  • pmross Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Oh... no, it’s down again. Nope, it’s back. Oh... and again, no BB. Wait, back on. Hurrah. Oh, no, back, nope, gone... There’s something seriously wrong with your service. Dead for 36 hours, back and now intermittent... in the middle of the night too! Who can fix this?

  • LordConnaught John Mitchell (@LordConnaught) reported from Reading, England

    Day 4 of trying to get hold of @virginmedia technical support. Quite incredibly I just got a phone call from their marketing team trying to offer me deals. I said I didn't want any deals, I just want my Tivo box replaced as its broken. The woman hung up on me. Disgraceful.

  • join_the_Que quentin gunderson (@join_the_Que) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia is almost harder to leave than the EU! 3 days, 5 calls (4 hang ups!) Several wasted hours online.

  • pmross Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    @sniveldirk @virginmedia Also it’s not reliable broadband. I’m suffering day 15 of anything but the 350MB connection I paid for. Right now it’s dead again. The lack of service forced me to have to work from an office today (again!) How unsafe is that?

  • flyingjok John Neilson (@flyingjok) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia Still no landline service to home and neighbour similarly. It’s been close on 24hrs - pretty irritated that there is no information coming proactively from your team to be honest but appreciate the social team’s responsiveness to my contact

  • adimarlow Adrienne (@adimarlow) reported from Camberley, England

    Switched to @virginmedia broadband in Nov ‘20 and agreed to pay more per month than I was paying before just to get reliable broadband. Now I find myself never using the Wi-Fi at home and the kids having to use my phone data to complete school lessons and work as it is SO BAD 😡

  • flyingjok John Neilson (@flyingjok) reported from Camberley, England

    @ralphyallen @virginmedia Let’s see how long it takes @virginmedia to respond or put something out proactively. I’m trying to call the 0345 customer service number as well as 150 but having no joy getting through.

  • LordConnaught John Mitchell (@LordConnaught) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia day three of sitting listening to your hold music unable to speak to anyone. My Tivo has gone pop. Any chance you can help please?

  • naston23 Neil Aston (@naston23) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @virginmedia Why has it been so difficult to cancel. When I ring up your helpline why does the person who answer have no idea what they’re doing?!

  • flyingjok John Neilson (@flyingjok) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia hey there - lost all connectivity at home suddenly this morning and can’t get through to any of your helpline numbers. Is there problem in GU15 3HY area. Can’t understand why 150 and external numbers are either not connecting or just showing as constantly unavailable

  • pmross Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    @SinghT2j @virginmedia It’s been down a good 3 days in the last 14 here. Otherwise it’s either slow or randomly intermittent. They really need to sort their network out, it was never this bad until 2 weeks ago.

  • pmross Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Hi AR, I was given no time at all, only that there were ongoing issues the last two weeks then he said 7-10 days. He said you were working on it, it would be fixed but no timescale. 15 days of unreliable BB is awful. Have had 100% outages of up to 36 hours.

  • flyingjok John Neilson (@flyingjok) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia Your web site is not very helpful really - apparently the fault will be rectified by 08.40 this morning. Understand technical problems arise but it’s surely much better to provide proactive updates rather than to react in receipt of complaints?

  • pmross Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    Aargh. @VirginMedia broadband is down again, 20 mins here in GU14. That’s 13 days of poor service. I’m trying to WFH and daughter’s trying to do her homework online. This is infuriating.

  • naston23 Neil Aston (@naston23) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @virginmedia I’ve called twice now to cancel and was very specific the 2nd saying, and then sent me a £5 voucher. So why would I waste my time calling them a 3rd time? Everyone I’ve spoken to has been useless and unhelpful 755136803 Here’s my account number, can you cancel it please

  • naston23 Neil Aston (@naston23) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @virginmedia But they don’t cancel when I ring up so why would I waste my time doing that. I’m not spending another hour on the phone to achieve nothing again.

  • flyingjok John Neilson (@flyingjok) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for getting the internet sorted but any reason why there is still no phone service or any information to explain?

  • BobBeveridge1 Bob Beveridge (@BobBeveridge1) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Very poor service today - internet cut out at least three times, during separate on-line meetings -once at 9.50, once late morning, once mid afternoon. What was going wrong ? RG4 Area31

  • pmross Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Called yesterday PM: engineer tested the line, said there were network issues despite status page saying to the contrary. Was told you were fixing the issue but today is day 15 and no BB since ~15:30 yesterday. I have to go to the office, no choice. Poor/no BB = risk my health 🙁

  • pmross Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Hi, yep. It’s been poor for over 4 days and non-existent for nearly 36 hours. Yes, I’ve checked BB status, it’s supposedly OK, yes I’ve rebooted, yes I’ve factory reset, multiple times. Still no BB. Still have to go to office, no choice unfortunately. No BB = Big health risk🙁

    @virginmedia It drops really low and then sumtime a cuts out, we’ve had loads off problems with it the last couple off weeks

  • grimsbymike Mike Day (@grimsbymike) reported

    @virginmedia Can you ask Hetty to call me again please as the complaint is still not resolved. Spoke to someone yesterday who said he would explain to a colleague and they would sort. When I was put through the colleague (after 15 mins) had no idea and then cut me off.

  • Sleepyparadise Helen T (@Sleepyparadise) reported

    @virginmedia No just that there has been an issue since February 10th at our local box but that is not what is affecting me. They did not install my internet correctly and now they won't fix it.

  • Disgusted_TW James M Isted (@Disgusted_TW) reported

    @virginmedia without a doubt the worst call centre I've ever had the misfortune of having to deal with :(

  • jamescohu James Cohu (@jamescohu) reported

    @Mr_Saurabh_Rana @virginmedia They’re literally copy and pasting answers now aren’t they? Possibly the worst customer service I’ve seen from a big company, this entire feed is a joke

  • Marty03724137 Marty (@Marty03724137) reported

    @virginmedia please help , I want to end my contract with Virgin and my contract is out next month . Why is it so stressfully hard to do ! For a communications company you are a disgrace

  • simonecas Simone Castello (@simonecas) reported

    .@virginmedia How can I email a query/complaint? Chat bot is driving me crazy.

  • PhilSkelly67 Phil Skelton (@PhilSkelly67) reported

    Now unable to sign in to @virginmedia at all, how convenient that nobody can sign in to register a loss of service complaint. TV, Broadband and landline been down since 9am this morning. When I could sign in the expected "fix time" was 7.45 pm, again very convenient.

  • CarlDooley Carl (@CarlDooley) reported

    @virginmedia So I have a contracted start date. You can’t meet it and your only solution is to leave your customer with nothing? No consideration to the current pandemic with people working from home and their livelihoods? Extremely, extremely poor. @Ofcom @Schuelel

  • Sanj99083115 Sanj (@Sanj99083115) reported

    @virginmedia It doesn't connect. The hotspots are displayed, and tells you that it will automatically connect when it's near one. It doesn't matter how close I am it doesn't connect. However, looking at the Wi-Fi network list, a virgin media network is visable, and within range.
