    @virginmedia And as you can see from my screenshot I’m not zoomed in at all , that pic is the exact same size as your service shows me

  • wysiwyg100
    Mr. Whizz (@wysiwyg100) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia as usual I’m afraid your comedic bad wifi has translated into a comedy of errors for me to cancel my contract.. pls can someone get in touch

  • ameehan71
    Alex (@ameehan71) reported from Bromley, England

    @_Lewis_A @virginmedia I had this problem and was advised to buy new cables, did that and it gets minimum 200mb now, also make sure all cables are really tight and fitted properly.

  • ameehan71
    Alex (@ameehan71) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia I have not as its seem thatbif you want to reduce your service I get put on hold and then cut off.

    @virginmedia It has just come back on. The annoying thing is your website said no problems, so I went through the usual, unplugging, checking cables etc. only for the website to be updated later. I should have learned by now.

  • jjrob1312
    Jenny (@jjrob1312) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia so disgusted with the service I’ve received . Trying to sort out a trade up since November 11th, I’ve spent over 2.5 hours on the phone with no one able to help and you are ignoring my written complaint. Awful.

  • Jatkins__
    Josh (@Jatkins__) reported from Camberwell, England

    I never fully realised how poor @virginmedia’s internet coverage was in south london until moving here and I’m now into my second two-day outage in the past month 🙃

    @virginmedia is there an issue with broadband. Been down all morning

  • DelDelovely
    Deli (@DelDelovely) reported from Eltham, England

    So @virginmedia who do I invoice for the lost revenue for my husband and I as you can’t send an engineer out for 6 DAYS to fix our broadband/TV fault??! Please tell me who I’m to send the invoice to, and also how to get compensation for 6 days of lost service 😡

  • gendal
    Richard Gendal Brown (@gendal) reported from City of London, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your help but this is a problem only Three can sort! Their new system works where it’s deployed. The problem is that they haven’t deployed it everywhere - eg Elizabeth Line.

  • catt_hurman
    Catt Hurman (@catt_hurman) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia have been passed to 4 different people across 4 hours and still waiting on a simple answer to my question. Why is it so hard to get some help?

  • Katie3boys
    Katie Haisman (@Katie3boys) reported from Eltham, England

    @virginmedia shocking service with the internet

  • JaneCommon
    Jane Common (@JaneCommon) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia hi, internet down in se5. A bit of a disaster for me as I have so much work on. Could you ask someone to check it?

  • edshots
    the world's most copied Edward Moore (@edshots) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia The next slot was 28th April which I would not be in and so have taken 5th May. A loyal customer of about 12 years this a complete let down after arranging today from a previous cancellation on your company's part.

  • strutcakes
    Chris 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺 (@strutcakes) reported from Lambeth, England

    Called Virgin Media to complain about the TV box not working and to get it removed from my package. Somehow ended up singing another 18 month contract with the TV box included but at a reduced price. Not ideal but not horrendous.

  • PJacksonClark
    #TeamParkinsons Paul (@PJacksonClark) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia I've covered all the options; there aren't many. It tells me there are no problems in my area and then defaults to the bot chat.

  • illymus
    Illy Mus 💙 (@illymus) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia so you hike our prices up and then the Internet has been awful today. Left home at 6am, just got home and still the same issue. Our landline relies on Internet and so does my 83 year old mother who uses it. Remind me what I am paying for???

  • Sherm4nLC
    Germán López-Campos (@Sherm4nLC) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia It seems there are some issues in SE22, could you confirm?

  • Nigelellway
    Nigel Ellway (@Nigelellway) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia I have no broadband or phone, your online checker doesn't work and neither does your helpline. What's going on?

  • kaybaka
    Kay Bak (@kaybaka) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia Any update on this issue as anything in the virginmedia store when you try and load it up it freezes. There is a TV issue in service status it says it should have been resolved yesterday. My area reference is 031. Thanks

  • vickiferris
    Vicky Leigh (@vickiferris) reported

    @virginmedia you told me there was an issue with my 360 tv box and said would send me a replacement. You sent me a stream box that doesn't record tv and not what I pay for or want.... and no one answers the phone

  • Sidwinder75
    Simon Dwinder (@Sidwinder75) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Seriously, just cancel that crap.

  • _SinfulScorpio_
    SinfulScorpio (@_SinfulScorpio_) reported

    @BlancoGoGo @virginmedia Well that sucks. These things should be fine

  • Malcolm_Sillick
    Malcolm Sillick (@Malcolm_Sillick) reported

    @Benleo I've been with @virginmedia for many years. Whole reason, is that in my road/area, their broadband in miles quicker than the 'Openreach' slow version. To be fair, it works well most of the time - but when it doesn't and you have to ring the Indian Tech Support; Oh dear it's grim!

  • ArsenalInjuries
    Arsenal Mark (@ArsenalInjuries) reported

    @Benleo Sadly that experience is not exclusive to @virginmedia @skytv are exactly the same, their customer service is also non existent, they care little for the customer and have no regard for customer loyalty or satisfaction. #skytv

  • LouiseMensch
    Louise Bagshawe (@LouiseMensch) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia In America they would have been hit with a bunch of class action lawsuits already but the best you can do is probably make a complaint to a regulator.

  • AnthonyJames03
    Anthony James (@AnthonyJames03) reported

    @IanLythgoe4 @virginmedia Dude switch to Sky. I heard so much bad about them, but has been amazing ! Customer service is so much better than virgins was and I was with them 7years

  • UAVHive
    UAVHive (@UAVHive) reported

    @Benleo I have worked in telecoms customer service so can vouch for Virgin Media being (in my view) the worst in the industry. They billed me twice for a single month & made me pay for equipment I'd already returned. I was overjoyed to cancel.

  • revoraman
    Ric M. (@revoraman) reported

    @Benleo Well said, Ben. Yes, the WORST! You are in the public eye. Private Cstmrs like me who get billed for DD payments by @virginmedia , despite writing to Cust Svcs Exec in March, April, still cannot access emails, as their Support is totally inept+incompetent!
