Becky Morrish (@BeckyMorrish13) reported from Camberley, EnglandUseless service from @virginmedia called 2 discuss package options on hold for ages the agent says he was trying to help them puts me on hold then put the phone down. If their customer service is like that I think I’ll try give someone else a go @skytv can you do better?
-
CM40 (@CM40UK) reported from Blackwater, England@virginmedia No resolution has been offered by @virginmedia hence I have no cancelled my contract.
-
Phil Stacey (@PhilStace20) reported from Maidenhead, EnglandHey @virginmedia I forgot how awful you were when it came to anything other than collecting my direct debit. Apparently you don’t have a complaints dept, genius, and after 4 calls to you today totally around three hours, you cut two of them off during the musical interlude!
-
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.
-
6thdr (@6thDr) reported from Wokingham, EnglandToday I finally changed my phone. Goodbye #virginmedia #virginmobile never again shall I have such awful customer service service.
-
Tom (@Tom38971529) reported from Wokingham, England@virginmedia Well I would speak to a member of the team but always get the call cut short and I ask for a call back if the line goes dead. Twice yesterday ot happend Nd never got a phone call back
-
Tim Bourne (@TimSBourne) reported from Wokingham, England@virginmedia I'm sick of explaining this again & again - see previous tweets & msgs to VM. It isn't even noted - yesterday 2nd line support looked at my ticket & said I'm "not receiving any emails" NO NO NO! Just emails with etickets attached, even tho get non ticket emails from same sources
-
Daniel Evans (@ChavdogEvans) reported from Farnborough, England@virginmedia my wifi seem to keep dropping out is there issues with it at the moment
-
Craig (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Maidenhead, England@virginmedia @elise_john85 So you're whacking up Elsie's cost because you have more customers (who are presumably also paying you) using the service, and you want to use Elsie extra £4.50 / month so you can invest in services that attract even more customers?!? Get in the bin!

Haider Al-Rekabi 🏴☠️ (@HaiderAlRekabi) reported from Reading, England@virginmedia There is no problem in my area. My problem is specific to my account.

derrick mulvana (@nenevall) reported from Reading, England@virginmedia @OfficialRandL reading festival, the virgin media mobile network is on its knees with no internet connection across most of the site.. sort it out.
-
gonzo (@pears0) reported from Camberley, England@virginmedia so, I've been trying for over 3 hours now to cancel my contract and absolutely no progress made so far!!! 3 hours. Surely this is a breach of ofcoms rules to make cancellation a reasonably quick and easy process!?
-
Bowlesy (@Chateauneuf64) reported from Wokingham, England@virginmedia OK guys, could you ask your team behind the scenes to turn my BB signal up just a tad, you know, enough so it actually works? As your putting your prices up would be great to experience what I'm actually paying for now! Thanks
-
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?
-
Nicky Booty (@nickybootyy) reported from Reading, England@virginmedia when will the problems in rg1 be resolved?
-
Craig (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Reading, England@virginmedia @LudaLukeUK That webpage isn't working. Presumably because your network is down!
-
Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England@virginmedia Yep. Wired isn’t working either. I have no broadband, no WiFi, no service. Been like this since Saturday and intermittent since Jan/Feb.
-
Paul Collier (@Pablocollier) reported from Wokingham, England@virginmedia Sorry but no. If you can't monitor your own service provision why should I ?
-

andrea stevenson (@AngeStevenson) reported@virginmedia hi! I keep getting a message saying to upgrade my virgin box to get sky Atlantic - is it easy to install myself, is it a case of using the same wires as my existing box so a quick change over? Also my internet is often very poor, I assume this won’t affect the box?

Spamhaus (@spamhaus) reported@orange 151.217.0.0/16 AS62016 AS198198 AS42987 AS22879 AS199524 AS62016: Virgin Media 🇬🇧 AS198198: Telefonica Global Solutions 🇪🇸 AS42987: Virgin Media 🇬🇧 AS22879: Sirus, Inc 🇺🇸 AS199524: Gcore 🇳🇱 Location is Chicago. However, this case is slightly different. 151.217.0.0/16 is a "bogon", which means the network is not assigned to anyone at this time (and so nobody should be using it). After the first announcement, new (presumably fake) carriers were inserted into the BGP path as a decoy. The general modus operandi suggests that this is the same gang in action
