Dr Andrew Fleming ๐ฌ๐ง ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ (@Andrew007Uk) reported from Sutton at Hone, EnglandAfter a mammoth session on the phone to 6 of your departments to arrange interim broadband given your service failed in Nov. & won't be fixed to March I spoke to a helpful chap called David in the Customer Care Dept before I was cut off. Can you help reconnect me @virginmedia ๐๐ป
-
Andrew Battle (@andy_s_battle) reported from East Ham, England@virginmedia No effort is made to rectify the problem they just want to change to VOIP with no regard to a customer who spends over ยฃ1200 a bear for all devices, I wonder what offcom would think
-
Dr Andrew Fleming ๐ฌ๐ง ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ (@Andrew007Uk) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia Though I am dyslexic I have painstakingly done this on multiple devices and have photos to show It - not posting them publicly but it does not recognise that password ๐ข A search on line suggests the problem is not unique. I have one hour to call the manufacturer if you advice.

Dr Andrew Fleming ๐ฌ๐ง ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ (@Andrew007Uk) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@PaulWelsh_UK @virginmedia There is no service. 26 November reported - 6th March earliest date for works. I was past to no less than 6 different teams before finally getting somewhere and then being cut off. Anyway welcome home my friend - hope you have more luck than me!
-
Philip ๐ฆ (@Phil_Swallow) reported from Croydon, EnglandTime to ditch @vmbusiness I think, unreliable service & weak support
-
Andrew Battle (@andy_s_battle) reported from East Ham, England@virginmedia Just spouting corporate line does not improve the situation. No advanced notice, no resolution to problem, appointment missed, but if I am not here for a visit I am fined. This is very one sided for a service that has other companies wanting the business
-
Baz, Wacky worm! (@mobiusb2) reported from Lambeth, EnglandOh great Broadband broken! , and now got to wait in for Virgin media to fix it tommorow afternoon. Probably punishment for not watching the funeral.
-
Declan Higgins โ (@declan1968) reported from Southwark, England@virginmedia What does an area outage mean? I pay Virgin about ยฃ150 a month for services. This is over the odds but I thought I was getting a reliable service and so went with it.
-
Jay Bourley (@drummerJ83) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia Hi, the VMGo app is telling me I need to upgrade to watch live tv but Iโve got the right package to have access and have until today watched live via the app. Is there an issue? Tried restarting it etc.

Mark ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ (@WhiskyOneIce) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia It's okay I've taken it up with CEDR now and let them resolve it, I'm just highlighting to people how difficult it is to cancel contracts and the fact that VM consistently "loose" letters
-
Millwall halfwayline (@millwalljdb) reported from Camberwell, England@philclarke0170 Virgin media seems to be the problem
-
Dr Andrew Fleming ๐ฌ๐ง ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ (@Andrew007Uk) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia John - lights are on but the external fault has already been established. It is a contractor that has to deal with the issue - one claimed to have done it but it failed to work - now you contractor is failing to respond to requests by your colleagues 4 updates on a new commission

Mark ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ (@WhiskyOneIce) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia Obviously i don't have proof because your site doesn't say send recorded so why would i, my number was ported in July and I wrote same time, I have no reason to not send letter and you can see from any data usage that I stopped using your service

Ranjan Mallya (@RanjanMallya) reported from Croydon, EnglandThis is what I get for being a customer for over 8 continuous years and then 5 years before that. This is awful customer service by Virgin media. #Virginmedia @virginmedia
-
#AshTag (@Ashley_Rhysss) reported from Southwark, EnglandThe service from @virginmedia is utterly dreadful. Had Wi-Fi issues so they sent someone out to rectify. Worked for 2 days then the same issues started again. Not had working Wi-Fi for the last 3 weeks. If your thinking of going with them for tv / internet, go with someone else.

DragonFish ๐ฌ๐ง๐ช๐บ๐ฎ๐น (@discobabe76) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@MayorofLondon Shame they provide the most terrible customer service and treat you like they've got you by the short and curlies! Pay ยฃ400 a year for a service, custome service agents are like robots and stuff you for days when it doesn't work with no alternative offered! @virginmedia
-
Chris ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ช๐บ (@strutcakes) reported from Lambeth, EnglandCalled Virgin Media to complain about the TV box not working and to get it removed from my package. Somehow ended up singing another 18 month contract with the TV box included but at a reduced price. Not ideal but not horrendous.

Captain Howdy (@colonbarbarian) reported@denchaser @virginmedia I love my VM broadband, but dealing with their "customer service" team is like banging head against a brick wall. I just renewed my contract, still being charged twice as much as a new customer. Offered me ยฃ55 a month then went up to ยฃ59 as soon as I went to accept it.

Graeson Laitt (@Laitty) reported@virginmedia He relies on his television to watch Sky Sports. That is the service he pays for, and at the moment that service has failed him. Please can you confirm what the actual fault is and when you expect Sky Sports through Virgin TV to be working again?
