    @simonnread @virginmedia I'm looking at the new Sky Stream service that starts on 18th October combined with Three 5G broadband. Both offer rolling 1 month contracts

    @virginmedia can you help please we’ve just been passed around to 4 different people and they hung up on us.

    Jess Adams (@JessLeighA) reported from Ketteringham, England

    @virginmedia that’s the number we were on. 2 hours later we finally have our cool-down period cancelled.

  • NickFitz
    Nick Fitzsimons (@NickFitz) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @PreetBharara @ZellaQuixote Around 2009 or 2010. I had a computer with a modem that could send faxes that was just about working, and I had to get @virginmedia to send an engineer out to fix my landline. The landline broke again a month or two later and hasn’t worked since, though they still bill me for it.

    @virginmedia why does my wifi keep cutting out every 15 mins for about 2 mins then come back? Not great when I work from home and my meetings cut out midway through…

  • JessLeighA
    Jess Adams (@JessLeighA) reported from Ketteringham, England

    @Jake_BHughes @virginmedia apparently we have a blockage where they need to connect us, which is what we would need fixing by thursday. being that unreliable we decided to cancel everything with them fully. a shame because what they offered was great. customer service department is not easy to get round 😭

  • im_raj16
    Meghraj (@im_raj16) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia It’s the same plz help me or plz disconnect the service I give up.

  • HarjitDosanjh8
    High End Chauffeurs of leicester (@HarjitDosanjh8) reported from Thurnby, England

    @virginmedia 5 days no internet, promises of 24 hours it will be running, then told a little maintenance, yesterday at 9:30am we were told in 9 hours you will get a call guaranteed (didn’t happen). All day today no work has got done! Poor internet for years and now none!! WTH!!

  • JessLeighA
    Jess Adams (@JessLeighA) reported from Ketteringham, England

    @ndarby90 @virginmedia we got hung up on 3 times trying to cancel. then they tried to sell us more things. can’t even comprehend it

  • Katie68833952
    Katie (@Katie68833952) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia I'm not sure why, but our Internet and TV aren't currently working! No email to say work is being done. Online even says there's no issue which there clearly is. Area is LE2

  • juanfelipe1
    John Wright (@juanfelipe1) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @simonnread @virginmedia I'm having the same issue. For the period of lockdown I could broadly rely on the signal to my home office. The last 2/3 months I haven't and I am constantly having to tether my mobile at my expense. The router hasn't moved and neither has my office. The service has just worsened

  • HarjitDosanjh8
    High End Chauffeurs of leicester (@HarjitDosanjh8) reported from Thurnby, England

    @virginmedia currently on the phone and surprise surprise sir give us another 24 hours!! Are you mad! I’m pulling my hair out!!! I’ve never tweeted before but my guess is it’s the only way they’ll pull there finger out!!!

  • JessLeighA
    Jess Adams (@JessLeighA) reported from Ketteringham, England

    @virginmedia we are awaiting for you to put the line up to the house but there is a blockage. was told you were coming to fix it yesterday but didn’t. said you’re coming today, no idea when.

  • juanfelipe1
    John Wright (@juanfelipe1) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia Or you could invite your customers to get in touch when out of contract or you could even tell us what deals are on offer to help us stay. I suspect you don't because you realise that inertia effects are high when it comes to changing broadband packages.

  • HarjitDosanjh8
    High End Chauffeurs of leicester (@HarjitDosanjh8) reported from Thurnby, England

    @virginmedia So whilst on the phone you put us through to get a dongle as an emergency and you tried to charge us £39! Wow the cheek of it!

  • JessLeighA
    Jess Adams (@JessLeighA) reported from Ketteringham, England

    @Jake_BHughes @virginmedia we had similar issue. they came when we were on holiday, no communication. we rang, were told they were coming yesterday to connect us, they didn’t arrive. told they’re coming today, didn’t arrive. spent 2 hours on the phone cancelling and was hung up on 3 times.

  • JessLeighA
    Jess Adams (@JessLeighA) reported from Ketteringham, England

    @virginmedia can we actually talk to someone that can help rather than pass us on? it’s a joke at this point.

  • mscotty0592

    @virginmedia Ordered the boxing and it’s not working

  • JessLeighA
    Jess Adams (@JessLeighA) reported from Ketteringham, England

    jesus christ talking to virgin media on the phone is ridiculous we rang to cancel, got hung up on 3 times, after 2 hours finally cancelled and after cancelling they’re trying to get us to sign up for phone contracts and sim cards! like we would want that after we just cancelled

    Ally James 💙 (@AllyJ00) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for your msg, however this isn’t a once off, this is a regular occurrence. Unforts the customer service on website makes it impossible to speak to anyone to get fixed, hence why I am leaving end of the month.

  • rlonguk
    Richard Long (@rlonguk) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks. That says “no known issues” - I’ll wait and see if it happens again tomorrow.

  • Chrlsstchrls
    Charles St Charles (@Chrlsstchrls) reported

    Don’t understand how virgin media routers can be such poor quality. No signal through a single wall between livingroom and bedroom….

  • Beccaboo961

    @virginmedia can you sort your **** out? I've had no Internet or TV for 4 days this week!! What am I even paying money for?

  • LucySharppp

    @TomParker @virginmedia It’s awful in biggin hill too, the router is in my dads room and the signal is only 2 bars in my bedroom next door

  • marc1box
    marc (@marc1box) reported

    @leonagraham @virginmedia Are you sure it's the Internet and not the WiFi? I'm a @virginmedia customer but WiFi in the house is not provided by their hub as uts useless . Get a tri/quad-band netgear router or two

  • Lalalax
    Laxmi Kerai (@Lalalax) reported

    @virginmedia Hello, it's now been 4 months, I've chased the email alias 3 times and I still haven't had a response. This is the worst customer service experience I've ever had. It feels like no one wants to respond to my query or help me.
