    @virginmedia hey virgin media - when I'm told a final figure on my account and find out the agent lied and gave me a higher figure and then your complaint team tell me not to worry it'll be sorted. My contract finished on 30/3 but you've still taken a full month's payment (1/2)

    Shaun Calvert (@Shaunelious) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia Red button for virgin, which I know isn’t true as I’ve used it before. I asked to raise complaints several times to which they just ignored before eventually saying they would raise one. He then said it was raised. Never known a complaint raised without someone describing it…

  • DanielHill21
    Daniel Hill (@DanielHill21) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia So why do you not have a chat system? I work in a similar industry and we are able to help our customer through chat, phone, online, social media it’s crazy a company of the size of virgin media can’t accommodate us. Not having a go at you I’m just disappointed in the system

  • rachsclarke
    rachel (@rachsclarke) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia can you confirm your sky sports red button will be working tonight for the Boro match as there is always problems with it, as if it’s not I’ll purchase the match with a different provider instead. Plenty of notice here for an 19:45 kick off

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • TruthAsylum121
    (Re)Search & Destroy (@TruthAsylum121) reported

    THREAD 9 — COMMUNITY CALLING AND THE MONEY BEHIND THE DEVICES The Community Calling programme gives us another important part of the story. Virgin Media O2 and Hubbub have worked together to collect and redistribute unwanted smartphones. Migrant Help has been one of the organisations receiving devices for asylum seekers and refugees. Then there is the Tech Lending Community Fund. The first phase was worth £400,000 and supported charity partners to establish tablet-lending hubs. The projects included organisations such as Thames Reach, the Kurdish and Middle Eastern Women’s Organisation, Willowacre Trust, Refuge and Leeds Refugee Forum, with tablets and O2 data being made available through the programme. In Swansea, around 700 donated phones were distributed through a Community Calling project, with O2 providing 12 months of free data, calls and texts. Swansea Asylum Seekers Support made 127 referrals to the scheme in 2021. Its records also show £8,175 spent on phone top-ups, covering 1,160 £10 top-ups. There was another £2,400 provided by Hay Brecon Talgarth Sanctuary for Refugees. The funding came through organisations including the Moondance Foundation, Comic Relief/SCVS Emergency Fund and Welsh Government/SCVS Integration Care Fund. This is where the investigation starts moving beyond technology companies. There is philanthropic money. There is council money. There is Government money. There is corporate money. And there are charities distributing the resulting technology.

    @virginmedia terminate my contract, I’m not paying any exit fees- your company, service and everything about you is terrible

  • dearbrit_ian
    Brit Ian (@dearbrit_ian) reported

    @SandyofSuffolk You really are out of touch, unsurprisingly. Virgin Media getting fined £28 million for preventing customers from cancelling their subscription shows that this is endemic. Many businesses insist that you contact them via telephone to cancel, but they make it impossible to reach them via telephone. These days, many recurring payments are automated against your bank card so you cannot cancel it via the app, you have to cancel the actual card.

    @dkitwood virginmedia customer service is the worst . I ditched them a couple of years ago but they really made if difficult

  • BrophersX
    Brophers (@BrophersX) reported

    @saltyy_savage @virginmedia Dude, they are on one today it seems. My colleague got an email last night basically saying "we're doing works, no service for you until end of the day on Friday"

  • MrSaffron
    Andrew Ferguson OBE (@MrSaffron) reported

    @WeAreOpenreach @NeilJac74898351 @virginmedia In this case it looks like Virgin media has its fttp networks also available via nexfibre but a couple of addresses they don’t serve do exist. If at one of those then retailers on Openreach network are the way.
