  • 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 Just called your offshore call centre regarding my internet connection. I’m having the same issues as I had when I got a £154 credit from you. /1

    @Damien_Clyburn @virginmedia They're appalling. I've had business version for 10 years. BT never miss a beat. Outstanding. Get rid of them.

    @virginmedia @YodelOnline your ability to deliver equipment is shocking!!! The customer service you provide is even worse!!!

  • 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

  • laticwolf
    Alex (@laticwolf) reported from Bradmore, England

    @virginmedia good work 👏🏼 issues with WiFi being down constantly as soon as £7.50 monthly bill increases comes in! Currently on hour 5 of no internet and not due to be fixed before 1am 🙃

    Ahh @virginmedia, less than a month into your Broadband Internet and the service is down. You hope to "restore it by 10.08pm" 😡😡😡 What. The. Actual. F!! 4 years with a previous provider and this never happened.

    The Yellow Head (@marcwalby) reported

    @IainSankey @virginmedia Interesting, this was going to be my move in October. I have never used the phone line and we don't watch any of the Virgin TV stuff. Was it really that hard to get just Broadband?

  • SamReesO
    Sam Rees (@SamReesO) reported

    @virginmedia @eirwenjulia Perhaps… refund the downtime and fix it? That would be super helpful..

    @IainSankey @virginmedia Best opinion is to swop When you tell them you are leaving the price miraculously goes down

  • LiamBolger7
    Liam Bolger (@LiamBolger7) reported

    @virginmedia @Smallworth_xx @virginmedia state on the MyVirginMedia up service page that they are working on it as quickly as possible and the estimated fix is by 11:08am on 28th August. Even if that was a typo the 18th would have been comical as it was. £108 per month + the right to add in year increase!!!

  • JJools67

    @virginmedia I have just spent over 1hr20mins on the phone trying to sort out my mothers virgin account she has dementia person I finally spoke to (after 3 other depts) put me on hold & we got cut off. He hasn’t bothered to call me back despite having my number! Dreadful service!

  • __neerihs

    I had no service on my Virgin Media for a weekend. So now I’m getting credited £30 😌

  • LiamBolger7
    Liam Bolger (@LiamBolger7) reported

    @virginmedia @CliveR39 I still think it is not a technical issue but some sort of contractual issue between Sky and Virgin. Next step will be ‘technical issue’ logging on to Sky sports as a VM customer.

    @virginmedia @alexand979677 BTW, it is an absolute farce that o can’t sign in to check my bills unless I get another email address that isn’t a virgin one. Who thought that one out?
