    Catherine Gray (@cathgray23) reported from Horbury, England

    @virginmedia We got the first bill, the customer service guy was still answering my calls and he promised we wouldn’t be charged for TV. We were! Our next bill still has TV on and he is not replying to emails, texts or voicemails. One of the reasons we agreed to switch was personal service

  • cathgray23
    Catherine Gray (@cathgray23) reported from Horbury, England

    @virginmedia We discussed the Oomph package which I initially agreed to then changed my mind within the 14 days, informed the customer service guy, by phone, text and email, he said he would cancel. The engineer came and documented that TV had been refused and therefore didn’t install

    Claire Stewart (@chococlaire77) reported from Sheffield, England

    Well @virginmedia what a waste of our time today,we booked an engineer in the time slot 8-12,and nobody arrived I’m afraid.Tried contacting you,and can’t get through...can anyone help?

  • ollieinleeds
    Oliver Dean #TeamLH (@ollieinleeds) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia you must have the most unreliable internet service in the UK. Several times a year it goes down for a full working day. Again today, "Unplanned Outage" yet your van was here within seconds. Unplanned my arse. Compensate my loss of earnings! #poorService

    Gary Fretwell (@GaryFretwell1) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia I appreciate your advice, but rather than ask fellow customers for a fix I’d rather hope @virginmedia trained staff would be able to rectify this issue. I’ll try the forum, but this is not the way to run a business….@Ofcom

  • cathgray23
    Catherine Gray (@cathgray23) reported from Horbury, England

    @virginmedia joined for broadband, being charged for Tv package which we don’t have and a phone line which doesn’t work!!! Mobile no. given to us to discuss account won’t pick up or reply to messages or emails!!! Disgusting service!

  • Sheffield_Boy
    Marc Riley (@Sheffield_Boy) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia got a flashing Internet light on router that won't go away so my WiFi (and therefore TV/ streaming etc) not working. Tried rebooting, resetting, the works. Online help / faq no help. Are there any issues?

  • Ray_Lennox
    Tom Clark (@Ray_Lennox) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia what is going on with WiFi in Sheffield. It’s been awful for weeks

  • Mr_Mark_Taylor
    Mark Taylor (@Mr_Mark_Taylor) reported from Kirkburton, England

    Morning @virginmedia. Is there a broadband issue for HD8? The service status facility isn’t working on your website. Thanks.

    @SkyHelpTeam went to renew our sky package and they quote us £99 for new package deal bye bye sky il cancel our sky package and go somewhere else and maybe try @virginmedia #ripoff

  • cathgray23
    Catherine Gray (@cathgray23) reported from Horbury, England

    @virginmedia The mobile no. of the customer services chap who sold us the package. I’m not bothered about the phone line I just don’t won’t to be paying for TV we don’t have and I can’t phone virgin without my phone line or I’ll be charged.

  • Pontemiller
    Nick Lawton (@Pontemiller) reported from Knottingley, England

    I think very soon I'll be saying 👋 to @ThreeUK and 🤝 to @virginmedia...over the last couple of years, the signal has got increasingly worse. I have just bought a new phone, but the problem persists...really unhappy.

  • goonie2008
    Andrew Lee (@goonie2008) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia @O2 Its definitely you lot Robin as your broadband service was a disgrace when I moved to you and I had to pay out for cancelling contract early. If this is what’s to come O2 then you will a customer of over 15 years.

  • DaveFincher1984
    David Fincher (@DaveFincher1984) reported from Mirfield, England

    @virginmedia currently getting a spinning blue loading circle when trying to access the YouTube app via my v6 box. Any solution you suggest? Been like it for a few days now.

    @carltonnash @virginmedia Good luck! Unless they're trying to retain your business, they're as bad as @sky

    @virginmedia WiFi constantly dropping out. How do I fix this plz

  • zackwynj
    zack jones (@zackwynj) reported from Mirfield, England

    why’s my wifi still **** @virginmedia

  • John_murphy1
    John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia how do I order a new hub please? My current one loses network access and needs rebooting every hour or so. Not ideal when working from home. There are no known service issues so I’m thinking it’s a hub issue.

  • ReeceBryan94
    Reece Bryan (@ReeceBryan94) reported from Wombwell, England

    @virginmedia how do we get the new wifi extender pods or a new Virgin Hub? Our wifi signal and speed changes dramatically between the front and back of the house, the coverage is dreadful

  • cranworth791
    Sam Millington (@cranworth791) reported from Rawmarsh, England

    @virginmedia Yeah that’s fine, or just a phone number / person to deal with? It’s my parents business and they have their property engineers coming out to view the issue on Monday. I assume they will be in touch themselves regarding the issues. Luckily it’s just rain water, and not sewage.

    SloopJonF (@FinyetJon) reported

    So my guess is that @virginmedia doesn't have a back up to their main site provided by a different supplier. Hence why their status page is also down and they're not posting updates on twitter. #virginmedia

  • Alex_McGinlay
    Alex McGinlay (@Alex_McGinlay) reported

    Is @virginmedia still having broadband issues? I seem to be having a VERY skittish connection tonight. It's definitely nowhere near full speed. In the Glasgow area.

  • apex2504
    Rob - @apex@androiddev.social (@apex2504) reported

    @virginmedia Kindly let me know how I can cancel my VM service when neither your website nor your phone lines are working.

  • bemb0
    Brendan Walker (@bemb0) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve been with virgin media for over 5 years and this is the first issue I have had. The package I’m on is cheaper than the competition as well. Everyone on here acting like they have never been inconvenienced before. It happens. It’ll be fixed. Get over it.

  • mortis1978
    Gillian Atkins (@mortis1978) reported

    @virginmedia Have had on and off Internet/WiFi since yesterday and can't even report it as your app and website says its not working, in Greenock Scotland

  • LauraCo70598778
    Laura Cox (@LauraCo70598778) reported

    @virginmedia Terrible service all round! Our WiFi has been poor for months with poor connectivity! Constantly drops off but there’s nothing that Virgin can do! Time to rethink our provider?!

  • waheed04
    Waheed Mahmood (@waheed04) reported

    @virginmedia It's all about expansion of the business and customer service or any service a poor secondary consideration

    @virginmedia how do I cancel my contract to a more reliable and able to access help?

  • Dazdarcy
    Darrall Darcy 🇺🇦 (@Dazdarcy) reported

    @virginmedia You charged me for late payment most recently - which is fair enough, I'll be charging you for a lost days productivity. Flakey service still..

  • MarvellousMsB
    Amanda (@MarvellousMsB) reported

    @virginmedia If its not the Internet down days ago its now the TV, no calls going through but get a text link to the app which I have & can't get onto because even THAT'S down! I FULLY intend on cancelling my service, sick & tired of substandard services for the price
