    I wonder if anyone has a #skyglass connected to a #virginmedia broadband? At least with #SkyQ your TV service will be unaffected

  • LutherB40510976 Luther Blissett (@LutherB40510976) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia can you give me a direct number to call to cancel my contract. I've used whataspp / webchat and spoken to two people in last 24 hours - but to no avail.

  • MelanieHart72 Melanie Hart (@MelanieHart72) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia You have put my bill up from £84 to £96 in one month and you are not providing a service I should have my full services 24/7 for that price and getting any compensation it like getting blood out of a stone !!! Disgusting service

  • _Lewis_A Lewis Allen ⚒ (@_Lewis_A) reported 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.

  • Lisa2672 Lisa Philpott (@Lisa2672) reported from Rayleigh, England

    @virginmedia Sort it out Virgin IT’S NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!!!! Can’t even log on to get service updates 😡😡😡

  • farnsworth_adam Adam Farnsworth (@farnsworth_adam) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia It’s appalling they can act so quickly What about the speed issue?

  • KimEdwards48 Kim Edwards (@KimEdwards48) reported from Stifford, England

    @AmandaSeager @virginmedia Same in Central London, my Company uses Virgin and we have had issues all day long

  • CarolB29041964 Carol Dover (@CarolB29041964) reported from Stifford, England

    Just how **** are Virgin Media...my email was down for two evenings and probably the days as well earlier in the week, and now it's down again. Virgin Media i need to access my emails....this level of service is unacceptable. I'm paying for this crap service! @virginmedia

  • GoonerGrizzly grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported from Thundersley, England

    @virginmedia I have spoken to your CS team about raising a complaint and have been told that the complaints procedure is for existing customers. As I am yet to go live, I am not considered a customer and therefore have no where to go.

  • LutherB40510976 Luther Blissett (@LutherB40510976) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia what is the number for your complaints department? It seems impossible to actually terminate my contract with you. Am I in the Hotel California?

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

    @virginmedia My broadband is down again - area21. Any idea of when it will be fixed?

  • dicksielives David Ball (@dicksielives) reported from Romford, England

    Hi @virginmedia I ordered a new phone via my wife (who is already on Virgin mobile) last Friday. I was told to wait for a confirmation email which I still have not received. Can you help? I have the order No.

  • joybrenda Brenda (@joybrenda) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia help why have you made it so difficult to log a landline vault on line. Need to call, as line out of order since friday. I am certain it's systems fault as display message I have seen on previous occasions.

  • Mustxkim Mustakim. (@Mustxkim) reported from London, England

    Virgin Media moving weird. My wifi is working but for certain things. YouTube, IG, Disney+ is all fine but Safari, Twitter and other apps ain’t working. Fix up man. I ain’t paying all this money for daily issues @virginmedia

  • shah4569 Shah 🦅 (@shah4569) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia bring back customer service to the UK. Philippines is a joke!

  • GoonerGrizzly grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported from Thundersley, England

    @virginmedia This seems to be the standard message coming from Virgin Media. “Computer says no”. If you can’t see the issue with this then you (Virgin Media) are the problem. I’m inclined to contact the ombudsman as you have sold me a service which you blatantly cannot provide or install.

  • _Lewis_A Lewis Allen ⚒ (@_Lewis_A) reported from Romford, England

    So @virginmedia want £288 to cancel a contract I've had since 2018. Can I get through to anyone to speak about it? NO!!

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

    @virginmedia, your app does not seem to think there's a problem with the internet in area 21. I think different. Can you check?!

  • Lisa2672 Lisa Philpott (@Lisa2672) reported 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.

    @virginmedia Thanks for the support. How do I claim back for the next 5 days of missing service before the engineer gets here, assuming they do?

  • megansarar M (@megansarar) reported

    @virginmedia my mother in law has had no internet for 4 days and getting no support. Totally unacceptable and impossible getting through to anyone one over the phone.

  • Creasey098 Migs (@Creasey098) reported

    @virginmedia as iv stated,im not stupid i did everything iv been told to do,this lies on your incompetancy not me,i missed the entire fight because of your service!

  • deanie76 Paul Dean (@deanie76) reported

    @virginmedia virgin whys my broadband not working upstairs thought you had the best broadband around

  • paulmcgarry65 Paul McGarry (@paulmcgarry65) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia Still no broadband, TV, phone, 41 hours outage now. Status page indicates that you hope to fix before 10:00 today. What actually is going on? I got a message at 13:42 yesterday stating that you had identified the problem…so what is the resolution?

  • HandsomeEddie1 HandsomeEddie (@HandsomeEddie1) reported

    @virginmedia The problem was resolved yesterday. 1) the website didn't show a prob when there was 2) yr agent insisted there was no prob when I was reporting 6 other houses had a problem 3) Yr agent said we'd be told when fixed - didn't happen. Shoddy

  • sonalkhimji Sonal Khimji (@sonalkhimji) reported

    @virginmedia my elderly vulnerable parent’s broadband is not working since last Thursday. She’s been told to book a technician. Your call handler only offered her next Thurs. She told them she’s not at home. Call h said she will have to keep the appt or pay £25. Bully tactics VM
