  • wilsmadein85 Nathan Wilson (@wilsmadein85) reported from Boultham, England

    @virginmedia Every time i ring we get told to visit the website then the phone goes dead. And your still taking money for my dad's mobile! I'm amazed how incompetent your services are, do you get special training so you can be this crap?

  • RichardFarrell8 Richard Farrell (@RichardFarrell8) reported from Carlton on Trent, England

    Looking for advice. Trying to cancel @virginmedia as they keep saying I owe them £168 but they should have credited me £70 but they have debited me instead. Made several calls over the past weeks to no joy. Logged a formal complaint to no avail. Advice is much appreciated 🤯

  • etheridg john etheridge (@etheridg) reported from Lincoln District, England

    @virginmedia,I'm John etheridge,I've rung you twice now,yesterday+today+you've cut me off,this is disgusting!not v.professional,not keen about yr firm anymore,customer service is crap,please cancel my broadband/,phone now+cancel coming to me on the 15th of this month!I'm annoyed

  • mickyrichards27 Micky Richards (@mickyrichards27) reported from Lincoln District, England

    @virginmedia I've had it with your Internet. WiFi is atrocious. Disconnected and stored away. Getting sky tomorrow. Can't cancel virgin as in contract. Even had a new router...

  • oh_so_boatie Jessica Boatright (@oh_so_boatie) reported from Lincoln District, England

    Not a great start to Monday - @virginmedia is down, mobile hotspot not working, and as a freelancer who doesn't get paid when I don't work, losing much needed income while things are ££££ is very irritating 😞

  • EmcdNotts Erin McDaid (@EmcdNotts) reported from Carlton on Trent, England

    @virginmedia Going round in circles using 'support' options listed on App. Our broadband has been intermittent since yesterday afternoon. Restarted hub 3 times. Test still showing intermittent fault. Why do you make it so difficult to contact someone to check it's being sorted?

  • EmcdNotts Erin McDaid (@EmcdNotts) reported from Carlton on Trent, England

    @virginmedia Thanks - will do if it persists but it would be so much easier to have live help or an email link rather than focusing on pushing the 'community' to help ourselves.

  • oh_so_boatie Jessica Boatright (@oh_so_boatie) reported from Lincoln District, England

    @virginmedia Yes, issues showing. I've had to go to a cafe to work - so now as well as lost hours of income I'm down bus fare and refreshments so that I can use the the WiFi.

  • Pogit Richard Adams (@Pogit) reported from Lincoln District, England

    @virginmedia That’s not true that why they now allow calls to other urgent services for priority vulnerable customers such as gas, water electric police and medical urgent but not emergency numbers the trouble is this doesn’t allow calls to hone help and life lines though they should!

  • my_minxy MyMinxy (@my_minxy) reported from Lincoln District, England

    @virginmedia on the phone now for 3rd time as get cut off, no internet and NO HELP, it’s been over 24hrs now, I need the internet

  • Pogit Richard Adams (@Pogit) reported from Lincoln District, England

    @virginmedia The only response is they have given up and will let me out of my contract early. Not a great response for a customer of well over 20 years

  • Pogit Richard Adams (@Pogit) reported from Lincoln District, England

    @virginmedia The biggest problem is you do t know how they work, installers don’t know how to check they work and more importantly no one seems to understand why they’re NEEDED! They will be why someone dies and Virgin WILL be named in the courts at a guilty party!

  • my_minxy MyMinxy (@my_minxy) reported from Lincoln District, England

    @virginmedia Engineer came Friday, still no service on the phone for 10 hrs to 18 people Saturday, you closed my complaint with £10 credit that I never agreed to, yet still no service waiting for another engineer… my complaint IS NOT RESOLVED @virginmedia

  • Davith03257086 Davith (@Davith03257086) reported from Lincoln District, England

    @virginmedia any chance of you sorting out the broadband issue in and around Lincoln. It's been going on for a couple of hours

  • mickyrichards27 Micky Richards (@mickyrichards27) reported from Lincoln District, England

    @virginmedia Yes. I never seem to get anywhere with that. That's why I called.

  • Pogit Richard Adams (@Pogit) reported from Lincoln District, England

    @virginmedia I’m still getting Mail saying it needs updating, but more importantly installers and CS need to ensure they’re installed correctly and why they’re needed. It’s not just for 999. 999 can take hours to attend Jane down the street can be here in minutes.

  • Pogit Richard Adams (@Pogit) reported from Lincoln District, England

    @virginmedia So what your saying is your doing the minimum required by the regulator, and failing your vulnerable customers. As previously stated VM will be mentioned in courts when people are pressing their emergency assist numbers and get a VM message saying their call can’t be connected!

  • wilsmadein85 Nathan Wilson (@wilsmadein85) reported from Gainsborough, England

    @virginmedia Tried ringing at the weekend and kept being sent to the website. Your customer service is as much use as a chocolate fire guard

  • Matthew56242945 Matthew Cooper (@Matthew56242945) reported from Carlton on Trent, England

    Virgin Media fixed the phone issue, a local fault, so I rang Royal Mail to get my money back. The phone went out again during the call. If I was a person with anxiety and depression issues this might be a major problem. Oh wait, I am a person.....

  • mickyrichards27 Micky Richards (@mickyrichards27) reported from Lincoln District, England

    @virginmedia I need to talk to a human... my WiFi is s**t Tried customer services all I get is automated push 1 if yes etc etc

  • WantageScot Alistair Menzies (@WantageScot) reported

    @virginmedia This is getting ridiculous, all of your services are down yet again in OX12. What is it this time?? 😡😡

  • jonhbugle Johnathan Bugle (@jonhbugle) reported

    @virginmedia I was speaking to my friends on "discord" and i can only use the app while on 4G, it doesnt work and just says "connecting" when i try to access discord through my wifi virgin media what have you done!!!!

  • TalkingMovies3 Talking@TheMovies (@TalkingMovies3) reported

    @DanielAmesYT @virginmedia Same here since yesterday, there is a problem, it gets fixed and then a few hours later it goes out again.

  • Ant_Not_a_Num Anthony Martin (@Ant_Not_a_Num) reported

    @Del_101 Try a different device on that same port/cable. If issue stays, it’s not your virgin media box.

  • Iangermany1 Ian germany (@Iangermany1) reported

    @virginmedia As we speak has gone off again. Is off more then it’s is on. You increase your prices for a service that great worse all the time

  • HavenDK Michael Chessell (@HavenDK) reported

    @Sneak_666 @virginmedia I’ll jump on this. Left virgin due to the prices going up and not needing the whole service now. The retention team called me and offered me exactly what I needed (broadband only m200) for £22. Vodafone had sold me 50-60mbps for £19 so thought it was a great deal.

  • dimtim22294028 dim tim (@dimtim22294028) reported

    @virginmedia internet up and down all day but nothing showing wrong on your site. Seeing Seeing more people saying the same what's going on ?? Thanks

  • 1982Starscream Starscream (@1982Starscream) reported

    @virginmedia @O2 @itvtakeaway How about fixing your **** internet first?

  • NotAbhimanyu Abhimanyu Parikh (@NotAbhimanyu) reported

    @virginmedia @VirginMediaCorp @Ofcom 40+ calls and still nothing. Signed up in October 2021, and it's nearly been nearly 6 months and no services have ever started. Have been requesting help on your customer service and they just keep making new excuses.
