-
Anne McCormack (@1AnneMcCormack) reported from Billinge Chapel End, England@virginmedia I tell them to ring 999 or 0151 709 6010 if they want to report a crime. They hang up but they sound South Asian and their English is poor. I worry about other oaps being conned. Good luck chasing them.

-
Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England@virginmedia 3 x engineer visits, each time telling me there’s a blockage. Why does nobody fix it? I can’t even get through to cancel my services and get a refund for the direct debits I’ve paid when I’ve had zero service.
-
Tim Jackson (@TimmyJ1972) reported from Liverpool, England@virginmedia I haven’t seen the credit applied yet, that’s the issue. This will be the 4th time that I’ve been told it’s been corrected and to wait around 24 hours but so far this has never worked
-
murf (@JohnMurphy9172) reported from Liverpool, England@virginmedia Just managed to get hold of someone, and apparently after over 10 years of no problems I now need WiFi boosters at an extra cost to myself all of a sudden, they couldn't tell me why just trying to squeeze more money out of me
-
Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England@virginmedia They’ve been today apparently to do the repull and nothing has changed. Still no service. I won’t be paying this month as I’m not paying for nothing.

-
Chris Wright (@ChrisWAzure) reported from Liverpool, England@virginmedia The guy was the most arrogant person I've ever spoke to in CS, retentions is meant to be the end of the line, if it was my service and not my wife's 93 year old nan i'd have cancelled the contract. I asked to speak to a manager and was told "managers don't speak to customers"....
-
Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England@virginmedia I have a booster. It was sent to me last Spring because of previous problems with TV in this room.

-
Ray Waring (@RayWaring) reported from Liverpool, England@virginmedia Sorry I really don’t get it. A few hours ago I was told that your team would investigate etc. Now you’re telling you don’t have any access so I’m left to hang on with no one from VM being able to update me. Is that it?
-
Thomas Evans (@92Tevs) reported from Liverpool, England@virginmedia do you want the prize for the shittiest broadband ever or would you like to fix my internet service?

-
Jack Kelly (@realjackoh187) reported from Widnes, England@virginmedia Visit was fine replaced wifi. I was never out of Internet completely like it says only your compensation page, but it was equally as bad since my step daughter had online training to do which couldn't be done at all. My children also were not able to do homework.

Carpo (@Carpo_vp) reported from Chester, EnglandAh another day of piss poor service from @virginmedia 0 Internet connection since 6am.... Thanks Branson 😒
Virgin Media Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Pari Passu Newsletter (@PariPassu_Rx) reportedTelefónica and Liberty Global are looking at ways to bring down the £22bn debt pile at Virgin Media O2, their UK joint venture, after a sharp sell-off in the company's bonds. A roughly $925mn unsecured note fell to as low as 57 cents on the dollar this week, down from about 78 at the start of July, and even the senior secured paper slipped. The measures under discussion include cutting the expected £200mn dividend, pulling back capex, and reducing headcount.

Kate (@CallForCries) reported@virginmedia intermittent service for 24 hours.

Mark Oram (@markoram1) reportedAnd goes on more broken promises of a call to resolve , if you have the opportunity leave @virginmedia as soon as you possibly can .

Breakaway (@McCourt2010) reportedJust renewed M350 package with you; £36.00 but new customers can get the same for £28.99!! Been a loyal customer for 14 years; your call centre wouldn't budge - one even quoted £31.00 but the next person contacted said there was no record of this! Disappointed. @virginmedia
-
Nicky O'Shea (@nicky_oshea44) reported@virginmedia are not only happy to breach my data protection they will now not correspond with me the way I ask and continue to think a resolution will Come through Twitter message.

Jan Hobbs (@CleanzineEditor) reported@virginmedia been locked out of webmail since 22 May. Supposedly repaired & reset but though I can now get into my account I STILL can't access webmail. Still showing Forbidden 403 despite my tech expert working on it several hrs today. 9 WEEKS! Paying £133.50/mth. HELP PLEASE!
-
hayden willan (@Hayden_Willan) reported@virginmedia So what’s the point of the online renewal journey? Is the system designed to help customers, or just to annoy them?
-
Scouse House Bouncy Music (@ScouseBouncy) reported@virginmedia Not my account so I can speak you about it. What happens though is, you start a stream and then it corrupts, goes to a black screen and goes to a “Error code: COMPO” then closes. This is not network related, it’s not a box issue. It is an issue with authentication
-
Jan Hobbs (@CleanzineEditor) reported@virginmedia I've just sent a message & X told me there was a problem & my message would be saved. I'm hoping you receive it soon.

Kev (@victor50) reported@virginmedia if Virgin paid me £5 for every time the wifi went down, I’d be a wealthy man. I am anyway, but not quite enough to sue under the trades description act for diabolical service. Absolutely awful. The new provider can’t get in our area quick enough.
