  • FolkardSimon Simon Folkard (@FolkardSimon) reported from Colchester, England

    @krista_leia I don't know what to believe anymore, he told me on Sunday that Virgin Media were comping to fix it but it's now so bad i cannot even connect it. I can get wi-fi installed here just for me, but you usually need a phone line and the cost is going to be fairly high.

  • philipcook1974 Philip Andrew Cook (@philipcook1974) reported from Layer-de-la-Haye, England

    @virginmedia I have had enough of your poor service 😡 talking to people who lie, can’t answer my questions so then hang up!! I have 3 mobile contacts with you my 2 daughters & my own, it’s a shocking service. All I want is the deal I signed up to 😤

  • Greenking66 Chris Green (@Greenking66) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia Hi would it be possible for someone from your customer care based in the uk to phone me please.

  • saharasplash lauren schaefer (@saharasplash) reported from Purdis Farm, England

    Last time I try and get your attention, please can you help with the above @virginmedia as you've taken our money but not replying

  • philipcook1974 Philip Andrew Cook (@philipcook1974) reported from Layer-de-la-Haye, England

    @virginmedia The worst bit you get one letter on 6th Nov saying your case is being investigated & apologising for taking 8 weeks to sort, two days later the case is closed as I didn’t reply to a letter 4 weeks earlier I never received!!!!

  • starbuck2003 Julian Joyce (@starbuck2003) reported from Elmstead Market, England

    @virginmedia Hi i moved house on the 13th Dec and i contacted virginmedia that i would like to close my account. I have yet to have a final bill from yourselves and i had to cancel the direct debit as this would have gone out tomorrow for the full amount!

  • lukeredpath Luke Redpath (@lukeredpath) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia @ruskin147 It’s also affecting your 4G mobile data service so every time your broadband goes down so does the 4G and we lose all of our internet access.

  • FolkardSimon Simon Folkard (@FolkardSimon) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia Sorry i will not be able to as it is the landlord who is the customer. Thanks though i appreciate it.

  • leezaloops Leeza Morley (@leezaloops) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia Absolutely disgusting service from Virgin. Rang to get refund for sky sports since lockdown and no help whatsoever. And I can’t make a complaint apparently as it will be automatically closed!!

  • leezaloops Leeza Morley (@leezaloops) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia No I didn’t and I don’t remember receiving one. I have checked all my emails from you and nothing. I rang a couple of days ago to ask for a discount and was basically told to get lost. I spend £100 a month with you guys and was shocked at the service. Account name Lisa Morley.

  • FolkardSimon Simon Folkard (@FolkardSimon) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia I have something called a TP Adapter? in my room. When it is able to come through that the signal is brilliant, but for some reason it is not coming through right now.

  • lizdeoli liz de oliveira (@lizdeoli) reported from Sudbury, England

    @virginmedia Amazing how you won’t sort out the problem with the account holder but you’ll speak to someone else about the account without the account holder’s permission!

  • Da_Hayts Mark Hayton (@Da_Hayts) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia suggest you get more technical support staff!! Second attempt to get support after being disconnect after an hours waiting in a queue😡

  • lukeredpath Luke Redpath (@lukeredpath) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia That was a wired connection. It downloaded in the end (all 92GB), I will keep a lookout for issues.

  • philipcook1974 Philip Andrew Cook (@philipcook1974) reported from Layer-de-la-Haye, England

    @virginmedia Had enough - paying for a service - not getting what I pay for & just getting know where fast!!!!

  • lizdeoli liz de oliveira (@lizdeoli) reported from Sudbury, England

    @virginmedia I have rung twice waited over 2 hours and still can’t sort out a request to cancel an account for someone who has learning difficulties and is escaping domestic violence. Disgraceful

  • Greenking66 Chris Green (@Greenking66) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia I done the scan and the signal upstairs is weak and very very slow😕

  • lukeredpath Luke Redpath (@lukeredpath) reported from Colchester, England

    @jasonkneen @virginmedia That page never seems to work for me.

  • philipcook1974 Philip Andrew Cook (@philipcook1974) reported from Layer-de-la-Haye, England

    @virginmedia Please can you assist before I take this further @richardbranson as your customer care is certainly way off the mark. Kind regards Phil Cook

  • ColletteLynn_ ¢σℓℓєттє ℓуηη мσσяє♥ (@ColletteLynn_) reported from Great Horkesley, England

    @Howard_Norton @Virgin I haven’t even managed to get through to @virginmedia yet despite multiple attempts and long holds to even comment on their actual customer service. The fact they are trying to charge me for something I have cancelled and haven’t used is beyond the joke already! #poorservice

  • parkedanywhere Parked Up Anywhere ⎊ (@parkedanywhere) reported

    @virginmedia honestly your website is the worst…how do you not have a page dedicated to offers for existing customers??

  • EsaSafwan safwan_esa (@EsaSafwan) reported

    Please can you dm me so you can get someone out to fix. Tried calling various times no luck. Getting a little annoyed @virginmedia

  • aljsimons Al Simons (@aljsimons) reported

    @virginmedia BT Sport Ultimate signal keeps breaking up on both my V6 boxes. Was working fine a few weeks ago and Virgin Ultra HD is still working fine so it's not my setup. Is this a known issue? Is a fix in the works?

  • JulieSm80608465 Julie Smyth (@JulieSm80608465) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, just missing the WiFi pods, was told to contact you again in 48 to 72 hours if the problem wasn't resolved, yes the speed is there but my son's room is still a black spot, that's why I want the pods, that isn't going to change in the next 2-3 days. Thank you

  • k3nnard Adam (@k3nnard) reported

    @virginmedia I've just done this and rebooted and it us still not working.

  • TemperleyDesign TemperleyDesign (@TemperleyDesign) reported

    @martinpaul1970 @virginmedia which defeats the point of asking to downgrade due to monthly budgets...my gig 1 with 2 pods still struggles with wifi upstairs and tech support say to plug a laptop direct and test speeds...not sure how that will help an xbox on wifi upstairs...worst internet company!

  • GemmaFisher87 Gemma Fisher (@GemmaFisher87) reported

    @virginmedia I have spoken to your team, and rather unhelpfully told I can’t cancel, forwarded to an escalation team but this is all not good enough, I was told latest date 22nd august even confirmed appointment yesterday for you to cancel yet again.

  • WeeeRob Robert Walter🇪🇺 (@WeeeRob) reported

    @virginmedia The service is great, no issue with Broadband or TV etc. Even the other day the phone customer service was great, just get new QAs for the website. It's really, really poor.

  • GemmaFisher87 Gemma Fisher (@GemmaFisher87) reported

    Update, can’t cancel with them as would include a cancellation fee for services I haven’t even got, no nearer date @virginmedia would have avoided if I knew all of this #virginmediadown #virginmedia #virginmediascam

  • ylilxanoi 🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported

    @virginmedia Been there, done that. Can somebody please tell us what the issue is in WN1 area because keeping changing the estimated times is passing me off. Tell me the problem and how long it will take so I can decide whether to wait or go to BT, it's beyond a joke now
