    @virginmedia I'm trying to cancel as I'm moving and asked for confirmation which was not provided , the duty manager refused to speak with me when I tried to escalate

  • Weaverfooty14 Michael James Weaver (@Weaverfooty14) reported from London, England

  • nicolas_laborie Nicolas Laborie ( He/Him ) (@nicolas_laborie) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Still no broadband and now the estimate is over a week !?! Terrible

  • guinnessaddick Gerry (@guinnessaddick) reported from Dartford, England

    @thorogodies @Missbwattie @virginmedia We don’t have many problems with ours, surprised you do, as you’re only round the corner, must be a box problem.

  • KikassP kikassPhotography(official) 🇬🇧🇺🇦 (@KikassP) reported from London, England

    Please @virginmedia can you change your waiting music. Its the same 4 tracks adnauseum & very poor quality at that. No wonder customers who wait for over an hour hang up. Its enough to drive you mad with these earworms all day.

  • getpipfit Pippa Crowther (@getpipfit) reported 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.

  • feyipuk Phil (@feyipuk) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia Think it's more to do with the upgrade work then; when I select Help from the Help & Settings menu, the screen goes blank. I'm thinking it needs a network connection to work. Any plans for a Hub with built in 02 sim to increase connectivity? Currently hot spotting my phone.

  • KatiePurkiss Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    . @virginmedia down yet again? Not able to watch On Demand and error messages. Plus their website is down. 🙄

  • wonky1961 Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @Mattallwright 2 years on since I have been having trouble with Virgin Media (fingers crossed) they may have now get an uninterrupted supply after charging me late payments more than double my Media prices whilst as a Vulnerable Person they were awful

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

    @virginmedia You’ve now sent me the same unhelpful link about compensation 3 times. This will only compensate me if I have no service, and as I have a service (albeit 3mbps) this, as I’ve repeated several times, doesn’t help me. Another example of poor customer service

  • nigelrumsey Nigel Rumsey (@nigelrumsey) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia Your link says it can’t find any issues, there are issues. Can you advise if it’s being investigated? What’s the eta? Thanks.

  • 1CreativeRay Dr Stower and the Stock Market of Madness 🦍 (@1CreativeRay) reported from Wainscott, England

    @virginmedia Hi VM, I ordered a replacement remote control for my TIVO box. Just realised that was a couple of months ago but it never came. When trying online again it says as I’ve had one within six months I can’t order another. Please check that the first was ever sent, thanks

  • Gertie58 Sharon Hills 💗 (@Gertie58) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia All of our WiFi appliances stopped working at the exact same time. The WiFi keeps trying to connect but just whirls and whirls. No issues with our appliances

  • _RhysThorne Rhys (@_RhysThorne) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia have to be *the* most unreliable WiFi providers. 2 days with no internet and it’s still not working!

  • nicolas_laborie Nicolas Laborie ( He/Him ) (@nicolas_laborie) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia still no answers and no broadband - can someone help !? I’m working from home and it’s so frustrating

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

    @virginmedia Thankyou. The site still won't let me check status.. reported this.. says your site down. I've now spoken to someone as I need Internet for work. Someone coming out on Saturday!

  • Gertie58 Sharon Hills 💗 (@Gertie58) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia We have broadband but no WiFi. Rang customer services on Thursday lunchtime to be told that although nothing shows up in the service checker it' known fault and should be back today, now it's almost two days without WiFi, just want update from someone who knows what's happening

  • KikassP kikassPhotography(official) 🇬🇧🇺🇦 (@KikassP) reported from London, England

    @thatmisterj @virginmedia I'm so sick of it I WILL be leaving Virgin. No-one picking up phone, Just saying there appears to be an intermittent fault. Well No **** Sherlock, I already know that. A dumb text telling me to do what I've already done. I'm not thick Virgin I just want the service I pay for.

  • RobertSSmith66 Robert Smith (@RobertSSmith66) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia any chance you can get your website to work? Change Package Chat does nothing! Links sent via mail do not work! Hyperlink sent by text doesn’t work! Call centre (working from home in India?) worse than useless! Ever heard of Customer Centric design? #Useless

  • pwingers Paul Wingfield BSc CEng MIET (@pwingers) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia I tried again today. After faffing with phone, then faulty website, and back to phone, I eventually found a very helpful assistant who managed to convince me to stay; happily. It was close though, as much room for improvement. Please sort out your customer services & website.

    Fantastic service @virginmedia, we had Gig1 installed early July but (first world problems) our devices were only pulling 290mbps - a quick chat and they had someone round in days, the guy then decided to get us a Hub 5 and the service has been flawless since.

  • FennellyKieran Kieran Fennelly (@FennellyKieran) reported

    @virginmedia What on earth is happening to your service. Every day I'm having issues with internet connectivity and it's getting on my nerves. How on earth am I supposed to work from home on Teams without a stable connection? Down again at the moment 😡
