  • wonky1961 Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia You are no longer my ISP due to your incompetence. Also there will be a lawsuit pending due to the fact I almost died from pneumonia with pulmonary oedema and sepsis later going into stage 2 respiratory failure. Your useless service is unacceptable.

  • wonky1961 Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    I have had wifi issues since june2020now they are trying to get paid twice im 1 month. Virgin still owe me compensation. Due to Virgin's failure to keepvulnerablepeoplesafe.://www.virginmedia.com/support/help/check-services/address-identification/identify

  • KatiePurkiss Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia They haven’t got through to anyone to cancel it yet?

  • KatiePurkiss Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I’ve sorted the issue. But now there’s no way of cancelling the engineer! Can’t get through on phone. Appointment isn’t showing on their account, so can’t cancel there. WhatsApp is useless - been waiting for an Agent to be available since about 1pm!

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I raised the complaint on 14/7 and I’ve heard nothing

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I’ve already raised a complaint. I spoke to someone in the Stage 2 complaints team who told me it’s being dealt with and, as already mentioned, a manager would call me back at 4.30 which didn’t happen. Can someone please sort this out?

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I’ve spent over 2 hours on the phone and I lost count of people I’ve spoken to when I got to 12. That’s just today and this has gone on for weeks. Pretty sure you would’ve lost me as a very longstanding customer by the time 28 days is up.

  • RERomain Rachel Romain (@RERomain) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia It has been almost 30 years since he was a new customer... 🙃

  • wonky1961 Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @MartinSLewis Virgin Media wifi been unstable since June 2020. Virgin Media never resolved the problem caused me to lose hundreds of £'s. Made me lose my PIP. Virgin made me pay double because they kept charging me twice most months. They've made me lose half my PC Guarantee

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia You’ve now sent me the same unhelpful link about compensation 3 times. This will only compensate me if I have no service, and as I have a service (albeit 3mbps) this, as I’ve repeated several times, doesn’t help me. Another example of poor customer service

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I’ve now been told that there is no complaints team, despite the fact I spoke to them earlier. How is it possible to be so poor?

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia so after weeks of unbelievably poor broadband and customer service there was an offer from you to resolve the situation with a web chat at 11am, with a link being provided here. No link. I’m lost for words

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia Actually that’s wrong, I received an email to advise that the complaint had been resolved and had to respond saying it hasn’t. What hope is there when you can’t even get a complaint right?

  • KatiePurkiss Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    Virgin Media broadband down AGAIN. Service Status website & app don’t work as no internet connection 🤨 @virginmedia

  • KatiePurkiss Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    Hey @virginmedia Parents new 360 box not working and engineer not available to come out til the 27th!!!! Not good enough! 😔

  • KatiePurkiss Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    After 20 years of being with @virginmedia and Telewest before that, I’ve finally decided to jump ship. Broadband has been horrendous for a couple of weeks and constant issues. 😔. #TimeforaChange

  • Matty411 Matt Frow (@Matty411) reported from Corringham, England

    @virginmedia I hope you can help me. When I try to watch TV on virgin tv go,but it come up something went wrong error comes up (even if I use another account). I hope you can help me.

  • RWheelhouse1 rachel Wheelhouse 🇺🇦 (@RWheelhouse1) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia 6 days since moving to Virgin, we are having issues, the WiFi won't reach our outside cameras. After completing the troubleshooting guides + waiting for over an hour for a chat agent + 30 mins on the phone, we still haven't spoken to a human....not impressed

  • katie_2521 Katie Williams (@katie_2521) reported from Wickford, England

    @virginmedia I had already look at this page previously. And when we have issues there is no indication on what it could be, I. E the *********** light is in as if its connected

  • katie_2521 Katie Williams (@katie_2521) reported from Wickford, England

    @virginmedia been struggling for days with home WiFi. Tried to contact you guys but cant find a number Please help

    Anyone else having problems with Virgin Media in D8?

  • ahi_11 Ahilan A (@ahi_11) reported

    Paying premium for 1GB fibre but once again intermittent and now no Internet for last 18 hours since their planned work a week ago. Est fix 30th Aug! What am I supposed to do for work @virginmedia! No backup or compensation for cust not acceptable. Switching once contract is up.

  • kharmon67 Kevin Harmon (@kharmon67) reported

    @virginmedia customer service is something else. Phoned me to try and cancel our engineer visit because they have done some checks and all is fine apparently. When I asked them what they have fixed to stop video calls cutting off or games lagging, he just hung up

  • MaikM00 Miguel (@MaikM00) reported

    @virginmedia What is the issue and why is it taking 4 days to fix? 2 days into the outage and no official communication or explanation

  • CllrShellyHQ Cllr Shelly Herterich Quinn (@CllrShellyHQ) reported

    @virginmedia I’m in the States right now. Cannot use my broadband though I’ve paid. No one working on Sunday on call centre it seems. Terrible service.

  • sasouthall6 sam (@sasouthall6) reported

    @virginmedia please sort your ******* awful internet out please 👍🏻

  • CocoPhilips Dancin' French Danson (@CocoPhilips) reported

    @virginmedia @HarlysCorner @VirginMediaIE I think questions need to be asked of VirginIE why they didn't respond to Harly or anyone else in 2 hours of an internet blackout.

  • Alex79uk Alex79, OK? (@Alex79uk) reported

    @PMurphy1978 Don't have any advice sorry, but I do have sympathy. Our Virgin Media hub is absolute garbage. Goes down at least 2-3 times a week, constantly have to restart it, and we lose internet on a regular basis.

  • ILHughes_ Ian (@ILHughes_) reported

    @virginmedia Been on and off all day. None of these jssues have been noted in the service checker - which isn't unusual. Sure it'll all be sorted out before the consecutive 48 hour outage that qualifies me for compensation is up. Really useless. End of my contract can't come soon enough

  • HelenCo53499263 Helen Cooke (@HelenCo53499263) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for being so incompetent with your customer service that my brother has now spent over 6 hours on the phone in the past day trying to sort out your lies. He currently is over 40 minutes into a phone call having been passed between 8 different agents…
