-
Benjamin Hartrey (@benj8min) reported from Cardiff, Wales@virginmedia A laughable statement in all honesty you're known for terrible service, demonstrated by the line "Package changes". Who said package changes? I have a TV package, I signed up for, have a contract for and have been using since June. It's disappeared your end, I have the docs.
-
Trudi Foster (@MsWhippet1) reported from St. Julians, Wales@virginmedia I was told to wait in this morning between 8am - 12pm for an engineer to fix my broadband. It's now 2pm and no sign of an engineer. I was told I'd be charged £25 if I missed the appointment. I think I should charge you for having to hang around for 6 hours waiting.

andy lanyon (@andylance1977) reported from Newport, Wales@virginmedia It works intermittently. This has been discussed over a series of phone calls through 12 months. A booster box has been sent too and its still poor. We're paying for a service we can't use when we want to. The TV box is next to the WiFi box downstairs & is still poor.

Steve Mowat (@SteveMowat4) reported from Weston-super-Mare, England@bristolbluegas @virginmedia @HiveHelper If someone could own a problem it would help. The engineer that came out today said, I just install hubs mate, I’m not authorised to lift man hole covers. Virgin told me yesterday this would be their “priority technician” that could fix everything. What a joke

Debzy G 🦅🐦⬛🦉 (@brummiedebz) reported@virginmedia @HopeForTo There are people from various areas of the UK telling you that they have a WiFi outage at the same time Service checker confirms it for those who’ve told you. Which means it’s not an equipment issue. It’s a Virgin Media national issue and yet no announcement on here
-
Samet (@Samet_UK) reported@virginmedia No response for my DM No Wifi Called customer service and no result and still no any update or information about the outage. I will complain about Virgin Media.
-
David Owens (@DavidOw38948049) reported@virginmedia 1/2 As Virgin do not have a email Address and as a non customer I am unable to send the following “I am the owner/occupier of [address will be given in a email) This external box and cables are unused, unwanted, and not covered by any agreement binding me. See page 2
-
Debzy G 🦅🐦⬛🦉 (@brummiedebz) reported@shashpatel23 @virginmedia @HopeForTo Honestly, it’s a joke! Saying 8:07pm fix time here in Birmingham! If I hadn’t been forced to upgrade my V6 box to 360 software I’d still be able to access the tv channels!! But because 360 relies on wifi connection I can’t get any tv!! 🤯🤯😡😡

THE Rev. Quantum Bigfoot ♿️ #FLTG OG Anti-RGB OAP (@RevQntmBigfoot) reportedLooks like Virgin Media/O2 have had a security breach or someone from within the company is selling customer information Just had several attempts to access my O2 account (using address that has only been used/given to O2) & a load of SPAM to same address Roll on November⏳
-
Shaun (@shauny67) reported@virginmedia @weyland76 From your picture it is not a Virgin issue it's your device, it's not released the network connection from the mobile connection. Best response is to restart to device then will connect stop blaming Virgin
-
You’re Just Listening 😀 (@ChatchoMan) reported@MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK If Virgin Media are such money grabbing filth that they don’t want to believe a grieving person that contacts them and just terminate the contract they should at least backdate it based on the death certificate. Anything other than that is disgraceful.
-
JR (@Dadyougeek) reportedBeing told by the customer service team at @virginmedia that if I’m not happy I can cancel my contract after being on hold for an hour and no internet for a week! Oh the joys
