LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England@virginmedia All on screen instructions followed, waited til I finished work today to check and it still doesn't get past 25% on the "searching for channels" page... Just taken the direct debit for a service which has been broken since 2.12.21...

Steve Dey (@Stevedey) reported from Newburn, England@GingesLife @virginmedia Honestly mate it’s a joke! Just paid the bill yesterday and now the cheeky buggers can’t even provide the service they charge us so much for.
-

-
Keith Dawson (@KeithRwc) reported from Washington, EnglandLooks like @virginmedia are again trying to take Netflix payment that should already be included in my Volt. This is disgusting behaviour having already spoke to them previously!! Anyone else having similar issues?
-

-
Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia I didn’t get the opportunity to call yesterday, but I noticed last night that it’s working again. There was nothing mentioned on service page (not unusual) but there must’ve been a fault that was eventually fixed.
-
LadyDi (@didixon74) reported from Ryton, England@_ItsLewis18_ @virginmedia I managed to get onto live ch at t and they have done something to fix it. Thank you
-
Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland, England@virginmedia The link asks me to log in which I do, then it shows me my contract etc, I can either fill a form in for someone to contact me but I’ve did it before or it shows the complaint as been closed
-
Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England@gotthegistofit @virginmedia Same, just spent a frustrating hour on their "customer service" line because about £40 of calls are on my father-in-law's bill which weren't made. Still not resolved and an engineer has to come our first (which they wanted to charge for!)
-
Dowlo (@dowlo100) reported from Whitley Bay, England@virginmedia my elderly mother has been trying to contact you for over 3 weeks now to cancel her sub as it has gone up £60 pm. She has been out on hold numerous times and cut off no help on chat etc. her only option now is to cancel the DD as she can’t afford this anymore… help
-

CazzaW (@CazzaW) reported from Walker Gate, England@virginmedia down in Newcastle? How am I meant to work?
-
NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported from Ryton, England@virginmedia You offer the same package to new customers at nearly £20 cheaper so it isn't the lowest price possible, is it? Spoke 18 months ago about signal. Was told it would be looked at if I agreed to renew. Once renewed was told WiFi is not guaranteed so tough.
-
CazzaW (@CazzaW) reported from Walker Gate, EnglandWakey wakey @virginmedia shoddy service not to update a LOT of the UK on broadband problems
-

-
Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia Lots of people are complaining about this on the customer forums. We've had very little downtime since the separate router was connected, it's suddenly gone to pot and seems to be a general issue at the moment.
-
Paul fletcher (@P25_Fletch) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia You’s really do make it almost impossible to cancel. I’ve called 5 times over 3 days. Either don’t get transferred or get cut off. Looks like I’ll try by writing a letter….
-
Craig Smart 💙 (@CraigSmartUN) reported from Gateshead, England@virginmedia trying to set up online account ready for install on Wednesday, verification email expired. Clicking send new email but no email is being sent so can’t verify email. Please help!
-
Sarah (@Rainbowztwit) reported from Whitley Bay, England.@virginmedia Broadband down - phone line states because of 'improvements'- not expected back until 3pm. Why was there no notice so I could arrange to work from alternate location? How do I get warning in future?

Keystonecop (@1030pa) reported@melon_h @virginmedia Going by the number of issues involving Virgin Media , they may need to realise they have a problem
-
cari_lou (@swlondonraised) reported@virginmedia And to top it off my data is so bad I'm having to stand by my window its actually laughable if i wasn't so bloody angry
-
Chezza O (@LonelyLondoner) reported@virginmedia 1. Router just loses network every few hours. So I come back from work and have to turn the router off and on. What an upgrade!!!! 2. Reconnecting takes 5 minutes which in itself is a nightmare stealing my joy. This was not the exciting upgrade Inexpected
-
MrsM 💙 (@oldpoyntz) reported@PeterBakerMcfc @virginmedia Internet is back now. No one touched anything and it goes off. Moving to Community Fibre once this contract is up. I can't keep having these issues & paying through the nose. At least we'll be able to rotate through the apps as and when needed.
-
Дж Б Б 65 (@Birkenhead1872) reported@virginmedia Your wifi is utter crap and doesn’t work Your customer service is a joke You are not fit for purpose
-
Sunny Singh (@sunnysenguk) reported@virginmedia just spent a hour with 2 advisors who have made me feel like disconnection is the best option with VM, I have raised a complaint but I don’t feel confident that it will come to a resolution after my experience. Shame to end my contract after 15 years as a customer 🤬
-
Lara Mitchard (@LaraMitchard) reported@virginmedia There seems to be a broadband issue in HP1 as I have no services and your outage page has identified an issue. Any idea how long this will be down?
-
Geoff Naylor (@geofn3751) reported@virginmedia Yes, but how can you penalise me for wanting to move to a service provider who can provide the service that you can't?
-
Keith A Pearson (@keithapearson) reported@virginmedia Still waiting on your chat agent - to say he/she is incompetent would be the mother of all understatements. And yes, I've tried calling in the past, and that experience was so frustratingly pointless that I'm never trying again.

Hampo69 (@hampo69) reported@virginmedia Loss of service AGAIN in WA7 4YL area. This is becoming a regular occurrence. £154 per month and have to suffer outages on what now seems to be a regular basis.
