  • 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.

  • shaun1968 shaun harley (@shaun1968) reported from Didcot, England

    @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

  • RhodriJ26331960 Rhodri Jones (@RhodriJ26331960) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    @virginmedia your control box lock is broken as it's not closing properly and the box is sometimes been opened it's on the Marston road in Oxford outside Marston court care home between harberton mead and William Street it's the box up against the hedge OX3 0DJ

  • RNeacsu Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia And yes I called to your outage number, apparently there is no known issue in the area. Even though last night at 11.30pm in the app the status check showed every service is down, even though they weren't down last night. This happens only during working hours.

  • Oxfordwolf Oxford Wolf /\_/\ 🔶 (@Oxfordwolf) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    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!

  • MilesGomme Miles Gomme (@MilesGomme) reported from Cumnor, England

    @virginmedia I only use the hub as a router for my internal network of Dlan Wi-Fi extenders. This provides the best solution in my house. Having another Wi-Fi signal only causes more issues. Manual control is always the best solution! The Dlan routers stopped working….

  • LydSmiz Lydia Smith (@LydSmiz) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    @virginmedia It’s been over a month since I sent an online complaint form (as advised by this account) and have heard nothing back since and it has been 4 months since the original issue (not to mention the 13 calls to customer service). When can I expect to hear back on my complaint?

  • RNeacsu Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia Internet keeps disconnecting. Called, useless as always. Intermittent issues or connectivity issues. Just send an engineer to check, why wait for another 24h when this is an ongoing issue. I've even reset the hub, still same issues.

  • MilesGomme Miles Gomme (@MilesGomme) reported from Cumnor, England

    @virginmedia why did you bother sending out the email about opting out of having your Wi-Fi settings changed, when you go and do it anyway!! I had to reset and turn off all the changes you made! If it isn’t broken don’t fix it!!!

  • JaneThomas33 Jane Thomas (@JaneThomas33) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    @virginmedia site down again so no help function / ability to leave for 3 days ???

  • Adamox2020 Adam (@Adamox2020) reported from Oxfordshire, England

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

  • Fabiaburlesque Fabia Cerra - Actor/Dancer/Choreographer/Writer (@Fabiaburlesque) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    @TheO2 and @virginmedia @BBCWatchdog Be careful of this, they say they will send you a free SIM card. First off, it never arrived. Secondly, they rack up a bill baring in mind I’ve not used it. Then put it on your credit rating. So glad my three year contract ends with o2 soon.

  • thomas_ashby_ Cllr Thomas Ashby (@thomas_ashby_) reported from Witney, England

    . @virginmedia morning. Internet has just gone down on Mirfield Road in Witney. Do you have any news as to why? We did not have any notification.

  • HeadingtonNews Headington News (@HeadingtonNews) reported from Oxfordshire, England

  • wcbutcher Bill Butcher (@wcbutcher) reported from Kidlington, England

    I had an issue with my @bt_uk tv box. I got through straight away and a replacement box was sent forthwith. I had help setting it up. Brilliant service. Eat your heart out @virginmedia

  • Olski Olie Bosley (@Olski) reported from Abingdon, England

    @virginmedia how embarrassing is it for you that I would rather pay @skytv more per month just to not have to deal with your appalling customer service?

  • DJRyanJamesUK DJ Ryan James (@DJRyanJamesUK) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    @ChloeThomsonYT @virginmedia Internet sounds as bad as their billing!

  • HilaryGurden Hilary Gurden (@HilaryGurden) reported from Abingdon, England

  • Sym0n Simon (@Sym0n) reported

  • vonny8761 Vonnyz (@vonny8761) reported

    @virginmedia Shameful disappointing bunch of.....! Sent them numerous responses for them to DELETE MY DETAILS from their system, yet they continue to send me invoices for a service I never had! VM please get your house in order! STOP sending me invoices & STOP sending emails!

  • duncanssmith Duncan Smith (@duncanssmith) reported

    @virginmedia internet down in Central London 24 hours and counting. 150/151 not available! What is going on??? Any ideas? No service at all. No warning, no communication, just a massive outage. Extremely disappointing.

  • HideFury69 HideFury (@HideFury69) reported

    @virginmedia Hey John, this start happening again like before 2 mounts every evening after 19.00-20.00 i start drooping frames which creates very slow loading times or fail to load at all. Live video streams or games unusable and very frustrating. 1 night is fine but every evening is too much

  • DavidBSauer David B Sauer (@DavidBSauer) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia - Contracted services are being withheld without logical justification. - Service is not restored despite payment. - Calls/contacts for support go unanswered. Repeatedly. Yes, I will be filing a complaint. This is truly atrocious.

  • TwistAndShout47 Shadow Heart Vespasian. (@TwistAndShout47) reported

    @virginmedia I'd rather have my "guaranteed" 100mb minimum than the below 50mb I get and I'm paying for 200 yeah I should have kept my old contract at least then I had talk anytime unlike the stupid talk weekends I have now. God I miss VM from 15 years ago.

  • mepaulrobinson Paul Robinson (@mepaulrobinson) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia still nothing. More calls, money now been taken, complaint number assigned and still nothing! Why can’t I cancel and send the handset and SIM card back?!

  • robinson_kate Kate Robinson (@robinson_kate) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, there was never a delivery request made by virgin, so not yodel's fault. Another hour on the phone to VM. If this issue is not sorted 3rd time of trying then you've lost a customer I'm afraid.

  • andycousins1 Andrew Cousins (@andycousins1) reported

    @virginmedia I'm not sure you do want it resolved, the only person I've heard from is some bloke begging I stay and reducing my bill by a tenna, from a mobile phone whilst driving I may add!!!!! Not sure how a forum is going to help!! I need an engineer!
