-
Caroline (@Miss_Pumpkin666) reported from Birmingham, England
@sahinbrum @virginmedia I agree that their compensation policy is bs, I’ve found when I’ve had any outage affect me, they patch it quickly so the service gets intermittent while they work on a full fix, that way they don’t have to compensate, even if service drops out every couple minutes. BS really

Well @virginmedia you have let so many people down with no apology or update. Disgraceful.
-
Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England
@virginmedia No estimated time. "It's a complex problem". In other words its a network fault not a line fault. Why isn't the number you shared available on your website? The service checker is useless in this scenario. The website says it's working when it isn't.

Virgin media has been down since this morning what a joke

Peter Brocklehurst (@pasty_pete) reported from Solihull, England
Good old virgin media down again twitch in one week and I’m told two to three days before anyone can come out yet I bet the bill will arrive on time
-
Nicky Rowe (@nickywolko) reported from Dudley, England
@virginmedia new tv box Friday as mentioned before didn’t work Friday started working yesterday now today it’s off again! Done the status check says no problems said box was on standby. I did get a flicker of a program for less than a minute then no signal.

Chris Burden (@WulfrunianChris) reported from Wednesfield, England
My contract with Virgin Media has run out and they want to up my contract price by DOUBLE. When I rang up to cancel I expected them to offer me a better deal and they were just Ok bye.
-
Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England
@virginmedia You only pay out for a total loss of service. So it can be unusable but still limping along and you won't pay out. Personally I am hoping for another provider to get around to rolling out fibre in my area.

AM. (@whatsyourtwitta) reported from Birmingham, England
Ffs my @virginmedia wifi is down…again 😤😤😤 - apparently I need to wait till midday tomorrow to get it fixed?!? No Netflix, no Xbox no nothing tonight ffs
-
Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported from Dudley, England
@virginmedia do you have a known issue with the sports channels? They aren’t working and the phone-line cuts me out off.

Suzi 🧡🖤🧡💕 (@Suzanne_WW) reported from Dudley, England
@Samyg1 @virginmedia We have no internet DY1 issue?
-
Sana Parkar (@s_badruddin) reported from Birmingham, England
@virginmedia why is your box down? Why doesn’t any of your apps load? E.g. Amazon Prime? 😑
-
Steve Walters (@SteveWa13630733) reported from Birmingham, England
@virginmedia problems with emails all day. Message keeps saying try again in one hour. But no emails since 835am this morning. Are you aware of this problem? Any news on a fix for it?
-
Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England
@virginmedia Broadband connection and WiFi are stable but connectivity is intermittent-keeps losing connection every few minutes for 30 seconds. This is a network fault but I cannot find an option to report it. B90 1LB

Steve Walters (@SteveWa13630733) reported from Wolverhampton, England
@virginmedia @matty_gilbert94 Can’t check service status page - that is down too
-
AnnaBluez 🌧 (@anna_newbold) reported from Birmingham, England
@virginmedia what's up? No TV or telephone line & your website & customer services have crashed Have you paid your bill? #virginmedia
-
Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England
@virginmedia Your system sent me a satisfaction survey. Needed to complete it using mobile broadband because my virgin broadband doesn't actually work, but is apparently working enough to not qualify as being out of service.
-
Nicky Rowe (@nickywolko) reported from Dudley, England
@virginmedia my new tv box has arrived today and I can’t use it as our area is still down. Our broadband was down yesterday. At least it’s only the tv today it’s not as if we are without power or heating like some parts of the country. Customer services were helpful
-
Dave (@FuryZhil) reported from Dudley, England
@virginmedia I -think- my services are down due to maintenance in my area. I received a text from you apparently but no email or letter. Any news on how long this is?
-
Caroline (@Miss_Pumpkin666) reported from Birmingham, England
@Michaelallen_99 @philell21 @virginmedia Because the stupid rules say that if there’s a disruption to your services (over a specified amount of time), you’re legally entitled to compensation, but ONLY if you contact them to notify them that you specifically are effected, if you don’t they’re not obligated

Ash (@akakko86) reported
Why for the past 3 days has the internet gone down around 12-1pm??? @virginmedia
-
The Real M.E. 👩🦽🦥♿️🏴📢 (@therealmecfs) reported
@virginmedia We eventually did get the issue resolved but you can still expect a complaint because it has taken around 7 hours of phone calls over the course of a week to do something that should be relatively simple! It has been awful from start to finish.
-
Chris Munro (@ownyourbubble) reported
@virginmedia I'm not signing in to any more platforms, giving away personal details, until I AM a customer, as of yet I've had nothing but lies and dead promises from Virgin and Yodel. If you can help I'll give you info DM otherwise I'm off, you've no idea how much this has messed my job up.
-
Anthony Johnson (@Tonyhornet65) reported
@virginmedia 1/2 Done that. They won’t. Txted me link to website & response is “Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding” That’s on Virgin b/band. So getting nowhere, usual couldn’t care less ******* around by Virgin customer lack of service.
-
Coffee Rampage (@coffee_rampage) reported
Virgin Media are a ******* joke! Can't get **** done when the internet keeps cutting off.
-
TommyB (@Tommyboy_82) reported
@virginmedia just spent my 45 minutes lunch break on hold to cancel my subscription to then be put through to the disconnection team for them to hang up on me! I’m raging! Plus it’s costing me 55p a minute on hold! If I cancel my DD you’d be in touch quick enough!! #CrapService
-
James Cassidy (@jcassidy2) reported
@virginmedia @Mr_Penguinator_ Why do you think it’s ok to tell a customer how they feel about your services….if they think it’s awful customer service then that their opinion…saying no it’s not awful is childish and not professional
-
Tony Woodley (@zimoza90) reported
@virginmedia Very poor #customerservice. Thanks for the offer but have now finally managed to get through and negotiated a 'reasonable' package cost for this existing customer. Now trying to change DD date which is another overly complex procedure it seems.
-
radikalrak (@radikalrak) reported
@virginmedia Tried and nothing there. The problem is that the connection is dropping packets. So I can't use citrix, horizon or remote desktop if it keeps doing this.
-
MazRC (@rc_maz) reported
@virginmedia I agreed a contract in Nov, you have charged me over double each month since. Called and complained more than 10 times. No resolution. Can I please have my money back? I am so tired of dealing with your call centres who promise everything but do nothing.
