Chris C (@a3racer) reported from Wokingham, England@virginmedia is there a fix time for the Virgin TV issue in the GU21 area? It’s been down now for over 24 hours! Will my account be credited with money that I have paid for no service?

CM40 (@CM40UK) reported from Blackwater, England@virginmedia Sadly I am not, as I have never any compensation for the lost of my connection, I lost Wi-Fi for about hour yesterday but as normal virgin media are not up holding its guarantee. I an@self-employed and the one thing I rely on is my internet connection.
-
Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England@virginmedia Thanks. Done that. Multiple times. And over the last 6 months. And when I was an ntl: customer. And CableTel before that. 27 years of 56k > 350Mb and now it’s totally doing my head in. Unable to work from home properly. Boss won’t be happy!
-
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.

Kerryn Newman (@kerrynnewman) reported from High Wycombe, England@virginmedia what's going on with my internet. No notification of problems!

Craig (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Maidenhead, EnglandTook out an @O2 account as part of some 'volt' deal with @virginmedia. My god O2 are bad. Apparently you have to wait a few months to access your account online to wait until their systems "catch up" for new joiners. Shouldn't have bothered.
-
Cameron🏴 (@CRJG_) reported from Bracknell, EnglandHuge congrats to @virginmedia for having a web chat service that is so bad that I joined the chat to upgrade my broadband, but after waiting for an eternity for replies I’m pretty much ready to just close my account
-
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?
-
Bowlesy (@Chateauneuf64) reported from Wokingham, England@virginmedia all week had total Broadband outages and down again now (past hour). Received a text from VM with link to follow (self help) and guess what, I need Internet to access! Trying to WFH just impossible. Every hour we have issues.
-
faye harland (@fayeharland) reported from Reading, England@virginmedia Hi again. Just letting you know we’ve made contact with him and all seems fine. So please can we cancel the engineer for Friday.
-
Paul Austin (@BagshotTwit) reported from Camberley, England@virginmedia I had my phone on me all day and didn’t have any missed call message. I have called numerous times and no progress. I understand you also can’t help me.
-
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
-
CM40 (@CM40UK) reported from Blackwater, England@virginmedia Yes I have on multiple occasions, I have just been taking to engineer who running the 30 day test, while taking to him I had 3 lost connection issues. Your employees are trying say that I will have to pay to leave my contract, @Ofcom state, I can leave without penalty
-
Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported from Didcot, England@virginmedia Internet keeps disconnecting. Called, useless as always. Intermittent issues or connectivity issues. Just send an engineer to check, why wait for another 24h when this is an ongoing issue. I've even reset the hub, still same issues.
-
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!?
-
CM40 (@CM40UK) reported from Blackwater, England@virginmedia No resolution has been offered by @virginmedia hence I have no cancelled my contract.

Adz (@MrAdz259) reported@virginmedia I was informed by a customer service rep, that my service would be disconnected on April 16th, after notifying on March 16th, that I had switched providers via one touch switch.
-
Kris Coates (@FyldesHardest) reported@virginmedia please train your staff to do their job and not waste two hours of my time messaging three agents only for them not to resolve an issue. I just want to cancel, it's that simple.
-
just me (@PHILROOKS) reported@virginmedia With respect I have done this, and you just come back saying you can't access my account or help as you're just the MEDIA TEAM. I'm sure you're here to just monitor the poor comments and look like you care, when you don't. Your CEO should be embarrassed and take responsibility

-
David Whiteside (@yardley_canary) reported@virginmedia are in top 3 worst companies I've ever had the misfortune to deal with. They may even be top. Rude, expensive, evasive, and unreliable. What started as a simple investigation into switching for cost reasons has now made me resolute in my decision! Disgusting!
-
John Mercer (@Merse2506) reported@virginmedia can someone please help me. I have l8ved with buffering, channel failed fir mintjs to no avail of a response for VM.
-
Addy (@iadnan9) reported@virginmedia @AlloquiStrix Reported an issue 2 months ago and only just received a response. The advice given was unhelpful, careless, and frankly unprofessional. The issue is still ongoing with Now being told it could take another 28 days for a follow-up. Completely unacceptable and a waste of time.
-
peter davis (@leamingtonpete) reported@ChrisWales61 @virginmedia I had similar, they promised me a free month when I complained, that never happened. I complained again and they said the offer had expired (huh?) I record all my calls take names and times with suppliers and on threat of ofcom/ombudsman I got my free month promised.
-
Gerbil (@f4ckiam) reportedI feel like I'm on a complaining streak but here goes: This one is for @O2 I have been a loyal customer since the switch-over of Virgin Media customers. I barely use data. So, I've been more than happy with my £9.73/month tariff. The data is unimportant. Unlimited calls/texts is
