  @virginmedia Hi I have an issue with my current plan? It says I’ve cancelled my O2 benefits but I never received the sim nor did I cancel.

  Lewis Allen ⚒ (@_Lewis_A) reported 9 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 11 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

  Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Andrew007Uk) reported 27 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.

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

• 
  Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 28 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia Actually that’s wrong, I received an email to advise that the complaint had been resolved and had to respond saying it hasn’t. What hope is there when you can’t even get a complaint right?

• 
  Andee Byford (@BobCratchitt) reported 29 minutes ago from Romford, England

  @virginmedia Yes I have checked the service status, it is the first thing I do & all was fine. The issues is with the cable Ethernet & the phone connection in the Hub 4. I don’t use your WiFi setup as my house is fully cabled for networking. I am a Network Architect, so have done basic tests

  jordan lockey (@LockeyJordan) reported 30 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia I am not paying the bill until you fix your ****** internet plus your trying to scam us by raising our bill to £225 even though it's supposed to be £130 and we have never missed a payment

• 
  Lisa Philpott (@Lisa2672) reported 30 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.

• 
  Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 34 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia I’ve spent over 2 hours on the phone and I lost count of people I’ve spoken to when I got to 12. That’s just today and this has gone on for weeks. Pretty sure you would’ve lost me as a very longstanding customer by the time 28 days is up.

• 
  grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported 34 minutes ago from Thundersley, England

  @virginmedia A number of times. But let’s be honest, they’re nothing but messengers. There is no escalation, and they can’t even call the construction company to escalate issues. As someone who has worked within many projects teams, and mapped business processes, yours is simply shocking

• 
  Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported 37 minutes ago from Aveley, England

  @virginmedia Yes he left a name & phone number, said I should I let him know if I still have issues. I've contacted him 3 times including this morning since his visit last Friday.

• 
  Pippa Crowther (@getpipfit) reported 41 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia we have had no Internet or TV since yesterday afternoon/evening. Service checker seems down and unable to log into my virgin media as just spins or says unavailable SM1 1RB please advise.

• 
  Nick Miller 🇺🇦 (@NickMillerUK) reported 47 minutes ago from South Ockendon, England

  @virginmedia It’s everything downstream of the LAN ports, so wifi on the box is on and working but all his wired network is offline. I have asked him to check all the cabling to make sure it’s all connected.

• 
  David Ball (@dicksielives) reported 56 minutes ago 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.

  @itvnews please help. @virginmedia refusing to prioritise an 87 year old with a heart condition who needs a 24/7 phone line for her Emergency button a priority. Refusing to send an Engineer for ANOTHER 6 days.

• 
  LES ⚒ (@PL13Les) reported 58 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  What is going on with the horrific intermittent WIFI connection in SM5 for the past week. Website says there is a problem BUT have to wait til Friday for an engineer. Abysmal performance @virginmedia

  @virginmedia - They need to talk to someone about my account options. They will call me back "later". - They hang up while I am pleading with them to stay on the line.

  Nick S. (nickncs) (@nickncs_cP) reported 3 minutes ago

  @itsuu___ yeah its a DNS or routing issue on virgin media's end. because the VPN connection is working all traffic is routed through that on the virgin media side. so to them they are connecting you to vpn, then it's the vpn that's connecting you to twitter.

  @AlanRob68902430 @Bbmorg Can you drive about with virgin media and get signal even when you are in remote areas ?

• 
  Adam Fletcher (@Fletchmyster85) reported 3 minutes ago

  @virginmedia 3-4 weeks now I've had issues with my broadband and TV. Tried calling but have to drop off because I don't have 30+ mins to wait. Start chats, after the long AI process I sit waiting for a person. Leave chat 30+ mins. Fill out complaints asking for a call from you...

  Dirk Diggler (@dirkdiggler44) reported 5 minutes ago

  @virginmedia can’t log into my account.Rang customer service and their script doesn’t cover my problem. gets usual change password advise yet I can log on with my phone so nt a password issue. They have to escalate which takes 5-10 working days. No wonder Ofcom fine you millions

  @virginmedia I have more problems with your Virgin 360. When I'm watching a programme that is also being recorded. When I change channel during the adverts and then turn back it won't let me rewind! The old software let me do this from 2017-2026... Why did you remove so many features?

• 
  Adrian Weale (@Edeaulx) reported 12 minutes ago

  I would contact you directly @virginmedia but your 'My Virgin Media' website won't allow me to sign in. I assume that this kind of obstructiveness is what got you fined so lavishly by @Ofcom

• 
  Nick S. (nickncs) (@nickncs_cP) reported 12 minutes ago

  @virginmedia something is wrong with your internet network. maybe DNS server issue? some sites down on all devices but able to reach them if using a vpn.
