  • WillBr1875 Will_BRFC.1875 (@WillBr1875) reported from Great Harwood, England

    @virginmedia There isn't anything that could help with the problem because I don't fully understand what everything is or means etc It could do with a technician to have a look, something similar as happened before and you sent a technician out

  • Debbie_Cleo Debbie Ioanna (Author) (@Debbie_Cleo) reported from Queensbury, England

    @virginmedia honestly... your call centre/arranging anything is absolutely shocking. Twice had something arranged, twice its not happened and wrong things noted. Please sort out your call centre. This poor engineer has just turned into a complaints department

  • FloButcher84 strange little Flo (@FloButcher84) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia bb3 area: internet has been down since yesterday morning & update it's not going to be fixed till tomorrow. I have a online business to run & kids need to do their homework online, can't stream any tv either. Can I ask what the issue is & why its taking so long?

  • gazbullsfan22 Gareth Rider-Smith (@gazbullsfan22) reported from Keighley, England

    @virginmedia Service even worse you demand full payment and then will credit our account for your error and breach of contract! Your customers service staff rude! Demanding money before we can speak to anyone well I wonder what a solicitor would have to say with copy of the breached contract.

  • NJWesthead NJW (@NJWesthead) reported from Rawtenstall, England

    @virginmedia Broadband/TV outage until 2:35pm but can’t register a loss of service as page doesn’t load. On 4G so problem is with you. Why advertise you’ll compensate if there’s no way to get it?!

  • wightpie Wightpie (@wightpie) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia So why then a) does it specify postal and b) not provide a field for mobile number. At best it’s misleading and at worst incompetent

  • gazbullsfan22 Gareth Rider-Smith (@gazbullsfan22) reported from Keighley, England

    @virginmedia when is someone going to ring us back after the failure to apply the package to our account we sorted on the phone yet still hasn’t changed or a manager ringing back to deal with the complaint. Shocking services but soon quick to mailing bills out!

  • Elisabet0490 🪷Elisabet🪷 (@Elisabet0490) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia my internet has been suffering drop outs all day, now I have no working TV or internet. Being told it's my equipment when it never is, it's getting old that excuse. I will apparently have to wait 3 days for "an engineer to come out" - I can't I have to go to work 😤

  • IamAbulShelby 𝔸𝕓𝕦𝕝|𝕊𝕙𝕖𝕝𝕓𝕪 (@IamAbulShelby) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia @BexInfante mine is now not working at all

  • gazbullsfan22 Gareth Rider-Smith (@gazbullsfan22) reported from Keighley, England

    @virginmedia Yeah, we have been charged wrong for the past two months even though the account was clear when we entered a new contract with you, now we been challenging it since August! Told manager will ring and then they don’t and then you charge us wrong, and then to make your customer

  • LovecloughKev Kevin Kitten (@LovecloughKev) reported from Rawtenstall, England

    @virginmedia Why is your WhatsApp chat so rubbish for the 4th time i have been kicked off. Terrible service

  • wightpie Wightpie (@wightpie) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia Also given that link is for postal marketing how exactly does that help with phone calls? As it stands your systems are non-compliant

  • LiamKenniford Liam Kenniford (@LiamKenniford) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia are you having problems in BB10 area?? Can’t get any internet access

  • gazbullsfan22 Gareth Rider-Smith (@gazbullsfan22) reported from Keighley, England

    @virginmedia We aren’t getting anywhere and you cut us off. This has to be worst service, if I performed as your advisor I would be sacked! How do we get to resolve the issue via the above method?

