  • mallen_87 Matt Allen 🔶 (@mallen_87) reported from Horwich, England

    @virginmedia I would like to cancel my services with you. When I go online to do this I’m directed to call in. When I call in the IVR directs me online. Can you help?

  • cpiyush Piyush Chechani (@cpiyush) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia Thought it was tough to connect to someone on phone (57 mins wait) and another 36 mins convincing your helpdesk colleague that there is a problem - they sent someone within 12 hours to check and that talented technician found and fixed the issue in 20 mins.. all sorted !! 👍🏻👍🏻

  • Matt1740 Scents & Trendz (@Matt1740) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia trying to work from home and it goes off, check online & network maintenance. Why cant you notify us to let us know doing maintenance. Communication company but cant tell customers what's going on 😡😡

  • LiamRLaverick Liam Laverick (@LiamRLaverick) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia No you’re alright,, literally the worst internet provider I’ve ever come across, will be leaving and moving to Sky tomorrow

  • NealJFletcher Neal Fletcher (@NealJFletcher) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia No, the picture still looks like I’m watching TV on a cheese grater. Looking at a few threads on your forum this isn’t a new issue either, customers have been experiencing this for well over a year. How’s about I stop paying for the TV part of the package until it’s sorted??

  • NealJFletcher Neal Fletcher (@NealJFletcher) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Nope, no outages. It’s been the same for days now. As I say, it seems a common issue with your customers and has been for well over a year

  • AngWaterhouse Angela Waterhouse (@AngWaterhouse) reported from Euxton, England

    @virginmedia I can’t get through by phone-landline or mobile. Are all your phone lines down? #virginmediadown

  • PammyVegas21 Pamela Lavell (@PammyVegas21) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia I was going to go to a better provider but was assured that the price was guaranteed until May 2021. You have broken the terms of the contract AGAIN. How many mature citizens who aren’t as computer savvy get ripped off by you? How is this being allowed to happen? Shame on you

  • JoeHolmes1994 Joe (@JoeHolmes1994) reported from Leigh, England

    @virginmedia I need to cancel a engineer appointment for Wednesday. I’ve already been on the phone 40 minutes and I’m not waiting any longer especially after being told ‘we’ll prioritise you’. Please cancel it otherwise it’s a pointless trip for your engineer

  • cbj622w livesformusic (@cbj622w) reported from Liverpool, England

    @KairenK @virginmedia @virginbroadband I've been lucky 10 months working from home yet to go down

  • emmawinstanley1 emma2511 (@emmawinstanley1) reported from Aspull, England

    @virginmedia finding it very difficult to get through to someone to discuss technical support please help

  • mcknut John McKerrell (@mcknut) reported from Liverpool, England

    @SayBeano @virginmedia Just cancel and switch. Been very happy with @VodafoneUK gigafast for a few months

  • Bolt100Wands boltonbwfc (@Bolt100Wands) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia an absolute disgrace all night the pixelating of every channel on our boxes plus all Bolton the same! Service Status saying nothing wrong! Sort it Virgin! We pay for a service!

  • cpiyush Piyush Chechani (@cpiyush) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia is there anything wrong with your services in Altrincham area? It’s been 36 hours of intermittent issues with broadband (fiber). Service status says everything is fine but laptops and phones are dropping off connections..

  • GaryLiverpool Gary (@GaryLiverpool) reported from Liverpool, England

    Do you have an issue in the Liverpool area. Service status saying no issues. But no internet@rebooted hub 3 times still no joy. Tried calling 151 and 150 and get an engaged tone @virginmedia

  • Bolt100Wands boltonbwfc (@Bolt100Wands) reported from Bolton, England

    Once again @virginmedia tried to ring you but your customer care is shocking. I know of over 100 people plus in the Bolton area with continuing pixelating on ur TV Service which means you cannot watch TV! This needs sorting ASAP! Shocking service and unacceptable with what I pay!

  • mattwood1702 Matt Attwood (@mattwood1702) reported from Liverpool, England

  • GeoffJonners Geoff Johnson (@GeoffJonners) reported from Bolton, England

    Any chance you can sort this picture issue out @virginmedia

  • pete_vella Pete Vella (@pete_vella) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia yet another broadband install cancelled at the last minute. Spent 10’s of hours trying to speak to somebody and today I was assured that the service would be connected. Despicable company. Blame COVID all you like, but you’re just completely useless. OFCOM claim!!

  • curranhung margaret hung (@curranhung) reported

    @padster1979 @virginmedia I agree with everyone who says you shouldn't bother with Virgin Media. Patchy service and appalling customer service.

  • lauraim493 Laura Isabel (@lauraim493) reported

    @virginmedia Why is so difficult to speak with someone on the phone? We were expecting our install today and after an hour on the phone found out that it was not going ahead due to an error. Please help

  • DangerousDac SciFiDave (@DangerousDac) reported

    @katerussell @virginmedia Done it, I get bang on 36mbps for my 350mbps bundle - Only get 220mbps down tho....

  • Shakerboard Marc boyd (@Shakerboard) reported

    Hi @virginmedia your customer service is right up there with the worst we have ever encountered. Calling about router dropping signal, all your Indian call center wants to do is check the speed. Shocking and really want to leave due to the service being provided @Jenniboyd2510

  • Shakerboard Marc boyd (@Shakerboard) reported

    @virginmedia Standard poor reply.

  • verdebhoy VerdeBhoy (@verdebhoy) reported

    @virginmedia 600mb broadband with full TV package. Currently £140 per month with another £5 rise in the post. Current Internet speed through my WiFi? Less than 1mb. If its not slow its dropping off at least twice a day. Cancelling this weekend then going elsewhere. Sick of it

  • muvdude mandyhenry (@muvdude) reported

    @virginmedia Why is it when I watch Netflix,prime or sky movies when it’s streaming a show or movie the screen and sound goes blank this can happen ten times a hour or sometimes less. It’s so annoying can you help at all maybe I need a new TiVo box.

  • AlfEyyyy Alf (@AlfEyyyy) reported

    overpriced **** equipment staff that go out of their way to deny you basic assistance (most unhelpful staff and policies I've ever had to endure) #FasterCloser to any other ISP other than virgin media

  • mo_umr1 Mohammed (@mo_umr1) reported

    @virginmedia So I called VM spent 55 mins waiting then 20 mins on the phone but no resolve. The women said call back and maybe we can get you the super hub 4 to help. Getting nowhere.

  • Gramsilver1 Graham Mac (@Gramsilver1) reported

    @virginmedia And then what? Call customer services again all afternoon?
