    @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 £1200 a bear for all devices, I wonder what offcom would think

    @virginmedia Hi, the VMGo app is telling me I need to upgrade to watch live tv but I’ve got the right package to have access and have until today watched live via the app. Is there an issue? Tried restarting it etc.

    @virginmedia Hi. Have no wifi (green light) and despite rebooting several times have a had no luck. This has happened after following your instruction to reboot for ‘faster speed’. Please advise asap - no issues in the area according to your website.

    Shockingly bad experience (again) from @vmbusiness @vmbusinesshelp - “upgrade” yesterday has wiped out my Wi-Fi - engineer coming next week. Couldn’t make it up, these cowboys really are the worst

  • WhiskyOneIce

    Be careful if you ever want to cancel a @virginmedia account, I wrote to them, twice as per their T&C because you can never get through on chat or phone, they deny receipt of letters because you cant send recorded delivery so they just keep sending bills and chasing payments

  • macon1375
    Mark Connolly (@macon1375) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia Hah really @virginmedia been trying live chat since 8am and now call but on hold for ages!! Is not on. Causing issues with my work!! #worstbroadband

    Nick Tippett (@nicktippett) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia Might I add that the last handler in pre install stated he was a 'senior' and he was incredibly rude, talking over me and trying to tell me what my problem was!

  • macon1375
    Mark Connolly (@macon1375) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia They advise they would send a signal to router, I then turn off after 5 mins, for 10 mins and when back on all will be working! Well it didn’t make a difference and my speed test shows my downloads dropped from 236mbs to 36. The issue is uploads tho at 0.5mbps. On hold again!

    Leigh Booker 🐈‍⬛ 3.5% #FBPE #FBPPR #GTTO (@leighbooker) reported from Welling, England

    @virginmedia It has just come back on. The annoying thing is your website said no problems, so I went through the usual, unplugging, checking cables etc. only for the website to be updated later. I should have learned by now.

    @thetvroom Same issue on virgin media

    APTS Archive (@APTSArchive) reported

    Quick update following my post - I did have a DM discussion with VirginMedia. Apparently all refunds are process via cheque payments and posted to you - and I’ve got to wait up to 45 days - yes 45 days for the cheque. If I’ve not received it by then I’ve got to contact them again and they will investigate why - probably waiting another 45 days. This is disgusting behaviour @virginmedia, despite it being so called company policy. You took £1,070 from our account despite assurance the equipment return date had been extended, causing us to be overdrawn, yet you now hang on to our money for up to 45 days! It doesn’t take 45 days for a computer to print a cheque!

    @danielarf21 I’m with you on Virgin Media not showing it anymore, really disappointing tbh as there was a fanbase for it. But willing to give this series a go, the trailer isn’t the worst. People saying it’s “Ai Slop” need to chill, unfortunately it’s gonna be the norm for a lot of shows
