  • RWheelhouse1 rachel Wheelhouse 🇺🇦 (@RWheelhouse1) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia 6 days since moving to Virgin, we are having issues, the WiFi won't reach our outside cameras. After completing the troubleshooting guides + waiting for over an hour for a chat agent + 30 mins on the phone, we still haven't spoken to a human....not impressed

  • KatiePurkiss Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    After 20 years of being with @virginmedia and Telewest before that, I’ve finally decided to jump ship. Broadband has been horrendous for a couple of weeks and constant issues. 😔. #TimeforaChange

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia so after weeks of unbelievably poor broadband and customer service there was an offer from you to resolve the situation with a web chat at 11am, with a link being provided here. No link. I’m lost for words

  • 1CreativeRay Dr Stower and the Stock Market of Madness 🦍 (@1CreativeRay) reported from Wainscott, England

    @virginmedia Terrible service from you these last two weeks! I have spent more than 4hrs on the phone to Asian based O2, and Virgin call centres who never help or process things. Also Capita in South Africa… Why do you use foreign call centres if they cannot do the job!!

  • J4Y_DEE Justin 🇺🇦 (@J4Y_DEE) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia @VMHelpDesk Broadband down in my area, this is frustrating. Reckon it’ll be fixed by 9. No tv & Broadband during the school holidays

  • RERomain Rachel Romain (@RERomain) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia It has been almost 30 years since he was a new customer... 🙃

  • wonky1961 Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    I have had wifi issues since june2020now they are trying to get paid twice im 1 month. Virgin still owe me compensation. Due to Virgin's failure to keepvulnerablepeoplesafe.://www.virginmedia.com/support/help/check-services/address-identification/identify

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I raised the complaint on 14/7 and I’ve heard nothing

  • wonky1961 Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @MartinSLewis Virgin Media wifi been unstable since June 2020. Virgin Media never resolved the problem caused me to lose hundreds of £'s. Made me lose my PIP. Virgin made me pay double because they kept charging me twice most months. They've made me lose half my PC Guarantee

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) 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?

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I’ve now been told that there is no complaints team, despite the fact I spoke to them earlier. How is it possible to be so poor?

  • KatiePurkiss Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    Hey @virginmedia Parents new 360 box not working and engineer not available to come out til the 27th!!!! Not good enough! 😔

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia Actually that’s wrong, I received an email to advise that the complaint had been resolved and had to respond saying it hasn’t. What hope is there when you can’t even get a complaint right?

  • KatiePurkiss Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia They haven’t got through to anyone to cancel it yet?

  • katie_2521 Katie Williams (@katie_2521) reported from Wickford, England

    @virginmedia been struggling for days with home WiFi. Tried to contact you guys but cant find a number Please help

  • KatiePurkiss Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @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!

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I’ve spent over 2 hours on the phone and I lost count of people I’ve spoken to when I got to 12. That’s just today and this has gone on for weeks. Pretty sure you would’ve lost me as a very longstanding customer by the time 28 days is up.

  • katie_2521 Katie Williams (@katie_2521) reported from Wickford, England

    @virginmedia I had already look at this page previously. And when we have issues there is no indication on what it could be, I. E the *********** light is in as if its connected

  • wonky1961 Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia You are no longer my ISP due to your incompetence. Also there will be a lawsuit pending due to the fact I almost died from pneumonia with pulmonary oedema and sepsis later going into stage 2 respiratory failure. Your useless service is unacceptable.

  • KatiePurkiss Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    Virgin Media broadband down AGAIN. Service Status website & app don’t work as no internet connection 🤨 @virginmedia

    @virginmedia I am not interested in 'chatting to you, I want you to address a problem with your location system and my account

  • face4allseasons Sam Mulkeirins (@face4allseasons) reported

    @virginmedia Hello. Thanks for getting back to me. I have finally resolved the problem over the phone.

  • grumpybinks Grumpybinks (@grumpybinks) reported

    @virginmedia No change. App and web browsers all give the same answer. It's not exactly a new problem is it? 'The Internet' is full of your customers pointing out this is a persistent issue...

  • o0MattE0o Matthew John Earley BBC (hons) (@o0MattE0o) reported from Hillingdon, England

    @virginmedia Hi is there any way remove your "Advanced Network Error Search", it is stopping me access company related sites, if I want to search I would use #Bing or #Google. Look forward to having this removed not disabled from my account ASAP.

  • stoddy89 The Grim Tweeter (@stoddy89) reported

    @virginmedia No. I reset the TV box and it started working. It just seems to be issue after issue at the moment with VM.

  • codeminus1 Steve (@codeminus1) reported

    @virginmedia I have a ongoing complaint which hasn’t been dealt with both via mail and online support. The last 4 months. Received a call from your call centre pretending to be talking to me directly and taking security details. They stupidly left a voicemail this is a concern!

  • Joe_p_ward Joseph ward (@Joe_p_ward) reported

    @virginmedia my parents are new customers & have issues with the installation plus the service is poor. This needs resolving as the account will need to be put into dispute as they are not getting a service. Cant get through calling 150 or responding to emails.

  • mickyginn Micky Ginn (@mickyginn) reported

    @virginmedia I spent 5 days on that chat and then another 3 days. Sorry you can’t help and you’ve lost a customer as you don’t give a toss about your customers. Thanks

  • Patrick13121759 Patrick (@Patrick13121759) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, I did lose service earlier and was notified it'd be fixed by 3.30pm. However, it's back work now. Still very inconvenient since it happens so often. Regarding compensation, I lost service for the full day of 18th Nov but I don't see any compensation on my statement?
