    @virginmedia Async live chat (WhatsApp) sucks as you let me text you with a problem, let it sit for hours, then close it down if I don’t reply within 5 mins and repeat. I’ll just ignore all the comms.

  • BrianMCape
    Brian Cape (@BrianMCape) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia Just to let you know, I've taken the time to write out another complaint via the link. I've submitted and it says 'nothing to see here'. The link says response within 7 days, and the submission says 28 days, and then my portal says I haven't raised a complaint. ANOTHER FAIL

    @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?

  • s_birket
    Daisy (@s_birket) reported from Coventry, England

    @virginmedia Internet suddenly cut out yesterday, all checks done, but first available tech appt is 3rd Nov. I wfh, that will be 5 days without broadband. That's appalling.

    I hate VirginMedia me getting stupid little lag spikes

  • ReissOmari

    Ended up just reconnecting my TP Link router, it seems the problems were with my Hub 5 because everything seems to be working fine now. Not great @virginmedia

  • stumccullagh

    @virginmedia TV completely down this morning ,it’s been intermittent since September nobody helps me just fobbed off. Who is the ombudsman over you I can complain to? I’m no longer prepared to keep paying for services I’m not getting.

  • stumccullagh
    Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Solihull, England

    All TV boxes playing up , had issues for a couple of days now can’t get through on phones is there any issues in B37 area ? @virginmedia also I’ve been waiting nearly 2 years for my wifi booster

    @virginmedia As I am a sane human being, I’ve already looked online for help. Why answer like this - an obvious bot response. ??

    @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

  • BeardPunk

    @virginmedia any updates on the VPN issue?

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

    Mad that I pay £71 a month for 350mbps a month for @virginmedia for them to only supply me with 40mbps, internet is barely moving, can’t even load basic web pages on my MacBook or phone. Problems in the Birmingham area??

  • stumccullagh
    Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Solihull, England

    @Ofcom can I complain about @virginmedia to yourselves? Had no TV service for nearly a month with no help.

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

    @virginmedia And this is why, I'll be reporting you to trading standards for fraudulent misselling/misrepresentation and then abdicating ALL responsibility/accountability to resolve. There's no security/DPA issues in you giving me a direct dial number via DM. You just don't want to resolve.

  • stumccullagh
    Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia But when a contract is agreed like a mortgage or a fixed energy deal surely the agreement should last the full term. I’ve had issues since September & been told I can’t leave due to being under a contract so why should my costs go up when I’ve got an agreement in place until Dec

  • PolymathTim
    SorachiTim (@PolymathTim) reported from West Bromwich, England

    Zero Internet connectivity from @virginmedia now for pushing 12 hours. Resetting and/or powering down the hub does nothing, the diagnostic and fault tools just go round and around in an ever more boring circle. #LightningSpeedFarce

    @virginmedia Another fail. Well done 👏🏻

  • amancalledalex
    Alex Barker (@amancalledalex) reported from Coventry, England

    @GeorgeMonbiot @VodafoneUK I had a problem with @virginmedia which eventually got sorted out, but not before going to their Executive Team. Customer care was nonexistent on the phones. Customer care is challenging but staff need to show much more empathy with the customer.

  • mrmjprice
    Martin Price (@mrmjprice) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I have been but they couldn’t get a good-enough price and directed me to the self-service page but I get “customer-exclusion” at the end of the URL which tells me to use chat.

    @MadeleineEbbs57 @MalachySteenson Virgin media are literally paid taxpayer money to be sympathetic to the official line on this and many other issues.

    @virginmedia Looks like Sky when it rains. WTF 😭

  • norbertsteelez
    Norbertsteelez (@norbertsteelez) reported

    @virginmedia No TV channels all day. Just pixelated pictures. Tried the the website and it cannot check the service for my area. Pretty poor and amateur. And all we will get is a meaningless apology. What would happen if I held back my payments for a period of time and then apologising?

    @virginmedia @Da8blue How long will this issue persist for? It is a disgrace.

  • athomaswrites
    Andrew Thomas (@athomaswrites) reported

    @virginmedia Yup - my bill (Teesside) has gone up about a tenner, but my service is worse than ever. I'm seriously considering Starlink...

  • STEMbySTM
    STEM by STM (@STEMbySTM) reported

    @virginmedia no availability to check service levels, awful system of a series of questions before you get through to report a fault, then awful hold tune, only for the call to terminate after an hour. Dreadful, dreadful customer service.

  • Ca33ieKins
    Caz (@Ca33ieKins) reported

    @virginmedia Pixelated channels! Can't watch anything at the moment. Still expected to pay bill though. Can't speak to anyone as per! Rubbish service.

    @ian_Leeds_UK @LouiseTregidgo @virginmedia Probably because its 3 hours later and we pay a fortune. Dodgy box prob gets better service and more reliable
