    DimiD (@DimiD35089880) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia We have engineer booked for today to see what is the issue as since I upgraded never had such a bad service experience for the last 12 years with @virginmedia

  • mattrose18
    Matt Rose (@mattrose18) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia TV is an issue. broadband is not. Tests are always either cannot connect at this time or say there is nothing wrong. Don’t see how my kit in the house can one minute have speeds on +300Mb to next to nothing?

  • TheBadgerG
    Thom Gibbons (@TheBadgerG) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Yes, zero issues in area for broadband, pulled apart and reset the router numerous times. It just keeps wanting to download new settings, works for a bit and then fails. Engineer now booked for next Wednesday which is an eternity running my business from home.

    DimiD (@DimiD35089880) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia can’t even set up hub properly. 3 weeks since I upgraded my speed and I receive still the same but they keep insisting (we made changes will approve by tomorrow) REALLY!!! Is technical support think we are so stupid. Get a grip @virginmedia next stop complaints

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

    @virginmedia Worst part of it @virginmedia is the way your customer service team speaks to customers. Quite appalling and in my experience always approached on basis that the customer is wrong. It consistently bad - to be told you don’t send texts when I clearly had two texts quite insulting!

  • Flozephine
    Flo (@Flozephine) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia no broadband in RG12 for over an hour - can’t report on your service status page as it appears down? Any update gratefully received 🙏🏻

  • Pablocollier
    Paul Collier (@Pablocollier) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Patchy. And the weekends enquiry regarding possibly upgrading... Non existent service.

  • RNeacsu
    Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported from Didcot, England

    @Feesuff1 @virginmedia Having same issues on BTSport 3 HD and 4HD.

  • Rochdale_Cowboy
    Craig (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia @LudaLukeUK That webpage isn't working. Presumably because your network is down!

  • K74Marti
    Marti Jerrard - K74 (@K74Marti) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia I have followed every instruction as advised. Turned off, set, check status and even network issue in area.. it just keeps dropping out daily with no know issues. It’s as if faster broadband has actually slowed it all down! Pse sort it out

  • EmsAlice
    Ems (@EmsAlice) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia We just purchased a film from the media store and it won’t play - just is stuck at 0 minutes 😡 we’ve restarted our box but always have problems like this with catch up especially… not ideal when we’ve paid money to rent a film! Can you help at all?

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

    @virginmedia Thanks. Engineer showed up, plugged in a new Hub 3, “fixed” my BB & WiFi and, 3 hours later, it’s still not working. Can I 1) file a complaint and 2) get a guarantee that this will be fixed for once and for all.

  • AronGunningham
    Aron Gunningham (@AronGunningham) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia RG6 no service

  • tashaj1984
    Natasha Gorrie (@tashaj1984) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia I have posted but not sure how a forum post will help. Can you advise of your official escalation complaint process

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

    @Firesnapper999 @virginmedia It’s really frustrating; the third technician was brilliant, replaced everything almost like a new install and it worked great for just over a week. Now the status site says everything is good whilst a call to support says it isn’t. #Grrr

  • PhilipFurlong2
    Philip Furlong (@PhilipFurlong2) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia They say it's company policy and as it's with IT they can no longer help! 1 week and no further forward.

  • ce141974
    Caryn Sinclair (@ce141974) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia your customer service is beyond bad!! When making a complaint because I have no internet your representative desires to shout over me! I’ve been waiting 3 days!! Shocking!!!

  • MikeBiscoe1
    Mike Biscoe (@MikeBiscoe1) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia *sigh*. Been directed to this many times. Had engineers referred many times. This is a persistent issue that raises its ugly head far too frequently

  • vikingmarta89
    Marta (@vikingmarta89) reported from Reading, England

  • mattrose18

    @virginmedia Wired and yes. Seems to have stabilised for the time being. Hopefully no more issues

    @virginmedia You don't need a contact number you can clearly see my name my postcode is Nosey number 4koff and yes I WAS the account holder 9:23 AM 9:23 AM What I posted on x was A LEGAL NOTICE because you constantly marked my credit file after 30+ years as a customer, I gave you 30 days notice and you billed me for 2 months, also you conned me into believing I got a cheaper tariff if I took out an o2 simcard, then you told me o2 was nothing to do with you and I would have to contact o2, since the day the contract was taken out I HAVE NEVER used the simcard an I'm in the process of issuing a claim against virgin media to recover all the money taken from my account from o2 I have emailed the ombudsman over this. 9:31 AM 9:31 AM Oh how nice as I'm talking to you I get a threatening text you will apply charges if I don't return your crap as per terms and conditions, how about I charge you £7.50 per week for the space you rented from me ?, this conversation will be posted in its entirety

    🇬🇧🔥 FIRE is awesome 😎 (@GrahamCompton) reported

    @CompoundingISA @MartinSLewis @ao Such short sighted customer service experience. I's like dealing with Virgin Media 10 years ago. I had to tell them 2-3 times that yes, I really did want to cancel. Thankfully, I was only on hold for a few minutes.

    Cieran Smith (@Cieran_Smith98) reported

    @DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt I left them last month after 12 years, also gone to open reach (EE) the service is far superior both the hard product and the customer service.

    Maureen (@lifeisnuts123) reported

    @trapdoor456 @virginmedia Been with 4 providers so far inc Virgin and all been terrible when it comes to sorting problems. Pot luck I think. Can't wait to get away from the one I'm with now when the contract runs out.

    Absolutely no ***** given @virginmedia India and Malaysia are your only options as a customer. Poor people having to deal with vm ****** policies. FYI if you make more than one complaint about the same issue, they close the previous ones as resolved. They simply disappear.
