  • robbo_1962 Peter Robinson (@robbo_1962) reported from Dumbarton, Scotland

    @virginmedia I’ve done all that and it always says “no issues” but often when you get through on the phone you’re told there are and engineers are working on it. I’m just fed up of having to go through all the tests and restarts every time I want to record something or watch catch-up tv

  • garydg7 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Gary ScottishEagle 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@garydg7) reported from Greenock, Scotland

    @virginmedia ... my wife who has authority to speak on her account on her behalf has been unsuccessfully trying to get you to once again resolve the issue. As it stands, we have been advised someone will be in touch within 24 hours. Unacceptable!! My mother in law lives alone

  • garydg7 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Gary ScottishEagle 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@garydg7) reported from Greenock, Scotland

    @virginmedia Your customer service is absolutely shocking. You have cut off a vulnerable pensioner twice in the past 72 hours for reasons of your own error, leaving her with no means of communication whilst apparently being unable to fix the issue for 24 hours. Shocking! 🤬

  • robbo_1962 Peter Robinson (@robbo_1962) reported from Dumbarton, Scotland

    @virginmedia I’m paying for 200mbps and sometimes I achieve that, like now, but I still can’t watch @BBCiPlayer without constant buffering. This “local” issue was supposed to be sorted. Seriously considering other options to watch @BBCMOTD

  • garydg7 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Gary ScottishEagle 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@garydg7) reported from Greenock, Scotland

    @virginmedia Yes, and reinstated her service around lunchtime today. Come 5pm, they cut her off again!!

  • robbo_1962 Peter Robinson (@robbo_1962) reported from Dumbarton, Scotland

    @virginmedia Just tried that, still not working

  • robbo_1962 Peter Robinson (@robbo_1962) reported from Dumbarton, Scotland

    @virginmedia I just turned everything off at the mains and restarted it all and that seems to have sorted it. Don’t know why I didn’t think to try that before. Thanks for your help and suggestions 👍

  • AmandaM2282 AmandaM2282 (@AmandaM2282) reported from Alexandria, Scotland

    @virginmedia I was advised to apply for the indemnity off a supervisor no one said it would be added on at a later date and the whole reason it happened was because an advisor on the chat told me I would have no charges to pay in feb this is my problem too much Erin info and no one fixing it

  • annemclean66 Anne McLean (@annemclean66) reported from Dumbarton, Scotland

    @virginmedia How do I get through to a human to discuss a problem with my neighbours Virgin account?

  • cocobrown1973 Coco Brown (@cocobrown1973) reported from Dumbarton, Scotland

    @virginmedia Yeah I got it sorted however 1hr on a phone line at 30p per minute is not cheap taking a full hour to sort something that is simple is very poor customer service especially for loyal customers

  • N07WOD J No (@N07WOD) reported from Inchinnan, Scotland

    @virginmedia the worst company I know to deal with, information puts you on a loop and doesn’t provide what you need. Beyond rude agents. #raging

  • mickfiftyfive Mike (@mickfiftyfive) reported from Dumbarton, Scotland

    @virginmedia So channel's 1-5 are back up but all other channel's are still showing error cod (v53), whats the issue @virginmedia ???

  • AmandaM2282 AmandaM2282 (@AmandaM2282) reported from Alexandria, Scotland

    @virginmedia Long story short I was told information that was not correct claimed my money back after being advised to do so the money then has been added back on to my next bill and after endless chats emails complaint forms promises of a call back I’m still waiting to get this resolved

  • garydg7 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Gary ScottishEagle 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@garydg7) reported from Greenock, Scotland

    @virginmedia Not only that, when pointing out to your CS team that the account holder was a vulnerable person, my wife was advised "what do you want me to do with that?" By the operator. Shameful. Fix her issue and stop cutting her off for no reason!!

  • BETTYLAROO Steven Beattie (@BETTYLAROO) reported from Linwood, Scotland

    @virginmedia YouTube app on V6 box has had playback issues for months. Used to be black screen flashing up for a second at beginning of every video, today it's black screen throughout video and only audio. Not good 🙄

  • poynty73 Neil Poynton (@poynty73) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for the suggestion, not sure why rebooting would help as other channels have sound, but regardless, sound has magically started again on the E4 HD channel (with no reboot)

  • NathanLewis1987 Nathan Lewis (@NathanLewis1987) reported

    @virginmedia No details on where I need to send my complaint in writing to head office

  • NathanLewis1987 Nathan Lewis (@NathanLewis1987) reported

    @virginmedia Well 9 months to change my title to mx from mr kept telling me to send you info but I need to raise a complaint and then tells me I don’t need to send it but then refuses to raise a complaint and I need to send all ID in but can’t confirm if an photo copy will do or not

  • SteffanDiehl steffan diehl (@SteffanDiehl) reported

    @virginmedia There is no problem with the Internet as I have it hardwired into my games console and that works perfectly. The problem is the WiFi keeps dropping out. I could be sat right beside the router and it still drops out

  • nikuksoc Nikki Main Family & Funeral Celebrant (@nikuksoc) reported

    @virginmedia So that's since 07.45a.m. this morning when I received the standard message asking if I still wanted help from an issue that starting from Tuesday.

  • Fionnominal Fionntán Clarke (@Fionnominal) reported

    @virginmedia in getting fed up with the bad service in getting and my inability to use the website to check and report a fault.

  • BigHandLeon BigHand (@BigHandLeon) reported

    @virginmedia I have been on a WhatsApp conversation since 10:15 today and getting passed around and left waiting. This is causing me unnecessary stress and impacting on my poor health. It’s disgusting!

  • cemccleary72 Carolyn McCleary (@cemccleary72) reported

    @virginmedia I can't. I tried that and the website won't allow it as the bank account is registered in a different name & address to where I want the service & the advisors English was not sufficient to understand my request.

  • l0zzie88 Lauren Robertson (@l0zzie88) reported

    @virginmedia after speaking to 17 different support people and over 7 hours of time on the phone trying to get our IP blocking issue fixed we are at a loss. How can we cancel, we’re at the end of our patience now.
