  • czar_nik Dr Nick (@czar_nik) reported from London, England

    .@virginmedia it's now 9 hours plus and still no response. Rubbish service as usual from Virgin

  • NatalieEllenO Natalie O'Sullivan (@NatalieEllenO) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    @virginmedia I can’t seem to get through to speak to anyone to assist with an ongoing issue we have with our TV service. For over a week when trying to watch TV the picture is distorted/pixelated. The only time I can watch a clear picture is when I watch Netflix.

  • turboeddie08 Eddie Seber (@turboeddie08) reported from London, England

    Virgin TV GO app down @virginmedia

  • spookyjulie Sarah Elizabeth Cox (@spookyjulie) reported from London, England

    @CateSevilla @virginmedia They then tried to fine me for not sending their 'hub' back and refused to refund the house move cost I'd paid a few months earlier. So so incompetent! SO stressful when all of us work from home too. I moved to TalkTalk & is cheaper and no problems so far, at least :)

  • czar_nik Dr Nick (@czar_nik) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia hello, our Internet has been down for over 4 hours now in Barking. Is there any update on this or when we can expect to have functional Internet back? Its not the first time this has happened and we're reaching the end of our tether!

  • LunchMoneyLu LunchMoneyLu (@LunchMoneyLu) reported from Camberwell, England

    @BORDERJOE @virginmedia Joseph, my best advice to you and your father is to leave Virgin for BT or any other service provider that acts ethically and cares for their customers which Virgin evidently doesn’t.

  • LunchMoneyLu LunchMoneyLu (@LunchMoneyLu) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia are the complaints team able to reach out? Consistently given the run around by all your customer service reps, you guys are unethical and quite frankly don’t respect your customers enough to keep promises. Will be going to @Ofcom next.

  • zeesh009 Zee (@zeesh009) reported from Broxbourne District, England

    @virginmedia has the worse customer services team 🤬🤬

  • LunchMoneyLu LunchMoneyLu (@LunchMoneyLu) reported from Camberwell, England

    @BamBamSam92 @virginmedia Mate, best advice is sack them off and get another service. Go for BT rather.

  • LunchMoneyLu LunchMoneyLu (@LunchMoneyLu) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia I’m tired of hearing I can’t speak to a manager and one will reach out, I’m also tired of hearing your complaint will be escalated and I’m tired of paying and getting half a service. What must happen now?

  • citigirly lisa sibley (@citigirly) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I had a letter saying work was being done on 26th August and may effect broadband but since then the internet keeps going down intermittently throughout day ? No issues listed online can you check if work still being done as I am wfh post code SE39lr

  • angelosfatclub Angelo (@angelosfatclub) reported from South Ockendon, England

    @virginmedia you obviously don’t want for appropriate new customers. Been on hold for over and hour and been lied to by you pre-install team. The worst experience I have ever had.

  • OrrinEdenfield Orrin Edenfield, an 🇺🇸 living in 🇬🇧 (@OrrinEdenfield) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia internet was off for an hour or more, then worked for a hot 5 minutes and now is down again.

  • OrrinEdenfield Orrin Edenfield, an 🇺🇸 living in 🇬🇧 (@OrrinEdenfield) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia Well, I'm nearly certain my issues were caused or fixed by the gentleman in the Virgin Media van outside my residence. All seemed to be well yesterday afternoon and evening (and today so far).

  • LunchMoneyLu LunchMoneyLu (@LunchMoneyLu) reported from Camberwell, England

    @simon_tabor @virginmedia My Virgin TV hasn’t been working since the 29th of July. They’ve “sent” 3 technicians, none of them have made it here. this is hands down the worst run service provider, with unethical, unhelpful customer service teams.

  • officialGMT Gary (@officialGMT) reported from Camden Town, England

    Any Virgin Media customers can tell me is it really that bad? I’ve a provisional install date for Fiber next month but keep seeing messages that it’s down more than up?

  • LunchMoneyLu LunchMoneyLu (@LunchMoneyLu) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia There’s been no resolution whatsoever. And I’ve called 4/5 times a week since the 29th and have waited nothing less than 50 minutes to be given a run around. If I’m receiving half a service surely I could pay half my bill?

  • LunchMoneyLu LunchMoneyLu (@LunchMoneyLu) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia [1/2]Other than my tv service being down for an entire month, I’ve had your customer service/faults/technical team pass me back and forth between yourselves acting as if I’ve reached a different department. All of whom have not helped me in the slightest. I’ve had 4 reps tell me

  • OrrinEdenfield Orrin Edenfield, an 🇺🇸 living in 🇬🇧 (@OrrinEdenfield) reported from Camden Town, England

    Anyone else in NW3 have working Internet with Virgin Media? Mines been down about 30 min or so.

  • PeterSexton14 Peter Sexton (@PeterSexton14) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia Service has been fixed now. All working

  • GrumpyBiker1969 Mr. Miyagi 🌴 (@GrumpyBiker1969) reported

    @O2 still can not access my account it looks like the issue is your merge with @virginmedia and a conflict with the App & on line log in. How I am I supposed to manage my account @Ofcom

  • disguisedintel NOT IN MY NAME (@disguisedintel) reported

    @emilyk1992 @virginmedia This is the virgin media way. I have a repair date for 7th august which is 3 weeks from them being told and it took 3 appointments and 5 hours of dealing with their lying, inept customer support staff. RUN AS FAR AND AS FAST TO ANOTHER PROVIDER.

  • DawnSunrise1 Dawn (@DawnSunrise1) reported

    Virgin Media have emailed to say our current contract is coming to an end and we will be charged another £50 a month in future. Wtf? Now I'll have to phone to challenge it. Fed up of all this @virginmedia

  • morse64 ian Morson (@morse64) reported

    @virginmedia what an absolute joke... cant access online due to this new Virgin media / O2 login. I do not have access to the email account and rang customer services to change it. Still no joy

  • Christo24382100 Christopher Aveyard (@Christo24382100) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve been with Virgin Media for two weeks and haven’t been able to log into my account, I’ve spoken to so many advisors who tell me to wait anywhere between 24-72 hours and try again. Terrible costumer service so far, no one seems to have a clue what they’re doing.

  • mjaanensen mjaanensen (@mjaanensen) reported

    @virginmedia please can someone contact me. I no longer have access to the e-mail address associated with my account, therefore cannot login to my virgin media and cannot change the e-mail address associated. Help! Also your internet is awful at the moment but can't run any tests

  • excitedpixels Jeremy Wood (@excitedpixels) reported

    @virginmedia @bt_uk @O2 Much like BT your systems seem very broken.

  • womaninblue1050 Marilyn (@womaninblue1050) reported

    @AlisonLMercer @O2 @virginmedia Yes there are loads affected. There’s a Facebook group specifically for problems with Virgin and this problem is highlighted significantly.

  • CleanzineEditor Jan Hobbs (@CleanzineEditor) reported

    @mickharkin68531 @virginmedia Whenever folk post on social media that they're looking to change their provider, locals response with recommendations/steer clears & often include prices they pay. It certainly doesn't look as if I've been saving 40%! I'd happily pay more for a good service though

  • HCopIey HCopley (@HCopIey) reported

    Tried to cancel my virgin media contract got passed around like a **** through 6 teams just to have my call disconnected after 45 mins ***** @virginmedia
