-
Andy Barr 🇬🇧🇪🇺 (@AndyBarr79) reported from Reading, England@virginmedia I can't sign in as I no longer hold an account, your CS don't care and obviously fobbing me off and not raising complaints as requested, I will just pursue via FCA and/or trading standards.
-
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
-
Bowlesy (@Chateauneuf64) reported from Wokingham, England@virginmedia Broadband down again, 2nd week in a row. Had one day of service and stupidly canx Engineer due next day and hey presto back down we go again. 1 week wait for engineer, 1 day of BB, and now earliest slot for Engineer +1 week. Buyer beware. Typing whilst 50 mins holding with VM!
-
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.
-
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!?
-
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
-
Phil Stacey (@PhilStace20) reported from Maidenhead, England@virginmedia It about moving house. As Virgin is unavailable at the new residence and the move is only temporary I was told in two separate calls that I could ‘freeze’ my account and now it’s come to it it seems that I have to keep paying whilst not receiving any service or buy myself out!
-
Doughnut Doney (@DoughnutDoney) reported from Benson, England@virginmedia plz stop calling me asking if I want an upgrade. Been a loyal customer for over 15 yrs and its getting annoying now. Yes my phone is due for an upgrade but only when I want it. So plz when you say Im on the 'has been contacted list' stick with that 😞
-
Sharon Leaver (@leaver_sharon) reported from Bracknell, England@virginmedia Sorted now. Received an envelope last week with an adaptor. A leaflet inside stated we would receive an email when to change it. No such email received. Communication very poor
-
faye harland (@fayeharland) reported from Woolhampton, England@virginmedia hi there not sure if you can help. We’ve been trying to contact my Uncle for a few days on his landline and it’s going direct to the message service. We’re getting quite worried about him and wondered if it’s possible to see if there’s a fault on the line?

-
Andrew Burdett (@andburd) reported from Maidenhead, EnglandHi @virginmedia, I’ve spent more than an hour on the phone to your advisors this morning and am getting nowhere. I have therefore now decided I would like to cancel my contract (I am within cooling-off period). Would I still be considered a ‘new’ customer if I find a new deal?
-
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
-
Alex Turton (@woodyturts) reported from Farnborough, England@virginmedia hey, it’s been slow going on broadband in GU14 since Tuesday.
-
Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, EnglandDear @VirginMedia, after 3x visits from technicians over 6 months (one of whom LIED about fixing bb/WiFi) I’m now back to no service (48 hours). Yes, tried rebooting, off/on etc, status says everything OK, Called yesterday and there IS an issue. When are you going to fix it?
-
Phil Stacey (@PhilStace20) reported from Maidenhead, England@denman79 @virginmedia The irony is that @virginmedia are more like the Pistols -‘No point in asking you’ll get no reply’ and they seem ‘Pretty Vacant’ but ‘Never mind all that…..’ can someone please take some responsibility and ownership that seems to be sadly lacking atm
-
Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England@virginmedia Nope. There’s “nothing wrong” with the broadband according to the status page. Never is. It’s always the hub supposedly downloading updates. 10 weeks of this now, getting a bit bored of the lack of service TBH. This needs to be escalated.
-
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

Big Ape (@keithman45) reported@virginmedia @Oxford_Life Yep, same experience. Upgraded to 360, error messages, engineer fitted new box...different error messages. Called 150 Friday to be told it's be fixed remotely by 2nd line... still not working properly. . Looks like another call needed
-
MissHeadShotTV (@MsHeadshot) reported@virginmedia We want to sign up but you are saying there is already a order with this address and that you would contact us and you never did.
-
Tariq Mahmood (@tariqm786) reported@virginmedia No.. I called at 14.35 and was told I’ll be sent a text message once fixed as there is an issue in the area.
-
entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported@virginmedia Thanks for the reply @virginmedia but, frankly, these are just platitudes as usual. What is needed is action to sort the problem and accurate fix dates as opposed to the random, made up,ones I've been given so far Also, why not supply clients with MiFi solutions to help them?
-
entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported@robert_mackley @virginmedia Thanks for that. Need to do some serious thinking about whether to stay with @virginmedia at end of this contract as this experience has been very, very poor indeed. Communications have been awful (apart from one person that at least appeared to empathise). Been with them years
-
Bob Moore (@RNM1947) reported@virginmedia @Craig_A_D Had 6-7 months of issues with my Virgin Media system, still payed my monthly bill and still waiting to be compensated. Not good enough.
-
Chib Ma Nib (@chibmanib) reported@virginmedia please sort your Internet services out. Its up and down all day and now I've been without wifi for 2 whole days
-
Andy Sexton (@Andybedfordblue) reported@BigPaul91 @virginmedia Part of the reason I have just left along with shocking customer service trying to speak to people who don’t even speak English.
-
Kamran360 (@kamran360) reported@virginmedia been without Internet all day called three times and have been disconnected three times. If you can’t help me, please cancel my Services. Is this how you treat loyal customers?
