-
Howard Martin 💚 (@HJMKent) reported from Kidderminster, England@virginmedia Can you please explain why, when I renewed my package in March you reduced my last invoiced bill to reflect the change & took by DD what you said you would! Now you say you will suspend my service because I underpaid? You took what you wanted!
-
Beard Punk (@BeardPunk) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia Rebooted several times. Wi-Fi works fine, it’s just the VPN. Automated message says there’s still an issue.
-
Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia Yes I’ve done that. My connection drops out for a minute or so every 30-60 mins. Hard to replicate. My account has notes regarding the reason why the credit was given last time. Ideally I don’t want to wait so long for the same issue to be fixed.
-
iamscorchy (@iamscorchy) reported from Wednesfield, England@virginmedia Experiencing issues in your area there is a technician in the area but still doesn't explain why my routers fans go really loud and disconnected from everything I have to keep resetting to get it back to normal then on top get "issues in my area" like always

MJP - mastodonapp.uk/@mrmjprice (@mrmjprice) reported from Birmingham, England@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.

👑 NG Football 👑 (@Bigdeano88) reportedAnyone else watching Sky Sports News on Virgin Media channel 509 having problems? The picture is flickering/bouncing and the text at the bottom is really blurry. Every other channel, including the other Sky Sports channels, is absolutely fine. Anyone else getting this? @virginmedia
-
Robert Grieve (@robert_grieve) reportedTrying to upgrade my TV package with @virginmedia yet can’t get through to speak to someone. Gave up after being on hold for an hour. Appalling customer experience 🤯📺
-
For Hod,for Harry,for England & St george (@CoulsdonTHFC) reported@virginmedia over a month with broadband issues, still not rectified after being told intermittent service, engineer visit & new router. Now intermittent service AGAIN .Quick enough to raise prices but not fix problems. Still no compensation either. NOT HAPPY 😡
-
dharmi04 (@Dharmi04) reported@virginmedia hi I have a problem with my broadband
-
Martin Whelan (@mairtinofaolain) reported@PaulOBrienKil @VirginMediaNews @VirginMediaIE Currently swapping to Digiweb for broadband. Customer service seems to be their thing. A sales rep from Eir annoyed me with his pushiness, and Virgin Media ain't that great a price anymore
-
Paul Green (@pgreen83) reported@virginmedia I have sent another private message. 3 weeks non stop of having issues with virgin. When is everything going to work? I pay £120 a month for something that I cannot use.
-
Seren 7 (@Seren_7) reported@virginmedia your online chat to us hasn’t worked for over 6 weeks. I have only been able to cancel today after being on a 1 hour call. Please advise when my account will be credited?
-
Stephen Maddock (@stephenm68) reportedDay 35 of absolutely no services from @virginmedia and no useful information about when/if the outage in our area will ever get fixed. Let’s hope that @guardian Consumer Champions will look into this - I’ve just written to them. @Ofcom
-
John 🏴🇬🇧 (@John_Of_Eng) reported@virginmedia your app and customer service are absolutely dreadful. I only want to change a direct debit date for Christs sake.
-
Our Electric World (@O_E_W) reported@TheEvEngineer @gigaclear @MartinSLewis I used to get the same with Virgin Media when it was our only option. Simple solution is to swap and change to the cheaper deals. I got an Orbi mesh router a while back. It should help simplify our next swap as it keeps the same network name whatever company we’re with.
