  • stjohn121 StJohn (@stjohn121) reported from Stafford, England

    @virginmedia after reporting issues with my VM hub4 where the 5Ghz channel reverts to channel 108 it has come to my attention that this is being experienced by others. I’ve had to fact reset then manually change it to Ch40/48 then rename 2.4&5 so that my wife’s system can log 1/2

  • BeppoMonkeyBoy Robot Monkey (@BeppoMonkeyBoy) reported from Bucknall, England

    @virginmedia shocking service already thinking of cancelling, and I’ve not even been setup yet. I’d avoid, maybe I’ll talk to the other fiber in my area, I think they are a lot cheaper.

  • mrssbowen Sarah Louise Bowen (@mrssbowen) reported from Bucknall, England

    @virginmedia should be avoided no customer service just a chat full of nonsense !!

    @virginmedia Nope... back home after being out since 7am. And guess what... no virgin broadband... Still. I can't work. I can't stream. I can't log into the EA/STEAM apps to play games on my pc. Thanks for putting my costs up and dropping the service @virginmedia

  • Laaana_bananaaa 🍃Lana Banana🍂 (@Laaana_bananaaa) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    How ******** can Virgin Media say it's too expensive to connect us with WiFi in this area and would take them years to earn it back, when other people in the smae street have it!!??? 🙃😠

  • itsgemrose 𝓖𝓮𝓶 (@itsgemrose) reported from Stafford, England

    @virginmedia Nope, I just keep being reassured every time that it’s been done. Can I have an email address to send a formal complaint to please? Preferably to the most senior person.

  • andytideswell Cook Pass Babtridge (@andytideswell) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia absolutely awful service. So much for looking after elderly and vulnerable customers. Trying to sell services that are not needed or wanted.

  • sh33ran7 Ant Sheeran 🤙🏻 (@sh33ran7) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia Yes I’ve checked it each time it has occurred and there’s no problem showing, I’ve also restarted and rebooted numerous times over the last couple of days and it still intermittently just stops working.

  • sh33ran7 Ant Sheeran 🤙🏻 (@sh33ran7) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia what is happening with your broadband?? I don’t pay stupid amounts of money each month for it not to work!!!!!

  • MattBennett93 Matt Bennett (@MattBennett93) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia Well do you not think if I'm only getting a service for 80% of the time, I should only be paying 80% of the bill?

  • swoolly1970 Steve woolliscroft (@swoolly1970) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

  • dazholdcroft1 Daz (Oaky) Holdcroft (@dazholdcroft1) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @TerryBossons @virginmedia Since Covid no body answers phones any more crazy, shocking though that is @TerryBossons really bad costumer service and lack of information I had this with Sky very similar 2 very poor service providers with little thought of what’s going on in todays climate

  • J9PVFC J9PVFC (@J9PVFC) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia recently downgraded my broadband package, but my Volt package hasn’t been reapplied to my account. Can you help as O2 show it’s active, but no options on your help site that direct me to someone to fix.

  • DeanCondliffe dean condliffe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@DeanCondliffe) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia John, please check my file. I’ve called several times, to be told somebody will contact you regarding your complaint. I ask to speak to a manger I’m told, none available. Appreciate this is not your fault buts it’s an utter **** show. I’ll let @Ofcom take the lead from here.

  • DeanCondliffe dean condliffe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@DeanCondliffe) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia you know when a customer makes a complaint (twice) and you say that the customer will receive a phone call within 24-48hrs. Is this true or do you just make it up as you go along? Thanks.

  • adampreedy Asp1 (@adampreedy) reported

    @virginmedia I am in and endless loop trying to sign into my sky sports app getting error IDF-12B. I can't get to actually speak to someone as your automated call decision tree is so bad. I'm paying for a service I can't currently access. Totally unacceptable

  • LewisGillett Lewis Gillett (@LewisGillett) reported

    @virginmedia outage again in Nottingham. Reminds me I must switch to another provider soon because Virgin Media is unbelievably unreliable.

    @burningfury247 @virginmedia Go to downdetector and compare Virgin Media with sky or BT, it's terrible. Planning on switching soon.

  • JWilko1983 Wilko (@JWilko1983) reported

    @virginmedia your customer service is appalling. Nearly 5 hrs of phone calls in a month to try and sort my account, from the incorrect package, inability to link my virgin media/O2 ID to my account number to watch Virgin TV Go to now promised phone calls that don’t materialise

    @virginmedia Hi, I'm still having problems logging into my sky sports app on my phone. I can watch every channel on the TV go app for virgin media including TNT sports but it still won't allow me to view sky sports.

  • Bullpup2 Samantha Stancomb (@Bullpup2) reported

    @virginmedia Yes...but it doesn't go into mine. I had to sort out a new Virgin media/O2 login, download the app, get a message ten times to Gmail to click on, get a code to my phone, put in account information and get access to my husband's account!

  • notdiprincess diana smith (@notdiprincess) reported

    @virginMedia Please can anyone give a phone number to contact Virgin Media that will be answered by a person. I’ve tried their chat bot thing sent in a direct message to no avail. They close down the chat saying resolved but nothing changes
