  • lukeredpath Luke Redpath (@lukeredpath) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia @ruskin147 It’s also affecting your 4G mobile data service so every time your broadband goes down so does the 4G and we lose all of our internet access.

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

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

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

    @virginmedia Nope didn’t hear back from them I wasn’t wasting my time and your poor customer service

  • 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

  • FolkardSimon Simon Folkard (@FolkardSimon) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia I managed to get through on the other number as i had forgotten my old account no, the bill is paid and i now have an installation date. I appreciate your help.

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

    @virginmedia I've been having this issue continuously for a couple of months and they are still continuing. Yes.

  • 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

  • FolkardSimon Simon Folkard (@FolkardSimon) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia I have something called a TP Adapter? in my room. When it is able to come through that the signal is brilliant, but for some reason it is not coming through right now.

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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?

  • FolkardSimon Simon Folkard (@FolkardSimon) reported from Colchester, England

    @krista_leia I don't know what to believe anymore, he told me on Sunday that Virgin Media were comping to fix it but it's now so bad i cannot even connect it. I can get wi-fi installed here just for me, but you usually need a phone line and the cost is going to be fairly high.

  • leezaloops Leeza Morley (@leezaloops) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia Absolutely disgusting service from Virgin. Rang to get refund for sky sports since lockdown and no help whatsoever. And I can’t make a complaint apparently as it will be automatically closed!!

  • 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

  • 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

  • lizdeoli liz de oliveira (@lizdeoli) reported from Sudbury, England

    @virginmedia Amazing how you won’t sort out the problem with the account holder but you’ll speak to someone else about the account without the account holder’s permission!

  • leezaloops Leeza Morley (@leezaloops) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia No I didn’t and I don’t remember receiving one. I have checked all my emails from you and nothing. I rang a couple of days ago to ask for a discount and was basically told to get lost. I spend £100 a month with you guys and was shocked at the service. Account name Lisa Morley.

  • ColletteLynn_ ¢σℓℓєттє ℓуηη мσσяє♥ (@ColletteLynn_) reported from Great Horkesley, England

    @Howard_Norton @Virgin I haven’t even managed to get through to @virginmedia yet despite multiple attempts and long holds to even comment on their actual customer service. The fact they are trying to charge me for something I have cancelled and haven’t used is beyond the joke already! #poorservice

  • FolkardSimon Simon Folkard (@FolkardSimon) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia Sorry i will not be able to as it is the landlord who is the customer. Thanks though i appreciate it.

  • lukeredpath Luke Redpath (@lukeredpath) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia That was a wired connection. It downloaded in the end (all 92GB), I will keep a lookout for issues.

    ******* #virginmedia is yet again down. Thankfully I’m going to the cinema shortly to watch #BulletTrain. I hope it’s back up and operational when I return home

  • Lodzilla Lloyd (@Lodzilla) reported

    @virginmedia Happy to try but I can't see anywhere in my account on the website to do so. I've tried under the Your Package section and in Help with no luck.

  • heatherpitt Heather Pitt (@heatherpitt) reported

    @virginmedia down in NN10 for the third day running. Totally p***ed off. Compensation, please and a definite time it will be fixed.

  • jefferyhorne Jeffery Horne (@jefferyhorne) reported

    @virginmedia The phone is in my name how do I cancel the virgin mobile account

  • Pudgethefishh Cameron R Spence (@Pudgethefishh) reported

    @virginmedia once again I’m hitting a brick wall with your services. This is the THIRD instance I’ve had with not being able to simply speak to anyone. I want to cancel my services. You’ve done nothing but mess me around and I’m done. Please can someone just TALK TO ME.

  • DWChadee 🇵🇹Daniel W Chadee🇲🇺 (@DWChadee) reported

    @virginmedia I would be better if an expert from Virgin media had a look. No disrespect to the other paying customers in the community, but I'm paying for a service, so I would like the service check by the service provider. As even on wired I'm not getting near 1000 speed, I'm getting 600+

  • jimmysunny85 jimmy (@jimmysunny85) reported

    @virginmedia Your sounding very repetitive like the people on the phone,am only due July to August how can anyone be due a bill for something they haven't even had or used thick about what your saying,also this is never been the case up until NOW! So again am due July to August and reduction

  • Holroyd68 Mark (@Holroyd68) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. I’ve not had the advertised upload speed on my broadband for months now. Have tried logging an incident but your service desk folk aren’t stuck with their scripts and unable to help. What can you advise ?

  • KevinLennonUK Kevin Lennon (@KevinLennonUK) reported

    @virginmedia @OfficialFPL Hi Virginmedia. Only getting 50% of broadband speed at MK42 area via speed test. Testing states your system is ok. Something not correct as signal dropping out since Sunday pm. Can you check it out.
