• 
  Sandeep Pandya (@spandya1) reported 14 seconds ago from Watford District, England

  Called @virginmedia , now a technician booked. Outages are now common, there’s little communication from @virginmedia on actual status, even the service status page is usually out of date and the call centre staff admitted to me they don’t know what’s going on.

  @virginmedia Is this how you treat your ‘priority customers?’ During a cost of living crisis, we have chosen to stay with you, yet you can’t pull your finger out to look after your customers. I work from home but can’t fully use the service I’m paying for due to your incompetence.

  @virginmedia do you think it’s acceptable for a customer to be waiting for more than 20 minutes (and still waiting) for one of your agents to answer the phone? #justasking

  @richardbranson virgin media U.K. business service is appalling , customer service and tech support are lying, promising callbacks just to get you off the line, 3 weeks no service my business is chaos, my SLA is 12 hours yet no one to talk to fault: F010324227 No one is helping

  Sandeep Pandya (@spandya1) reported 14 minutes ago from Croxley Green, England

  @virginmedia An engineer came today. Issue resolved. If you remember I told you that it was highly probable that work being performed at a cabinet on our street may have resulted in our issue. I also told your telephone support team. That’s exactly what had happened. Appalling service.

  John carroll (@Johnboy82903002) reported 15 minutes ago from Brentford, England

  @virginmedia I have done, but there is nowhere to report a total outage, despite the message, and no estimated time. I have no landline or broadband, and haven't for 2 days

  Snatch (@U2Gorilla) reported 17 minutes ago from Southall, England

  Requested to cancel my contract and told my account doesn’t exist anyway. Thank you Virgin Media.

• 
  Peggy Dyer (@Mrspdyer) reported 20 minutes ago from Barnet, England

  @virginmedia No, I’m trying to find out the status of my complaint received by Virgin on 30 September. I’ve had zero communication or acknowledgment of it.

  John carroll (@Johnboy82903002) reported 20 minutes ago from Barnet, England

  @virginmedia Its a fault in the area, I have been given a fix time of 9am on the 19th for the landline and broadband, now my tv has gone down as well

  The waving mechanical roadgoat™ (@silvergoatish) reported 22 minutes ago from Camden, England

  @virginmedia Duly noted. I'm not likely to be a customer for much longer though, with your general level of service and pricing.

• 
  Peggy Dyer (@Mrspdyer) reported 25 minutes ago from Barnet, England

  @virginmedia Yes, we’ve all reported it and service update says fix by 4pm today. Thanks.

  @virginmedia Been a long term customer of Virginmedia and recently renewed contract along with O2 mobile but customer services has gone downhill. Having issues with Wi-Fi,phoned again today and was told technical support will call me by 1:30pm, but no one has bothered.

  Alistair 🏴‍☠️ Burns (@gashead) reported 53 minutes ago from Hatfield, England

  Used to tell my colleagues on @virginmedia to switch to @BT to overcome reliability issues. Moved house and little choice to pick Virgin. No internet or TV for 7 days, fix due by 1pm today. Queried at 1.30pm and 6.30pm, assured it would be today, told to relax. Frankie says BS.

  Hey @virginmedia I've been on hold for 20 minutes and I'm losing the will to live. Need help with WiFi password

• 
  Yessi Bello-Perez (@yessibelloperez) reported 58 minutes ago from Ealing, England

  @virginmedia Last time, our wifi was down for over a week. I spoke to an agent on the phone who was utterly useless. You never offer any solutions. I’m starting to think that the only way for you to take any action is if I cancel my DD.

  Sandeep Pandya (@spandya1) reported 58 minutes ago from Watford, England

  @virginmedia is there a problem impacting broadband in wd17? Services dropped suddenly at around 1:30-1:45pm today.

  Peggy Dyer (@Mrspdyer) reported 58 minutes ago from Barnet, England

  @virginmedia Also raised it in web complaint form which didn’t work. Web complaint form hasn’t worked for 2 months. Then sent letter and still no response. 2/

  @virginmedia Yes and told the same as it’s all in 1 package I can’t cancel Tv part and keep the BB until sky sort it out which is after my end date and therefore I will be charged inflated price- all I want is to cancel TV and until switch happens keep the BB surely VM can do this

• 
  John Mercer (@Merse2506) reported 9 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Hi I have been a VM customer for many years and have complained about my box s8nce you switched to a WiFi version. I get "buffering" and channel failed messages constantly. This happens and a low bandwidth message appears with tbe graphic even when the channel is still working.

  BigF (@Bigg_F_) reported 14 minutes ago

  @virginmedia my broadband has been intermittent (mostly off) for the last 4 days. Can’t get through on phone. AI chat only suggests factory reset of hub. Each time I do a status check it says intermittent signal in your area check back in 24 hours. It’s now been 4 DAYS.

  andrea stevenson (@AngeStevenson) reported 16 minutes ago

  @virginmedia hi! I keep getting a message saying to upgrade my virgin box to get sky Atlantic - is it easy to install myself, is it a case of using the same wires as my existing box so a quick change over? Also my internet is often very poor, I assume this won’t affect the box?

• 
  Irvine sparrow (@IrvineSparrow) reported 26 minutes ago

  @virginmedia so I’m trying to cancel my contract and I’m speaking to Soyinka Sheffield but their English is so bad I can hardly understand them. Apparently she is the only person that can deal with me. Thank god I’m leaving ( well I hope I am ) !!

• 
  AL.Crew (@al_crew) reported 28 minutes ago

  .@virginmedia your award winning broadband in area 06 has not been working since 3rd April... Intermittent signal in your area, 12 hours of broadband & no wifi for 2 weeks is not acceptable, you should be paying compensation for loss of service! #virginmedia

  Graham Booth (@laserblue) reported 28 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Hi, it seems my set top box is on the blink and my chances of watching my beloved Man City maybe at risk. I could switch to Nowtv, but that will cost me £15 for a 24hr pass. I've used the tips as featured in the trouble shooting guide. No luck. Can you help? Thanks

  Millions of mobile phone users face data rationing and price hikes after Rachel Reeves excluded telecoms firms from a major energy discount scheme. Chancellor Reeves left VodafoneThree, Virgin Media O2 and EE out of the British Industrial Competitiveness Scheme which gives a 25% cut on electricity bills to thousands of other businesses. Telecoms firms are now facing full 33% energy price rises triggered by the Iran war and are drawing up emergency plans including slowing speeds, restricting data during peak times and charging premiums for heavy usage. One network warned up to 9,000 jobs could be at risk and 5G rollout plans shelved. VodafoneThree said it is “disappointed” and urged the Government to protect the critical digital networks the country depends on. Virgin Media O2 added that if the Government wants growth it cannot overlook the networks Britain relies on.
