Shoutout to @vmbusiness who after 5 days told me to reset my router and have now told me they will simply continue to monitor the problem. No stream until NationWars now where we pray it’s going to be better.

@virginmedia @honestlyhelen I've had similar feelings, my bill has rocketed by £11 per month over the last few months for my TV only service as Virgin only offer discounts now for multi package deals, loyalty no longer rewarded it seems 🤔

@virginmedia I need someone to contact me immediately as I need to make a serious complaint about service. Completely ready to escalate to higher management as this incompetence of this company is a disgrace

@virginmedia The person that put me on hold said it looked like there was a problem in our area and tried to put me through to technical help but after music droning on for ages it just stopped. Have given up and watching a dvd instead

Nice one @virginmedia I've missed all the 2nd half of the match now. No BB, no Tivo. And your still billing me a higher rate than was agreed when I did the tests which say no issues in my area. Tried resets.

16 mins on hold to @virginmedia before I got through to someone who said she needed to transfer me to another department, the recorded message of that department said the number no longer exists and gave me the original phone number to ring! Some customer service that!!!

Anyone else on @virginmedia getting “To Be Announced” on virtually every channel. Tried rebooting, switching on and off. Strikes me that VM has gone to shit recently. Loads of channels have gone, close to sacking it off.

@virginmedia Every single day for the last week my router just turns itself off and starts to update or drops out completely. Paying a lot of money for this service and it just isn’t good enough.

If @virginmedia offer you a 6 month free upgrade do not accept it. It is a way of locking you into a further contract. Poor service as always

@virginmedia your customer service team is about as much use as a chocolate fire guard! Routers not working switch off then back on... it’s broken I can book an engineer for Saturday....

@virginmedia This lithium service you use is to get people off social media. It obfuscates and is unable to resolve anything. I'll take my chance in the legal system and with independent ombudsman.

@virginmedia You and your team are just doing what you’re told but sadly your systems are not customer friendly and this was the case pre-covid.

(@owenspinner) reported
@virginmedia As many of us are working from home; we rely on your internet to get our jobs done. Saying an issue will be fixed within hours on the 13th, to it still persisting now is far from the transparency we should expect as customers

@virginmedia Nope. My virgin media account has never worked, despite multiple calls to your ‘tech’ team.

(@shaynehele02) reported
@virginmedia Yes, technical faults the whole area have been having, not just me. You repeatedly asked about my connection when everyone in Haywood Village were having the same issues. A little bit of transparency and honesty might help in the future. #virginmedia

@virginmedia I’ve been through all of this.. and the outcome is you can’t fix it or offer a fix. And as soon as this pandemics done I’ll be weighing up other options

@virginmedia I can’t remember the exact date but it was before xmas and I’ve tried through numerous channels since then. You’re the only one that responds but can’t help or arrange contact from your team

(@AskFelli) reported
@virginmedia I think that's pretty clear, I can play when using a VPN and I can't when not. Everything else works fine so it is a routing issue in your network.
