  There’s a new Hitron Chita paperweight from @vmbusiness @vmbusinesshelp - it’s expensive but the only thing it can do without going out of service every few minutes

  @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)..

  @virginmedia wi-fi down yet again for about the 5th time this week. Constantly going down over last few weeks as well, absolute shambles.

  Mark Connolly (@macon1375) reported 23 minutes ago 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!

  @virginmedia 20 hours of being passed around your customer ‘care’ teams and no progress. And yet I doubt this is even close to a record.

• 
  Philip 🦅 (@Phil_Swallow) reported 33 minutes ago from Croydon, England

  @vmbusinesshelp @vmbusiness Ah, so when there will be nothing to do or see you will become interested, is that the customer service ethos at VMB? Staggering, but not surprising

  Befitat50 (@befitat50) reported 34 minutes ago 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..

• 
  Andrew Battle (@andy_s_battle) reported 40 minutes ago 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 £1200 a bear for all devices, I wonder what offcom would think

• 
  DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported 42 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia No as I look after an elderly lady with parkinsons on Thursdays which means she doesn't get to get out of the house if I don't see her. So it's booked in for Friday. What help doninhave till then? Or reimbursement? I'm free every day after 3pm & I'm free Tuesday all day

  @virginmedia Still down in Lewisham SE8 for me

• 
  Andrew Battle (@andy_s_battle) reported 57 minutes ago 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

• 
  Philip 🦅 (@Phil_Swallow) reported 58 minutes ago from Croydon, England

  Time to ditch @vmbusiness I think, unreliable service & weak support

• 
  Tony Kinson (@mrkinski) reported 58 minutes ago from Bexleyheath, England

  After the long outage overnight, @virginmedia was back online but is now down again. Any chance of you fixing it before we all need our connection for work in the morning? Asking for all your disgruntled customers. #VirginMediaDown

  Caroline (@finn33) reported 9 minutes ago

  @virginmedia home WiFi down again. No update on engineer time. Just that they’re fixing the problem. How can we get this sorted. Seems a bit of heat and your WiFi goes down. What exactly am I paying for?!

• 
  Triggerology (@TriggerologyUK) reported 10 minutes ago

  @virginmedia my Internet has been down for over 12 hours in the RG23 area. Can you at least tell us the issue?

• 
  Ruth Whalley (@Leftdoubleclick) reported 10 minutes ago

  @virginmedia My iron tripped out. We got everything up and running again, but no internet, no landline, no fire to, no sound bar.we rang you for help. You said you would send an engineer at around 7pm this evening. This is very poor service.

  @Morris_Monye And virgin media would even want to compensate you when they have network issues, Infact you will be informed ahead

• 
  Simone-Lee Deal (@StiffNips2) reported 14 minutes ago

  @JimMooreJourno CEO is too busy counting his £1 mil package to give a ****, and Burnham shows no interest in dealing with it. Amazing that it's a merry-go-round of useless bastards buggering up companies; he used to be at British Gas, equal only to Virgin Media for dissatisfied customers.

  @DigBipper188 @LiveFastSimp @miaaowing In the EU I get 30GB included, and there’s international minutes in my plan anyways. Just data that’s the issue outside the EU. Also O2 in my area was garbage last time I tried it, was on a virgin media contract so experienced both before and after the VMO2 merger. Then again, haven’t touched it since 2022.

Investigation Findings The regulatory investigation covered calls made between January 1, 2022, and September 11, 2024. Ofcom found that MILLIONS of customer service interactions were mishandled to prevent or delay cancellations. Specific tactics included: • Deliberately dropping or hanging up calls when customers asked to cancel. Putting callers on hold for no reason to frustrate them Excessive and unnecessary call transfers between departments. Using a two-tier retention system where only specific agents were allowed to process final cancellations. THIS LOT ARE CONFIRMED CRUEL SCAMMERS

  @Alexarmstrong @GBNEWS Major UK mobile network operators like Vodafone, Virgin Media O2,Tesco Mobile don't make direct cash donations to refugee charities, but instead donate technological equipment, free data, connectivity packages directly to refugees & asylum seekers through partnerships.
