    @virginmedia 4/ I work from home so asked what can I do in the meantime? No help given. I asked to speak to a supervisor. Waited 15 mins to speak to Supervisor ( 45 mins total already spent on phone)..

    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

    @virginmedia Oh yeah. Nothing that explains why it keeps happening though. Fix dates are usually meaningless. Feels like we're being rationed.

    @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.

  • DogAteMyWookie

    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.

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

  • 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

    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

    @redheadlass1402 @virginmedia We’ve got the business service but it’s no better. They don’t seem to have any proactive monitoring or fault prevention and pretty much don’t care. They have a 3 hour service level that passed 12 hours ago, totally useless bunch of money-grabbers

  • befitat50
    Befitat50 (@befitat50) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia what’s going on again with this internet at sw4? You just can’t fix a problem? Please don’t come up with your usual excuses and fix itttttt..

  • MiaZagica
    Baltazarka (@MiaZagica) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia Never had we have such a terrible Internet service. Absolutely NEVER. "Can't find server.", for whatever page we want, day after day. Then it finds the server; next minute - puff! Gone! Absolutely abysmal.

  • Khaled_Miah1
    Khaled Miah (@Khaled_Miah1) reported from Poplar, England

    @virginmedia very disappointed with the upgrade package in being offered by Virgin. You are offering a loyal customer to upgrade to Gig1 for £51.15 whereas new customers get it for £45 p/m. Where is the loyalty?

  • mihaialaci
    Mitzy (@mihaialaci) reported from Poplar, England

    @virginmedia They escalated my complaint,but looks like the package is not available to us.When my contact expires will definitely looking at other options as I don’t trust Virgin Media anymore

    @virginmedia Yes I have chased and chased and spent 4 hours today on WhatsApp, no advise just can't help because I have outstanding bill....no the line isn't active because it was ported over to Community Fibre on 8th July

    DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia 11/ I've never been 6 days without internet and help was much more available in the past with virgin. Now, customers are being left high and dry.

    Befitat50 (@befitat50) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia Guys it seems to me @virginmedia is the only one that has problems? My neighbour who uses “talk talk” has never ever had a problem.. I am tired of @virginmedia excuses and I will leave, had enough of it thou..

    Just how **** are Virgin Media...my email was down for two evenings and probably the days as well earlier in the week, and now it's down again. Virgin Media i need to access my emails....this level of service is unacceptable. I'm paying for this crap service! @virginmedia

  • Ashley_Rhysss
    #AshTag (@Ashley_Rhysss) reported from Southwark, England

    The 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.

  • 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!

    @Stephencheatley @virginmedia We had the full VM package quite a few years back but always had issues with their tv service. We ended up going with Sky and havent had any problems since then. We kept the broadband with Virgin because we get 1GB for £38 month with Netflix included. Shop around mate 👍

  • cane2147

    @virginmedia will you sort your internet out 5 times I’ve been disconnected in the last hour £164 a month for this repeated internet and tv issue is unacceptable

  • LouiseMensch
    Louise Bagshawe (@LouiseMensch) reported

    Wow. Shockingly bad by @virginmedia. Lying to @BenLeo that he needed a new contract in order to get equipment repaired, misselling him the contract with a box that didn’t work (admitted by them) and then telling him he wasn’t allowed to go back to his old contract.

  • LondonMum2025
    Mia (@LondonMum2025) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia I’m having the same issues with them

  • GregoryRasputin
    Ivan Elmanov (@GregoryRasputin) reported

    @virginmedia I don’t have a problem returning it, I have a problem with your company threatening to charge me because I didn’t send the router back straight away, maybe give people more than two weeks to send it back before harassing them.

  • Gaztaz1

    @Benleo @virginmedia Had similar issues myself

  • burgs2010

    @Mccartney2Phil @virginmedia Down for 8 days. Started our contract last Wednesday and still haven't been able to watch TV 😡

  • fcmad1960
    FootballCricketMad (@fcmad1960) reported

    @virginmedia Hi there, my problems are still unresolved and even your "Resolutions" team is blanking me. I need confirmation that we're at the end of the road so I can go to the regulator. How can I get this pls?

  • IamCarrieagain
    Carrie (@IamCarrieagain) reported

    @virginmedia You turned off my router remotely and you can turn it back on until I am well enough to deal with trying to set up the new one. Thought of indirect discrimination under EA 2010? How about the fact your were not up front about your service changes/consequences too?

  • AxiomLunc
    AxiomLunc (@AxiomLunc) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia @Benleo Put a complaint into the Ombudsman, O2 and Virginmedia do this all the time, i had a friend who cancelled his O2 contract after working for the company, never had issues with fraud etc, then magically after leaving, he had over £1000 fraud on his account.
