  • DJLKP LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia 17 days with no TV service, finally resumed today after another manual restarts at this end. Any chance of a refund of half of this month? That's pretty dire.

  • didixon74 LadyDi (@didixon74) reported from Blyth, England

    @virginmedia please can some one contact me about my unresolved complaint. Genuinely worst service I have aver received, want to cancel my contract as I have lost all confidence in your service. Over 4 hours on the phone in the last week and still no further forward. Thanks

  • DJLKP LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia All on screen instructions followed, waited til I finished work today to check and it still doesn't get past 25% on the "searching for channels" page... Just taken the direct debit for a service which has been broken since 2.12.21...

    @bt_uk you have 45 mins to meet the 10-12 appointment. That I took the day off for. Defo looks like I'm going to be a @virginmedia customer soon.

  • scotty8461 Bob Scott (@scotty8461) reported from Shiremoor, England

  • PaulCraig24 Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia my Mam has been trying to sort her mobile out today. As she can’t remember her password or security answer, she has been unable to access her account to cancel it. Can you let me know what she can do?

  • PaulCraig24 Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Unfortunately not. The issue is she doesn’t receive any communication from Virgin apart from a monthly text with the link to her account. As she has no password etc she can’t access it

  • Rainbowztwit Sarah (@Rainbowztwit) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    .@virginmedia Broadband down - phone line states because of 'improvements'- not expected back until 3pm. Why was there no notice so I could arrange to work from alternate location? How do I get warning in future?

    @virginmedia more disgustingly slow speeds in NE27

  • Look_North Karl Ward (@Look_North) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I dread clicking that link. I fear being sucked down the rabbit hole of Ai customer service bots where I eventually give up until I'm exasperated by the next monthly bill increase.

    Hello @BarclaysUK, phoned you for ten successive days and it’s an hour long queue, been into branch, you can’t sort the issue, tried chat via the app, you don’t talk mortgages on the app. You are beginning to reach peak Virgin Media for incompetence, I’m sorry, this is appalling.

    @virginmedia They advised, reset, changing from 2.4 to 5. Then back again. Changing the settings on the account. Done this multiple times. Customer service hung up on me then I rang back again and was told I hung up on them. Awaiting a supervisor call. It’s never worked since installation

  • RobbieAali Robbie Aali (@RobbieAali) reported

    @virginmedia still haven’t fixed my issue. Called up once again to get a rubbish automated response now saying it will be fixed by tomorrow at 4:00pm when I’ve already been told it was going to be 4:00pm today then changed it to 9:00pm tonight and still nothing!! Worst provider.

  • RuthMcF1 Ruth McFarlane (@RuthMcF1) reported

    @virginmedia No phone call and still no emails! What do I have to do to get you to fix this or do I just give up?

  • KanibalThorne Kan Thorne (@KanibalThorne) reported

    @virginmedia That BQM is never going to be the full story though because even with 0.5MB/s upload a latency monitor will tell you that everything is OK. Definitely time to detail a forum post if that's the only means of support.

  • keif Keif (@keif) reported

    @virginmedia The wizard suggested I reboot my router, which I’ve done. Still happening in your network.
