Rochester Boy. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 (@polhilljim) reported from Rochester, England@virginmedia I need to speak to a manager who can help. They don't seem to want to. I have a contract phone, it won't charge, it's under guarantee, I'm paying you and you won't help.
-
Tolu (@tolu_____) reported from Basildon, England@virginmedia How about just provide me a link to download the less than 10mb of pdf? Admin fee to provide a link or email a customer of over 3years? What have you offered me in return for the many times of INTERRUPTED service when I’ve had to turn to my mobile hotspot?
-
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…
-
Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia I’ve now been told that there is no complaints team, despite the fact I spoke to them earlier. How is it possible to be so poor?
-
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!!

-
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.
-
SatansLittleGirl🔮 (@lillyelizax) reported from Gillingham, England@virginmedia There isn’t internet down time the box has stopped working, they can’t get a new box out here till mid week, with a lot of people working from home you think you’d have next day delivery or something, bad enough we can’t have a engineer out to help
-

Does this mean I have to contact support again…….

BZSM1TH (@BazingaSmth) reported@virginmedia Any problems with voice service ? My TV remote is no longer recognising voice commands. Remote is working and I rebooted box. Just get spinning "listening" icon
-
Sam Greenland (@SprocketEtQuill) reportedThis week I’ve learnt a lesson. Resilience in AI Agents isn’t just about model provider Vs local hosting. This week @virginmedia accidentally cut my internet connection and it’ll be a week before they can fix it. I’m buying a 5G router so the baby monitors still work because that’s a safety concern! The router will also bring the Mac Mini back online so two of my three agents will be back. The third agent is on a laptop at work so they’re still up anyway. Resilience baked in was a good strategy, but it will get better still. There’s always room for improvement?
-
Brian Geekie (@geekiebrian) reported@virginmedia I’m still locked out of my virginmedia account after waiting 15 working days for resolution of this problem
-
Seno (@SenosLIVE) reported@virginmedia please get your **** together, 3rd day in a row internet goes down at 9pm with no solution to the problem other than check back in 24hours. I’m paying £40 a month not for this. Soon it’s gonna be time to switch providers
-
john o shea (@osheaj77) reported@VMSportIE Bye bye virgin media , time for me to go down a different road
-
James Drury (@jamespdrury) reportedConsidering Virgin Media broadband but don't want a Hub 5? If you're in a VM full fibre area, GiffGaff broadband comes with an Eero 6+ and 900Mb (UP & DOWN) is just £32 per month, no mid contract increases. Use own router for upto 1.2Gb. Use referral code K0DEJXGV for £50 credit.
-
TommyH (@TW19_2_3) reported@virginmedia total shite, no broadband, failure after failure. Bullshit service
-
Chris (@Brutha_bear74) reported@virginmedia I’m trying to login to my account but I’m getting an error code of IDF-12B, how can I pay my bill or get in the app? It’s not recognising my email even though I’m getting my email bills from you
-
Nadine_CCN (@NadineD_G) reported@virginmedia more than 24 hours of no internet service in the E4 area. I’m seeing people saying that this has gone on for days with them. How can we confirm that our service will be up and running by the suggested time? I have work to do and this is really causing a delay.
-
Cambridgewater.x (@cam_bridgewater) reported@vmbusinesshelp @vmbusiness . Just "upgraded" to Voom 1 gig from 500. Speed slower than previously. Called technical .. they did some fault clearing and told me to reboot router, now I have no internet at all. Technical can't help reverse the error as they don't have full access .. unbelievable. Worst service ever. How can a technician make things worse and then tell me an engineer will be with me Monday ..
