    @virginmedia Rebooted several times. Wi-Fi works fine, it’s just the VPN. Automated message says there’s still an issue.

  • Rob_Hicks
    W1NGNUT (@Rob_Hicks) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Doesn't matter now, we've terminated the contract and joined Three home broadband. I just think it's disgusting that a customer of over 10 years doesn't get offered a deal as good as a new customer.

  • Stephen12857059
    Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Nobody has called me and the WhatsApp chat is very frustrating and not dealing with the issue. This is very simple, I was sent contract paperwork with an agreed monthly fee of £86.75. Why have I paid two months of excessively higher payments. I should have left VM

  • jfrncs_
    John (@jfrncs_) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I have now tried unsuccessfully for 12 hours to use the WhatsApp service as again it goes around in circles if I am not immediately available. The number you helpfully provided hangs up after sending a link… please advise how I talk to someone about my account.

    @virginmedia why is the Sky Sports red button not working

  • Momrocks50

    Excuse me we pay enough for a "cough" service where is it? #virginmedia

  • kevmaslin
    Kev Maslin (@kevmaslin) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia The ideal resolution would have been for VM to return the document as originally promised. We have dealt with other companies in this regard and all have been prompt and professional. Even the DWP accepted a photocopy of the POA. Why VM couldn't is entirely beyond me.

  • ReissOmari
    Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I’m getting around 80mpbs now, should be 350 though, when I try and test it says there’s a problem in the area, but no further information

  • BeardPunk

    @virginmedia any updates on the VPN issue?

  • ________Danny
    Satish Danny Paul (@________Danny) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia I received my new 500+mps broadband only to get 6mps on my phone in my room. The Router is Terrible and cannot send the speed to devices via wifi. Not Good for anyone

  • F1Dweeb
    Hamps (@F1Dweeb) reported from Redditch, England

    Broadband not working folks and your site keeps crashing on 4g @virginmedia

  • CaseyRain
    Casey Rain (aka S-Endz) (@CaseyRain) reported from Birmingham, England

    Had an @virginmedia broadband outage on Sunday for 2 hours. Since then, connection so spotty that I'm getting 10 seconds of completely dropped packets followed by 20 seconds of slow-as-molasses ping times once every 10 minutes.

  • EvanD
    Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia 2/ Despite that issue being due to a junction connection in the cabinet in the street, the op seems to refuse to look at that and just wants to reboot my router. Also claims it is due to my use of Modem Mode. Is there anyone in the UK I can contact regarding this?

  • paulinespelman
    Polly P (@paulinespelman) reported from Coventry, England

    @virginmedia We have done this numerous times. I feel like we are going around in circles. We have 2 boosters as not working at all upstairs and still no good. An engineer has been out, still no better..

  • _shannonC
    shanny C 🌹 (@_shannonC) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia haha you mean the same forum where they didn’t answer me for days last time, and they didn’t resolve anything???? waste of time. they told me to check the speed and check for area issues. absolutely awful customer service when i’ve been complaining about this for WEEKS now.

  • BrianMCape
    Brian Cape (@BrianMCape) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia No. Already done it about 7 times without any luck. I refuse to waste more hours in queues, only to rehash my issues to another anonymous operator. I've been assured that this is in the hands of a named handler, who didn't call me back as promised and is ignoring my emails. Fail

  • ________Danny

    @virginmedia i logged another complaint 1 to 2 weeks prior and heard nothing back. i was advised by cust service a month ago not to log a formal complaint and log an internal complaint instead

    @virginmedia I'm having a few issues, I'm on the 1gb plan but hitting just over 500mb in speed tests and trying to login to your website just sends me in a loop because it has 2 email addresses linked so it won't let me login. Please help

    @virginmedia Apparently you're still looking into issues in the area... two months on from looking into issues in the area

    I do not have a stable connection to carry out my paid employment from home. I am having to use my phone data thanks to @lebara but having to pay an additional £10 per person as our data is quickly draining @virginmedia fix the issue i am paying for.

  • allypetrie81
    Ally (@allypetrie81) reported

    @virginmedia must be the most incompetent and negligent company I have ever had the misfortune to deal with. Account hacked and a fraudulent email now linked to my account for a month now. Zero help offered and no interest in removing the email. Anyone else had this?

  • CorkinDawn
    dawnieC (@CorkinDawn) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia how long before you respond please. If i need a new tv box then it needs to be ordered asap or are you going to refund me for the days i am paying for a tv service i cant use. Thanks

  • bookwormmumof2
    Allison🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🌻🦔📚 (@bookwormmumof2) reported

    @virginmedia It’s been sorted now, four weeks after two men from comex2000 dropped a heavy metal manhole onto our Internet connections You need to sort out your customer service, cause it’s absolutely dreadful. I told them that the 2 men had ruined this connection, but no one took any notice

  • Ndola19
    Dips (@Ndola19) reported

    @moonpeach212 @virginmedia Hey, VM will not sort anything out. I have spent so much time trying to sort out my issue as O2 failed to apply my Volt benefit. VM claims they have done everything while O2 claim they are waiting for VM confirmation. They drag the issue out hoping you will go away

  • tessasegal
    Tessa Segal (@tessasegal) reported

    @CommunityFibre another flat in our building has had CFibre installed, technician back today. Everybody else’s @virginmedia now not working- can you advise what we can do?!

  • Msenior89Senior
    Mark senior (@Msenior89Senior) reported

    @virginmedia absolute joke of a service, cant watch the rugby league again!! When are you going to sort out these issues its beyond a joke!

  • anandcheam
    Anand Gupta (@anandcheam) reported

    @virginmedia can you spend some money on customer care so they can answer calls / chats and LISTEN when they do ? You guys sent me 2016 router box when the agreement was to send the latest and now no one is licking up the phone, is that joke? @Ofcom British regulators need to penalise where it starts hurting the service company. Like they do in the USA, 100s of millions of pounds or billions. Not peanuts.
