  • laineypb2109 Elaine Brown (@laineypb2109) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia 15% increase, don't think so mate. I'll be in touch via phone shortly with a cancellation notice. So much for long serving customer loyalty

  • TheWiganParky Laser Lux, Wigan. (@TheWiganParky) reported from Haydock, England

    @virginmedia If my bill went down with my speed, I wouldn't mind.

  • les_murray71 Lesley Murray (@les_murray71) reported from Wallasey, England

    @MarkKav15119614 @virginmedia Well my bills ain't getting paid today so will get charges, anything i try to do on apps / chrome not working, twitter on and off

  • les_murray71 Lesley Murray (@les_murray71) reported from Wallasey, England

    @virginmedia Yes got the update thanks, but not helpful receiving texts to say issue resolved, services been off for 14 hours now, any background to the issue?

  • lurkinhead Martin Travis (@lurkinhead) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia There's no point raising a complaint is there, as you won't comprnsate? Other reputable oroviders offer a back-up 4 or 5g device to kick in if their main broadband goes down, to keep the service running. Not VM though - it's just all really poor customer service innit?

  • les_murray71 Lesley Murray (@les_murray71) reported from Wallasey, England

    @virginmedia @joshyw0shy Its the whole of the Wirral by the sound of it, no statement from Virgin, just telling hundreds of customers to check for an outage, only have to look at their twitter to see how many of us have been told the same thing

  • TheWiganParky Laser Lux, Wigan. (@TheWiganParky) reported from Haydock, England

    @virginmedia It says there's no issues at the moment, but I'm only getting 13mbps.

  • cambo691 Cambo (@cambo691) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @les_murray71 @virginmedia This and their woeful customer service is why we binned them off mate

  • cbray72 Christopher Bray (@cbray72) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I think so yes there's definitely a issue of some description as it keeps happening all the time

  • 111O1O1O11O lloyd #utft (@111O1O1O11O) reported from Wallasey, England

    @virginmedia I only worked as a network Ops mgr for nearly 10 years, so I guess I wouldn't understand network issues and connectivity, really. Or service level agreements. Or teaching my grandmother how to suck eggs.

  • Duddydudson Kevin Dudson (@Duddydudson) reported from Wigan, England

    @NigelJTurner @virginmedia Same for me, I can cancel or change my package by the 28th of march then get a 19% increase on my new package on the 1st of April. Only had my contract 5 months.being **** Turpind here!!!

  • lurkinhead Martin Travis (@lurkinhead) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia Okay, but with respect, the problem is your call centre say different stuff every time, which inevitably bears no resemblance to reality. Later, VM deny those conversations ever took place and there is no written evidence to back up what was agreed. That's what I am after here?

  • 111O1O1O11O lloyd #utft (@111O1O1O11O) reported from Wallasey, England

    No service in CH44 for 2 days last week, back on for 2, then off again today. No text updates but service status says a fix by 20.00. Won't happen though will it? @virginmedia

  • les_murray71 Lesley Murray (@les_murray71) reported from Wallasey, England

    @virginmedia Thats just an update to say they are dealing with the issue, people want to know what the issue was and why it is taking so long to repair, there is a continuous extension to repair time and your customers at least deserve detailed information

  • lurkinhead Martin Travis (@lurkinhead) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @les_murray71 @virginmedia Still saying 12.05 on the app Lesley .... have they put that new estimated fix time out elsewhere? 😱

  • lurkinhead Martin Travis (@lurkinhead) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @BlaggerBly @virginmedia Seems to be Wirral wide at least, and I think Liverpool is affected too. VM should be massively compensating their affected customers for this, but they hide behind their terms and conditions where they only deem it reasonable to compensate if the outage last more than 3 days!

  • les_murray71 Lesley Murray (@les_murray71) reported from Wallasey, England

    @virginmedia Yes got the update thanks but not helpful receiving a text to say issue resolved, service has been off for 14 hours now, any background to reason why? Its a massive area to be out with no explanation

  • andrewjmcgill Andy McGill (@andrewjmcgill) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia I have been without broadband all day, a day after you sent me a letter about price increases, an increase for what, even poorer service!!!!

  • laineypb2109 Elaine Brown (@laineypb2109) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia sort your **** out. No service at all since half 8 last night. Wirral CH41 area

  • BLTwitchy Berni Turner 🖤🌹 (@BLTwitchy) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia No I’m not an idiot it was during covid I’ll go back and find it . The chief execs office rang me personally as I’m disabled

  • 1Parz Andy Parslow - P6 (@1Parz) reported

    @virginmedia Yep that’s great…it’s totalled £184 credit which should have been applied in July/Aug…issue is it’s hasn’t been used repeatedly for the last 4 months. We have been fined and cut off numerous times now and even though the credits on the account I have to pay to be re-activated

  • smj1967 stephen johnston (@smj1967) reported

    @virginmedia to resolve my issue. Why? Is it policy? Virgin are a massive company, but customer care seems to be pretty low on their agenda.

  • sajspain Sarah Spain (@sajspain) reported

    @virginmedia An explanation of some sort rather than “it’s a complex issue “ would be something. Day 3 and no Phone Tv or internet. Great weekend to look forward to 😡

  • DylanGauci03 Dylan (@DylanGauci03) reported

    @Branzoh_ @virginmedia @BT Bt are just as bad; my wifis been down for 1/2 the day

  • JMMatchett James Matchett (@JMMatchett) reported

    @virginmedia Having some severe issues with the download speed from #Steam, despite being on the 500mb/s plan, I'm only getting 2MB/S from steam regardless of location. I have perfect download speeds from any other service, is steam being throttled? Any advice?

  • DanBartlett83 Daniel Bartlett (@DanBartlett83) reported

    @virginmedia hi Can u please help I don’t know why I have been sent a bill for £0.18p when I cancelled my contract in September and I thought I had settled my bill.

  • NewstalkFM NewstalkFM (@NewstalkFM) reported

    On this week's Tech Talk with @JessKellyNT: Paul Higgins of Virgin Media about upgrading their network to fibre. Rory Scott, CEO of DropChef explains how the service works and Raluca Saceanu previews next year's Zero Day Con. With thanks to @onesonicaudio

  • smj1967 stephen johnston (@smj1967) reported

    @virginmedia I raised a complaint on Monday and was told by customer services that I would get a follow up in between 2 and 24 hours. Guess what? Not a peep. I don't know whether it's incompetence or what but I've been fed lie after lie and no one has shown either the interest or inclination
