  • BancoDePapa グラハム・スミス® ©Official (@BancoDePapa) reported from London, England

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

  • _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!!

  • 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.

  • 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?!

  • Lozraus Rex (@Lozraus) reported from London, England

    @_MxMike @virginmedia It’s been down for us since 1am 😫

  • 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 😡😡😡

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • _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.

  • 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?

  • GoonerGrizzly grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported 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

    What a surprise, @virginmedia not working again! One day or one week (may be getting ahead of myself here) you may actually be able to rely on the internet being available.

  • NeilSolan Neil Solan (@NeilSolan) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia what is going on in Wirral? Had service restored for about two hours and now it’s off again. Done all the checks. Two hours service in the last twenty one hours. Absolutely shocking service. Sort it out or let me cancel the agreement.

  • FionaDykes88 Fiona Rollings (@FionaDykes88) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia in the meantime the provider I was looking at going to, there earliest installation date has gone from 3rd Feb to 10th march and I'm now going to be without Internet if I cancel. I've spoken to 3 agents who all quote different prices! Very Frustrating!!

  • NeilSolan Neil Solan (@NeilSolan) reported

    @virginmedia Yeah there is an issue in my area. Now saying likely fix is 2:45am. That will be 2 hours service in 30 hours. It’s not good enough. The reliability of your service is laughable.

  • lonewolfgene Deepdishy (@lonewolfgene) reported

    @Catherine_1503 @virginmedia You should delete this whole post. You’ve just given the whole of the internet your address. Some bad people out there. Please be safe and delete this.

  • cludgie78 Mark Rainford (@cludgie78) reported

    @virginmedia It’s still down - no service. How can I speak to someone, no options on the support line. This is now ridiculous, how can I get this fixed and probably cancel this account

  • emmaharrison31 emma harrison (@emmaharrison31) reported

    @virginmedia Since Wednesday I haven’t been able to work at home properly as internet keeps loosing service constantly i sent a what’s app and was told your couldn’t take any more messages I have tried calling which when I got through failed ran test. Came off WiFi today and ran test

  • Pipkin84 Pips (@Pipkin84) reported

    No internet for over 48 hours now in Dudley. Website says all hunky dory but when you phone up they finally admit its going to be down until 26th January! Pathetic service for my £80pm #virginmedia

  • James27703642 James (@James27703642) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia there is an issue but no info on when it is likely to be fixed. So frustrating

  • cheenali31 shane ali (@cheenali31) reported

    @virginmedia I have raised a complaint in regards to persistent calls from you trying to sell me things I requested to opt out 8 months ago and I’m still getting calls despite me raising a complaint today I’m still getting calls @Ofcom
