    @virginmedia Hi, the VMGo app is telling me I need to upgrade to watch live tv but I’ve got the right package to have access and have until today watched live via the app. Is there an issue? Tried restarting it etc.

  • WhiskyOneIce Mark 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@WhiskyOneIce) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia It's okay I've taken it up with CEDR now and let them resolve it, I'm just highlighting to people how difficult it is to cancel contracts and the fact that VM consistently "loose" letters

  • wonky1961 Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @MartinSLewis Virgin Media wifi been unstable since June 2020. Virgin Media never resolved the problem caused me to lose hundreds of £'s. Made me lose my PIP. Virgin made me pay double because they kept charging me twice most months. They've made me lose half my PC Guarantee

  • Andrew007Uk Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Andrew007Uk) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia Though I am dyslexic I have painstakingly done this on multiple devices and have photos to show It - not posting them publicly but it does not recognise that password 😢 A search on line suggests the problem is not unique. I have one hour to call the manufacturer if you advice.

  • WhiskyOneIce Mark 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@WhiskyOneIce) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia Yes I have chased and chased and spent 4 hours today on WhatsApp, no advise just can't help because I have outstanding bill....no the line isn't active because it was ported over to Community Fibre on 8th July

  • wonky1961 Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia You are no longer my ISP due to your incompetence. Also there will be a lawsuit pending due to the fact I almost died from pneumonia with pulmonary oedema and sepsis later going into stage 2 respiratory failure. Your useless service is unacceptable.

  • JosephS65112253 Joseph Sweeney (@JosephS65112253) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia I’m going into my 5 week of problems with this crap company they say they will investigate but nothing, no compensation nothing.

  • WhiskyOneIce Mark 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@WhiskyOneIce) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia Obviously i don't have proof because your site doesn't say send recorded so why would i, my number was ported in July and I wrote same time, I have no reason to not send letter and you can see from any data usage that I stopped using your service

  • WhiskyOneIce Mark 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@WhiskyOneIce) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    Be careful if you ever want to cancel a @virginmedia account, I wrote to them, twice as per their T&C because you can never get through on chat or phone, they deny receipt of letters because you cant send recorded delivery so they just keep sending bills and chasing payments

  • Andrew007Uk Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Andrew007Uk) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia John - lights are on but the external fault has already been established. It is a contractor that has to deal with the issue - one claimed to have done it but it failed to work - now you contractor is failing to respond to requests by your colleagues 4 updates on a new commission

  • Matty411 Matt Frow (@Matty411) reported from Corringham, England

    @virginmedia I hope you can help me. When I try to watch TV on virgin tv go,but it come up something went wrong error comes up (even if I use another account). I hope you can help me.

  • Andrew007Uk Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Andrew007Uk) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @PaulWelsh_UK @virginmedia There is no service. 26 November reported - 6th March earliest date for works. I was past to no less than 6 different teams before finally getting somewhere and then being cut off. Anyway welcome home my friend - hope you have more luck than me!

  • drummerJ83 Jay Bourley (@drummerJ83) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia Hi. Have no wifi (green light) and despite rebooting several times have a had no luck. This has happened after following your instruction to reboot for ‘faster speed’. Please advise asap - no issues in the area according to your website.

  • Andrew007Uk Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Andrew007Uk) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    After a mammoth session on the phone to 6 of your departments to arrange interim broadband given your service failed in Nov. & won't be fixed to March I spoke to a helpful chap called David in the Customer Care Dept before I was cut off. Can you help reconnect me @virginmedia 🙏🏻

  • cboxot C Borrill-Bromige (@cboxot) reported from Rochester, England

  • eviemae239 Ben Rogers (@eviemae239) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia wi-fi down yet again for about the 5th time this week. Constantly going down over last few weeks as well, absolute shambles.

  • wonky1961 Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    I have had wifi issues since june2020now they are trying to get paid twice im 1 month. Virgin still owe me compensation. Due to Virgin's failure to keepvulnerablepeoplesafe.://www.virginmedia.com/support/help/check-services/address-identification/identify

  • NickMillerUK Nick Miller 🇺🇦 (@NickMillerUK) reported from South Ockendon, England

    @virginmedia somehow you have reset my Dad’s Virgin media box, LAN seems to be off and the wifi on it is back on. This is rubbish because we have network setup there with much better hardware than your box. Now none of it works and I am hundreds of miles from his house. Why?

  • NickMillerUK Nick Miller 🇺🇦 (@NickMillerUK) reported from South Ockendon, England

    @virginmedia It’s everything downstream of the LAN ports, so wifi on the box is on and working but all his wired network is offline. I have asked him to check all the cabling to make sure it’s all connected.

    @virginmedia I didn't have the app, that works fine, it's your website reCAPTCHA account that's not working

  • ReallyZeroG ReallyZeroG (@ReallyZeroG) reported

    @virginmedia I have a wired connection into the hub. That connection is what all tests are done on and the speed fluctuates Fromm 500mbps to 30 Mbps down and "usually remain at 30 Mbps up. Of course because I am testing from a wired connection it is effecting both wired and WiFi.

  • Claire_pharrell Claire Farrell (@Claire_pharrell) reported

    @virginmedia hi, what’s the best way to get my contract name and email updated? Your team took my details down wrong (claira instead of Claire)so I can’t link my o2 account to virgin. I updated my name details when I first joined but I think the contract is what needs updating?

  • AndrewM82215124 Andrew (@AndrewM82215124) reported

    @virginmedia Can I cancel my direct debit if I'm on a monthly rolling contract. What would be the repercussions, if any?

  • chicagini Ginika Chika (@chicagini) reported

    @virginmedia Just so you know, i have called the numbers and can't get any further with the team still insisting on charging me early termination even with a new replacement customer waiting to sign up! I thus wonder what the charge covers?

  • BeausNanny Belles & Beaus Nanny Agency (@BeausNanny) reported

    @virginmedia having had flooring damaged during installation of VM services in August 2020, we are still waiting for said damage to be rectified. Do not join Virgin Media if you want a harmonious life. Their customer service is appalling beyond measure

  • dishoneste dishoneste (@dishoneste) reported

    @virginmedia Yes both,its on you,I've tried constantly,I'm in talks with another supplier as I've been with you 2 years now and hate the customer service from this company

  • MrMohtas Tom Sturge (@MrMohtas) reported

    @virginmedia Too slow, gone with @Plusnet instead

  • karliwilky84 Karli Wilkinson (@karliwilky84) reported

    Been trying to pay a @virginmedia bill for a week now, their quick pay service is down and you need a PhD to navigate their website! Meanwhile, I get an email saying there will be a late payment charge. Anybody recommend another provider?

  • flint_writes Emma Flint #WearAMask 💙 (@flint_writes) reported

    @virginmedia This isn’t even including: 1. The agent on the phone who shouted at me and interrupted when I tried to speak 2. The complaint that was closed without my knowledge or consent 3. The agent who added incorrect information to my account, and the second agent who told me…
