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

    @virginmedia Except if your me.. I’ve continually been supplied with a poor excuse for broadband.. I was promised a booster for my signal yet weeks later I’ve still not received it.. your not keeping up your side of this contract.. will not renew my contract when this is over!

  • 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.

  • neilmjohnson72
    Neil Johnson (@neilmjohnson72) reported from Ashby-de-la-Zouch, England

    @virginmedia You need to sort your customer service out, it is absolutely disgraceful. Your technical team are ignorant and hang calls up without situation. You are getting dumped!

    @AnnavsAnna1 @virginmedia The routers are terrible and not fit for purpose.

  • horseracingmama
    whatsitallabout!! (@horseracingmama) reported from Burton upon Trent, England

    @virginmedia can’t wait till they read the feedback on the email survey they asked me to do they scored a massive 0 from me and no I would not recommend them and will never go back to them either!!

  • xCarrie82x
    Carrie (@xCarrie82x) reported from Kimberley, England

    @virginmedia Broadband and smart tv still up and down!! Wouldn’t mind but worked all day and just wanted to catch up online and chill watching TV! #virginmediadown #lockdown #NHSworkers

  • MissBeBop
    Bhavna 🙋🏽‍♀️ (@MissBeBop) reported from Eastwood, England

    When @virginmedia wifi is working it’s bloody amazing, when you need to raise an issue with them it’s the most frustrating experience ever. Today I have had 2 people hang up mid call, 3 bots, 2 people on chat and still in the same place. No ******* wifi!!!!

  • Taidhgh
    Mr T O'regan (@Taidhgh) reported from Beeston, England

    @virginmedia service in NG8 #Nottingham becoming an expensive joke. Now apparently likely to be intermittent until 3pm for 'improvements' but no notice given? Great service guys. #planning

    @virginmedia It's been reported ..there was an estimated time of fix...it was fixed ....but now for a 3rd day it's down again!

  • gaz_smith123
    Gareth Smith (@gaz_smith123) reported from Ilkeston, England

    Area 30 has been having issues for a week now but @virginmedia still won’t admit there’s an issue - according to them everything is just fine & working perfectly! #virginmediadown #virginmedia #ilkeston #area30

  • Mary_C_Oliver
    Mary Oliver (@Mary_C_Oliver) reported from Beeston, England

    @virginmedia Also, the number is not working

  • Ebike_holidays
    National Forest E-Bike Holidays (@Ebike_holidays) reported from Ashby-de-la-Zouch, England

    @virginmedia Everyone is very apologetic but that doesn’t help give a vulnerable old lady the peace of mind that her son is available at the other end of the phone, should something happen.

  • Kizztronice
    Kizzy 🦇 Puckmigo23 (@Kizztronice) reported from Awsworth, England

    @virginmedia I have used this service for the past hour to then be told the matter can not be fixed via the text service. So that was very unhelpful indeed.

  • 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

  • moore2_jayne
    Jayne Moore (@moore2_jayne) reported from Annesley, England

    @virginmedia please can you inbox me urgently about restoring my dementia Mums phone line - been holding for over an hour with no human to help - this is urgent. Poor service so far.

  • bigbrawbill
    Lord William Niven (@bigbrawbill) reported from Ilkeston, England

    @virginmedia terrible customer service, my box is overheating, has done for around 2 days, we have to switch the box of for 5-6 hours then it comes back on, according to customer services nothing can be done until it happens again, then they will look at it. What a shambles

  • Luketh13ttv
    Luketh (@Luketh13ttv) reported from Heanor and Loscoe, England

    @virginmedia I've clicked the link, logged in, and apparently there's no network issue... So how do you explain the issues I've had throughout today?

  • rikkiwalker
    Rikki Walker (@rikkiwalker) reported from Annesley, England

    Let down by both @TravelodgeUK and @virginmedia in one weekend. I must be a lucky guy :/

  • 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.

Virgin Media Issues Reports

  • janethebuell
    Jane (@janethebuell) reported

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia Same problem with @skytv. Told them mum had died & wanted account closed. They said "we cannot close the account, we need to talk to the account holder". I repeated she died. I gave up, sent the equipment back & ignored the flurry of demanding emails. Very distressing.

  • w47carr
    Mrs c (@w47carr) reported

    So been without WiFi and tv because of @virginmedia outage in barnsley since early morning supposed to be fixed by 5pm tonight and 4g is useless

  • kkitkat_exe
    spidella's kitkat🍫||offline (@kkitkat_exe) reported

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia contact the ombudsman directly virgin media is useless they signed us up for their stay connected service w/o telling us and kept sending us bills when we didn't even have their equipment basically the ombudsman is the best way to get them to stop harassing you for money

  • LeeHodler
    TheBotfather (@LeeHodler) reported

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia I had a similar issue with Scottish Power - it’s shocking how useless these corporate pirates are..

  • GretaTigress
    Greta D (@GretaTigress) reported

    @JamieGBarry @virginmedia High time Ofcom simply banned new-customer prices. Let’s have the same prices for everyone, and the out-of-contract prices should get equal prominence. Even the biggest @MartinSLewis worshipper is fatigued by constant switching

  • milesc2003
    Miles (@milesc2003) reported

    @virginmedia due to last nights thunderstorm in WS14 the fiber broadband had been down since 3am. Spoke to a human at 8:30am who said they are waiting for an update. No internet for 9 hours for many people who WFH. Any updates would be appreciated

  • RyanHerd14
    Ryan Herd (@RyanHerd14) reported

    @JamieGBarry @virginmedia It’s ridiculous, and a predatory business practice. Raise the out of contract price by 2-3x and, if one customer doesn’t noticed but 2 cancel, they’ve still increased revenue and reduced overheads and admin.

  • GR_BEAR1979
    GR-Bear🏆x55 (@GR_BEAR1979) reported

    @virginmedia @JamieGBarry Absolute pish !!! I had an introductory offer of £94 for 18 months !! Then it jumped to £205 😵😵. Exact same package. Looked at recontract - offered less services, slower broadband etc for £170. Don’t believe the recontract nonsense, it’s still expensive and a lesser service

  • SaffaJC
    JC (@SaffaJC) reported

    @davekeena1 @virginmedia Mate I would reconsider virgin. Their customer service is the worst. They will admit they messed up but do nothing to rectify it. The staff are either inadequately trained or simply don’t care. Manager are the same unqualified under trained and useless

  • korky69
    mick auckland (@korky69) reported

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia reminded me of when my dad passed away with the then "orange" mobile network, called to cancel and pay the outstanding balance, they insisted on speaking with the account holder? explained he had died, they still demanded to speak to him! never the less the bill was left unpaid
