    @virginmedia everything else is working except kids channels 712 to 717, W02 error. No other channel issues or broadband, done all the standard resets, unplugged at mains etc. Do I need to call to have this resolved? TV guide just says 'to be announced' Everything else is fine.

  • Look_North Karl Ward (@Look_North) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I dread clicking that link. I fear being sucked down the rabbit hole of Ai customer service bots where I eventually give up until I'm exasperated by the next monthly bill increase.

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • ChloeWingle Chloe Elizabeth (@ChloeWingle) reported

    @virginmedia due to having an open case because of domestic harassment and your adviser told me he couldn’t help me and put the phone down.

  • blairsinclair blair sinclair (@blairsinclair) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you for trying to help- but I have already been on the phone for over an hour today and the service I’ve received has been largely appalling. I am also working all day tomorrow. I just want this sorted.

  • G6XOR David Winfield (@G6XOR) reported

    Pretty shoddy treatment from Virgin media. Had their top broadband but got better deal from sky, rang to cancel and they gave me a good deal to stay reducing my monthly bill by around £50. Staying as it is, today everything dropping out and now we’re on the 50 mbs not the 200mbs

  • IVIagma (ง'̀-'́)ง (@IVIagma) reported

    @C9EmZ Are you being told that by a Microsoft support member with an Indian accent? Or is that just another **** excuse from virgin media 🙄

  • dattepalme T. S. (@dattepalme) reported

    @virginmedia 2/2. I am desperate and don't know what to do. Please help me to get in contact with anyone. What can I do. What do you need to know in order to help me?

  • alixcage Alix Cage 😷👍 (@alixcage) reported

    Awful customer service from @virginmedia. Sent a letter recorded delivery on the 11th to close my account but it’s still not been processed! Operator I spoke to today says they can’t verify I did this so charged me notice from today. What a joke! Glad to be leaving!

  • annamazz Anna Maslowicz (@annamazz) reported

    @virginmedia No as no one is getting back to me, returning my calls or following up with my complaints. I need this resolved or I’m going to close my account and go to another provider. Terrible service

  • blairsinclair blair sinclair (@blairsinclair) reported

    @virginmedia The rep said that was fine, the proceeded to tell me how virgin speeds were faster etc. I said I still wanted the 30 days to stand but I would get in touch if I changed my mind. Now I find out the notice period was never logged and I face a huge bill for a service I had cancelled

  • helenrowan3 helen rowan (@helenrowan3) reported

    @virginmedia been on hold for 50 minutes waiting to speak to someone. Terrible service!

  • dattepalme T. S. (@dattepalme) reported

    @virginmedia @NilsSchaffner Same problem here. Can you please try to contact me in anyway. Waiting in telephone line for about an hour before being kicked out. Chatbot not sending useful messages. Unrelated to question. Nobody is coming back to me via WhatsApp. I don't know what to do. Please help.
