  • mickthenorth
    Michael North (@mickthenorth) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    @virginmedia I’ve just got home from work, after leaving home at 7.20 this morning so destined never to have the problem solved. Perhaps I should cancel my direct debit, that way I will have contact in no time!

  • roxanneselby
    Roxanne Selby (@roxanneselby) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    @virginmedia It says no known issues but there plainly are as we have no internet

  • 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

    Amanda Davies (@AmandaD00131015) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    @virginmedia Yes I have logged a complaint and have 2 reference numbers. No my house is 25 years old, not a new build

    Melisa Soto (@Melyclassy) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    @sandraHandscom1 @Bates_No1 @virginmedia I am on the same, worst customer experience ever. It is impossible to get on hold on the phone, they webpage is limited on options to cancel their service. #neveragain

  • travellingbex
    Bex Allen (@travellingbex) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    4yrs with @virginmedia never had a problem. But now that I do their 'customer service' sucks, endless cycles of talking to bots on their website, or being on hold for hours on the phone! 3 days of this just trying to get the Internet I'm paying for! #frustrated #virginmedia

    So @virginmedia seems to have gone down across the whole country simultaneously. Will be interesting to see what the root cause is.

  • Adamox2020

    @virginmedia your service needs improvement ASAP. Shocking how many times it goes on and off throughout the day.

  • poolshark1972
    Chris Chapman (@poolshark1972) reported from Witney, England

    @virginmedia @Virgin just been treated like a thick criminal by your customer service team, all because your website has locked me out and won't let me re-register. You should be ashamed.

  • kirkknowles121
    Kirk (@kirkknowles121) reported from Witney, England

    @virginmedia I have…..went down at 9:26 this morning & latest estimate for fix is 15:30 tomorrow. Really not good enough, will give @skytv the business.

  • 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

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

    @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. :)

  • poolshark1972
    Chris Chapman (@poolshark1972) reported from Witney, England

    @virginmedia Mobile. They re-set the account and told me I had to wait an hour before I could try again. When I asked why I was treated like I was stupid.

  • Brimson1
    David Brimson (@Brimson1) reported from Yarnton, England

    @virginmedia TV froze during Netflix. Apparently all services are down. TV, home phone and Broadband. Please check phone connection on our home phone. Only my mobile connection with 4g works. Are you able to update which areas are down? We are OX5 area.

  • mickthenorth
    Michael North (@mickthenorth) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your message and offer to go on this web chat. Just tried and your closed, so this doesn’t help either!! My friend who lives with us was the reason for getting Sky sports and his team Spurs are on BT sports and he can’t watch it!!

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

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

  • movenicely
    movenicely (@movenicely) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    @virginmedia the worse customer service I’ve had in a long time. An absolute racket- tv, internet, billing & customer service: all woeful - they allow themselves 28 days to respond to a query & the phone lines are inaccessible - you couldn’t make it up #avoidvirginmedia #crooks

  • joelshepp
    Joel Sheppard (@joelshepp) reported

    @virginmedia It is absolutely diabolical; The usability is horrific; The interface is horrendous; You cannot recover deleted items; The recordings do not split between movies and TV shows; and The audio function on the remote control never works. How do I stop the constant upgrade messages?!!

  • TheGriftReport
    Grifty (@TheGriftReport) reported

    Millions of mobile phone users face data rationing and price hikes after Rachel Reeves excluded telecoms firms from a major energy discount scheme. Chancellor Reeves left VodafoneThree, Virgin Media O2 and EE out of the British Industrial Competitiveness Scheme which gives a 25% cut on electricity bills to thousands of other businesses. Telecoms firms are now facing full 33% energy price rises triggered by the Iran war and are drawing up emergency plans including slowing speeds, restricting data during peak times and charging premiums for heavy usage. One network warned up to 9,000 jobs could be at risk and 5G rollout plans shelved. VodafoneThree said it is “disappointed” and urged the Government to protect the critical digital networks the country depends on. Virgin Media O2 added that if the Government wants growth it cannot overlook the networks Britain relies on.

    @virginmedia ok... here is some feedback. Fire the person that has thought aquirering new customers is more important than keeping the ones you got and rewarding them. Secondly fire the person that is handeling disconnections. They singlehandely made me a never again costumer. You could not pay me to return

    @bt_uk and by any chance if you @giffgaff can actually get of your backsides and at the very least give me a engineer appointment date been waiting a month now nothing maybe i should cut out the middle man and contact your friends @virginmedia directly

  • ItsMeFletch_
    Fletch (@ItsMeFletch_) reported

    @virginmedia & @O2 are the two worst companies ever to deal with. Absolutely shocking service.!! 🖕🖕

    hc (@ChaudhryHaroon) reported

    @virginmedia your agents are rude calling me to try and retain me as a customer but speaking to me in a patronising manner!

  • miaKJKJ22
    mia (@miaKJKJ22) reported

    @virginmedia @Gregster29 How to contact you on Sunday with Internet connection issues? The router is flashing yellow since yesterday (Saturday), troubleshooting not working.

  • justarieldotcom
    Ariel Online (@justarieldotcom) reported

    @NotEnoughTECH @virginmedia @virginmedia used to be one of if not the best broadband provider in the UK. They even won some customer service awards x years ago if i remember correctly. At one point everything just fell apart. Customer service became non existent, they started to treat customers unfairly and many other issues. I wonder what happened tbh🤔

  • joelshepp
    Joel Sheppard (@joelshepp) reported

    @virginmedia How do I stop the constant messages telling me to upgrade to a diabolical 360 box (which I will never do)?

  • johnjoeoregan
    JJ (@johnjoeoregan) reported from Manchester, England

    @stetopping Remember you did the piece late last year about Virgin Media Broadband being out for a day? It's now been down for six days in some parts of Manchester. Six full days and not a word from the company except automated messages.
