    @virginmedia It drops out for a few minutes, then restarts, there is nothing I can see on your service page that helps with that. I'll try the factory reset, its the only thing I haven't tried.

  • gaz_smith123

    @virginmedia have you got problems in area 30? My connection keeps dropping out!

  • acmtix
    𝘼𝙙𝙖𝙢🐰 (@acmtix) reported from Eastwood, England

    @virginmedia Yes I have contacted Virginmedia a couple of times. It looks like there is a problem in Nottingham NG16 area again. This is a common issue. Disconnections and lack of a quality service.

    Joanna Hayes (@SmileyJMH) reported from Loughborough, England

    @virginmedia I have WiFi at the moment. . . The problem is intermittent, it doesn't seem to coincide with times of high demand necessarily. It's incredibly frustrating, especially when working remotely from home and losing signal cuts everything off.

    @virginmedia helping out my 74 year old mother, when she resigned with you at Christmas, you also promised to send out a new V6 box, it never arrived, I chased this up and then you sent an older TiVo box. I spoke to the guy and he told me they're the same !?

  • breadf2man
    Fazal Rehman (@breadf2man) reported from Loughborough, England

    @virginmedia A lady told me two weeks ago it would be sorted end of the week. I rang again a lady said she would contact manager and ring me back that day. Never happened, I will can take complaint to next level and then the independent complaints ombudsmen. Virgin complaints procedure poor

  • JadeLewis92
    Jade Lewis (@JadeLewis92) reported from Felley, England

    @virginmedia I need to cancel my services but I can't get through on the phone or on the website. How am I supposed to cancel?!

  • jeibbotson
    Jonathan Ibbotson (@jeibbotson) reported from Castle Donington, England

    @virginmedia please sort out your appalling broadband service in the derby area. More time down than up @Ofcom you ought to mandate refunds

  • SmileyJMH
    Joanna Hayes (@SmileyJMH) reported from Loughborough, England

    @virginmedia just had call from 'Harry' in London, your technical department. Apparently I'm having issues with broadband speed... His employer ID was 194, apparently? He was shouty, in very loud place, couldn't tell me who I was. Please look into number 01323897224. Infuriating.

    New tactics from Virgin Media, ring up to cancel, they say they can't find your account and then put the phone down. 🖕🖕

  • aaronfarny_b
    B Farn (@aaronfarny_b) reported from Ilkeston, England

    Right @virginmedia is truly the worst internet - So I am looking to change providers as soon as possible - Not worried about TV packages etc as We are good with free view - can anybody recommend a ISP with a good monthly rate and none of the hidden fees etc?

    @JPBOLDY @virginmedia I am also getting this problem

  • acmtix
    𝘼𝙙𝙖𝙢🐰 (@acmtix) reported from Eastwood, England

    @virginmedia What would be really good is if you send out a message to your customers telling them there is an issue rather than leaving it to them to find out that they cannot use your services.

  • _Chris_Seddon_
    Chris Seddon (@_Chris_Seddon_) reported from Melbourne, England

    Looks like someone pulled out the wrong plug at Virgin Media HQ. Even their website is down!

  • ilsonnut43
    adrian dilks (@ilsonnut43) reported from Ilkeston, England

    @virginmedia why is my wifi so poor when I pay for the top bracket of broadband,my router is always cutting out ,really really fed up with it ?

  • 64derby
    paul (@64derby) reported from Duffield, England

    @virginmedia just installed virgin broadband 350 today ! only getting 5 mbps in my study.. phoned customers services for a booster to be told none in stock and phone back in 2 weeks.. took me over an hour to speak to a person in India who couldn’t help

  • DannyD678
    DJ Dan-E-D (@DannyD678) reported from Felley, England

    @virginmedia Still no return bag 3 weeks after you said you were sending it. Can’t speak to you because I’m not a customer. Sort it out please ASAP.

  • haasty_kawa
    haasty kawa (@haasty_kawa) reported from Derby, England

    @virginmedia I'm not at all satisfied. Since last night until now, my internet has been down. When I attempted to contact customer service, it flatly refused. I attempted to access the page, but it is still blocking me. I am self-employed. The region DE248ET is shown here. Fix it asap

  • lee0510
    Lee Smith (@lee0510) reported from Ilkeston, England

    @virginmedia please tell me how to speak to someone in your organisation! I can’t get through on line as it doesn’t recognise me even though you bill me and your phone system won’t allow me to speak to anyone. Customer service is diabolical.

Virgin Media Issues Reports

  • Rough_Shuffle
    Rough Shuffle 🔀 (@Rough_Shuffle) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia I recently had to contact them. Their CS is the worst ever experienced. It's like it's ran entirely by 12 year olds on work experience. I'm horrified at how bad it is. Initially contacted because of a litany of f'ups on their part. CS seems completely dethatched from the company.

  • guygorillacity
    guygorilla (@guygorillacity) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Agree - worst company - taking more than fixed price contract stipulated from an old age pensioner.

  • RetroGamer90
    RetroGamerX (@RetroGamer90) reported

    @Stephencheatley @virginmedia We had the full VM package quite a few years back but always had issues with their tv service. We ended up going with Sky and havent had any problems since then. We kept the broadband with Virgin because we get 1GB for £38 month with Netflix included. Shop around mate 👍

  • HoleshotBMX
    Holeshot BMX (@HoleshotBMX) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Glad I’ll never be using Virgin media

  • LongshanksE10
    Richard Astley (@LongshanksE10) reported

    @virginmedia Hey I was told earlier by customer services on IM that an engineer will come to fix or replace my WiFi hub on Friday, but I haven’t received any email or text confirmation. Will one be forthcoming?

  • phykell
    Phykell (@phykell) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Doesn’t surprise me one bit. Definitely the worst brand as well.

  • obbsie
    Chris Hobbs (@obbsie) reported

    @virginmedia I just tried to contact you remotely re my TIVO box & the changeover. Your Terri bot clearly couldn't deal with it. My whole computer then froze completely followed by a page of Chinese writing before the computer telling me there is a problem & rebooted itself. Will I have to wait four hours on the 150 landline as I did the other day before giving up.

  • MKE4612
    Mick (@MKE4612) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Make sure you announce which show you'll be showing this on, I would be very interested to watch. There are so many horror stories of people who are vulnerable and getting scammed by these mainstream companies like Virgin. **** them up Ben.
