    @virginmedia I'm expecting a replacement set top box to replace a broken tivo. Told it will be delivered Weds. but I've had no confirmation email and not showing in my virgin app. Can anyone help

  • andburd
    Andrew Burdett (@andburd) reported from Maidenhead, England

    Hi @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?

  • woodyturts
    Alex Turton (@woodyturts) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia hey, it’s been slow going on broadband in GU14 since Tuesday.

  • pmross
    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!

  • leaver_sharon
    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

  • hoarp001
    Peter ***** (@hoarp001) reported from Fleet, England

    @virginmedia my broadband is running at 10mbps (supposed to be 200). The app has done a "scan" and it says there is a network error and check back in 24 hours. Problem is, it's still slow three days later and there appears to be no more help on offer. Now what?

  • HamiltonNashHR
    Jim Moore (@HamiltonNashHR) reported from Winnersh, England

    So @virginmedia is down again, and their 4G backup dongle has failed to take over AGAIN. In fact, it has never once failed over to 4G in any of the outages we’ve ever had. Why am I paying for this? 😡

    @virginmedia what's going on with my internet. No notification of problems!

  • CM40UK
    CM40 (@CM40UK) reported from Blackwater, England

    @virginmedia My cancellation date is already set 11th Nov 2022, as I have to give 30 days notice. You lost my business yesterday after one of your CS decided to try and change my package to make it cheaper thinking that would sort problem, he wasn’t listening to complaint!

  • AndyBarr79
    Andy Barr 🇬🇧🇪🇺 (@AndyBarr79) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Hi see first tweet in chain, I have been waiting on CS whom I called and raised a call back complaint request with before I tweeted my frustration

  • arintsie
    A Rintsie (@arintsie) reported from Marlow Bottom, England

    @virginmedia Phone call received this afternoon from your service centre but not about the complaint / when I asked about it they cut me off / email received from Resolution Team this afternoon telling me to ring your service line and have not read the complaint / total joke C-180123113

  • CarolRothy
    Carol Rothwell (@CarolRothy) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia hello. Please could you advise how on earth I get in touch with someone by phone??. I’ve spent 15 mins navigating website to try and get to a person rather than a bot. I need to report an equipment fault which isn’t service specific

  • 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.

    @virginmedia I don't know. You never answer the phone when I call you.

  • Pablocollier

    @virginmedia Sorry but no. If you can't monitor your own service provision why should I ?

  • nattytude
    Nattytude (@nattytude) reported from Fleet, England

    @virginmedia Internet is down in GU51 since yesterday. When will it be up? Can't report it online, because we have no internet for it to check with!

    Well, the customer service from @virginmedia these days is really quite remarkable. And that's not a compliment. Here's a thread... Informed them that I'm moving house, and they get it booked for Friday 3rd April. All good...

  • Gertrudemo81
    Andrea (@Gertrudemo81) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. We are having broadband issues in our area. It says fixed date 17th April. Surely that can’t be right? A week away to fix it??

  • Jd95975184
    Ian (@Jd95975184) reported

    @virginmedia Contract is up in june i will be leaving soon as possible, had new modem, 3 engineer visits which resulted in my front garden being dug up on 3 seperate occassions for new connection and wire being laid, still get flashing red light on box and intermitant signal, you never help

  • FyldesHardest
    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.

  • iadnan9
    Addy (@iadnan9) reported

    @AlloquiStrix @virginmedia 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.

  • ldp17470
    LoobyLou1970 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@ldp17470) reported

    Why is your support so appallingly bad? @virginmedia Been waiting for almost ½ hour to get to speak with someone on the phone and the chatbot on the app has just gone silent on me. My 360 box won't boot up, tried everything to fix it...1/2

  • trueblue171
    Gordy (@trueblue171) reported

    @virginmedia ready to cancel, my Internet works ok but then lags and my game or TV goes really fast then goes back normal,can you help me with this,worse when it has been raining or bad weather ?

  • janeamanda67
    Jane Samuels (@janeamanda67) reported

    @virginmedia I have already done that multiple times and there is an issue in my area, which was confirmed by customer services, but taking 10 days to rectify it is not acceptable

  • dandufton
    Daniel Dufton (@dandufton) reported

    @virginmedia My VM account has been locked out 'for security reasons' for over three weeks. I called the number given and was told it has been escalated to the techteam. Now three weeks on and I've heard nothing. Trying to chase on the phone but been on hold 25 mins. Help!

  • ShropshireMandy
    Mandy H 💙 (@ShropshireMandy) reported

    @virginmedia why is your customer relations so bad? I have spent 3-4 hours on the phone trying to get a refund after you carried on taking payments after I terminated my contract. Please get it sorted.
