Miles (@milesc2003) reported@virginmedia Hi again Virgin, why does it look like my engineer appt has been cancelled? And good to know that there is a wider issue in the area.
-
Gaz (@R111_Gaz) reported@palmertrees @Amy_90_x Well, yes, just like people pay for Sky et al. Point is, its normally an extra fee channel, but not this afternoon, any Virgin Media customer can have it.
-
Joy Harris (@bengalisgirl) reported@virginmedia Disgusting service down again tonight message on TV screen saying Network Out Of Range !
-
Spike Lawson (@SpikeLawson1) reported@virginmedia What is it with the total indifference shown by virgin media? Service is down and we get three different timescales to fix it! They have obviously forgotten that we customers pay for their company
-
Rebecca Réva (@AvaniEbony666) reported@virginmedia What about WIFI or does your boss really don't care?? 3 Weeks without proper service complaints many times and nothings been sorted!! If it isn't then I WILL BE LEAVING Without PAYING THE REMAINDER OF CONTRACT (or if I do it'll be £1 with 3rd part debt collection) I ain't happy
-
Omur Yeginsu (@futureminds) reported@TezzaBelle88 @virginmedia Hi, I have frequent problems with @virginmedia I am hoping to do same . They are very difficult and outdated with their services .
-
Clare Mackenzie (@SillymumClare) reported@markrmifsud @virginmedia Please provide details of the actual issue @virginmedia as it is clearly serious. Estimated fix in my area is now June 1st. That would be 5 days without broadband. Please don't reply from a script. Honesty and accountability are required for disruption on this level. Thank you.
-
Ollie McManus (@OliverGMcManus) reportedTook five hours and eight minutes to get @virginmedia to uphold a basic consumer right. Contract successfully cancelled (eventually) but have to raise a separate complaint to get a refund for the seven weeks without internet. An ice cold drink is calling.
-
markrmifsud (@markrmifsud) reported@virginmedia Its now showing that it should be fixed at 13:05 today. Fast approaching 2 days of no service
-
Shelton (@CBTwizard) reported@OliverGMcManus @virginmedia I was in a pretty similar boat, now they're chasing me for £500 early termination I was fed up with the poor reliability, then lost full connection, lost income (WFH), them pushing the fix dates over a month no service. Left to BRSK, never had an issue, far cheaper, far better.
-
Manoj Parmar (@MannyParmar) reported@virginmedia you’ve made no provisions for your vulnerable customers in the LE5 5AA area after a lightning strike took out comms for everyone? Your estimated time to fix has gone from 24 hours to 4th June which is over a week away! How are life line pendants going to work?
-
Helen Rimmer @thekindbraveleader.bsky.social (@melon_h) reportedSo @virginmedia is down again, been down since yesterday morning. We know it will last until just before the point they have to pay compensation, they will offer no apology and they give no updates. Looking at switching ASAP
-
RPD Pacer (@rpd_pacer) reported@Cloverbeech @virginmedia Just checked. Their top range broadband is as much as my VM bundle. The service we get is really good, it's the absolutely shocking customer service that comes with it 🙄🙄🙄
-
Frazzz (@FrazzzYT) reportedLike you cannot make this BS up am sick of how bad @virginmedia are. Clearly your automatic systems are busted. And you're making staff do double work to fix ITS problems
-
d_f1888 (@df1888) reported@LutzSchueler @virginmedia We’ve been waiting since January for VM fibre to be installed and the customer service has been shocking. I’ve raised 3 complaints emailed your office and still have not had the service installed. Next stop the communications ombudsman !!
-
megb (@Gbarch1) reported@virginmedia Our service has been down since 10pm Thursday 28th. Latest updates keep pushing reconnection forward to latest info: 1st June 12pm. What on earth are you doing? Clearly not working on Friday-Sunday. Replies have dried up and your Whatsapp is disabled. We pay £123 pm
-
megb (@Gbarch1) reported@Ofcom @virginmedia virgin media has been totally down since 28th May at 10pm. Many people in my area are affected. The potential fix date has been moved forward several times. The latest is 1st June at 12. They haven't given any explanation and their Whatsapp is suspended. Help!
-
Mark vix (@Vikk3rs146) reported@virginmedia And you’ve got the nerve to want £200 for early termination yet I’ve never got a penny from you for losing service consistently..literally been with you since you were called Eurobell .
-
Sam Tilston (@samtilston) reportedThis isn't just a bad press cycle for Virgin Media O2. We are tracking a specific pattern of synthetic 'outage' reports designed to trigger algorithmic short-selling and erode public trust in UK telecoms infrastructure during a sensitive regulatory window.
-
Robert Cashin (@robert_cashin) reported@virginmedia Service desk closed for the evening, so logging this here. Broadband and television down in B24 8RB. TV shows a code CS2004. WiFi hub flashing red and TV box flashing a symbol with two arrows. Have rebooted WiFi, but this has made no difference.
-
Bingerz (@Bingerz123) reported@OliverGMcManus @virginmedia Go on the open reach network my man. Essentially all providers use it except virgin meaning the competition is high for retaining customers. Usually aim for a 24 hour service visit from an open reach engineer. Virgin are the worst BB provider, period.
-
Gary Broadbent (@garyb007) reported@TezzaBelle88 @virginmedia Yep, pretty standard. By miles, the worst customer service I've ever experienced. What's more, nobody seems to want to improve it.
-
LiamLOFC99 (@lofc99) reported@RobDew8 @virginmedia I have the exact same issue! Horley area. @virginmedia
-
Ana Atkinson (@Ana1Atkinson) reported@virginmedia @virginmedia my tv, broadband & phone is down again. Just missed the final of BGT which I spent months watching only to miss the final results. I can’t lodge the problem online as it won’t allow me. Judging by all the comments online, seems Virgin have serious problems
-
Lyndon (@lyndondp) reported@britfoodfinder @Benleo @virginmedia 29 days on and still account is locked. Had a reply to my oncoming complaint a week ago saying it would be unlocked in 3-5 working days from 18th May. Another 4 weeks and an official complaint to OFCOM will be going in if still unresolved
-
Lawrence Landray (@Glawsloz) reportedI cannot wait to find a way out of my @virginmedia fibre contract. What a shambles of a company. I book an appointment because my Hub4 isn’t working and they cancel it but don’t tell me. When I call to find out what’s happening I’m the told to “buy a dongle” so we have internet
-
Lucia (@LadyLucia05) reported@AskVirginMoney It was something specific but I've had to sort it myself thanks to @virginmedia poor service
-
Mark vix (@Vikk3rs146) reported@virginmedia Leaving because of your ineptitude.. I should take legal action against you for the lack of service you’ve provided causing me and my wife a multitude of hassle cos we work from home .. jokers
-
Ana Atkinson (@Ana1Atkinson) reported@virginmedia These problems have been on & off since Thursday. Will we get compensated & will Virgin issue a statement to their customers to let us know what is going on? It seems like you have serious problems & just keep saying it will be fixed in 24 hrs. I have no landline, tv or internet
-
Mark Sutherland * (@markenello) reported@BrianNicholso16 @virginmedia Their customer service is appalling, I've told them i am leaving and the date, which is my contract end date so they have sent me a bill for beyond that on out of contract fees
