  • RUSSELL91779006 RUSSELL WALKER (@RUSSELL91779006) reported from Colchester, England

    @IpMcdonald Snap...the same for me, but with virgin media. Absolutely abysmal service.

  • BrunningLee Lee Brunning (@BrunningLee) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia Look I've had two days of total crap from you guys. I just don't have the energy to deal with this anymore. You've took money off me wen u shouldn't. Because of covid I'm on less money so an extra 26 quid is massive to us,but all your guys keep doing is fobbing us off. 😠

  • rachelfortnum Rachel Fortnum-Adams (@rachelfortnum) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia since Christmas our WiFi has been disgustingly bad. A few weeks ago I called yourselves and spent almost 2 hours on the phone. I upgraded our WiFi at home to the best possible WiFi we could have and yet it’s still shockingly bad. I’ve never known such shoddy service

  • rachelfortnum Rachel Fortnum-Adams (@rachelfortnum) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia Eventually but the issue had taken 4 days to resolve which is shocking. Your customer service is the worst I’ve ever come across #virginmedia

  • gunsmoke70 Richard Martin (@gunsmoke70) reported from Manningtree, England

    @7pudinis @virginmedia Was signal issue that originated from the Initial install yrs ago, bent wire in outside box, I guess over the yrs degraded till no signal, all fixed now

  • kennythekilt kenny wilson (@kennythekilt) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia Your staff should put the customer first pass the enquiry to another team member take break late or offer a call back

  • sjslfcforever Si Smith (@sjslfcforever) reported from Felixstowe, England

    @virginmedia how come I have to reset my broadband router daily to get a signal, zero reception in the upstairs bedroom and yes we have a virgin signal booster, devices constantly need reconnecting and can’t speak to a human on the phone surprise surprise. #disappointed

  • steevXIII Steve Tovey (@steevXIII) reported from Colchester, England

    Anyone else have a problem with All4 app on @virginmedia Can access the menu / home page but anytime I try to actually watch a programme I get a black screen & 4 dots endlessly blinking, as if buffering, but the show never, eeeevveerrr appears... On Googling, seems common issue?

  • rachelfortnum Rachel Fortnum-Adams (@rachelfortnum) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia I am actually so disgusted with your customer service for our WiFi that I have no words. How many times do I need to contact you? I’ve been a customer for 22 years and I’ve never experienced such a bad service #sortitout #virginmedia

  • liam_garwood grwd 🦅 (@liam_garwood) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia why is it so hard to get in contact with you? I can’t start a live chat and when I ring and think I’m getting some progress you tell me to look online and hang up????

  • positivesarah Sarah 'Morgenmuffel' Clark (@positivesarah) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia Down again....

  • gunsmoke70 Richard Martin (@gunsmoke70) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia what’s the issue with the service in colchester CO2 area

  • kennythekilt kenny wilson (@kennythekilt) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia Not worth it if you cared it would have been dealt with I will leave and tell everyone and anyone to avoid your NOT customer caring company

  • BrunningLee Lee Brunning (@BrunningLee) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia Who knows but certain people with in your team have been very flippant about our situation and trying to palm us off with a 20pound credit. This is nowhere near acceptable considering the stress and upset your so called customer service team has put us through.

  • matt40k Matt Smith (@matt40k) reported from Ipswich District, England

    Ok so, virgin media router kinda sucks, if I use the Bt SmartHub 2, it would basically just be a Wi-fi access point, so would need a like a rpi for dhcp Or I could just buy a google nest Wi-fi or something ubiquiti

  • Grovesy71 Darren Grove (@Grovesy71) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia contract changed last year, advised incorrectly by advisor, discussed with call centre & complained via your complaints procedure - no calls received to date to address from now over 1 month from complaint date #shockingservice for a loyal customer

  • steevXIII Steve Tovey (@steevXIII) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia Hi. Please read the thread. One App doesn't work properly, my TV box is generally fine. From a quick Google I can see it is a problem for other people with Virgin Media TiVo boxes too where the @All4 app doesn't load programmes. I can access the app and all the menu screens.

  • WiseOlMurph Murph (@WiseOlMurph) reported from Ipswich District, England

    Anyone in Ipswich struggling with Virgin Media speeds currently? It’s awful paying all this money for absolute shite speeds.

  • 5tephen8arrett stephen (@5tephen8arrett) reported

    @virginmedia 07585045998. Still not working, still loose cables hanging out in the rain, still amazed at the difference between Virgin's promises and the reality...

  • TomD42974799 Tom D (@TomD42974799) reported

    @virginmedia You're internet is so bad it made me break my pen, so you owe me a pen.

  • clairebelmont Claire Belmont (@clairebelmont) reported

    @virginmedia As mentioned. I have done everything. There is no service issue on the page. After depending 1 on the phone waiting for customer service to cancel my contract, the line dropped just when I got to them. Surprise Surprise. How bad is this going to get?

  • hughtorpey Hugh Torpey (@hughtorpey) reported

    @virginmedia No, just venting at you because I don't want to be rude to your colleagues (I've spoken to 4 of them today so really starting to feel part of the team). I would like to know how eir were pulled up in front of the government, and you guys got away with it.

  • johnylowe RubberJohny (@johnylowe) reported

    @virginmedia I get that there are naturally delays due to the current pandemic... but 3 weeks now I have been trying to gain help from your customer service department yet so far. Nothing. Do you think this is fair?

  • FionaB23928949 FionaB (@FionaB23928949) reported

    @virginmedia That number couldn't help its for bereavement 😡

  • Boo_Global Amy Rothwell (@Boo_Global) reported

    @ilona_alcock @virginmedia We’re having an awful time with Virgin. We’re fed up of ringing them so we only do it when the WiFi goes down for any length of time, but it’s often incredibly slow and drops through the day. We’re having to use our 4G for work because it’s so unreliable!

  • ClaireSimo24 Claire S (@ClaireSimo24) reported

    @jlbax1970 @virginmedia @EE Seriously jo! I got through finally and then got cut off!!!! So I went through as a ‘new customer’ and someone answered after 3 minutes!! All cancelled now but - is it too early for a gin?!

  • citizen_blue Neil Fanning (@citizen_blue) reported

    @LemLems @virginmedia I have an ongoing complaint with them too. They are awful.

  • TomD42974799 Tom D (@TomD42974799) reported
