87 year old with a heart condition who needs her telephone 24/7 for her emergency button a priority. Not sending an engineer for ANOTHER 6 DAYS.

  @virginmedia Terrible service from you these last two weeks! I have spent more than 4hrs on the phone to Asian based O2, and Virgin call centres who never help or process things. Also Capita in South Africa… Why do you use foreign call centres if they cannot do the job!!

  Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported 24 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  . @virginmedia down yet again? Not able to watch On Demand and error messages. Plus their website is down. 🙄

• 
  Ben Rogers (@eviemae239) reported 24 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia wi-fi down yet again for about the 5th time this week. Constantly going down over last few weeks as well, absolute shambles.

  Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Andrew007Uk) reported 25 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia There is a blockage, that I know - I have had no service since November. I was told it would not be sorted before March 6th. I had been promised 3 call backs from different people in the Exec Department - none have followed up.

  Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported 30 minutes ago from Aveley, England

  So trying to cancel @virginmedia services and the stalling tactics being used are not cool. If customers want to leave they have every right to do so. Let them go.

  Mark 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@WhiskyOneIce) reported 30 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  Be careful if you ever want to cancel a @virginmedia account, I wrote to them, twice as per their T&C because you can never get through on chat or phone, they deny receipt of letters because you cant send recorded delivery so they just keep sending bills and chasing payments

  Joseph Sweeney (@JosephS65112253) reported 31 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia I’m going into my 5 week of problems with this crap company they say they will investigate but nothing, no compensation nothing.

  @virginmedia No issues... I need to speak to someone I've tried everything... Reboot, reset and nothing is working

  @virginmedia Your customer service is the worst I have seen

  @ThatNickElse @virginmedia Did you get through in the end Nick...I'm having similar problems to you.

  @virginmedia Though I am dyslexic I have painstakingly done this on multiple devices and have photos to show It - not posting them publicly but it does not recognise that password 😢 A search on line suggests the problem is not unique. I have one hour to call the manufacturer if you advice.

  Wesley Hammer ⚒️ (@CouchPotatoUK) reported 55 minutes ago from Romford, England

  @virginmedia for a media company that sells amazing broadband, your website is terrible. Just goes in circles, doesn't let you change packages online. Terrible.

• 
  Lewis Allen ⚒ (@_Lewis_A) reported 56 minutes ago 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.

• 
  Mark Connolly (@macon1375) reported 56 minutes ago from Crayford, England

  @virginmedia Of course. I’ve done everything required of me: I was told it’s caused by my home move and the disconnection due on 12th. Things seem to have been prematurely actioned affecting my signal

• 
  Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported 57 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  Virgin Media broadband down AGAIN. Service Status website & app don’t work as no internet connection 🤨 @virginmedia

• 
  Mark 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@WhiskyOneIce) reported 59 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia It's okay I've taken it up with CEDR now and let them resolve it, I'm just highlighting to people how difficult it is to cancel contracts and the fact that VM consistently "loose" letters

  @virginmedia sort out the connection issues in Cardiff, trying to work from home isn’t easy with you guys

• 
  Scottt Kirkwoodd (@2gurlys1kupp) reported 3 minutes ago

  @jokewapo @O2 @virginmedia Mate how bad is the 02 signal up our way now! Phoned them to see if there was an issue and it's something to do with the mast

• 
  Jayneadele (@Jayanic) reported 3 minutes ago

  Trying to contact @virginmedia So frustrating! Need to sort out your customer service! 😡

• 
  Alex Davies (@daviesa02) reported 4 minutes ago

  @virginmedia can I DM regarding an issue I am having with an online form?

• 
  Jan (@geminicat7) reported 5 minutes ago

  🛜 I’m safely back from the dentist’s 😷 (only a 6 monthly check-up and all was well) but now our internet is down and not likely to be resolved until 17:30! @virginmedia 👋 I can’t afford to use up my mobile data chatting on social media so I’ll see you when / if it’s sorted!

• 
  MachineGunLukey (@MachineGunLuk3y) reported 6 minutes ago

  @virginmedia will I get compensation from you for being down ? …… I work from home and you are now costing me money for every hour you are down ?

• 
  Tom Quante (@TomQuante) reported 7 minutes ago

  @virginmedia You won't answer your phone (apparently this is a tactic you use..?) and I am not paying my increased bill. Cancelled my DD with you so I will let you chase me instead. Your customer service is still terrible

• 
  Abbie (@abz_06) reported 8 minutes ago

  @virginmedia you have left my 71 year old mother without internet and TV since 18th July due to a “problem in the area” and now you’re saying it won’t be fixed until 31st July? Two whole weeks you’ve left an elderly person completely isolated with no form of entertainment.

• 
  Stephen Old #FBPE (@StephenOld) reported 10 minutes ago

  @thenorth4theeu @virginmedia I tried to change a few years ago but they made the process impossible. They sent me texts instead of emails and no other providers will deal with Virgin directly. They have just been fined for their poor customer service, I think. They don't even reach basic standards of decency

• 
  SPAHCRAB (@spahcrab) reported 11 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I'm already planning on cancelling my service. This must be a speed run record as I haven't even plugged in the router, nor received the damn thing.
