Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported from Gillingham, England@virginmedia I’ve had two lengthy phone calls with your ‘technical support’ people; it briefly got quicker then stopped working completely. On their instructions I’ve changed some settings on my router which apparently may take 48 hours to fully take effect…
-
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.
-
Becca (@becshawyer) reported from Wickford, England@virginmedia disgusting customer service ... after months of issues still not being resolved our latest phone call after raising a complaint the customer service representative hung up on me! Getting to the point now where we will be leaving 😡
-
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 🙈
-
Dr Stower and the Stock Market of Madness 🦍 (@1CreativeRay) reported from Wainscott, England@virginmedia Terrible service from you these last two weeks! I have spent more than 4hrs on the phone to Asian based O2, and Virgin call centres who never help or process things. Also Capita in South Africa… Why do you use foreign call centres if they cannot do the job!!
-
Twiterteroo (@Twiterteroo) reported from Gillingham, England@virginmedia Folks, amuse me, why on earth would I or anyone complete a survey after leaving you when you couldn’t deal with the issue within 2 months and dare I say the plus 20 years we had an undiagnosed fault!?
-

Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia I’ve spent over 2 hours on the phone and I lost count of people I’ve spoken to when I got to 12. That’s just today and this has gone on for weeks. Pretty sure you would’ve lost me as a very longstanding customer by the time 28 days is up.

Sue Groves MBE (@SUEG46) reported from Rochester, England@virginmedia we seem to have WiFi still but our sky box has lost connection.. is this related to the issues you have?

C Borrill-Bromige (@cboxot) reported from Rochester, England@virginmedia I've been having issues with internet dropping out continuosly for a couple of months, you sent another WiFi pod still the problem is there! The hub 3 status network connection has warnings and is critical, losing sync! I have been spin around in circles!
-
grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported from Thundersley, England@virginmedia A number of times. But let’s be honest, they’re nothing but messengers. There is no escalation, and they can’t even call the construction company to escalate issues. As someone who has worked within many projects teams, and mapped business processes, yours is simply shocking
-
Ashley Halliday (@TylerTowers) reported from Gillingham, EnglandI’ve been on my knees far too much tonight. @virginmedia your broadband is awful these days. And resetting either fails or lasts 10 mins. From superhero to supergran. Not worth your monthly bill. #virginmediadown #virginmedia

Jim Harrigan (@Bloodrave1984) reported@virginmedia Still happening BB8 area code, signal drops and reconnects, I will deal with it publicly. I cannot watch shows on streaming, I can just about get a daily done if it cooperate long enough. This is not good enough service, you customer support is no help either.
-
Leedipus (@Leedipus) reported@djacid25 @virginmedia In 2019 Virgin started charging me for Internet that I wasn't receiving in December. By the end of Jan I had an engineer admit there was no way I'd have an active service until April and they were planning on just stringing me along until then. Find a different provider ASAP.
-
Dgjbear (@Dgjbear1) reported@AsstVirginmedia @princehowl_ This is an automated response. Zoe doesn’t exist. Virgin media is crap.

Eve (@EveFlorence1) reported@virginmedia how/where do I report damage to the brown box on the wall of my house? The front casing has come off and is lost, I need it fixing.
-
Frankie Mary (@piggywiggiewoo) reported@virginmedia my elderly mum was put on hold on the phone for nearly two hours waiting to speak to an agent and has given up. You are massively overcharging her and she needs to talk to you about her bill. Why aren't you answering the phone? I'm shocked by such poor service
-
Gary (@garyjdale) reported@virginmedia Good Morning, can I speak to someone about my internet please? I have no service at present. It says there’s a fault in my area but nothing about a total loss of service 🤔
-
Emerfly66 @CLLIreland @LCovidirl. #Free Palestine (@Emer49034181) reportedNot only that but they said they’d call me to discuss next steps . What next steps @VirginMediaIE ?!! What could I possibly contribute to solving the issue. This isn’t good enough @virginmedia. I have friends also experiencing problems with VM .
-
Chip Lewis (@crispinlewis) reported@virginmedia @ChiBkSequels Hey Virgin media, I need to cancel/renegotiate my contract. 30days notice is due at latest next Friday. Do I have e to send you a letter of cancellation or can I actually speak to a human to discuss reduced services/broadband only option, before it’s too late?
-
Jay Ess Bee (@punjabihammer) reported@obbsie @virginmedia Hence I left and went to @SkyUK Their call centre isn’t a machine, and if you’re not happy with the initial contact ask to speak to a supervisor and problems do get resolved.
