-
Gabor (@GaborPfalzer) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia After the two hour chat, it was finally resolved. Wife have arranged an internet connection to our new flat before this(with Virgin btw), took 5 minutes. Lot of hoops to jump through to cancel, when I just wanted to get it over with. No offers, just cancel.
-
Mo-Mo (@ImaginaryCard) reported from Hammersmith, England@virginmedia down yet again. Where's the refund for all the hours lost with no WiFi connection?
-
Shaz (@Housewife6) reported from Hammersmith, England@virginmedia I have made a formal complaint and i already have the connect app, it does not help me!
-
Gabor (@GaborPfalzer) reported from Kensington, England@BigupJeff @virginmedia Yeah, unfortunately. We are okay with the service, that’s why we kept it in the new one, but the customer service is a joke. Had @Hyperoptic once, was absolutely brilliant. Too bad it’s rarely available.
-
Joseph Machta⭐⭐ (@pepemac27) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia hey there. Our broadband has been down since yesterday and the estimated fix time keeps being put later and later. My wife is working from home today so it's pretty impossible. Please could we have some sort of replacement dongle in the mean time?
-
Antony Patrick Assoc (@antonypatrickuk) reported from Hammersmith, England@virginmedia I’ve now raised an official complaint! The @virginmedia customer service team were useless! I will be terminating my contract with you ASAP and will advise everyone I know about the level of service you offer #virginmedia #poorcustomerservice
-
MoMo (@ImaginaryCard) reported from Hammersmith, England@virginmedia The service status always says its fine but the Internet goes down at this time every single night. #virginmediadown
-
MoMo (@ImaginaryCard) reported from Hammersmith, EnglandThe audacity of #virginmedia to send a letter to me stating that their prices are going up in March after months of rubbish service... 🚮
-
Hadi Taheri (@persianuk2017) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia i have been loyal customer and i asked if i change my package to phone and broadband as its far more affordable for me seeing the prices. You refused offering me what is on offer i find at absolute ridiculous and unvalued therefore requested cancellation.

Antony Patrick Assoc (@antonypatrickuk) reported from Hammersmith, England@virginmedia That’s my point!!! your text says you’re coming today, your system says Thursday!

-
Nicky Beale (@NickyJBeale) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia not very happy with the service from Virgin Media! After looking to leave them last week they promised to improve the WiFi and install a 2nd box. Well we have never and now they want to install the 2nd box in a MONTH and a HALF! #poorservice #virginmedia

Alessandro Ferrara (@iamAleFerrara) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia Hello there, it’s past 12pm and we’re still without any Internet connection (and getting desperate now). I’d like to stress that this isn’t an intermittent signal issue but a total loss of service as we’ve been having no Internet connection AT ALL since last Friday. HELP PLEASE!
-
Dr Andreas Krieg (@andreas_krieg) reported from Hammersmith, England@virginmedia It still comes and goes. Absolutely unreliable to work from home when I get kicked out of conference calls because the broadband is down. This is very poor after almost 12 hours! #WorkFromHome

Kaiser Soothsays (@_SonOfTheDesert) reportedHey, @virginmedia, I don’t have a problem with @SkySports. What I DO have a problem with is channels stuttering. Will the software update solve that?
-
Craig Sutton (@CraigSu66242369) reported@virginmedia @alexand979677 Customers shouldn't have to compromise. We have all paid for a service which we are currently not getting. It's a disgrace really considering the cost. Maybe time for a change.

Robin Hall (@RobinHall115) reported@APTSArchive @virginmedia Beware the spam help page that has added posts. Unfortunately a too common trend. Our rail operator is frequently being spammed on its customer account.

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.
