-
Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia I’ve sorted the issue. But now there’s no way of cancelling the engineer! Can’t get through on phone. Appointment isn’t showing on their account, so can’t cancel there. WhatsApp is useless - been waiting for an Agent to be available since about 1pm!
-
Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, EnglandHey @virginmedia Parents new 360 box not working and engineer not available to come out til the 27th!!!! Not good enough! 😔
-
Rob Green Jnr (@rob_green86) reported from Thundersley, EnglandAnyone else really struggling with slow speeds over the last 10 days with @virginmedia. It's been spot on for 2 years now and then 10 days it seems something has happened. Lucky to get over 10Mb now 🙈
-
Jamie Meecham🏳️🌈♥️ (@JamieMeecham) reported from Canvey Island, England@virginmedia care to explain why a member of staff felt that hanging up on a customer complaining about their broadband is acceptable? And now I’m stuck on hold AGAIN to solve my issue.
-
Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia Actually that’s wrong, I received an email to advise that the complaint had been resolved and had to respond saying it hasn’t. What hope is there when you can’t even get a complaint right?
-
Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported from Gillingham, England@virginmedia This is so tiresome I have complained so many times about slow broadband speed, unreliable WiFi, terrible TV services & only after threatening to leave did you send an engineer in July. This made it a little better, but recently it’s been unreliable of an evening.
-
Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Rochester, England@BBCWatchdog can you help @virginmedia make it impossible to complain or resolve any issues the ultimate poor customer service!!
-
lindsay wood (@Dearnormajeane) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@kelseybytheway @virginmedia Second this so ******* hard. Diagnostics dont do **** when the issue is with the hardware itself
-
Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England. @virginmedia down yet again? Not able to watch On Demand and error messages. Plus their website is down. 🙄
-
Sharon Cooper (@vamplady35) reported from Gillingham, England@virginmedia My understanding is that it is affecting a lot of people. I have now worked out how to access my email another way but do strongly feel that virgin media should be looking to resolve this issue ASAP.
-
Lisa Philpott (@Lisa2672) reported from Rayleigh, England@Shayan86 @virginmedia It’s a disgrace - my husband works in tv too. You 100% cannot rely on VM. I am definitely changing. My bill started off at £35 and is now £45 as we had to buy boosters. Worst service ever. Skybroadband non-fibre was better than this.
-
⚒Adrian Smith⚒ (@adiesmith64) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@KAYI50747133 @virginmedia Yep how you have explained it is exactly the same for me, have tried my 2nd box upstairs but the same problem!
-
∂αиѕкι (@DanskiBoyWonder) reported from Rochester, England@virginmedia Thankyou I’ve done that hopefully they fix it 🙏🏻
-
Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@Mattallwright 2 years on since I have been having trouble with Virgin Media (fingers crossed) they may have now get an uninterrupted supply after charging me late payments more than double my Media prices whilst as a Vulnerable Person they were awful
-
Paul Parker (@paulparker81) reported from Basildon, England@virginmedia experiencing the worst customer service I have ever had. Been a customer for 10+ years but not after today @SkyUK will be gaining another customer instead
-
Rochester Boy. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 (@polhilljim) reported from Rochester, England@virginmedia I've already done that. They've made promises but done nothing. I always have to chase you. Phone backs just don't happen. Nobody wants to help.
-
Dr Stower and the Stock Market of Madness 🦍 (@1CreativeRay) reported from Wainscott, England@virginmedia Hi VM, I ordered a replacement remote control for my TIVO box. Just realised that was a couple of months ago but it never came. When trying online again it says as I’ve had one within six months I can’t order another. Please check that the first was ever sent, thanks
-
paul fouracre (@moleyfozz) reported from Rochester, EnglandTwo contrasting phone calls to @virginmedia CS this morning. Really unhelpful 1st guy / rude. Rang directly back and the differner guy was absolutely amazing. Mathew was his name and he needs a praise. 1st guy really needs a lesson in customer service. Thank you Mathew.
-
Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported from Gillingham, England@virginmedia No, we’re way past all that now, this has been going on for months/years. Now, I can’t even get to talk to anyone. I’ve requested you change my box. You haven’t. What is the head office address for service of legal documents please?

Mark Aitken (@sparky0710) reported@virginmedia Still no Internet. A full day without Internet and no update as to what is the issue or when likely to be resolved. Definitely be leaving after contract. WFH and this isn't first outage. Never had this with previous provider.
-

-
Paul foster (@Paulfoster_64) reported@virginmedia Rh117ef internet down again! This service is absolutely dog ****!

Daviad Lee (@DeliJoJ82464825) reportedTired of paying for multiple subscriptions like Sky, BT Sport, Virgin Media, Now TV, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Apple TV+? I have got the solution. This IPTV @8k_ultra_IPTV6 offers: • 300,000+ live channels • 65,000+ VODs • PPV events • Netflix • 78,000+ movies
-
keith addy (@ads913) reported@virginmedia I understand they're introductory, but the gap is £51/month for the identical package. That's not a normal "new customer discount" that's a loyalty penalty. What can you actually offer me?
-

Mollipod ✨ twitch streamer 💜 (@mollipod) reported@_Cheebiez I literally moved from virgin media to a different provider last year for this exact problem. Honestly they’re a joke!!
-
Lorenzo Rodia (@lrodia) reported@youfibre , do you know roughly when the service will be available where I live? Before the Virgin Media buy out I could see I was on the final phase and now it’s showing I am an early bird again! I can see virgin fibre have also installed new cabinets in my street!
