    @virginmedia ..i don't know what manager in any way of life won't speak to a customer! I called back and spoke to another member of the team, who has logged it as a complaint, a manager is calling me today and he is looking what he can do for a 93 year old. Being forced to pay £105 a month...

    Day 42 of no service from @virginmedia. Engineer meant to be coming again today, think I’ve more chance of a unicorn showing up to be fair. 🦄

  • SmithysMaud
    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia All the while taking my direct debit payments for a service I am not getting

  • realjackoh187
    Jack Kelly (@realjackoh187) reported from Widnes, England

    @virginmedia I'm checking online and it's saying there is an issue with the TV, but saying broadband is fine. I've had constant disconnections throughout the day for 2 weeks now. It works for a few minutes then goes off. What is going on?

  • TimmyJ1972
    Tim Jackson (@TimmyJ1972) reported from Garston, England

    @virginmedia I’d love to hear from how I’m supposed to report an issue with my broadband. You can’t do it via live chat and seemingly not via the phone either as you’re “experiencing difficulties”

  • 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?

    @virginmedia The nightmare continues!!! Buffering is now a way of life for us. As is watching any programme on a streaming service in short two minute bites!

  • MarkLangshaw
    Mark Langshaw (@MarkLangshaw) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Hello, my broadband was supposed to be installed on 6th Sept but your engineer only did half a job and ****** off. When I call up to find out when you're coming back to finish my installation, I can't get a straight answer and nobody calls me back! Shite service!

  • Robertlfc_

    @virginmedia just been took out of a game of fifa, that I was winning! Because of your awful internet. Get it fixed!!

    @virginmedia your customer service team is proper shite. Your router is in the bin outside ours

    @virginmedia All internet is down, wireless and wired; the hub light is white and it’s a Hub 3.0.

  • SmithysMaud
    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.

  • DaveMbootlebuck
    DM 🦌 (@DaveMbootlebuck) reported from Litherland, England

    @virginmedia Mine has just gone down now. I can’t ring via the virgin phone because the phone is connected to the hub.

    @virginmedia @YODELhell @AndyJ78 Worst delivery company going!!! Why don’t the companies that use them do a bit of research? GREED!!!!

    @SisterWalburga I can see it from the biog. link - but I’m an EE customer rather than Sky or Virgin Media, so maybe it doesn’t count for the purpose of the question…

  • catsmum27
    Kat (@catsmum27) reported

    @Elainebks @y_alibhai @virginmedia They monitor, but the responses are purely performative as resolutions never achieved.

  • oftenFrazzled
    Kate (@oftenFrazzled) reported

    @O2 signed up 2yr sim only Fri 12/06. received msg "my new number active" but I put in a pac code to keep my old number AND the new SIM hasn't arrived yet. Also I keep getting booted out the login page now of my virgin media account. Not impressed at all. Considering cancelling

    Urban Groove (@Urban__Groove) reported

    @virginmedia I f***** HATE virgin media, i cant wait till my contract ends with you, Causing me stress by giving other 02 permission to set up a direct debit when i never instructed you too! BASTARDS! 😡

  • atcdecorating20
    AlanCarey (@atcdecorating20) reported

    Just paid again through @dazn and working fine so it’s a @virginmedia issue

  • debbierowe1

    @virginmedia Updates please? Still not working? Not been able to watch majority of this event at all! Very unhappy with service!

  • RorschachSlays
    Rorschach Slays🇸🇮🇪🇺🇬🇧 (@RorschachSlays) reported

    @RETeacher11 @virginmedia Switch to CityFibre, if you can. I finally got rid of VM after 15 years of bullshit. Price increases, shocking customer service, appalling tech support. Been with CF for 2 years now. I don't even have a reason to contact them - rock-solid and reliable 24/7.

  • DeraCalla
    dera calla (@DeraCalla) reported

    @SarahLudford @virginmedia @O2 Agreed. Customer service now so often means hours and hours trying to contact people, and going round in circles for days and weeks. Why can't we just call and speak to someone?!

  • Nichola09215766
    Nicholas (@Nichola09215766) reported

    @virginmedia Are you able to contact the staff that used to work on them because I have a long running complaint and despite forum staff having access to info nobody at 150 can help and apparently the ONLY time my problem got identified and fixed nobody can find except for forum staff.

  • Lyndzii
    Lyndzi Hamilton (@Lyndzii) reported

    @virginmedia requested delivery date and new contract start date to be 28th July. You’ve now sent a text and told my internet provider that I want to start it on 29th June which will incur me a fee. Can you fix this please?
