Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England
@virginmedia There is no webmail to log on says try later - for 5 weeks Absolute shocking service
-
me (@shenry1972) reported from Whitley Bay, England
@virginmedia I suggest you feed this back to Customer Service as I very much doubt I'm the first customer who's been misinformed on this. The engineer was supposed to be calling about my ongoing intermittent service issues, with both TV and internet.

LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England
@virginmedia Still down now, can work from Catch Up or my recordings, but nothing live as there are no channels. Drop outs in WiFi too. Not great.

Chris Wade (@chriswadehome) reported from Whitley Bay, England
@virginmedia how do I manage the devices registered to the virgin tv go app. Online help not any help
-
Phil Byrne (@Chickawacka) reported from Gateshead, England
@virginmedia why am I having daily and sometimes multiple outages with your broadband service? Checked service status which always says everything is fine. It's so fine I need to switch off WiFi on my devices and use 4G. Thoughts welcome.

@virginmedia After speaking to yet another member who stated they couldn’t do anything about it, I said I was going to cancel so I was transferred. The guy I spoke to was for once someone I could understand, he was able to sort my issue out in 10 minutes after being on the phone for 1 hour
-
me (@shenry1972) reported from Whitley Bay, England
@virginmedia According to your Customer Service I was informed I was to get a phone call by 5pm on Wednesday. When I rang back on Thursday to complete my order for a replacement box (after being offered a V6 but would have to pay installation) I was told no later than 5pm Friday.

@k_faulkner @virginmedia @jimconey I only got offered the new customer deal 20 days into my 30 day notice period after actually quitting! By which point I'd already signed up with someone else

Hi @virginmedia, I have recently signed up for your WiFi package. However the Webpage when I try to register for a My Virgin Media account appears to be broken. Is there any other way to register for an account online? Thank you

@virginmedia Customer service non existant
-
me (@shenry1972) reported from Whitley Bay, England
@virginmedia Okay so why was I told it would be coming by post in 5 working days and why have I still not had a call from an engineer? Kind of my main issues and you can't blame Yodel for them!!
-
Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England
@virginmedia hi are you having problems in NE34? Our TV has been down since around 10.45am with error code V53. Can’t check service status online as your site appears to be unavailable.

Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England
@virginmedia Why can't you just deal with by dm and resolve the issue

𝕭𝖎𝖌 M𝖆𝖗𝖐𝖇𝖔𝖜𝖘𝖐𝖎 (@Markticus) reported from Consett, England
Incredibly stressful and poor customer service from @virginmedia, Not adhering to T+Cs. Agent lying on phone to me. not allowing complaints and just blatantly lying Absolutely disgusted
-
Deggsy™ (@Deggsytweets) reported from Sunderland, England
@BurnleyJo @virginmedia Yea they’ve got issues with certain channels
-
me (@shenry1972) reported from Whitley Bay, England
Why is @virginmedia customer service so unrelentingly bloody awful?? Still no call from an engineer, told replacement TiVo box would come by post for it to come out by courier and get notified of this 20 minutes after the delivery window has started and I was at work 😡
-
JoshSlesser (@Slesss_) reported from South Shields, England
@virginmedia @O2 your volt supercharge is a con! Why has my virgin media bill doubled and I’m being charged for making changes to my bill, none of this was mentioned to me this is a breach of contract im not paying almost £100 just cancel my package if that’s the case
-
Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England
@virginmedia Excuses excuses but no resolution how long will it take 2 days since incident raised and waiting for contact back as instructed why would I waste my day calling incompetent people when someone is trying allegedly to sort it Same old crap customer service

Mohammed J Kharal (@MKharal786) reported
@richardbranson Dear Mr Branson, I would like to bring to your attention, how terrible the service has been from one of your companies, Virgin Media. It has been over a year since I’ve been experiencing issues but NOT a single person in your organisation has taken responsibility.
-
Paul Whitelegg (@PaulWhitelegg) reported
@virginmedia John, thank you for the reply. Currently things are working. However, that misses the point. It’s the inherently unreliable service that is objectionable. This comes in different guises: drop outs; reduced speeds; variable WiFi signal strength. And its been like this since Jan.
-
Michael John Kemp. GSM. esq. (@emkaybeesoon) reported
@virginmedia @boola81 Internet has been down in LU6 3AG since 15:00 yesterday with nothing on your status page, pings to google are intermittent and lots of time outs.
-
Crystal78 (@Crystal27674320) reported
@virginmedia can someone please DM me regarding an Alf account and cheque refund. Poor customer service
-
Saurabh Rana (@Mr_Saurabh_Rana) reported
@virginmedia Day 2 - without broadband. Spent 2-3 hours on Customer care HelpDesk but no luck. #virginmedia #virginmediadown #stillwaiting
-
Andrew Molodoi (@idrewdoughnut) reported
@virginmedia John, it’s been 11 months. Please stop with the absurd excuses. Having 0.3 Mbps every single day for 11 months is not acceptable. The estimate for this fix is always 2 weeks, but has been postponed 25 times!!
-
Sadé (@iamsade_x) reported
@virginmedia I am a vulnerable customer but I received an increase in my contract even though I was told I would be exempt? Could this be seen to please 😢
-
Fede Rilli 🇮🇹🇬🇧🇪🇺 (@federilli) reported
@virginmedia Sadly getting worse. Even lost the phone signal. Wifi terrible. It’s such a disaster
-
Paula Akpan (@paulaakpan) reported
One day, I really will write a report into how service-providing corporations like @virginmedia lock people into contracts, attempting to squeeze money out of people at every turn, and the devastating impact it can have, especially if it affects your credit score etc

Ellie Rocks (@EllieSRocks) reported
@virginmedia No this is the problem. We never received any emails and called to query why
