  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

  Mark Connolly (@macon1375) reported 6 minutes ago from Crayford, England

  @virginmedia Of course. I’ve done everything required of me: I was told it’s caused by my home move and the disconnection due on 12th. Things seem to have been prematurely actioned affecting my signal

  Claire Champion (@Champion3Claire) reported 8 minutes ago from Bromley, England

  @virginmedia An explanation of the problem and what is being done would be a good start for customer service. Right now that’s sadly lacking. I hope there will be a £ reduction in the bill for the lack of service??

  @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!

  @virginmedia I’m going into my 5 week of problems with this crap company they say they will investigate but nothing, no compensation nothing.

  @virginmedia I've got no internet and calling 150... Says offices are closed?! Can't access live chat! Won't let me log in! What awful customer service is this?! How do I get through to someone??

• 
  Adam H-Matthews (@AdamHMatthews) reported 17 minutes ago from Camberwell, England

  @virginmedia How does £8.40 a day cover 2 people unable to work for a full day? Still no contact from Virgin engineer or any comment on what the issue is? The time to fix the issue just keeps getting later.

  Michael James Weaver (@Weaverfooty14) reported 19 minutes ago from Blackheath, England

  @virginmedia is there a outage in woolwich Se18 my broadband isn't working and I can't even load up your website to try and get help?

• 
  Mark Connolly (@macon1375) reported 19 minutes ago from Crayford, England

  @virginmedia @virginmedia can have no rival to the worst customer service out there! Said resolved an issue after held for over an hour only to find it’s not and I now can’t get back in touch. 2nd day work ruined

  @virginmedia Is there an outage in SW4? I checked the online status on your webpage, but it says there are no issues and yet I do not have internet at home.

• 
  DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported 34 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @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)..

  #AshTag (@Ashley_Rhysss) reported 35 minutes ago 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.

  Declan Higgins ☘ (@declan1968) reported 43 minutes ago from Southwark, England

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

  Jay Bourley (@drummerJ83) reported 47 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @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.

• 
  Jay Bourley (@drummerJ83) reported 49 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @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.

  @virginmedia I have no broadband or phone, your online checker doesn't work and neither does your helpline. What's going on?

  @virginmedia @TheAFC0522 The issue is not watching Sky sports. You cannot get the red button games via the browser or app!!

  Justin (@juza_23) reported 3 minutes ago

  Basically spend the past week aside from the weekend without TV or broadband because Virgin Media can’t be arsed to send somebody out to fix the problem. ******* ridiculous.

• 
  Gary Adams (@GazzaAdams) reported 3 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I need this escalated as a formal complaint regarding fault **F012421201**, because the information Virgin Media is providing has now become demonstrably contradictory. At **08:01 today, 20 August**, Virgin Media told me: “Our engineer is on site and they're working to fix the problem.” The estimated repair time given was **18:00 today**. At **15:27 today**, after I have been without service for most of the day, Virgin Media has now told me: “We have identified the problem and an engineer is on their way.” The estimated repair time has also been moved to **14:10 tomorrow, 21 August**. These statements cannot both accurately describe the progress of the same fault. An engineer who was already **on site and working on the problem at 08:01** cannot subsequently be **“on their way” at 15:27** without some explanation. I fully understand that a complex network fault may take longer to repair than initially anticipated, and that estimated restoration times can change. That is not my complaint. My complaint is that Virgin Media is repeatedly providing contradictory factual information about the status of the repair, while I remain without the service I am paying for. I consequently have no confidence in the estimated restoration times being provided. Please therefore: 1. **Log this as a formal complaint and provide me with the complaint reference.** 2. Confirm the actual current status of fault **F012421201**, rather than repeating the automated status information. 3. Explain how an engineer could be reported as on site and working at 08:01 but “on their way” at 15:27. 4. Confirm when the outage affecting my service officially began and that the full period of loss of service has been recorded against my account. 5. Confirm what automatic compensation I will be entitled to for the complete loss of service, where applicable. I have retained screenshots of the outage updates and their timestamps. Please respond to the specific points above rather than sending me another automated repair estimate.

  @virginmedia hello, seem to be having some drops in our broadband over the last 48 hours. I’ve followed all steps to reset, unplug etc but still not working as intended. Any help please? Thank you.

  Richard Aldous 🍊 (@RJAldous1) reported 4 minutes ago

  Hey @virginmedia how long does it take to sort out a connection issue as my broadband and tv went down about 14:00 and still just getting a flashing red light on my router (yes I reported it) these days it’s hard to do anything without internet access! 😡

  john (@jhargie4) reported 5 minutes ago

  @O2 @virginmedia CEO Lutz Schueler been waiting 5 days for my DEALOCK Letter following your refusal to actually discuss my complaint before transferring to another service provider. New customers get better deals than 20 year loyal ones.

  @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

  @virginmedia I have sent you two private messages and have not had a response. Is this how you treat customer complaints?
