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

  • Biggsy58
    Bernie Biggs (@Biggsy58) reported from Bexleyheath, England

    @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.

    After a mammoth session on the phone to 6 of your departments to arrange interim broadband given your service failed in Nov. & won't be fixed to March I spoke to a helpful chap called David in the Customer Care Dept before I was cut off. Can you help reconnect me @virginmedia 🙏🏻

    @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?

    Nick Tippett (@nicktippett) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia Pre install Refused to acknowledge any wrong, wouldn't get anyone to even attempt to look till 24th, cust. Service refused to engage as pre installs problem, so am left still with no Internet and no way to sort issues, plus having been spoke to rudely

  • 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!

  • 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?

  • rtkosha
    radz (@rtkosha) reported from Stratford, England

    virgin media was asking for my customer’s card details over the phone which i found suspicious but he goes to me “i ain’t got anything in the bank for them to nick anyway hahaha” 😭😭😭

    @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

    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

    @virginmedia Still bad this morning and seems as if no one from your side @virginmedia cares about it at all.. What should I do? Leave you guys..

  • markrhorney
    Mark (@markrhorney) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia again really???? I just signed up to a flipping contract and broadband goes down again! Worst mistake. Should have went with another provider. My Plex and my security system is down. Thanks for nothing virgin. 🤬🤬🤬

  • Nigelellway

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

    travelling Adam (@TravellingAdam) reported from Blackheath, England

    Virgin why do I keep losing my mobile network? @virginmedia (been trying to post this since 11am lol) as I have virgin broadband as well. 😤

    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

  • andy_s_battle
    Andrew Battle (@andy_s_battle) reported from East Ham, England

    @virginmedia But cutting people off to enforce this is unethical, besides no previous communication has indicated this and the solution is not convenient with where they want to do this and no suggestion to reposition my hub

  • 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

    @virginmedia hi there, all of our services have dropped out in the last ten minutes, the router changed to a flashing red light without anybody touching it. I have rebooted the router and it comes back on but is still flashing red. No TV, no WiFi, no landline help please

    Befitat50 (@befitat50) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia You should first before doing anything fix your broadband Internet which keeps playing up All the time in Clapham… What’s going on??? Tell us without making any excuses..

    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

  • Prodgey
    Lyn Prodger (she/her) (@Prodgey) reported

    @virginmedia once again I have sent a DM as requested about my complaint with no response. Is this part of the ignoring customer correspondence scandal?

    @virginmedia I need help because I have someone that has used my address to set up virgin the box is here and are 6 letters I have spoke to someone but they do not believe me that the person does not live at the address what can I do

  • mrrjwilson
    Rob Wilson (@mrrjwilson) reported

    @ToddCoxeter @virginmedia I remember trying to cancel my broadband and the guy was just downright rude and obstructive. I vowed never to use them again and ripped out the ugly cable termination box from the front of my house.

  • entrustTMF
    entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported

    @jackbremer @virginmedia I've been with them longer than that and, TBF, they've been good on the whole. However, the mark of a decent company, I feel, is how they handle problems...and @virginmedia were found totally wanting in my case. I hope for your sake you never have a serious problem with them 🤞🤞

    @whisperwoIf @virginmedia I mean they didn’t let customers cancel and yet they got fined yesterday by our regulator here in the UK for £28m. I can’t relate because I use Plusnet which practically never goes out or ***** up a lot
