    @virginmedia no way of contacting you over cancelling my contract, lines are down. How do we speak to you?

  • becshawyer Becca (@becshawyer) reported from Wickford, England

    @virginmedia disgusting customer service ... after months of issues still not being resolved our latest phone call after raising a complaint the customer service representative hung up on me! Getting to the point now where we will be leaving 😡

  • MrsDyer25 Laura Dyer (@MrsDyer25) reported from Great Baddow, England

    @virginmedia I have checked and there are no faults. I am still having issues over a week later and this is totally unacceptable! Two children trying to take part of zoom lessons which they keep dipping in and out of as the connection just keeps dropping! Unable to get through to you on 150

  • samanthadoe1 Samantha Doe (@samanthadoe1) reported from Canvey Island, England

    Having real problems with our broadband dropping out regularly @virginmedia. Any known issues in the SS8 area?

  • owensirons93 Andrew Owen (@owensirons93) reported from Corringham, England

    @virginmedia any reason why you still haven’t fixed our phone lines? Been down for 3 months now so I’ll be expecting a reimbursement. Also expect a reimbursement due to the fact your failing to supply the minimum download speed

  • NicklessColin Colin Nickless (@NicklessColin) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia broadband down again in Southend. Had to pay for a BT WiFi day pass so my wife can continue working from home.

  • MrsDyer25 Laura Dyer (@MrsDyer25) reported from Great Baddow, England

    @virginmedia Yes and I am doing it again now. No network issue has been found

  • Paul07852224 Paul (@Paul07852224) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia Hi, done the reboot and pin reboot but still dropping out drastically. The speeds I was getting to the speeds I am getting is really bad

  • Dearnormajeane lindsay wood (@Dearnormajeane) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @kelseybytheway @virginmedia Second this so ******* hard. Diagnostics dont do **** when the issue is with the hardware itself

  • statusquo44 Peter Fudge 💙 (@statusquo44) reported from Canvey Island, England

    @leonagraham @virginmedia Yes, the issue is you’re being denied internet access 👍

  • joniread68 Jon Read (@joniread68) reported from Great Baddow, England

    Any @virginmedia customers out there who’ve been landed a price increase - just ring them on 03454541111 and the automated service immediately offers you a £4.50 pm discount for 6 months = £27 of savings. Bit of a weird way of doing business but obvs hope many just suck it up. 👍

  • katiewoo26 katie lee (@katiewoo26) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia After spending 1 hour on hold, I gave up. I just want to order a booster for my broadband! Please help!

  • awasti Ali Wasti (@awasti) reported

    @virginmedia Please help. trying to close my account as I’m moving country. on hold for 2 hrs with moving team before call disconnected. Called again 8am in morning - hold for 25 min, call disconnected. I am not sure why you have made it near impossible for customers to cancel.

  • NishaNayak Nisha (@NishaNayak) reported

    @virginmedia And how is is acceptable to have bad service continuously for weeks? Useless rubbish service!!

  • olliedoodleday Ollie H-M (@olliedoodleday) reported

    @virginmedia I’m now trying to cancel the technician visit, which seems impossible online…

  • rogerpsan Red Roger LFC #JFT97 Legacy fan and proud! (@rogerpsan) reported

    @virginmedia once again I receive a call, text and email to say your engineer is going to collect the old kit from the address VM disconnected me from because I was MOVING. AGAIN I have replied with my NEW ADDRESS. if I receive 1 call to say no one was in I WILL lost my ****

  • olliedoodleday Ollie H-M (@olliedoodleday) reported

    @virginmedia It is (touch wood) stable again. And I just got a text about the technician visit that let me cancel. So all sorted. Thanks

  • pipey59 Jonathan Pipe (@pipey59) reported

    @virginmedia brilliant! Absolutely brilliant ! Can't make a formal complaint because "my virgin media" is not working !!! And according to your customer service rep they can now only be made online ! Although when looking up complaints it says call vm to complain !!

  • NishaNayak Nisha (@NishaNayak) reported

    @virginmedia I have already made a complaint as I am so frustrated with this. Your customer service said compensation was due. This should be documented. Or recorded. And now I am informed that after all this rubbish I will not get anything. Useless!

  • Angelsirius1 Angel sirius (@Angelsirius1) reported from Worthing, England
