@virginmedia They advise they would send a signal to router, I then turn off after 5 mins, for 10 mins and when back on all will be working! Well it didn’t make a difference and my speed test shows my downloads dropped from 236mbs to 36. The issue is uploads tho at 0.5mbps. On hold again!

@virginmedia you have now postponed an installation scheduled for 4th November to Christmas Eve! Can’t see that happening. Maybe someone actually based in the UK might bother to contact me about this? Minded to cancel otherwise. Not acceptable service.

@virginmedia Hi, the VMGo app is telling me I need to upgrade to watch live tv but I’ve got the right package to have access and have until today watched live via the app. Is there an issue? Tried restarting it etc.

@virginmedia My phone is now over two weeks late, which isn’t an issue, I understand waiting for one to become available to send but to suggest I send this phone back and go without a phone until one eventually gets sent to me is just ridiculous. I’m not gonna pay my bills with no phone…

@virginmedia Obviously i don't have proof because your site doesn't say send recorded so why would i, my number was ported in July and I wrote same time, I have no reason to not send letter and you can see from any data usage that I stopped using your service

I’ve had 3 hours sleep, I’m trying to catch up and within 10 mins I’ve had four calls from **** bags pretending to be from Virgin Media. The next **** to do this, I’ll be tracking your location and paying you a ******* visit! 😡

@virginmedia I contacted customer services for an update on my iPhone 14 Pro Max. I was informed by your Twitter account I wouldn’t need to send my current phone back until I receive my new one. I was then informed by the gentleman on the phone my new phone won’t be sent until I send this

@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

@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.

@virginmedia somehow you have reset my Dad’s Virgin media box, LAN seems to be off and the wifi on it is back on. This is rubbish because we have network setup there with much better hardware than your box. Now none of it works and I am hundreds of miles from his house. Why?

@virginmedia The issue has now been resolved just after my tweet, I was just very angry at the time. Thank you though for responding.

Be careful if you ever want to cancel a @virginmedia account, I wrote to them, twice as per their T&C because you can never get through on chat or phone, they deny receipt of letters because you cant send recorded delivery so they just keep sending bills and chasing payments

@virginmedia You didn’t reach out sadly and I’ve now cancelled the installation. Having spoken to someone clearly at home with her baby screaming in the background I have zero confidence that you are able to help us.

@virginmedia Hi. Have no wifi (green light) and despite rebooting several times have a had no luck. This has happened after following your instruction to reboot for ‘faster speed’. Please advise asap - no issues in the area according to your website.

@scribblercat @virginmedia The frequency of posts like this is why I'll never leave BT. IME, they're reliable and I care about that far more than speed, price, etc.

@virginmedia It's okay I've taken it up with CEDR now and let them resolve it, I'm just highlighting to people how difficult it is to cancel contracts and the fact that VM consistently "loose" letters

@virginmedia I have done that three times it’s all automated and say they will send a text. The text doesn’t work. Rang again, automated, saying there is no broadband issue. There is and has been since Saturday. The people who have Virgin near where I live are also without service

@virginmedia No the price increase is never ending, so I'm switching to Humax which has no subscription cost and the internet is so patchy with virgin no point stopping, I don't need a landline anymore either.

@virginmedia No, I had to put the phone down as I was getting nowhere, the lady kept repeating what I already knew and basically called me a liar regarding the quoted bill

@virginmedia no internet yet again and you have the cheek to call trying to sell me more and tie me in even longer. Web site for checking service status also down

@paullewismoney Excellent news that insurers have to treat existing customers and potential new customers the same on insurance rates but how can we get places like @virginmedia (and probably many others) to do the same. New deals are so much cheaper.

@virginmedia your website and service status pages is down and so is my whole internet connection. I have a hub 3.0 web page trying to fix the problem but it's saying it can't middle of the work day when I support the healthcare sector.
