    @virginmedia No I haven't. Even the service status page is down on the website. :( the phone lines tell me you are working on it, which is fabby but would be good to know what the issue is and how serious I suppose. Thanks for coming back to me so quickly though. :)

    The whole house was just woken up by @virginmedia who decided to make a sales call at 7:45am this morning. So much for a peaceful lie in. I panicked when someone called so early on a Saturday morning, I thought it must be a family emergency. Thanks @VirginMediaCorp!

    @virginmedia Finally we did. Took 2 days of texting. Not the best service.

    @virginmedia Sorry you’ve just asked me if I’ve contacted your customer support team . How about you read the thread , yes over 5 hrs on the phone

  • BrianCobbold2
    Brian Cobbold (@BrianCobbold2) reported from Bicester, England

    @virginmedia Their understanding of the English Language was so poor, they offered me a discount that was £10 a month more than now. That was without getting any up to date equipment.

    Amanda Davies (@AmandaD00131015) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    @virginmedia @libertyglobal I refuse to ring again at a charge to myself, I was told a member of yr complaints team would call me. Your customer service is absolutely terrible

  • StuPCrook
    Stuart Crook (@StuPCrook) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    @virginmedia Finally got through to your helpline! Went through the same things the online help said and finally told local issue! Still no boosters available and I have to ring you apparently to check when they are back in stock!!! You can’t ring me to tell Me he said??#poorcustomerservice

  • diddywatts
    Chris Watts (@diddywatts) reported from Witney, England

    @virginmedia It was changed by your team trying to compete with sky but could not match the like for like with sky so asked to be left as was till my notice period was up. Virgin have made this a very difficult transition and treated a loyal customer with utter contempt

  • KatieFellows1
    Katharine Fellows (@KatieFellows1) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    @virginmedia Yep just checked our postcode and an issue has been flagged- hoping resolved soon!

  • manwithfishhead
    Manwithfishhead (@manwithfishhead) reported from Abingdon, England

    @virginmedia Any idea when the broadband issue for ox145 will be fixed. When I ring 150 I get no actual update, just that you are working on it. I work from home and rely on this. Ta. :)

  • a1_nos
    A1NOS (@a1_nos) reported from Abingdon, England

    @CloopR @virginmedia Just horrid. I had the same problem with Vodafone. In the end the only way I resolved it was a good friend was golfing buddies with the CEO otherwise I don’t think I’d have sorted it.

  • SmithRodwsmith1
    Rodney Smith (@SmithRodwsmith1) reported from Cumnor, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I got through & they ran some tests & everything was fine(:-) but it was suggested that maybe there is some Network maintenance somewhere & that when it’s completed the Top Green Flashing light on the Router will go back to normal🤞🙏👍

  • AmandaD00131015
    Amanda Davies (@AmandaD00131015) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    @virginmedia Then why did the call handler say 48 hours.? 28 days is unacceptable & no one has contacted me to find out details, so how can they resolve my issue?!?

    THREAD 8 — THE DEVICES Connectivity is only useful if people have something to connect. This takes us to Solidaritech in Bradford. The organisation was established in 2017 to refurbish unwanted technology and provide it to refugees and asylum seekers. It works with laptops, desktops, tablets and smartphones. The cumulative figure is now more than 5,000 devices since 2017. But that isn’t simply historical. Solidaritech is still operating. In 2025, Bechtle partnered with Solidaritech to repurpose 857 devices, including phones, laptops, PCs and tablets, which were donated to asylum seekers and refugees. Then there is Migrant Help. Through Community Calling, smartphones and free data have been provided specifically for asylum seekers and survivors of trafficking and modern slavery. Virgin Media O2 reported that Migrant Help had received 1,250 devices and free data, with a further 5,000 devices planned. Screen Share UK also received funding to provide devices, connectivity and repair training to refugees and asylum seekers. Its trainees then repaired and redistributed devices to other refugees. The device itself has therefore become part of an ongoing system. Technology is collected. It is refurbished. It is connected. It is distributed. And sometimes the recipient is taught how to repair the next device.

    @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 Bet it wouldn’t take this long to fix if it was affecting premier league teams.

    @KevvyJ63 @SkySports @virginmedia We were sent an engineer on Wednesday by error but it’s a known outage on skys end and he reckons sky won’t be quick to fix! You can log in online and watch all the games.

  • ScouseBouncy
    Scouse House Bouncy Music (@ScouseBouncy) reported

    Oh and the issue is an authentication issue between @virginmedia and @skytv but virgin say it’s nothing to do with that, and that you need to use a stream box for it! Well 3 stream boxes are all failing to show anything on the red button!
