  • briggsym matt (@briggsym) reported from Wickford, England

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

  • 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.

  • 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 🤬

  • 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.

  • MissFayeRay FClay (@MissFayeRay) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia FYI - the service status on your website/app says there is no broadband issues, but when I go onto troubleshooting with intermittent WiFi, it says there’s a big problem in my area. Not overly helpful, have been trying for a couple of hrs to fix ourselves 🙄

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

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

  • 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!

  • 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 :)

  • 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 ?

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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!!!!

  • 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!?

  • 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 😤

  • 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???

  • MikeBrownnutt Mike Brownnutt (@MikeBrownnutt) reported

    @virginmedia It’s rather an upsetting situation. It would be really good to talk to a customer service human being.

  • adamlazzy Adam (@adamlazzy) reported

    @virginmedia why do you bother having a customer service help line? I have been trying get through for 2 hours tonight? And 2 times cut off after an hour waiting on hold. You want to put my bill up to upgrade your services yet you can’t offer the basics of speaking to customers

  • kraftykoala Gemma (@kraftykoala) reported

    @virginmedia @cheezybeans over to you. Yes, our wired devices are dropping out too, which is why we know it’s not a wifi problem.

  • killieboy1962 Laurence Clark (@killieboy1962) reported

    Just spent 45 mins on hold to discuss changing or cancelling my package with @virginmedia and my call ended maybe if I cancel my direct debit they will want to talk to me 🤔

  • MikeBrownnutt Mike Brownnutt (@MikeBrownnutt) reported

    @virginmedia I have even tried password reset but you need last bill date and amount, but it is a new account with no bill. This is stupid!!!

  • Esro31 Esro31 (@Esro31) reported

    @virginmedia Your customers are trying to give you appropriate notice and you don’t let us get through to you in order to do that. It’s really not my problem and yet, you’ve tried to make it mine. @Ofcom

  • upinsmoke66 Ben S (@upinsmoke66) reported

    @virginmedia Complain by post Send your complaint to: Virgin Media, Sunderland, SR43 4AA I'll have to go the paper route since your online help is so atrocious

  • bleedingrose_88 Kim Hamilton (@bleedingrose_88) reported

    @virginmedia Apparently everything is fine when it clearly isn't, my husband and I have had to add data in our mobiles every month due to the service always dipping and cutting us off when gaming or streaming even with a booster!

  • jmilprint Jazza (@jmilprint) reported

    This service is Virgin on the ridiculous!! #virginmedia

  • upinsmoke66 Ben S (@upinsmoke66) reported

    @virginmedia No, enough is enough. 8 hours to be told my install has been cancelled and I have to start the process over again with your sales team. You lot can do one. I was a customer since the NTL days but you're a joke now.
