    Trying to get through to @virginmedia to ‘renegotiate’ my broadband contract (which is long up). Been on hold for 90 mins over two days (understandable, given our current crisis), but the calls cut off after 30 mins & feature the same, awful hold music. HELP!

  • Cod49ers Marc Tobin (@Cod49ers) reported from Grays, England

    You make mistakes in life. Going back to @virginmedia is one of my biggest. Internet is awful, can’t sign into the media service and the customer service is nonexistent. I advise you do not do it!!!

    @virginmedia hi guys I know it’s very busy but I was just wondering if you can send me a replacement SIM card as mine keeps losing signal and dropping calls

  • TheFakeItalian Carlo Margaritelli (@TheFakeItalian) reported from Romford, England

  • fizzyade Adrian Carpenter (@fizzyade) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia It’s been saying no since yesterday. Since the issues with some static IP customers arose. There’s clearly an issue that you are ignoring despite multiple people telling you. One DS and one US and no GRE.

  • PaulLindsay10 Paul Lindsay (@PaulLindsay10) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia Re the systems down it was an area issue. WiFi no. Lack of communication and customer seevice, no engineer needed!

  • onfe1 Eddie (@onfe1) reported from Romford, England

    @aaronosher @virginmedia Fairly common problem with the hardware in the Virgin hub unfortunately

  • mrs_harket BeKind_Charlatan🌱 (@mrs_harket) reported from Rayleigh, England

    @CybillLiberty @virginmedia @reece_dinsdale had problems & got it sorted. They do seem like an awful company tbh.

  • June299858 June (@June299858) reported from London, England

  • Brooksy1982 Victoria Robson (@Brooksy1982) reported

    @virginmedia your service is absolutely shocking. Avoid at all costs 😡

  • pipkinsp p hartley (@pipkinsp) reported

    @virginmedia I know there’s an issue without calling or going online I’ve not had a landline for 3 days 🙄 but you’ll still take my money 🤬🤬

  • brysatra 𝓂 𝒶 𝓎 𝒶 𝓇 (@brysatra) reported

    @virginmedia Yeah, it only took an hour and multiple phone calls to cancel an appointment. Great job VM. 👍🙄

  • Sparklymanda sparkles (@Sparklymanda) reported

    @virginmedia My only issue is it won’t let me call out and there’s no one else around to use their phone.

  • Victoriahollie3 @vickybarking@mastondonapp.uk (@Victoriahollie3) reported

    @middlemoo @virginmedia I'm **** at maths but I reckon that's around a 8% increase. It's outrageous.

  • ScotHayes_ Scot Hayes (@ScotHayes_) reported

    @virginmedia None that I know about. But im paying for 516mbps and an upload speed of 35mbps but only getting 100mbps and 20mbps at the wifi router. So you are failing to provide the service im paying for!!

  • mattyremf Matthew Olliver (@mattyremf) reported

    @virginmedia how come it is impossible to get through to your cancellations team or even cancel a service with you. Dropped calls, evasive tactics constantly requoting this and package that. WhatsApp is worse than calls.

  • OscarHoyle Oscar 🌷 (They/Them) (@OscarHoyle) reported

    @WhiskyWizard31 @virginmedia EE are brilliant here. Most importantly they have amazing customer service which was the reason we left VM. We downgraded speed to 73MB/S but I've hardly noticed any difference, also the 73MB/S seem more consistent as VM would often drop quite slower.

  • yellocarse10 Judith Ashforth (@yellocarse10) reported

    @virginmedia still waiting for my internet to be connected, have a contract that should have started 18 November 22!! Raised a complaint which had duly closed by Virginmedia with no resolution offered!! Even emailed direct to CEO Lutz Schuler with no response!!

  • word_me_ Me (@word_me_) reported

    @virginmedia thanks virgin Due to an administration error by yourselves my service cant be installed today even tho we have informed you about the error
