    Had a real problem with Virgin media. Was paying this month's bill when Virgin had a problem as with its auto payment service and the payment couldn't be processed. I then tried again via their website and the payment went through......

    @virginmedia I have checked and there are no faults. I am still having issues over a week later and this is totally unacceptable! Two children trying to take part of zoom lessons which they keep dipping in and out of as the connection just keeps dropping! Unable to get through to you on 150

    @virginmedia After spending 1 hour on hold, I gave up. I just want to order a booster for my broadband! Please help!

    @virginmedia I’ve sorted the issue. But now there’s no way of cancelling the engineer! Can’t get through on phone. Appointment isn’t showing on their account, so can’t cancel there. WhatsApp is useless - been waiting for an Agent to be available since about 1pm!

  • maharrison
    Mark Harrison (@maharrison) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia Ok so I need to arrange another visit I won’t be contacted? Can you see how bad this looks? Now I’ll be in London I need to arrange someone to be there to let an engineer in unless there is a smaller window

    @virginmedia what’s the point of asking me to text when I’m ready to set up the new hub if your going to deactivate the old one before I’m ready!! Good job I have unlimited data on my mobile network!!

  • hungoverdrawn
    Robert Shaw (@hungoverdrawn) reported from Wainscott, England

    @virginmedia It's started working this morning after 24 hours down, bit strange that your website said there were no service issues anywhere 😒 I guess I'll cancel that engineer visit now.

  • kelly_bingham2
    Kelly Bingham (@kelly_bingham2) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia you are an absolute shambles and that’s me being polite .... countless amounts of calls, hours on end of holding on the line and trying to resolve a very simple issue and it is STILL not resolved ..I am beyond frustrated now and will never ever use you again

  • joniread68
    Jon Read (@joniread68) reported from Great Baddow, England

    Any @virginmedia customers out there who’ve been landed a price increase - just ring them on 03454541111 and the automated service immediately offers you a £4.50 pm discount for 6 months = £27 of savings. Bit of a weird way of doing business but obvs hope many just suck it up. 👍

    Tolu (@tolu_____) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia How about just provide me a link to download the less than 10mb of pdf? Admin fee to provide a link or email a customer of over 3years? What have you offered me in return for the many times of INTERRUPTED service when I’ve had to turn to my mobile hotspot?

  • sinozza
    Simon Norris (@sinozza) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I’ve already raised a complaint. I spoke to someone in the Stage 2 complaints team who told me it’s being dealt with and, as already mentioned, a manager would call me back at 4.30 which didn’t happen. Can someone please sort this out?

  • TheSugg
    David Sugg (@TheSugg) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia hiya, another night of constant router/connection restarts and problems. Multiple engineer visits, senior engineer visits, call centre calls, new router and £160+ a month down the drain. I don’t want to switch provider but you’re not leaving me much option

    @virginmedia It was very frustrating and the caller kept saying my mum had to talk. But my mum gets confused. I was getting stressed as my mum relies on it. But it should say on my mum's account that she is elderly and has emergency calling attached to her phone.

  • AnneGBradford
    Anne Bradford (@AnneGBradford) reported

    So had a request from what was supposed to be your help care centre - but they are a scam!! @virginmedia

    Kathleen Peters (@kathleenp442) reported

    @virginmedia I've tried to watch it on my phone via the sky sports app and that didn't work either. Feeling disgruntled. You've managed to send a recent update to our virgin box but can't fix this!

    @virginmedia 23 years as a customer I have just had to cancel due to your rep being unable to offer any kind of deal remotely close to what I am currently paying for this years renewal

    @virginmedia @Smallworth_xx This came up last weekend... how hasnt it been sorted in time between? How wasnt it sorted during the summer if its an issue? Why do we pay so much money for terrible service

  • TruthAsylum121
    (Re)Search & Destroy (@TruthAsylum121) reported

    THREAD 5 — VODAFONE, BT AND THE TELECOMS NETWORK The French side is only part of the story. In Britain, telecommunications companies have developed programmes providing connectivity through charities and other organisations supporting people experiencing digital exclusion. Vodafone is one of the clearest examples. Its charities.connected programme provides participating charities with SIM cards carrying data, calls and texts. Vodafone has documented the scheme being used by organisations supporting refugees and asylum seekers. Then there is BT. This is different because it isn’t a charitable donation. In March 2024, the Home Office awarded BT a £528,000 contract for data-only SIM cards for asylum seekers. The contract was procured by the Home Office team responsible for asylum support, resettlement and non-detained accommodation. And this is only part of the corporate network. Virgin Media O2 is involved in the National Databank, Community Calling and technology-lending programmes. Three is another major National Databank connectivity partner. The technology companies aren’t operating in isolation. They connect into a much wider system. And that brings us to the National Databank.