  • FloButcher84 strange little Flo (@FloButcher84) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia still no broadband in bb3 area since Thurs & update now says tomorrow for fix. Shocking customer service, why can't you tell your customers what is happening instead of saying an engineer is on the way on the updates, at least then we would know what to expect

  • WillBr1875 Will_BRFC.1875 (@WillBr1875) reported from Great Harwood, England

    @virginmedia Hi , I just wanted to ask if you could help me concerning my Internet at home , its not been working all weekend at all, it connects but nothing please can we sort the problem ASAP Thank You

  • FloButcher84 strange little Flo (@FloButcher84) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia Yeah I've seen that already thanks, but it's not going to help the kids with accessing homework online. no I am not on a B account as of yet as I have only just started out in the last week 😑 but even if I was on a B account it would still be off so doesn't make any difference

  • IanForrest10 Ian Forrest (@IanForrest10) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia Plugged in new Wi-Fi hub all good. Paired new remote with box but upgrade to box failed error code M63. Bot is all over place customer service rep basically non-engineer saying turn it off on again!

  • gazbullsfan22 Gareth Rider-Smith (@gazbullsfan22) reported from Keighley, England

    @virginmedia Still not helpful once we have paid what you told us after not applying your contract! Been told it’s the agents error on a record call and then saying it’s invalid, and prepared to offer new customer better than current! Massive complaint in writing your staff on phone shocking!

  • gazbullsfan22 Gareth Rider-Smith (@gazbullsfan22) reported from Keighley, England

    @virginmedia You haven’t applied the contract you sent out and the balance on our account is double the contract charge and your advice said pay in full to speak to someone if not it tough. And then said it would then be credited on the account. Your advisor are no help.

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • mrbrady72 Ken Adams ⛰️ (@mrbrady72) reported

    @skytv @skyhelpteam I have no issue with your service. I like the flexibility of being able to watch TV in multiple rooms in my home (something that @virginmedia can't, or won't do) but this disingenuous marketing campaign to get £5 off has opened up a whole can of worms. (8/9)

  • atombombbaby420 WittyTwart (@atombombbaby420) reported

    @virginmedia So see you in court or waste years trying to track me down... Your call but it'd be in your best interest to just close the account & write any debt off now coz whatever you do its just gonna keep costing you $ & you ain't ever getting anything from me!!!

  • Ebenezer68 Gareth Ebenezer 💙 (@Ebenezer68) reported

    @virginmedia I have spoken to numerous different teams in recent days - no one has contacted me for an update or to advise me of any issues, & nobody has taken ownership of the problem. Why should I have to chase continually? Very poor first impressions.

  • Martinf76606790 Martin fuller (@Martinf76606790) reported

    @virginmedia It’s was ordered 6 weeks ago I rang virgin media was then told it was never ordered and I am not allowed one I am m500 then I was told you can only have one if your on GIG 1

  • visho___ Vish Sahnan (@visho___) reported

    @virginmedia Not surprised! Just get him to call me and stop all this nonsense- how’s that for an idea! There’s clearly an issue as I’m STILL going on about it - yet you lot are hell bent on emails, forms, sending people@out to do an install!

  • AlliDeasy Alli Deasy (@AlliDeasy) reported

    @virginmedia can you confirm if there is n issue in the swords area ?

  • penny62132920 Lorraine Glover (@penny62132920) reported from Strines, England

    @virginmedia no service in sk6 8bt can you help

  • OfficialRUSHY Ryan (@OfficialRUSHY) reported

    Turns out they charge a rediculous amount for calls during the week! It took ages to try and resolve the issue, their customer service was very poor! They forgot to mention all their charges! I would not recommend joing virgin media if you are thinking about doing so.

  • Carl0sAlbert0 Duke Silver (@Carl0sAlbert0) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for this, not really helpful though. We just get an incessant number of calls from automated services, always hang up. Have registered with TPS but it's not stopping them. Wondered if you guys have any services/equipment for blocking? Besides getting rid of landline?

  • laineymacd Elaine MacDonald (@laineymacd) reported

    @virginmedia 4. Specifically asked for service to be activated on the 6th of April. Realised half way through the call this had been changed to the the 9th of March. He assured me this was fixed. It was confirmed later it wasn’t.
