Sharon Cooper (@vamplady35) reported from Gillingham, England@jamesdgreen02 @virginmedia I've got the same problem. Was told by the faults team that if it wasn't fixed by 11pm last night that it should be fixed by 8pm tonight. Still not fixed at the moment
-
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
-

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?
-

-
Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@MartinSLewis Virgin Media wifi been unstable since June 2020. Virgin Media never resolved the problem caused me to lose hundreds of £'s. Made me lose my PIP. Virgin made me pay double because they kept charging me twice most months. They've made me lose half my PC Guarantee
-
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!!
-
grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported from Thundersley, England@virginmedia I have spoken to your CS team about raising a complaint and have been told that the complaints procedure is for existing customers. As I am yet to go live, I am not considered a customer and therefore have no where to go.
-
Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Rochester, England@virginmedia sort your customer service out they have just cut meoff again!!! Whilst on hold to make a complaint #ripoff
-
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.
-
LiisaJane'x (@LiisaJane) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia @nickgooner80 I wanna know why my broadband has been all day! I do not want to be paying for a service I cannot use!!!!!! 🤬🤬 I have a bored 6 year old. SORT IT OUT!!! And I can’t check my service status as I can’t access the internet even on my 4G or the virgin media app.

Breeda Murphy (@breeda_murphy) reported@MariaPIreland @longlostfamily @virginmedia Yes Maria. Too many left this world never knowing a sense of belonging, There was no paper trail and DNA had not advanced to provide heritage. Even today it is difficult to gain answers and Government appear eager to ignore
-
John Hawkes (@JohnHawkes2001) reported@Starlink I switched to Starlink and I absolutely love it. The performance has been incredible compared to the UK ISPs I’ve used. I was with Virgin Media, and Starlink beats it hands down for gaming and streaming. The connection is fast, reliable, and far more consistent than I expected from a satellite service. Another big advantage is that I no longer have to deal with the rip-off pricing and policies of many UK ISPs. And if you’ve ever tried leaving Virgin Media, you’ll know exactly what I mean, it can be an absolute nightmare. With Starlink, the whole experience feels much more straightforward and customer-friendly.

Kerrie Reid (@MrsReidteaches) reported@virginmedia @O2 I just want to speak to a real person about my locked account but can't get past the first part of automated phone service 🤬 not impressed. Who can help please?
-
Paul Griffin (@PGriffinFC) reportedWatched the awful England game on Virgin Media. Judging by my timeline, the commentary of Sam Matterface and Lee Dixon was a lot worse. They're getting a right pile on. RTE's punditry is terrible for the WC. No choice elsewhere. I have never seen analysis so bad.
-
liam (@liamsimo95) reported@SkyHelpTeam @bt_uk what broadband services do you offer to new customers? As @virginmedia broadband is **** and repeatedly disappoint all customers, surely won’t be too hard to provide a decent service rather than mediocrity
-
Geoff Naylor (@geofn3751) reported@virginmedia intermittent broadband service in our area for the past week, told it will take another week to fix. Want to change service provider but told must pay a penalty for early termination (for a service they are unable to provide?). Great customer service.
-
Emily Atkins (@bahallathegreat) reported@virginmedia guys come on sat and the internet is down what’s going on this keeps happening every other week. I know the weather is bad but I pay good money I think I’ll have to go back to bt when contracts over
-
Sodium (@sodiumlights) reportedSo, my @virginmedia hub died on Thursday. Finally worked out how to call them yesterday. Today a guy comes out to fix it but can't. Just got a message saying they'll be here on TUESDAY. Until then, no internet or TV. And no changes to the heating. Or the cat flap...
-
Mrs c (@w47carr) reported@virginmedia The reason I need to cancel is because we ad a bad thunderstorm and my tv hdmi ports are all broken so I can't watch the tivo box
-
Colin Fenn (@ColinFenn45) reported@virginmedia Hi, poor signal strength is wifi only, if I am streaming on my laptop it becomes unusable, with a msg not enough bandwidth, and will last for about 15mins. The signal strength notification struggles to make any bars, and eventually clears.
