    @virginmedia I received it back in May/June time, I already logged a complaint with the person who promised me they had sort it because of your absolutely abysmal customer service and still nearly another month later, moving into October I still have not received my refund! Coming into 6 mths

  • Jackson_SCFC
    Jackson (@Jackson_SCFC) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia Again, I appreciate what you're saying, but similarly I've had an engineer to my house and he said that within the parameters of his test, that my connection should be better than average. This is an issue with how my connection is being routed.

    Could someone @virginmedia please help. I cannot access my ntlworld emails. This happened a few weeks ago when I was shut out of my account at your end.

    @virginmedia Having to pay an early disconnection fee because you don't run services there is brilliant customer service 😂

    @virginmedia No no known faults he was very surprised when I went out initially as he thought it was an isolated incident with next door

  • Kristian_Turner
    Kristian Turner (@Kristian_Turner) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia Yes and says that the estimated fix time is 22:00 for all three!

  • Jackson_SCFC
    Jackson (@Jackson_SCFC) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia 200 down from what I can remember, I'm at work right now so I can't check but the speed isn't the issue. Also, I said "should" because based on his test, it's an above average connection, but in practice, it's wildly inconsistent in terms of ping, packet loss/timing.

    @virginmedia We had a box fitted yesterday and the signal just isn’t working, it drops ever other minute or so and we can only get service in the room where the box is

    @virginmedia £50 more for the same package seems unfair to your loyal existing customer's

    Spend hours waiting for someone to answer @virginmedia then they just tell me ‘wait till tomorrow and it will work’. And it never does, cancellation never sounded so appealing

    Simon Rees (@si_rees) reported from Margam, Wales

    @virginmedia My wife rang (as account in her name) eventually got through, and an engineer is expected in next few hours as I connection at all now!!Poor/no mobile signal at home as booster box is connected to your router, so even more inconvenience right now.

    Benjamin Woodcock (@TheBenWoodcock) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @virginmedia im getting really annoyed with your mobile service as I cannot receive any automated text messages (which makes 2FA for some stuff impossible). This is an ongoing issue. Also unable to get through to 150

    @virginmedia a lot of good your mobile service is when I cant call 111 from my phone

    @virginmedia thank you for keeping me on hold for the last 35 minutes then disconnecting me. I really didn’t have anything better to do on a Friday evening. Useless customer service continues

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • GazzaAdams
    Gary Adams (@GazzaAdams) reported

    @virginmedia I need this escalated as a formal complaint regarding fault **F012421201**, because the information Virgin Media is providing has now become demonstrably contradictory. At **08:01 today, 20 August**, Virgin Media told me: “Our engineer is on site and they're working to fix the problem.” The estimated repair time given was **18:00 today**. At **15:27 today**, after I have been without service for most of the day, Virgin Media has now told me: “We have identified the problem and an engineer is on their way.” The estimated repair time has also been moved to **14:10 tomorrow, 21 August**. These statements cannot both accurately describe the progress of the same fault. An engineer who was already **on site and working on the problem at 08:01** cannot subsequently be **“on their way” at 15:27** without some explanation. I fully understand that a complex network fault may take longer to repair than initially anticipated, and that estimated restoration times can change. That is not my complaint. My complaint is that Virgin Media is repeatedly providing contradictory factual information about the status of the repair, while I remain without the service I am paying for. I consequently have no confidence in the estimated restoration times being provided. Please therefore: 1. **Log this as a formal complaint and provide me with the complaint reference.** 2. Confirm the actual current status of fault **F012421201**, rather than repeating the automated status information. 3. Explain how an engineer could be reported as on site and working at 08:01 but “on their way” at 15:27. 4. Confirm when the outage affecting my service officially began and that the full period of loss of service has been recorded against my account. 5. Confirm what automatic compensation I will be entitled to for the complete loss of service, where applicable. I have retained screenshots of the outage updates and their timestamps. Please respond to the specific points above rather than sending me another automated repair estimate.

    @virginmedia About a month ago, you "upgraded" my broadband line You told me to plug my landline into my router, I did this and the phone stopped working. None of your crappy automated solutions have fixed this. Please tell me when ou are going to fix it or how to switch provider

  • colonbarbarian
    Captain Howdy (@colonbarbarian) reported

    @Dratcliffe1986 @virginmedia @ExeterBub You need to first register the outage through Virgin media itself. I do this everytime there is an outage. Virgin will usually then give you any compensation, if they don't, then report to Ofcom.

    @virginmedia hello, seem to be having some drops in our broadband over the last 48 hours. I’ve followed all steps to reset, unplug etc but still not working as intended. Any help please? Thank you.

    @virginmedia @virginmedia how long before you respond please. If i need a new tv box then it needs to be ordered asap or are you going to refund me for the days i am paying for a tv service i cant use. Thanks

    @virginmedia @YouMadBruv3r How long does it take @virginmedia ??? Mines been down for weeks, right at the start of the season. Just done the service status check that you recommended for a fix date and it doesn't work 🤬🤬

    @danielarf21 I’m with you on Virgin Media not showing it anymore, really disappointing tbh as there was a fanbase for it. But willing to give this series a go, the trailer isn’t the worst. People saying it’s “Ai Slop” need to chill, unfortunately it’s gonna be the norm for a lot of shows

    @virginmedia Awful timing for a software update of @SkySports All over the weekend 🙄 Hope there is going to be some reduction in my bill?

    @CliveR39 @virginmedia @Ofcom I lost tv service before the world cup started for 16 days, I was told I would recieve automatic compensation but didnt recieve any discount, had to raise a complaint and they told me they would offer £20 as goodwill gesture because I didn't have total loss of service.
