    @virginmedia why is it so hard to get in contact with you? I can’t start a live chat and when I ring and think I’m getting some progress you tell me to look online and hang up????

  • WiseOlMurph Murph (@WiseOlMurph) reported from Ipswich District, England

    Anyone in Ipswich struggling with Virgin Media speeds currently? It’s awful paying all this money for absolute shite speeds.

  • FolkardSimon Simon Folkard (@FolkardSimon) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia Sorry i will not be able to as it is the landlord who is the customer. Thanks though i appreciate it.

  • kennythekilt kenny wilson (@kennythekilt) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia Nope didn’t hear back from them I wasn’t wasting my time and your poor customer service

  • BrunningLee Lee Brunning (@BrunningLee) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia Who knows but certain people with in your team have been very flippant about our situation and trying to palm us off with a 20pound credit. This is nowhere near acceptable considering the stress and upset your so called customer service team has put us through.

  • kennythekilt kenny wilson (@kennythekilt) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia Your staff should put the customer first pass the enquiry to another team member take break late or offer a call back

  • gunsmoke70 Richard Martin (@gunsmoke70) reported from Manningtree, England

    @7pudinis @virginmedia Was signal issue that originated from the Initial install yrs ago, bent wire in outside box, I guess over the yrs degraded till no signal, all fixed now

  • matt40k Matt Smith (@matt40k) reported from Ipswich District, England

    Ok so, virgin media router kinda sucks, if I use the Bt SmartHub 2, it would basically just be a Wi-fi access point, so would need a like a rpi for dhcp Or I could just buy a google nest Wi-fi or something ubiquiti

  • rachelfortnum Rachel Fortnum-Adams (@rachelfortnum) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia Eventually but the issue had taken 4 days to resolve which is shocking. Your customer service is the worst I’ve ever come across #virginmedia

  • steevXIII Steve Tovey (@steevXIII) reported from Colchester, England

    Anyone else have a problem with All4 app on @virginmedia Can access the menu / home page but anytime I try to actually watch a programme I get a black screen & 4 dots endlessly blinking, as if buffering, but the show never, eeeevveerrr appears... On Googling, seems common issue?

  • rachelfortnum Rachel Fortnum-Adams (@rachelfortnum) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia since Christmas our WiFi has been disgustingly bad. A few weeks ago I called yourselves and spent almost 2 hours on the phone. I upgraded our WiFi at home to the best possible WiFi we could have and yet it’s still shockingly bad. I’ve never known such shoddy service

  • RUSSELL91779006 RUSSELL WALKER (@RUSSELL91779006) reported from Colchester, England

    @IpMcdonald Snap...the same for me, but with virgin media. Absolutely abysmal service.

  • rachelfortnum Rachel Fortnum-Adams (@rachelfortnum) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia I am actually so disgusted with your customer service for our WiFi that I have no words. How many times do I need to contact you? I’ve been a customer for 22 years and I’ve never experienced such a bad service #sortitout #virginmedia

  • positivesarah Sarah 'Morgenmuffel' Clark (@positivesarah) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia Down again....

  • steevXIII Steve Tovey (@steevXIII) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia Hi. Please read the thread. One App doesn't work properly, my TV box is generally fine. From a quick Google I can see it is a problem for other people with Virgin Media TiVo boxes too where the @All4 app doesn't load programmes. I can access the app and all the menu screens.

  • steevXIII Steve Tovey (@steevXIII) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia I've been having this issue continuously for a couple of months and they are still continuing. Yes.

  • BrunningLee Lee Brunning (@BrunningLee) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia Look I've had two days of total crap from you guys. I just don't have the energy to deal with this anymore. You've took money off me wen u shouldn't. Because of covid I'm on less money so an extra 26 quid is massive to us,but all your guys keep doing is fobbing us off. 😠

  • FolkardSimon Simon Folkard (@FolkardSimon) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia I managed to get through on the other number as i had forgotten my old account no, the bill is paid and i now have an installation date. I appreciate your help.

  • Grovesy71 Darren Grove (@Grovesy71) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia contract changed last year, advised incorrectly by advisor, discussed with call centre & complained via your complaints procedure - no calls received to date to address from now over 1 month from complaint date #shockingservice for a loyal customer

  • CharlesCoombes Chazz Coombes (@CharlesCoombes) reported

    @virginmedia quick question? I am with yourself & on O2 for my mobile phone network & i see that i can get extra benifits such as boosted internet speeds to the next availble level & double data on o2 pay monthly plan. Can you explain when this will apply to my account?

  • MinorPlaces RichardBrown (@MinorPlaces) reported

    @garius @NOWTV I had similar problems with @virginmedia. It seems silly, but a letter emailed to their operations director got some action.

  • Dollydealer Catherine Mawn (@Dollydealer) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, only just though. Will be arriving between 15:30 & 17:30 today. Really not happy with the service from @YodelOnline .

  • WAFLL_1919 Dave Angus 💙💛 (@WAFLL_1919) reported

    @virginmedia I have a reference number from the resolution tram if you want to take this offline? But more that happy to express my dissatisfaction to a worldwide audience if you like? @LutzSchueler

  • nmklpjklftmch nmkl pjkl ftmch (@nmklpjklftmch) reported

    @virginmedia just rang your customer service dept about our bad Internet connection the call handler was incoherent and didn't help at all but did try and sell us stuff (we think). we're now considering changing our supplier .your customer service is shockingly awful

  • squigsie1 Wayne Quigley (@squigsie1) reported

    @virginmedia hi why has cartoon network disappeared from my service asking me to add it as an upgrade when it was in my package that you agreed to give me 😤

  • IainRobertBend Iain (@IainRobertBend) reported

    @virginmedia with the world. Maybe public shaming is the best approach, but judging from other forums I’ve seen and the number of people with similar issues, you just don’t give a $h** about your customers. It’s just left to me to warn anyone else thinking of doing business with you. 3/3

  • RogerBinks ROGER BINKS (@RogerBinks) reported

    @virginmedia The terrible Cx, billing, Comms

  • moore0602 Brendan (@moore0602) reported

    @virginmedia Non of the depts communicate, internet in house is appalling. Offered pods - great. Ring to order pods and told need more diagnostics despite previous handler changing package etc and offering pods. Hang up on useless CS advisor, phone again and v helpful lady orders pods 1/

  • JimSinnott jim sinnott (@JimSinnott) reported

    @virginmedia Your website refuses to accept complaints. I'm thinking this is definitely a parody account. How do I make a complaint??? I am taking this as my official complaint start time. You have no method of receiving complaints... I'm in your long grass.
