  • BobCratchitt
    Andee Byford (@BobCratchitt) reported from Poplar, England

    @virginmedia But your hub has died and as such I cannot access my broadband, use my landline as you moved it from copper to Ethernet and the TV services are impacted as I cannot record, watch the BBC or any streaming service. In short an outage.

    @virginmedia putting their tariffs up by 17.3% from 1st April - that’s 3.9% over the Retail Price Index Inflation of 13.4%…people getting nowhere near this sort of increase in their pay packets…hang your heads in shame especially in a cost of living crisis.

    @MayorofLondon Shame they provide the most terrible customer service and treat you like they've got you by the short and curlies! Pay £400 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

    @virginmedia You're internet is down *again* in sw9 and your internet service checker page does not work on mobile phones

    @virginmedia hi, internet down in se5. A bit of a disaster for me as I have so much work on. Could you ask someone to check it?

  • RanjanMallya
    Ranjan Mallya (@RanjanMallya) reported from Croydon, England

    This 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

  • DogAteMyWookie
    Mr Wookie aka Cliff (@DogAteMyWookie) reported from Croydon, England

    Hey @virginmedia when are people in the CR0 postcode going to get their Internet back? It's been down since lunch? Any ETA? Need to plan if I need to go to the office tomorrow instead.

    Virgin media is down and I actually have to talk to my family… yuck.

    @_Lewis_A @virginmedia I had this problem and was advised to buy new cables, did that and it gets minimum 200mb now, also make sure all cables are really tight and fitted properly.

    @virginmedia your broadband sucks man!!! Can you just come and remove yourselves from my neighbourhood😑😑😑😑

  • JaneCommon
    Jane Common (@JaneCommon) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia It obviously is an area issue as we have an area WhatsApp group and everyone’s internet is down: but I don’t have time to call as I have appointments all afternoon and knowi will be stuck in a queue for an hour minimum. Can you email to alert them to the issue???

  • Andrew007Uk
    Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Andrew007Uk) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    Listening to the broadband presentation on @itvMLshow with some irony. I pay @virginmedia £79/month for broadband/phone & TV. BB/TV failed in November, after many calls they say it will be fixed in March 2023 😬 Compensation is only calculated when service is restored 😪 Fair?

  • nicktippett
    Nick Tippett (@nicktippett) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia Pre install was yesterday with technician linking my house to virgin and ever since I've had no Internet from my current provider. spoke with pre install last night, and today, total of 4 handlers then cust. Service with no resolution and nobody wanting to deal with it now!

  • PieFaceMark
    mark (@PieFaceMark) reported from Poplar, England

    Absolute nightmare with @virginmedia arranging new package. Since agreeing package deal yesterday I've received FOUR different emails telling me I'm gonna be paying four different amounts, all higher than what was agreed. Absolutely terrible customer service and real headache

    @SisterWalburga I can see it from the biog. link - but I’m an EE customer rather than Sky or Virgin Media, so maybe it doesn’t count for the purpose of the question…

  • catsmum27
    Kat (@catsmum27) reported

    @Elainebks @y_alibhai @virginmedia They monitor, but the responses are purely performative as resolutions never achieved.

  • oftenFrazzled
    Kate (@oftenFrazzled) reported

    @O2 signed up 2yr sim only Fri 12/06. received msg "my new number active" but I put in a pac code to keep my old number AND the new SIM hasn't arrived yet. Also I keep getting booted out the login page now of my virgin media account. Not impressed at all. Considering cancelling

    @virginmedia I f***** HATE virgin media, i cant wait till my contract ends with you, Causing me stress by giving other 02 permission to set up a direct debit when i never instructed you too! BASTARDS! 😡

  • atcdecorating20

    Just paid again through @dazn and working fine so it’s a @virginmedia issue

    @virginmedia Updates please? Still not working? Not been able to watch majority of this event at all! Very unhappy with service!

  • RorschachSlays
    Rorschach Slays🇸🇮🇪🇺🇬🇧 (@RorschachSlays) reported

    @RETeacher11 @virginmedia Switch to CityFibre, if you can. I finally got rid of VM after 15 years of bullshit. Price increases, shocking customer service, appalling tech support. Been with CF for 2 years now. I don't even have a reason to contact them - rock-solid and reliable 24/7.

  • DeraCalla
    dera calla (@DeraCalla) reported

    @SarahLudford @virginmedia @O2 Agreed. Customer service now so often means hours and hours trying to contact people, and going round in circles for days and weeks. Why can't we just call and speak to someone?!

  • Nichola09215766
    Nicholas (@Nichola09215766) reported

    @virginmedia Are you able to contact the staff that used to work on them because I have a long running complaint and despite forum staff having access to info nobody at 150 can help and apparently the ONLY time my problem got identified and fixed nobody can find except for forum staff.

  • Lyndzii
    Lyndzi Hamilton (@Lyndzii) reported

    @virginmedia requested delivery date and new contract start date to be 28th July. You’ve now sent a text and told my internet provider that I want to start it on 29th June which will incur me a fee. Can you fix this please?
