  • 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.

    @virginmedia It's both. I have been doing some digging and it's the upload speeds. They are not getting anywhere over 2MB /sec which is not good enough. It has been very slow over the last couple of days

  • Rob_Mcgimpsey

    @virginmedia Yes. A third party has just arrived to pull cables and they can’t do their work because Virgin haven’t actioned the construction. 9 weeks down the line and it hasn’t even been actioned from your end. So poor.

    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?

    I'm gonna summarise 2 things I've developed a verdict on since my tv broke down. the @virginmedia app for windows = perfect. works great. the @SkySports app for windows = ******* horrendus! i dont understand why sky sports needs a separate app to watch them

    I have a go at customer service a lot, but with the move @virginmedia were great, @thameswater exemplary, @SouthernWater a great guy on customer helpline and Test Valley Council efficient and personable. It can be done, you know.

    @virginmedia i'm getting 5 to 10 calls a day telling me my Internet Is bad spam ..VM want £25.00 pound to change my number or £2.70 pm to block a number there as bad as the spammers ..VM ripping people OFF its there phone line

  • GingeFTW

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

  • PandaKingPinder
    Panda 🐼 (@PandaKingPinder) reported from Romsey, England

    @virginmedia The issue is some of the ports in the back don't work, we get occasional dips in the internet's which some days don't reach the amount we pay for and the webpage says we can upgrade our hub but can only be done on the phone to see we can't get hold of anyone.

    @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!

  • edinnature
    Stephen groom (@edinnature) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia connection down again. No internet. Connecting to router etc, rebooted, reset, reinstalled drivers, reset ipconfig. But service status still saying everythings fine...clearly not 😔

  • rahim94
    Rahim™ 🇬🇧🇲🇦 (@rahim94) reported from Southampton, England

    @evans81uk @virginmedia Get on the phone. Or live chat. Bring that price back down. Normally everyone Virgin bring in a price increase im very quick to bring it back down

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

    @virginmedia We've got Internet so not as bad as it could be as i do have a teenager in the house,however I would like the tv to be back up by 9pm pretty please so i can watch @imacelebrity @antanddec thanks!!

  • BrainTumourSurg
    Paul Grundy (@BrainTumourSurg) reported from Winchester, England

    Thanks to @virginmedia they install new broadband which worked for about 5 minutes. Now nothing. Follow all instructions to fix. Waited 5 hours this morning for the privilege and now 1 hour on phone still on hold Should have paid attention to the terrible reviews #wastedmyday 🤬

  • 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?!

  • Rob_Mcgimpsey
    Rob Mcgimpsey (@Rob_Mcgimpsey) reported from Romsey, England

    @virginmedia This has already been dealt with yea, we’re continuing just because it feels as if we’ve waited too long to cancel now. Plus, Virgin are crediting me £5.35 for every day of delay that they’ve caused (55 days and counting).

  • crumblechris
    chris (@crumblechris) reported from Winchester, England

    @virginmedia Hi - so the fault that is still ongoing, 24 hours+ now, and the fault line said would fixed by 11pm last night. Now the fault line says it’s being worked on - and no update for residents….please advise what is going on and an ETA for the fix? Thanks

  • Rob_Mcgimpsey
    Rob Mcgimpsey (@Rob_Mcgimpsey) reported from Ampfield, England

    @virginmedia Further to this, my install date has now been pushed back to 13/12. A quarter of a year later than quoted. This is unacceptable and the joke is, it won’t even happen then! It’ll get pushed back again. My partner is pregnant and Virgin are seriously letting us down. Shameful

  • Rob_Mcgimpsey
    Rob Mcgimpsey (@Rob_Mcgimpsey) reported from Romsey, England

    @virginmedia The same live date of the 21st still stands. Virgin have repeatedly guaranteed they’ll get it ready for then. Perhaps you can give them a nudge to let them know they have 3 days to get the outside work done. I’m sensing another let down, and I bet you won’t do anything about it!

    @virginmedia why on earth is my internet so slow. Only been with you 2 months and it is terrible for the past 3 days. My son is trying to revise for his GCSEs for 2 exams tomorrow and this is not good. Nothing will load. Get this sorted asap

  • fcmad1960
    FootballCricketMad (@fcmad1960) reported

    @virginmedia Hi there, my problems are still unresolved and even your "Resolutions" team is blanking me. I need confirmation that we're at the end of the road so I can go to the regulator. How can I get this pls?

    @Benleo @ailsybabe @virginmedia Please make an example and put them in their place. Hopefully out of buisness. Horrible company, Virginmedia.

    @saltyy_savage Virgin media personally as much as they annoy me with their prices, they have always been the most reliable, they have issues now and then but generally it works. Recently I was paying around 90 odd for gigabit, all sports, all uhd managed to get 500 now keep all sports for 72

  • Luv_Farmers
    Chrissie (@Luv_Farmers) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia I'm surprised that an investigative journalist even accepted these conditions in the 1st place. VM has an awful reputation for this kind of behaviour which is widely known. Sorry this happened to you but it was to be expected

  • Jackmeough7058
    Jackmeough1 (@Jackmeough7058) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Left 08/23. Landline wasn't working for 12months+. Indian call centre kept promising engineers that never came. Online logs of issue were cancelled automatically after 28 days 'You haven't been back in touch, assume issue is resolved'. I was a customer over 20yrs. ******* useless

    @Benleo @Iwontcalmdown @virginmedia They really are the worst company got rid of them finally but they still kept taking money.

    Carl S (@screwy73) reported

    @virginmedia I no its not a fault free service but your faults are very regular as i said 3 to 4 times a week compared to once in a blue moon on a BT line , and when i do a check nothing wrong with my line , so it must be my router which works fine till you have a fault 🙄

    @Benleo @lindseyjacks67 Your biggest mistake was entertaining Virgin media in the first place! I would never give any money to Richard Branson..ever! Vile man!

    @Benleo Just look at @Trustpilot reviews. Almost impossible to cancel an @virginmedia contract. Sent all evidence to Ombudsman, got written apology and £150.
