    @virginmedia Hi so yeah your router will not connect to my pc or laptop unless it physically connected (meaning I had to buy my own Ethernet over power kit) also my TV set top box has been spotty ever since we moved here. The complaint was to see if I can get some form of compensation for the

    @virginmedia The service is slow (even sitting next to router I get <50Mbps) and drops out frequently but irregular intervals & not linked to usage. Has been getting worse since we renewed in June.

    @EE There’s a distinct possibility that I’ll be switching services in the imminent future. The help from @virginmedia has been laughable. However, having spent £10 to top up the EE SIM card and then finding out I can’t contact your customer support because it costs 25p extra is rich.

    @virginmedia Wouldn’t bother it will probably cut out half way through.

    Gareth 🇪🇺 (@fogey) reported from York, England

    20 minutes and counting on hold because I have to be “transferred to the department that can close accounts.” And @virginmedia are “disappointed” that their appalling customer service is one of the reasons I am closing my account.

    @vmbusiness hi, in my student house we’ve been without wifi for 3 days now. i’ve used the website to check the service but it says it is working fine. we’ve now been relying on data for 3 days (which is also v expensive). please help!

  • GrahamRelton
    Graham Relton (@GrahamRelton) reported from York, England

    Nice one @virginmedia you’ve lost a loyal customer as you’ve increased my bill by over £22 with no warning. Service continues to be mediocre at best and goes up every year (without fail) with no improvements. @TalkTalk @TalkTalkGroup York’s Ultra Fibre Optic here we come!

  • Gaarmstrong318
    Geoffrey Armstrong (@Gaarmstrong318) reported from York, England

    @virginmedia lovely had a power outage for barely 5 seconds in the Yo26 Acomb Area and lost all services and what makes it worse is I appear to know more than your tech support guys about how my services work.

  • Gaarmstrong318
    Geoffrey Armstrong (@Gaarmstrong318) reported from York, England

    @virginmedia I saw the disclaimer. What is really shocking is I’m having to have this out publically with you. Your offshore call centre is not fit to diagnose issues. Every times I’ve called with a major fault I’ve been told there is an area fault and to wait for it to be fixed.

    @virginmedia 1 of 2. I’ve spent 52 minutes on the phone, spoke to 3 different people which means security 3 times. Managed to log a complaint as my service has been down since the 16th. My contact runs out in Feb so I asked about lowering from the 200mb as I won’t be home much in the new year

    @virginmedia I have no tv or internet I’m in york. Funny how I can’t get hold of technical support but yet you lot can ring me trying to get me to “upgrade” my tv package.

    @virginmedia 50 minutes on the phone. 6 operatives. Nobody can tell me when the fibre will be fixed. First today. Then Monday. Then the 17th. Then the 22nd. Then the 17th again. Like I said - a shambles. Service cancelled. @Ofcom @bt_uk @SkyMediaUK #hitmeup

    @virginmedia On the forum one person states: I've rang 150 and have been told that Virgin Media block access to this site which I can't believe given its just a bicycle retailer but I couldn't get any further with that on the phone.  There is are more issues mentioned Kind regards Chris

    Adam Thompson (@adam7485) reported from York, England

    @virginmedia just tried to call about a problem with my fibre and your automated system told me to make sure it’s plugged in then hung up!! Five minutes wasted and have to go through it all over again. Poor.

    Has anyone else on Virgin Media struggled to get online for the past 40mins? Oh, and O2 having no mobile data signal as well? 😡 Great start to a Monday morning.

    @virginmedia Yeah, it said same to me as well, but the problem not in my house. I said : nobody has internet connection who use virgin media in the street! I asked them!

    Day EIGHT of my complete broadband outage with @virginmedia 😡 However there IS hope. Today an engineer from them is supposed to be arriving-so trying to be positive What a complete nightmare of an experience this has been, so I'm REALLY hoping this will be the turning point🤞

  • edengem
    Eden Gem (@edengem) reported

    @virginmedia A pop up message stating virgin has blacklisted my a/c. Gadget rescue has sent a list of complicated instructions saying I’ve sent too many suspicious emails! Not true: I use this for work. Is it O2 causing the issue?

    @O2 is **** for customer service since the Virgin Media merger constantly logged out an log back in won’t let me pay on the app can never get through when I’m at work sort this **** out man I’ve been with you forever same number everything

    @virginmedia I fear this is terrible customer service. I’m switching providers as soon as possible and will be advising by network to do the same.

    @entrustTMF @virginmedia BT are woeful too. Over 20 years of misery at 2 different premises. Starlink now - exceptional in every way except for one 3hr occasion with a world wide outage. AMZN also getting into satellite broadband soon. US extreme tech beating UK cables buried in the ground !

    @virginmedia I’m still locked out of my virginmedia account after waiting 15 working days for resolution of this problem

    @virginmedia genuinely shocked and appalled by virgin leaving my 80 year old father in law without broadband for a week. No o2 signal so was uncontactable by family fo such a vulnerable adult. We live a couple of miles from him and we had intermittent broadband too. I went online

    @JONEZZEEonMMA @GameRiot Having been with virgin media previously, Id have killed to have my internet only be down for four hours. I remember one summer we only HAD internet for 4 hours. Shocking service.

    Brendan (@sabrevan) reported

    @virginmedia There was an outage in my area - for 3 days. It’s not my hub. It’s the ridiculously bad, unreliable service @virginmedia provide. Our whole street is complaining. Guess what … the service is down again today 😡

    @virginmedia since 1pm yesterday afternoon we have been told that the problem is being fixed. Every time the estimated time comes up you change it again. We have little to no information about what’s happening. Could you please advise on when. It will be corrected ?
