@virginmedia She has tried but every time they say they can’t help if she hasn’t got her password! Can I chat to someone about this as there are personal issues. I understand that this may be difficult as it is not my account. Thanks

.@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?

@Designer_Ross @SkyHelpTeam @virginmedia Yeah that’s the issue I’ve come across . Slow download speeds but always reported at just above the payment threshold. It’s got worse recently

@virginmedia Unfortunately not. The issue is she doesn’t receive any communication from Virgin apart from a monthly text with the link to her account. As she has no password etc she can’t access it

@virginmedia my Mam has been trying to sort her mobile out today. As she can’t remember her password or security answer, she has been unable to access her account to cancel it. Can you let me know what she can do?

@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!

@virginmedia Yes spoke to a member of the team, we have been having issues with our wifi. She offered to send another booster & cable out free off charge. Available on our contract. I’ve just received email to say my payments are going up to £60!!

@virginmedia The link asks me to log in which I do, then it shows me my contract etc, I can either fill a form in for someone to contact me but I’ve did it before or it shows the complaint as been closed

@virginmedia twice in 2 months that my hub 5 has completely gone down with a flashing red light and won’t work, I’ve had to book a technician for it both times. Costs too much for this to keep happening!

@OliverStanding @virginmedia It's not a great self serve option and poor customer experience. I have an issue trying to remove a service from my current package. Cant be done digitally or remotely. Only via phone which even then very few of the advisors have the levels of authority to amend your package.

@virginmedia @VirginMediaCorp It seems to me, in my area at least, that Virgin Media is incapable of providing the service its customers are paying for.

@virginmedia Last time an engineer visited, checked things made some amendments, gave me a form and the issue resided, however it is back again. I performed a network reset in case it's something to do with Windows update, i'll let you know if it persists.

@virginmedia Yes I’ve explained it to them about the repeated issues and having to reset my hub at least 16 times this month alone and I’ve been told I still have to pay £250 as I’ve only had one engineering visit instead of 3 …. During a Pandemic 😷

@virginmedia @VirginMediaCorp I don't want to complain, I just want the service I'm paying for. You know - one that works.

Computer keeps crashing today because our WiFi is being so temperamental 😭 I don’t understand, the booster I bought worked for a few months and now we’re back to terrible Virgin media service all around

@virginmedia My flatmate account holder gets advised to do this every time. Has never helped. Can you please check if there is any reports in N6 area of works going on? The router/cables/channels have all been tested and replaced etc recently so I can guarantee its not the kit
-
Matty Ross
(@mattyross_uk) reported
@virginmedia Yeah says no issues but as I understand it the information isn't updated regularly so you have more chance of seeing it up-to-date. The phone line will just divert to a call center who use the same info from website

CMH
(@CharlieHodgins) reported
@virginmedia It’s not good enough. I’m not able to work. This was happening with my previous hub also. £75 a month for a service that hasn’t been working properly for over a month. I won’t be a returning customer once my contract is over
