Another day in the life of a @virginmedia customer. TV showing fault. Ran online diagnostics, didn't fix. Site says to call. Call. Go through menu, TV, fault... sends me a text with a link to online diagnostics, says "thanks for calling" and hangs up. Worst. Company. Ever.

@virginmedia No reported issues. Tried the fixes before, and so did virgin chat. Not just my handset, other people are having the same problem. Am I going to have to change networks, is that what you're saying? Due to the change to O2?

@virginmedia I dunno mate, that's why I tried to call you lot. You can't help, so don't worry about it. Another weekend without TV and internet, waiting for your engineer to turn up. Another complaint. Another refund.

@virginmedia Screw you. Only me dying bothers anyone, literally anyone, it's always impossible to help me until people understand that I will kill myself. You're no better than them. See you in 2 weeks or not "AB".

@virginmedia Your company is awful. I’ve called today waited 10min to the worst hold music only to be cut off. Call back to be told your closed now then state you are open between 9-6. Why are you deliberately obstructive?

@virginmedia why does it seem impossible to sort my TV and WiFi out? My partner has been phoning up on and off for a year or more about poor signal, not being able to use catch and apps and general poor service. Just get fobbed off.] Is this how you treat all customers?

@virginmedia Clearly not as the issue keeps coming back after multiple engineer fixes outside AND in my home. You're lying through your teeth and leaving me in the dark literally. Stop hiding behind "standard business" replies, be human and help me.

@virginmedia It works intermittently. This has been discussed over a series of phone calls through 12 months. A booster box has been sent too and its still poor. We're paying for a service we can't use when we want to. The TV box is next to the WiFi box downstairs & is still poor.

@virginmedia I have a TiVo box but my tv screen keeps pixelating. It is not restricted to 1 channel. I have turned the box off at the plug but it has made no difference. Can you help?

@virginmedia terrible service. You booked to install my equipment on 13th Dec 2023. Wrong year and no one will sort it out. Your fault entirely

@virginmedia any help? Seems a bit excessive if you’re citing inflation… a little bit of transparency may help…!

Been with @virginmedia back as far as old NTL days. Downgrade our package for the first time ever to keep costs down, and the Internet must have crashed at least 8 times today, the day after we changed. Absolutely useless, on the phone tomorrow to cancel this **** completely.

@GillibrandPeter Virgin Media are - by a significant margin - the worst company I've ever had the displeasure of having to deal with. I literally don't think there's anything in the world that could ever convince me to go back to them.

@virginmedia You really aren’t reading the messages, I’ve now told 3 different channels of my mothers death, I’ve called bereavement line to be hung up on, then closed early. I want a complaint raised, @Ofcom can you help?

@virginmedia Poor WiFi availability in the home....a device next to the router reports Poor WiFi signal.....your support agent has tested the equipment and everything was OK.....he advised I.might need a better speed more width

(@VamsiMula) reported
@virginmedia Yes.They expected one man to just connect the router in the house and activate without any issues. Because it is two man job, they cant do it until 24th.For a new connection in a house that was not with virginmedia earlier, I would have thought of preparing for this eventuality.

Continuing on the @virginmedia saga, 48 hours after broadband went down, this morning around 8am the system was back online. Well hallelujah... Oh, hang on, now the phone is down. "Engineers are aware

@virginmedia can we please have an accurate update on fix time and what the fault is? Ref F008869287 Lost 24h of work time, if you had been more realistic about fix time yesterday would have made other arrangements

(@benlover1983) reported
@virginmedia Hi there - since the outage in the N5 area of broadband and tv over the last few days, my wifi is restored fine but certain TV channels are scrambled and don't appear to get a strong single. Is there an issue? Service status says not.

Sophie
(@bemusedwithlife) reported
@Vroniholzmann @SueJ1973 Oh yes! I'll be putting in a formal complaint - both to virginmedia and to @Ofcom When I said as much to the customer service agent, the reply I was given, and I quote, "I don't blame you"! So even their own staff think they are ripping the public off!

(@anzelmodotnet) reported
Hi @virginmedia our cable internet has been down for 24+ hours now. Do you have any specific update on fault F008865354 ? The service status page said it would be fixed by 4pm yesterday, then 10 this morning, then 12, then 4... perhaps you can see the pattern there.

Ben Boyce
(@bjsboyce) reported
@virginmedia @althorego Yep. 3rd time it’s gone down here in a week. Apparently there are some damaged cables. No information how they became damaged or if the previous two outages were for the same reason. Doesn’t speak highly to their level of maintenance.

@virginmedia Hi, is there a direct telephone number for your technical support team. I need to report slow speeds, but using your switchboard the automated voice tells me my equipment is working correctly and then hangs up on me.
