    And now you’re saying the only way to change the direct debit is to cancel contract, and start a new one on the right date... cost of that? £240!! @virginmedia really are corrupt.

    Hi, it's Virgin Media. We've put your service visit on hold while we investigate a network problem affecting your services. We'll update you when this is fixed. 3rd time in a week @virginmedia 3rd time in a week

    SJK (@SammyKnowlesX) reported from Banks, England

    @virginmedia I’ve spoken with someone in the new development team who’s advised they’ve escalated all my complaints and someone should be ringing me directly to take through and fix everything. However no response

  • PammyVegas21
    Pamela Lavell (@PammyVegas21) reported from Warrington, England

    When you cancel a direct debit pending an overpayment query, an extortionate figure is taken by them, you get charged £7.50 for late payment, you are on hold for 45 minutes and then they say the direct debit wasn’t cancelled 👀NEVER CHOOSE VIRGIN @virginmedia @SCOAF_UK

  • ShevingtonShark
    SHEVINGTON SHARKS (@ShevingtonShark) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Yes, nearly 48 hrs now. What is the issue? I work from home, and currently unable to do so🤬🤬🤬

  • DavidLaney
    ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Major waiting time on your customer service lines again today! Your web chat says a possible 24 hour wait until get back to me!? You guys not working from home? Come on, that’s an option surely? Please respond.

    knitswithbeer🐝🏳️‍🌈Stay Home (@Knitswithbeer) reported from Euxton, England

    @DisneyPlusUK @NPGLondon @virginmedia better sought out the local outage for this. Wait, I can watch on my tablet via the app you say? Not unless they also sought out the WiFi issue. Call them to complain you say? Not unless they sought out the landline issue...😐

  • SammyKnowlesX
    SJK (@SammyKnowlesX) reported from Banks, England

    @virginmedia And no response on my second, and then an incorrect bill, this is why someone is meant to be ringing me to sort it out and deal properly as I’m so angry with the service received

  • timmarner
    Tim Marner™ (@timmarner) reported from Bolton, England

    @sitcomsoldiers @virginmedia I’m hoping they apologise and give some compensation but not holding my breath mate, what a serious waste of time their customer service is.

    @virginmedia My broadband, TV and phone has been broken since Wed.Customer service has told me I won't get comp until 48hours from now as I hadn't reported an already know fault . I asked to escalate my complaint and I was told I should have used my mobile to report it !!

  • Megamicrodot1

    @virginmedia Our landlines keeps cutting out. My wife works from home and everyday it just stops working while she is teaching we keep ringing you and you keep saying nothing is wrong. Yet the local FB page is full of complaints about the service. It been going on for 2 months now.

    @virginmedia I have tried all the basic methods and advance methods you copy and paste to people to do. Its your network. I don’t receive “Gig1 Fibre Broadband” i was promised nor did I receive my 3-WiFi boosters as promised. So again, what am I paying for when you can’t keep up on your end?

  • KenHollingdale
    KenHol💙 (@KenHollingdale) reported

    @virginmedia how do I get the speed sorted out on my wi-if!! I’ve raised over phone but get an email ‘testing speed to hub’. Not the issue it’s the variable speed from it 0, 0.0525, 1.25, 6, 10, 45, 100, 300, then back to 0. Tried raising complaint online but no case number!

  • greenscott1

    @virginmedia your telephone customer service are terrible, now been on hold for 45 minutes.

  • LawAspi
    TheAspiLawStudent #NoReturns (@LawAspi) reported

    @virginmedia Service check done each time and flagged as fine, with all due respect, the issue won't be resolved by the forum and offering that as some kind of answer is just ridiculous. Do you even offer customer service anymore? Virtual chat wait is hours, phones are worse 🤔

  • Andyjames_p
    Andrew Parker (@Andyjames_p) reported

    @NoContextBrits @virginmedia Back in 2009 someone used all my details to sign up to virginmedia broadband and phone at my old address and I had to pay £120 to get it cancelled as they weren’t interested in the fraud committed, would never use them if they were the only company going!

  • CJ0000013
    CC (@CJ0000013) reported

    @virginmedia It isn't detecting any issues other than a TV related one. My issue is I'm getting less than 100mb download when I'm paying for 500mb. I've done multiple Router resets and still not improving my download speeds.

    @virginmedia Sky Sports Golf. Always seems to be the case that sound is completely random (today it’s music) or doesn’t exist. It seems to need a long term fix.
