John Wright (@juanfelipe1) reported from Leicestershire, England@simonnread @virginmedia I'm having the same issue. For the period of lockdown I could broadly rely on the signal to my home office. The last 2/3 months I haven't and I am constantly having to tether my mobile at my expense. The router hasn't moved and neither has my office. The service has just worsened
-
Tiger Sue (@MYLA5TROLO) reported from Blaby, England@virginmedia No, never been asked before. And the advisor said ‘within 4 hours’, engineer turned up today, I’m not there! He said they don’t work Sunday anyway. Advisor needs some re training.

Jess Adams (@JessLeighA) reported from Ketteringham, England@Jake_BHughes @virginmedia we had similar issue. they came when we were on holiday, no communication. we rang, were told they were coming yesterday to connect us, they didn’t arrive. told they’re coming today, didn’t arrive. spent 2 hours on the phone cancelling and was hung up on 3 times.
-
Jess Adams (@JessLeighA) reported from Ketteringham, England@ndarby90 @virginmedia we got hung up on 3 times trying to cancel. then they tried to sell us more things. can’t even comprehend it
-
John Wright (@juanfelipe1) reported from Leicestershire, England@virginmedia Or you could invite your customers to get in touch when out of contract or you could even tell us what deals are on offer to help us stay. I suspect you don't because you realise that inertia effects are high when it comes to changing broadband packages.
-
Amit Vaidya- #Author (Forever Roaming the World)🌏 (@av9901) reported from Loughborough, EnglandProductivity nearly at zero today because @virginmedia been off for nearly 24 hours 🙃 came on for 1 hour and now no service again! ...not I rely on the internet for work or anything 🤔 🙄🤬
-
Liz (@lizdixon77) reported from Mountsorrel, England@virginmedia constant problems with broadband over past few weeks, still not up to 500mb speed I should be. Calls to your call centre are pointless and no promised calls back received!
-
High End Chauffeurs of leicester (@HarjitDosanjh8) reported from Thurnby, England@virginmedia So whilst on the phone you put us through to get a dongle as an emergency and you tried to charge us £39! Wow the cheek of it!
-
Manraj (@Manraj_Virkk) reported from Leicestershire, England@virginmedia why does my wifi keep cutting out every 15 mins for about 2 mins then come back? Not great when I work from home and my meetings cut out midway through…
-
Wayne™ (@Dog_in_a_hat) reported from Leicestershire, England@virginmedia Why would I run a wired speed test when I have no wired appliances? I pay for a wifi service...
-
Matthew Walne MCSI (@MatthewWalne) reported from Mountsorrel, England@virginmedia The service I’m getting from Virgin is beyond appalling.
-
Dean Blavins (@DjDno) reported from Chadwell, EnglandAnyone else's #virginmedia internet down, came home from night shift to a red flashing light, down in my area ffs.
-
Safetypenfold (@SteveRiches4) reported from Leicestershire, England@virginmedia Still not working, still no contact from #virginmedia. If still no contact tomorrow, will have to change supplier in time for Christmas. Can you help?
-
Michael Truefitt (@michaeltruefitt) reported from Chadwell, England@virginmedia Are you planning on giving all your customers a discount for your constant broadband issues and not delivering what people are paying for? I see it was fixed earlier but it’s gone down once again in the last hour. It seems to be a daily occurrence now.
-
Robert Rixon (@RobertRixon) reported from Mountsorrel, England@virginmedia what is going on with your pitiful excuse for Internet connectivity in LE7. It hasn't been working since midnight, it distill doesn't work. Good job we're leaving you next month for a reliable supplier. #nointernetagain

June Tobin (@junie1954) reported@virginmedia our virgin media account has been locked for over three weeks. We are unable to log in ! We have spent long time on four phone calls. We have been promised calls back and resolution within 3-5working days. We are still waiting. We have been customers for 26 years
-
👾 (@Omersaeela) reportedHi @VirginMedia, my account has been locked and I’ve been trying to contact support for 2 days now with no response. Calls are not being answered at all. I urgently need help setting up my new WiFi device. This level of support is really disappointing. Have no option 👎
-
Dave #oafc (@Rusty_Barnacle) reported@virginmedia have to say I've really enjoyed spending over 15 hours on the phone and 10 of those on hold this week trying to sort my contract out because your salesperson didn't sort it properly. I've been trying to cancel for 2 hours this morning and been left on hold again
-
Sam (@sjr23) reported@virginmedia Useless. Moved house and sent self install kit. No socket. Fine. Help me then. Nope I’ve sat on hold three times for an hour so and then cut off and their chat bots also just keep cutting me off. I’m paying to be ignored for help a service that doesn’t work!
-
Dr. Paul J. Sullivan (@DrPJSullivan) reported@_HadleyGamble @virginmedia A common "customer service" complaint across many companies. Poor service is expected these days.
-
0x00000 (@cryptocyphereth) reported@tvrski @virginmedia Yeah. After disconnecting with their human support, I switched to another browser. This time, their web deal page worked, but the price was 50p higher per month than the one i initially seen. Still, it was significantly better than the offer the human agent gave me, so I just went ahead with the renewal.
-
Paul goodhall (@paulieg1066) reported@virginmedia got to be the world’s worst customer service been on hold for hours
-
Win the Farke Lot! 🏴 (@JoshLoweLufc) reported@Leaky23_ @virginmedia See this? Block this customer from any future services!
-
Christopher Knibb (@chris_knibb) reportedCould @virginmedia be the worst company to get in touch with? Trying to cancel my contract. Website isn’t working, chat facility is glitching and after two hours no one has answered the phone. Gone slightly crazy listening to the same jazz song over and over again!
-
Nick Riedlinger (@nickried) reported@virginmedia is there a way to renew my service without spending 3 hours on a Web chat and 2 and a half hours on phone calls because the price and content of my product keeps being changed by your various agents?
