-
Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England@virginmedia 2 technicians over a week period, 4 visits. TV back on but Internet on and off now. Will be ringing Sky tomorrow and also your cancellation team. Clearly this is my service from now on.
-
Scott Noble (@ScottN1504) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, EnglandHas anyone ever sent anything back to virgin media before? Need some help if possible
-
Maxine Tennet (@maxinetennet74) reported from Walker Gate, EnglandWhat will it take for @virginmedia to actually sort out an account after a bereavement??? 3 months later, endless calls and empty promises. Continued anxiety and distress for an elderly woman is not the bereavement service I’d expect. Appalling.
-
Stu (@tenchylad) reported from Sunderland, England@virginmedia why is your self service so poor please. Unable to resolve the fault that I have on my service for 2 days now. No one to speak to and the website is abhorrent in terms of customer experience and engagement. Endless loop of bad requests within the servers you use too
-
Keith Dawson (@KeithRwc) reported from Washington, EnglandLooks like @virginmedia are again trying to take Netflix payment that should already be included in my Volt. This is disgusting behaviour having already spoke to them previously!! Anyone else having similar issues?
-
Carl Walsh (@Carl_Walsh33) reported from Wallsend, England@virginmedia I look forward to the money off the bill for the issues.
-
Sarah (@Rainbowztwit) reported from Whitley Bay, England.@virginmedia Broadband down - phone line states because of 'improvements'- not expected back until 3pm. Why was there no notice so I could arrange to work from alternate location? How do I get warning in future?
-
Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England@_MMaritima @virginmedia Wired speed test would be to isolate between a wireless problem or the connection in. Router might be shielded which would kill signal. Make sure other electronics aren't too close. I can ruin my wireless if I put router on top of my TiVo box
-
Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia Nothing reported when I checked before tweeting. Seems to have stabilised for now but must've dropped 15-20 times in the last 48h. No faults were reported on the site when my father-in-law had a complete loss of service a couple of months ago, but it was reported on the helpline.

LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England@virginmedia Can I win a TV service that works (Thursday 2nd Dec it's been off since) , or internet with no huge drop outs please? Or a link that works to fix anything. #AllIWantForChristmasistheserviceipayfor

Andrew Morris💙 (@Andymorris74) reported from Mitford, England@virginmedia Your whole system is down! No access to telephone No access to broadband No access to website No access to status checker What’s going on???
-
emma (@ema_neale) reported from Sunderland, England@virginmedia Thanks for your reset help earlier it worked, unlike waiting 10 hrs for someone to finally respond to me again via WhatsApp. I was told that there were no offers for current customers yet your website states otherwise!
-
Bob Scott (@scotty8461) reported from Shiremoor, England@virginmedia disgusting slow speeds AGAIN in NE27 Cant wait for my contract end

-
Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported from Newburn, England@markcatchlove @virginmedia Pleased it’s not just me Mark. It really pee’s me off the contempt with which they treat their existing, loyal customers, some of whom have remained loyal since the days when they were Telewest. #newcustomersonly

Elias (@EB51_) reportedTell me why @virginmedia I’ve tried to set up broadband with yourselves but you’ve cancelled without telling me, I’m under the assumption that Monday 18th May that an engineer will be here to connect me up, However, after contact your customer service they have repeatedly…

davidthorpedecorator (@dthorpedecor) reported@virginmedia tv is not working and the cup final is on at 3 any update?
-
Dollynoocat (@dollynoocat) reported@virginmedia still getting channel not authorised on some channels following yesterdays issue where all channels not working for a number of hours.
-
G HUNTer (@Why__OMG__Why) reported@DowndetectorUK found alternative ways of watching ITV1. get a clearer constant picture than Virgin Media. Several sources at zero cost. With the constant problems and ever increasing costs, I don't mind if I get interrupted tv at such an enormous discount.
-
South Coast Commuter (@CS_Hants) reported@virginmedia @docrussjackson Make a formal complaint and say you will report to @Ofcom. Ask for compensation, there are plenty of precedents. They are measured on how many and how quickly they resolve customer complaints. Am dumping VM tomorrow after 18 months of abysmal service, cant wait to be rid of them!
-
David Gordon (@gordonwd) reported@virginmedia So you accept there's been an error processing my order and tell my you can't resolve it - I have to call your customer support team. I call them, get out on hold for 5-10 minutes and the call simply gets disconnected. Been a fan of you guys for years - I'm wavering.

Steve Justa (@SteveJusta) reported@txddyrilxy @virginmedia The ******* ****** my **** up too, bunch of ******* *****!!!

Called customer service 8am revealed major issues in my area. I received NO notification kept in the dark. WHAT IS GOJNG ON? NEED ANSWER ASAP!!
-
Steve Justa (@SteveJusta) reported@bisho32287 @virginmedia Just seen the same. Totally unacceptable, wth kind of 'outage' could need 30hrs (at least) to repair?!
-
Bear Holland (@follow_the_bear) reported@virginmedia @VespaPX12570 Why no compensation for loss of TV it makes up one third of monthly payment for broadband, phone and TV services. If TV goes down for a day should get 33% minimum of contract cost for the days loss of TV service. What would CISAS say? #CISAS
