    @Ofcom Hi just gone through the complaints procedure with virgin media but they said they are waiting for ofcom to give the result if the speed test you did (can provide in DM if you reply) they ate saying you have to dictate what compensation level I should receive? Can U help?

  • Flaminhaystack Antonia (@Flaminhaystack) reported from London, England

    @jenniseex @bt_uk @virginmedia Yep. I have very poor Internet in my home and pay large prices. Everytime I phone to get it rectified, I'm told there is nothing wrong with the WiFi and my house is the issue. Pathetic. I detest them

  • Paul_Wingfield Paul Wingfield (@Paul_Wingfield) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I need to leave Virgin media because my bill has gone up by over 50%. I can't do it on the phone because you're not answering and your website doesn't have an option to close my account. Your live online help isn't answering either. What should I do?

  • jackarronscarth jack (@jackarronscarth) reported from Dartford, England

    @ArraSails1977 @virginmedia How did you get it on mines still not working just got black screen

  • MrGarySmith Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia I’d like to #stayconnected but you have not returned calls re slow speeds I’ve been getting since summer 20 but still charging me for, think after 12yrs as a customer you’d think you might want to keep me, if I don’t get a call BEFORE Mon I’ll cancel and start a new

  • MrGarySmith Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia Hmmm. No the test was done on Sept I ten got a letter about 2 months later which confirmed my suspicions of a slow service after a new router and CMP plugs I’ve been trying to discuss what’s next since then. Need that callback! @Ofcom

  • MrGarySmith Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia Are you reading my tweets? It’s not a fault! You’ve run a 30 day test you are running far under the service I’m paying for, I was waiting for a call to discuss what VM are proposing or if I should leave!!!! @Ofcom

  • MrsDyer25 Laura Dyer (@MrsDyer25) reported from Great Baddow, England

    @virginmedia Yes and I am doing it again now. No network issue has been found

  • JimboUK71 James Aubrey (@JimboUK71) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia I’m still waiting since 15/12 for my boosters, and you’ve sent me a v6 box, for no reason. Spent another hour on hold, only to get cut off. Please arrange a callback to get these issues resolved. 07966594276 Thanks!

  • MrGarySmith Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia Why don’t you do that as so far you’ve sent me the link to the community group Fail 1. Then the 150 no not connecting fail 2 then 0345454111 is not connecting fail 3 You really know how to test a very long standing customer don’t you!

  • elaine_leggatt Elaine Leggatt (@elaine_leggatt) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia Moving house. Used the chat stream give all my details then no one answers when moved on. Get on the phone to he told ring back . Ring later then get cut off twice after long wait. I hope you will not charge me more for the service I am trying to sort 😡😡

  • jackarronscarth jack (@jackarronscarth) reported from Dartford, England

    Paid for #UFC257 through @virginmedia and it’s not working ?! #virginmedia

  • MrsDyer25 Laura Dyer (@MrsDyer25) reported from Great Baddow, England

    @virginmedia So what can be done to improve the technical issues we are having? Could it be our equipment?

  • MrGarySmith Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia hello? Anybody home? Still waiting 4 my callback which should’ve had a week ago to tell me what you’re doing about charging me 💰💵💸 for at least 4 months for service I wasn’t getting! Tried calling can’t even get on a waiting / hold line... need to know so I can🚪

  • MrGarySmith Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia That’s my point I’ve been trying to sort this out but not getting the response of callback to decide what to do you guys also need to compensate for the service speed paid for not received! Back no ones calling me back...@Ofcom

  • RobHPayne @RobHPayne 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@RobHPayne) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I am trying to contact your customer service team regarding #nuisancecalls plaguing my 84 yr old (isolating) Dad, all numbers online are unobtainable or recorded mssgs which cut off - im right in thinking you are a tele-communications provider aren't I ?

  • MrGarySmith Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia Don’t another post with link as the first one was ignored by Virgin also contacted @ofcom and @ASA_UK re claims of false advertising of 1 GB service which isn’t actually available in Dartford once you do get through. Want to talk? #stillwaiting #poorservice #shouldLlleave?

  • dazzgedd73 dazz ii am (@dazzgedd73) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia been trying to calm your customer service team but get cut off all the time, want to take out broadband but it says online I need to call? I hope this isn’t a representation of your service!

  • Strattsy51 Steve ✊🏻 (@Strattsy51) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia why is live chat taking absolutely ages to connect me to anyone? I’d like to cancel my service, but if I was joining as a new customer I’m put through immediately. Are you making it difficult to cancel on purpose?

  • Flaminhaystack Antonia (@Flaminhaystack) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I've had engineers round from Virgin media on several occasions. Once I had no Internet for weeks because the engineer wired up the connection to the wrong house outside and I didn't even get a refund for the lack of service.

  • SamuelCoverdale Samuel Coverdale (@SamuelCoverdale) reported from Great Shelford, England

    @virginmedia can you have someone look at CNBC 613, seems to have a problem with the ticker. (Also, when can we get cnbc and cnn in HD).

  • robertfoster77 Robert Foster (@robertfoster77) reported from Neillstown, Leinster

    The commentator on virgin for this game is a dreadful. Said Firmino header that hit post was out of this world. It was six yards out, should bury it. Athletic second goal was some finish, he says it was average. Wtf #LIVATL #VirginMedia #virginmediasport

  • johndoran21 John P J D (@johndoran21) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    @virginmedia well after couple of lengthy phone calls today to virgin, I was told account were up & working again, when I rung today there was message saying there was a fault, tried to login this eve, Dane shit as yest, NO authenticity code sent, complete load of shit stay clear

  • Celia181 Celia Robinson (@Celia181) reported from Ashford, England

    @virginmedia A new installation. He just wants to cancel

  • N3CR0M4NC3R Daniel Barnes (Mr.N3CR0) (@N3CR0M4NC3R) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia Not the case. When I rang customer service before and asked if my line could have 500mbps i was told it wasn't capable of receiving it yet your online checker shows my street as capable of 500mbps so there's clearly some misinformation or incorrect information

  • dragonlovingLFC Lisa January (@dragonlovingLFC) reported from Bromley, England

    @Xs1ghtTV @virginmedia Mine shown me the 4 small screens of football and to sign in but wouldn't accept the login details.

  • Pammy52 Pam McHugh (@Pammy52) reported from Portsmouth, England

    @virginmedia I cannot expand, there is 6 weeks worth of issues to discuss and last night, I was told the agents I have spoken to have not put notes on the system so that’s my fault, I am a liar and policy means you’ve done nothing wrong. I need someone to contact me.

  • T4RGY66 Dan Targett (@T4RGY66) reported from Wilton, England

    Can I cancel the sport channels please @virginmedia

  • dragonlovingLFC Lisa January (@dragonlovingLFC) reported from Bromley, England

    Trying to watch the footie on the @virginmedia app. Watch the first few mins then signs me out. My correct login doesn't work. Makes a change from their dodgy signal. Fecking useless

  • Pammy52 Pam McHugh (@Pammy52) reported from Portsmouth, England

    @virginmedia Quite frankly after what I was told last night. I have no idea if any of my complaints have been logged. You resolved one complaint by offering something, then promptly charged me for it. You owe money.
