    Cont… @virginhelp @virginmedia What can be so difficult that a COMPETENT team of engineers can’t fix in these days. The fact is we believe that virgin are a team of incompetents and the time has come for us all to leave Virgin. You are a disgrace.

    @virginmedia @Miss_SKM That is correct. What it does not cover is the persistent loss of service since August!!! #se7. Nor does it cover the absolute woeful customer services, and I use that phrase lightly, which @virginmedia is able to offer.

    @virginmedia @virginhelp Tries test but got a message it couldn't andnto try later. Not checked other service but you have a known issue re TV services on your status page

  • SandraS80775853
    Mary (@SandraS80775853) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Brilliant get out clause @virginmedia. What you fail to realise is that when your so called service goes down for hours at a time, over the course of time amounts to so, so so much more than 48 hours!! Roll on switching of providers.

    @virginmedia you have now postponed an installation scheduled for 4th November to Christmas Eve! Can’t see that happening. Maybe someone actually based in the UK might bother to contact me about this? Minded to cancel otherwise. Not acceptable service.

    @LPNevin @virginmedia I have the same problem, lost access to my email account

  • JeffSalmon
    Jeff Salmon (@JeffSalmon) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia As I have already told you-the service checker simply, and probably purposely, give us a fixed time of 4/5 hours after any time you look at it. In short virgin are just “moving goal posts“. Why are you unable to tell 100s of your subscribers what the problem is. Is it laziness?

    @virginmedia Do you, or could you make a TV box remote for the elderly? Tiny buttons with tinier symbols instead of words, black buttons on black body.... Almost impossible for some older people to use. An OAP version with larger coloured buttons would be such a help!

    @virginmedia, your app does not seem to think there's a problem with the internet in area 21. I think different. Can you check?!

    Brenda (@joybrenda) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia help why have you made it so difficult to log a landline vault on line. Need to call, as line out of order since friday. I am certain it's systems fault as display message I have seen on previous occasions.

  • BBLn15

    @virginmedia 14 hour wait for a response on your chat bot and I still haven’t passed security. That’s some service

  • joybrenda
    Brenda (@joybrenda) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia as you know PR is important to a company. If you want to look good on the public eye and social media. I think you should automatically credit all customers effected by service issues Friday and last night. Hopefully I going to be able to watch the final episode of

    @virginmedia Just spend over an hour on live chat/phone. Your service means we’ll be nearly two weeks without internet!

    @virginmedia have to be *the* most unreliable WiFi providers. 2 days with no internet and it’s still not working!

    kikassPhotography(official) 🇬🇧🇺🇦 (@KikassP) reported from London, England

    @thatmisterj @virginmedia I'm so sick of it I WILL be leaving Virgin. No-one picking up phone, Just saying there appears to be an intermittent fault. Well No **** Sherlock, I already know that. A dumb text telling me to do what I've already done. I'm not thick Virgin I just want the service I pay for.

    Helen Pinkers (@Barchetta66) reported from Islington, England

    @Whiskey_Mick @virginmedia We’ve just had the same experience - waited 8 days. Not a word from them. Not a human spoken to. If I had another choice I’d drop them. 0/10 for customer service.

  • paulstevenlewis
    Paul Lewis (@paulstevenlewis) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia how do I connect to London Underground WiFi now you have turned off your own hotspots? Hopefully you are not just depriving all Virgin Media customers of the service! Especially as you are putting all your prices up!

    @virginmedia Trying to phone about changing my contract but going round in circles on your robotic so called 'help' line. When it gives the option I want,I say 'YES' amazingly the robot says, Sorry I didn't get that! Is that because I want to remove some services?

    Adam Weston (@textmaniac78) reported

    @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia I got told once and I don't know if it works but if you ring up and upgrade to another package it's classed as a new contract so you can cancel within 14 days maybe worth looking into doing that

    My Internet has been intermittent over the last 3 weeks. @virginmedia engineer was supposed to come out today but never turned up. Turns out he signed the job off as completed even tho he didn't turn up. Internet still going off and on.

    10 years. 50M+ users. £11M+ revenue impact. Citibank. Mercedes. Sky. Virgin Media. NatWest. I spent a decade fixing conversion problems at companies most startups would kill to work with. what I learned: the same broken patterns show up everywhere - onboarding that loses people in the first 60 seconds, pricing pages that confuse instead of convert, signup flows with friction nobody ever fixed. now I build the same systems for funded startups.

    Tired of paying for multiple subscriptions like Sky, BT Sport, Virgin Media, Now TV, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Apple TV+? I have got the solution. This IPTV @8K_World_IPTV6 offers: • 300,000+ live channels • 65,000+ VODs

    @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia That can’t be right. Send a letter complaining the contract has been frustrated by the lack of service
