Andy Welsh 🍕 (@imandywelsh) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England@virginmedia Don't worry you're rep is long gone! It was just the worst timing to rock up & block our extremely tight side road 👌🏻
-
Mark ODonnell (@TheLensman) reported from Crewe, England@virginmedia The number used 01455443469 in the UK. They said they had detected problems on our router & wanted to help. They asked me to enter a web site. Having spent almost 40 years in IT I felt it was wrong. The router does have slow moments but I had not reported it.
-
Sophie Bridgett (@sophiebridgett) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England@virginmedia Still terrible. I've followed the instructions once signed in online however consistently dipping. :(
-
Rocketman_86 (@Rocketman_86) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England@virginmedia Your a tech company and doesn't have an email address. Your live chat is laughable and waiting times on the phones is silly. Trying log into the account - forget password the username doesn't exist. The self help is insulting intelligence is the ringer switched on for instance
-
Andrew Dickerson (@andy_dickerson) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England@virginmedia Yes I did and Tuesdays fault was shown and yesterday's wasn't so how about you provide the service I pay for. If this continues I will begin getting quotes from other service providers as I am fed up of dealing with bots and spammers claiming to be from you.
-
Andy Picken (@andyvic7) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England@virginmedia I’m sick of resetting that hub it’s supposed to be 100mb fibre I had less trouble with my dial up! Do you supply boosters as you can take it out before I spend money to make up for your awful service
-
Ant Sheeran 🤙🏻 (@sh33ran7) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England@virginmedia Yes I’ve checked it each time it has occurred and there’s no problem showing, I’ve also restarted and rebooted numerous times over the last couple of days and it still intermittently just stops working.
-
Jay Tungsvik (@Th3V1k1ng) reported from Bucknall, England@virginmedia Nope... back home after being out since 7am. And guess what... no virgin broadband... Still. I can't work. I can't stream. I can't log into the EA/STEAM apps to play games on my pc. Thanks for putting my costs up and dropping the service @virginmedia

J9PVFC (@J9PVFC) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England@virginmedia recently downgraded my broadband package, but my Volt package hasn’t been reapplied to my account. Can you help as O2 show it’s active, but no options on your help site that direct me to someone to fix.
-
James Hope (@gingerjames1990) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England@reddersmufc @Ofcom @virginmedia Virgin Media have gone down massively! The amount they charge doesn't represent the customer experience at all!
-
Andrea Day (@Andreaeday) reported from Biddulph, England@virginmedia <sigh> suppose I really shouldn’t have thought that you would provide a good customer service experience based on my experience of my recent dealings. Sad; Virgin Media used to be pretty awesome. Disappointed.
-
James Hope (@gingerjames1990) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England@virginmedia Again have you read anything iv said????? THREE CALLS to your customer services and all connected to off shore people who have either not got a clue what a complaint is or refused to log one for me! Instead of repeating yourself sort it out! @Ofcom #poorcustomerservice
-
Jacqui Riley (@cajriley51) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England@virginmedia Why cant someone just ring me so I can actually explain what the problem is. When I try and light in it does not recognize my mothers maiden name and I'm sure I have got that right so then I cant get any further
-

I’ve called several times, to be told somebody will contact you regarding your complaint. I ask to speak to a manger I’m told, none available.

Robert Taylor (@rabtaylor1981) reported@virginmedia any idea why it has to be so difficult to actually speak to anyone? Both TV boxes no longer work right, received an email saying a new box was coming but only got a remote for a box I don't even have! Can anyone help??

Net Zero Watch (@NetZeroWatch) reportedMobile network operators have warned they could be forced to ration phone signal access to combat soaring energy prices triggered by the war in Iran. In a stark warning to the Government, telecoms giants including VodafoneThree, Virgin Media O2 and EE said they were drawing up emergency contingency plans after being excluded from Rachel Reeves’s energy support scheme. More Net Zero issues for consumers. #CostOfNetZero

Dec Staley (@DecStaley24679) reportedI've been away this weekend. Come back to my @virginmedia television keep blanking out for periods of time.. is there a problem in the tameside area?
-
GrumpyByName 🇮🇱 (@LessGrumpy) reported@IanSlaterPhoto1 @BrydonN2 Absurd. One of the reasons I’ve never left virgin media is that they were the only fibre to the door operator round here till recently.
-
Paul Groadey (@PGroadey19230) reported@vmbusiness AGAIN ....LOCKED OUT MY ACCOUNT SINCE 02 WANTED ANOTHER E MAIL ...... I AM 1 OF "THOUSANDS" COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE ! BIGGEST MESS UP SINCE THE 02 MERGE. IF CUSTOMERS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH 02 IE A SIM OR PHONE WHY DO PEOPLE NEED A BACK UP E MAIL FOR 02 ?
-
Sean Pearson (@soapyrct) reported@mobily_uk @virginmedia Because they expect lots of folk to either not realise or just pay anyway, its also why they make it so difficult to call. Funny you can join and change everything on line except cancel! Virgin are THE worst company for service.
-
mancs boi (@DjmarkieT) reported@virginmedia your service is a joke, internet down since Friday at 2pm update to say fixed midnight, then 4pm yesterday, then updated to 19th at 0:04 and now 20th at 16:04 that means I cant work tomorrow YOUR A JOKE time to LEAVE!
-
Daniel Goble (@danielgoble) reported@mobily_uk @virginmedia The whole point is to just get you locked into another deal. You threaten to switch and then they lower it and hope you fall for it...all while they try to upsell **** TV packages that nobody wants.

Calvin Isaac (@Ca1vin1saac) reportedHi @virginmedia — there’s no internet at my home in Derby,UK. I’ve already restarted the router but still no connection. Can you please check if there’s an outage or help resolve this ASAP? Thanks!
