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

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

  • 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.

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

    @krista_leia I don't know what to believe anymore, he told me on Sunday that Virgin Media were comping to fix it but it's now so bad i cannot even connect it. I can get wi-fi installed here just for me, but you usually need a phone line and the cost is going to be fairly high.

  • 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?

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

    @virginmedia I have something called a TP Adapter? in my room. When it is able to come through that the signal is brilliant, but for some reason it is not coming through right now.

  • robinsontonyLIR be kind and be nice. (@robinsontonyLIR) reported from Colchester, England

    @InTheseHeels Have you tried turning it on and off again? .....OK in all seriousness it happens to me on my LAN . I concluded as I'm on a domestic connection, Virgin Media , I suspect they refresh the network to loose dormant connections periodically and I get booted off for a few secs

  • 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.

  • 2FingersRampant 2 Fingers Rampant (@2FingersRampant) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia service completely out at CO2 8QA and local area. Status page says all ok, so can you explain this please. Urgent work priority.

  • 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

  • Alan_Branch Alan Branch (@Alan_Branch) reported from Frinton-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia waiting 2 weeks for a fix now! since you cut off my mobile due to a glitch in your system! Despite me warning you for 11 months not to cut off my phone… #zerocustomersupport #givemebackmyphone #Hownottorunabuisness

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

    @virginmedia Not worth it if you cared it would have been dealt with I will leave and tell everyone and anyone to avoid your NOT customer caring company

  • Griggsy1968 Mark Griggs (@Griggsy1968) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia So, 3 phone calls over 50 mins all cut off! All I wanted to do was pay off a handset and upgrade a contract. Customer service 0/10!

  • 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

  • Laitty Graeson Laitt (@Laitty) reported from Colchester, England

    Great time for my internet to go down again. Third time this week @virginmedia #colu

  • ColletteLynn_ ¢σℓℓєттє ℓуηη мσσяє♥ (@ColletteLynn_) reported from Great Horkesley, England

    @Howard_Norton @Virgin I haven’t even managed to get through to @virginmedia yet despite multiple attempts and long holds to even comment on their actual customer service. The fact they are trying to charge me for something I have cancelled and haven’t used is beyond the joke already! #poorservice

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia what’s the issue with the service in colchester CO2 area

    @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

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

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

    .@virginmedia stupid ***** just terminate ur whole company

  • DrKwabz Kwabena🐝🇬🇭 (@DrKwabz) reported

    I now know how the mandem feel about Virgin Media cause is it actually every week you need to have an issue?

  • Gypsygillybean Gill (@Gypsygillybean) reported

    @virginmedia No. I’m busy. I held on for over 12 minutes. I see a missed call, but as I say, I’m busy. I don’t have the energy to keep phoning and going through security twice because they have to transfer me every time. Help?

  • DeniseTPhoenix1 Denise T Phoenix (@DeniseTPhoenix1) reported

    @virginmedia I'll give it another try, but if I'm sent around no man's land again I'll be so cross! But thank you for your help.

  • CompleteGoober Gary Pickles (@CompleteGoober) reported

    @virginmedia No, I don't have time to post onto a forum. This has been ongoing all month and you're asking me to post it onto a forum. Ridiculous. There was no problem at all, you tampered with something and now it's knackered. Your technical guy said it would be fixed, so why hasn't it been?

  • Nicki_n_Wayne Nicki🌈💕🌈 (@Nicki_n_Wayne) reported

    @virginmedia It comes up with there's a technical issue please try again

  • UltraFoil UltraFoil (@UltraFoil) reported

    @virginmedia No it sent me through a list of options that led to a dead end. I'm getting conflicting information from the Virgin app; it says there isn't a problem in my area, but also that they're working on the problem in my area! The phone call led to them just sending me a link.

  • betttttthy bethy (@betttttthy) reported

    @virginmedia It is a one off credit due to complete loss of service for 9 days. Every time I ask why it’s not been applied, I’m told it has now been applied and it will appear on my next bill. I’m then given a bill with no deductions! Extremely frustrating.

  • MartanaPrice Martana Price (@MartanaPrice) reported

    @virginmedia Perhaps but is that a call centre in the Philippines because they wont know anything! I am still being charged for a service that I am not receiving 100% of though

  • binreminded Criminology Student (@binreminded) reported

    @virginmedia That he knew my old email address from when we signed up for the service seemed a confirmation. I thought how could he have got that? I amended it on his device. He said we should get an email.
