    Terrible service by @virginmedia - trying to cancel my mobile contract & get a PAC to transfer my number. I’ve been waiting over a week & today when I got through to someone, after on hold 26mins, got cut off - but they didn’t ring me back! Wonder why I want to leave them?!?! 😡

    Hi @virginmedia you have been utterly appalling. I have been trying to contact someone you about my complaint since 9/1/23 and you’ve fobbed me off. Terrible service.

  • EppsRacer
    Mike Epps 🇬🇧🇳🇿 (@EppsRacer) reported from Northamptonshire, England

    @virginmedia Rather than an apology, how about a warning text or email stating when my broadband will be down or interrupted? So I can plan ahead, not waste mine and others time and money, and feel like I’m a customer and not a complete idiot for paying for this? I’m finally back online.

  • RobRobbedford

    @virginmedia it seems that your cancellation dept call centre is closed due to the virus, I’ve tried to cancel my account & tried to message you online but neither appear to be possible, I’m just going round in circles. I haven’t renewed my contract or take you with me. Help

    @nerans1 @virginmedia They are on auto pilot. My best one last week. Letter from HMRC dated April 15th asking for a payment (which I had already made, employer mess up ) to be paid by 31/1/2019! Cut me off but found way round it...refuse to say what problem is about!

    @virginmedia My broadband fluctuates, but even when I’m getting above 200mbps WiFi , my Ethernet to the back of the house is 5-10mbps. I’ve done all your tests, but read lots of comments that this is due to the virgin hub. Can you find a solution so I can work from home please!

  • gsolomonphoto
    Garry Solomon (@gsolomonphoto) reported from Rushden, England

    @virginmedia on a 200mbps download package and I’m averaging 9mbps this morning! I understand there might be heavier traffic at the moment, but we can’t do any work from home with such poor service!! #stayconnected I would if I could!!

    @virginmedia I know that there’s an issue in the area. It went early this morning. I’ve seen the spike of reports. I’ve seen the bot say it’s gonna get fixed. Then the bot is saying the issue is with our box. Even though I know there’s tons in the area still having issues. Basically, it lies

    @virginmedia we have been trying to call you for ages but it keeps saying wrong number when they answer the phone and after we put in all the details. Please help.

  • entrustTMF
    entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported

    On day 8 with no broadband from @virginmedia the engineer has finally fixed it INFURIATINGLY he informed me that the service was shut off at the cabinet due to "noise" from the property that was affecting other users back on 21/4! Said he was astonished I hadn't been informed🤬

  • rouse_sue
    Sue Rouse💙 🇺🇦 (@rouse_sue) reported

    @virginmedia I have Netflix as part of my deal. I’ve been told 4 times that an email will be with me in 24 hours. Still no email after 8 days. Everyone promised but no delivery’s. This seems to be a regular issue.

  • DWRICHARDS
    David Richards (@DWRICHARDS) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you. I look forward to doing so after the current period of 30 days (in which to issue a replacement cheque) has expired and when I will need to renew my attempts at scaling your high security battlements!

  • man_simulator
    SimulatorMan (@man_simulator) reported

    @virginmedia any updates on loss of service in my area. As im classed as vunberbul customer amd its been down sence like 3pm yesterday and im pissed off as always happens all the time with Virgin Media !!!

  • shauny67
    Shaun (@shauny67) reported

    @virginmedia @paulpresenteruk Never use ring door bell over WiFi why cos only works on 2.4ghz & Virgin like all providers combine 2.4 & 5ghz together would need to split them & set a static IP address for the ring door bell on 2.4ghz. best option is ethernet to a POE switch for data & power

  • entrustTMF
    entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported

    @RogerGreen2009 @virginmedia I'm definitely going to be reviewing my options at the end of my current @virginmedia contract as they've been dreadful in terms of communication and help when the chips are down(day SEVEN of outage)😢 Sadly, I've only just renewed my contract... Thanks for the suggestions👍

    Tired of paying for multiple subscriptions like Sky, BT Sport, Virgin Media, Now TV, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Apple TV+? I have got the solution. This IPTV @8k_Best_IPTV33 offers: • 300,000+ live channels • 65,000+ VODs • PPV events • Netflix • 78,000+ movies

  • DWRICHARDS
    David Richards (@DWRICHARDS) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks so much. Who should I ask for?! Current promise via Chat is a chq within 30 days. The problem with contacting Virgin Media by phone or online when you are a former customer chasing a refund is that it is difficult to get past your security checking if it's an old a/c.
