    @virginmedia It is not working, on live chat you wanted to charge me £40 more a month to activate it , joke.

    Sarah-Jane Finch (@formula1girl) reported from Eastleigh, England

    @virginmedia So I won’t have 4+ months of grief, demands for an account that is cancelled and debt collectors letters for that account then? That’s a relief as your behaviour with my account has worn me down whilst grieving for my Dad but it’s not stopped you….

    chris (@crumblechris) reported from Winchester, England

    @virginmedia Can you update the website to stop giving out false information? If you know there are ‘some issues’ can you tell me what they are - that alone is a helpful update….

    Is anyone else in Andover having issues with their @virginmedia? Wi-Fi’s been cutting out repeatedly all day

    chris (@crumblechris) reported from Winchester, England

    @virginmedia Thanks - but that phone line isn’t recognising when I enter digits on the key pad - so is useless.your website still says ‘no issues’ after more than 4 hours of no internet connection.

  • sarahmvaughan
    Cllr Sarah M Vaughan (@sarahmvaughan) reported from Southampton, England

    2/2 @virginmedia @VirginMediaCorp @VMSolutions_ We have waited patiently for 48 hours for Virgin to fix. If you do not resolve today, we will get an electrician to repair and send Virgin the invoice. There is no customer service or H&S for your customers.

  • SimDendy
    Sim Dendy (@SimDendy) reported from Romsey, England

    Apologies if you can’t get hold of me - @virginmedia have ‘blacklisted’ my phone even though I am not a Virgin customer. After many hours/phone calls they are still unable to explain why & have said I need to write a letter (!) to escalate further 🤯 - any better ideas out there?

    @virginmedia No service is SO17 postcode, either TV or internet. Is there an issue?

  • reyewon

    Was incredibly annoyed at service from @virginmedia today. After sending back the old equipment 6 weeks ago, we received an email saying we were going to be charged for not sending it back. I called up 10 days ago and was told the charge would be removed and not to worry...

    @davenevin @virginmedia Luckily their customer service is excellent 🥴

  • formula1girl
    Sarah-Jane Finch (@formula1girl) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia I cancelled in July (which apparently you have no record of) so I contacted you in Sept when you threatened to cut my service off, that I wasn’t using anymore, and told you I’d cancelled. I’m not paying this!! Absolutely ridiculous!!

  • sarah_mcginty
    Sarah McGinty (@sarah_mcginty) reported from Andover, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia issues again with tv & Internet, seems to be a theme for this week as not first time .There is nothing on service status :-( any idea?!

    @GeorgeMonbiot @timolarch @VodafoneUK My husband had the same problem with Virgin Media after the death of his father. He was given the number of the ‘bereavement department’ and he phoned, assuming they would help. Instead the woman demanded his father’s PIN and said only he could cancel!

  • Macsaint99
    Mark Cook (@Macsaint99) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia @TimTastic38 Ok, so if we paid part of the bill as we had a loss of service for part of the day that would be fine too?????

    @NewWorldLoading @ODEONCinemas I pulled off the ultimate scam by using the O2 priority app which I now have access to as a customer of @virginmedia following their recent merger 😈 Free ticket at odeon every Monday

    @virginmedia Yes .. I have been trying to contact you by phone however to no avail, regarding your services as I am thinking of leaving. The service I was provided over whatsapp was rather lackluster where the understanding of my enquiry was just not hitting home. I

    @virginmedia @Virgin Simple stop buffering and slow connection,impossible to watch streaming programs provided by your service which were paying you for just getting really fed up with your crap service.

    @virginmedia Today :) The fact that i can't cancel or have network fitted and I have to pay! :) @LutzSchueler

    Jshm (@jshmtn) reported

    @virginmedia you need to collect my box. Can’t come for 3 weeks then when I choose a date you just say ‘make sure you’re in’ without giving me a time slot? What rubbish service. Should I get someone to sit in my house for 12 hours?

  • Heather53268244

    @virginmedia And I get through to an agent who wants a security code that I don't have as have never needed to ring.

    @virginmedia Huawei P20 Smart but I'm not sure what that has to do with it. I've had the handset over a year and I have had no issue until Virgin left EE. Please advise.

  • JSP_the1st
    JSP_the1st (@JSP_the1st) reported

    @virginmedia The message I received stated that the delays are due to the impacts on staffing due to covid.. which if I'm honest I find that poor excuse since we've been in this situation for around 2 years and practically all organisations have worked through updated working patterns

  • pwingers
    Paul Wingfield BSc CEng MIET (@pwingers) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia I tried again today. After faffing with phone, then faulty website, and back to phone, I eventually found a very helpful assistant who managed to convince me to stay; happily. It was close though, as much room for improvement. Please sort out your customer services & website.

    Anton (@AntonJoseph93) reported

    @virginmedia Yeah tried that number to be honest, in a whole week I’ve had no internet for a period of time for 4 out of 7 days, it’s start to look like a serious problem with your network in my area. If so then I need to be told as I might have to look to switch providers

    Mike (@itsmiketucker) reported

    @virginmedia It says TV issues, but nothing to do with broadband, but that definitely isn't working. Light is flashing green.
