    @virginmedia I tried to get help but didn’t get through to anyone just a text sent to my mobile telling me how to fix it but no joy. Checked the forums and turns out I’m not alone and the upgrade is rubbish so just stuck it in the cupboard.. hopeless!

    Derek Scott (@DegsyScott) reported from Grangemouth, Scotland

    @benjitindz @virginmedia To be fair, the speed is the best option and I’m on 250mbps whereas the best I’d get on ADSL is 10-34mbps. Agreed, customer service is worse than a RyanAir equivalent

    @virginmedia Neither of these things have happened. The last person on the help desk that I spoke to denied that the account was associated with my VM account and did not want to talk to me. Nothing happens when the Help Desk can't sort it themselves Please deal with this.

    @virginmedia Well as usual you are not proactive to customers informing them of a lack of service. You instead are always reactive when someone complains and slow to compensate for loss of service. Your frequency of drop outs in service are held as secretive.

    @virginmedia I also phoned to report on Thursday but was then told yesterday there was no record of that so must be lying. The customer service on the phone is truly atrocious. Your services are great when they work, your customer services the opposite.

    @virginmedia TiVo box down... No broadband or TV for the last hour in EH4. Called and your tests say there is nothing wrong but try resetting the box. 🤔 Done 3 times while waiting 50mins on your customer 'No' service answering my call! 😡

    Abhishek BEHL (@iABehl) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia I would like help / assistance in setting up my new account. I received 3 missed calls today from your sales team and when I did call back nothing productive happened. I have a severely disabled daughter and we need the new account to be activated as we have alot of…

    @virginmedia Thank you, but, hey...they didn't fool me...just thought you should know and maybe warn others. I've had 'it' before but fortunately never been 'taken in'.

    @virginmedia You are a disgrace. Two phone calls this morning and passed from one customer service person to another and then both calls cut off ...been a customer over fifteen years where is your help for people

    @O2 Hi, My virgin media and O2 account are the exact same email address, but I am not getting double data. Can you please help? I tried calling your customer services but never got great support...

    @biker_Ian @Craids Think I'll be changing no. My @virginmedia still down. Shocking service 🤬

  • vivhaig
    Viv Haig (@vivhaig) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia Yes I’ve done all of that and my phone is saying ‘Check phone line’. My land line has been off since last Friday. Ever since it was swapped over to your fibre network and the new adapter fitted to the back of the router. I’m paying for a service I’m not receiving.

  • PatMcCarthy37
    Patrick McCarthy (@PatMcCarthy37) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia What is going on with your email service? You don't recognise my password causing me to keep changing it and now you've locked me out and stopped me doing that. Awful service.

  • vcash78
    victoria carolina (@vcash78) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia Since yesterday afternoon. I was working so not entirely sure but approx 24 hours. £160 a month to be without even “free” channels. I am aware nothing is without fault but the poor customer service and lack of ability to locate/tell us what the issue is, is appalling.

  • lethalshirl
    Shirley Monteith (@lethalshirl) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia I am going round in circles trying to speak to someone or email you with problems I’m having with broadband & TV! Your system keeps knocking me back - I just want help! #frustratededinburgh

  • philippawrightt
    Philippa Wright (@philippawrightt) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia Read my tweet. I have been sent a “resolution” already. Which advised to return the box/speak to online chat if further issues. As I have pointed out multiple times I have already returned the box. This is absolutely infuriating at this point.

  • SobukweScozia
    James Smith 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇮🇹🇿🇦 (@SobukweScozia) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia I’ve no internet, phone or tv in South Edinburgh - following intermittent internet for days. Your fault checker says there is no service fault yet your website does not allow me to book an engineer. Can you help?

  • lfinn777
    liam finn (@lfinn777) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia Is this in progress? I haven't seen any resolution?

    @virginmedia any idea why my internet keeps dropping off. No issues that I can see in the area. Been doing it for two days now.

  • lexo6647
    Acky (@lexo6647) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia as it was tiresome and he can’t get through to anyone. The same problem I had today. He has his phone, broadband and tv with you. His mobile as well I reckon. Having spent a good bit time today going through all the stuff on the phone to eventually be hung up on is infuriating

    @virginmedia 3 times in the last 2 days my broadband has been down for, around 5 hours this morning and again for the past hour! Get your **** together before I move to different provider along with a lot of other people. Don’t even offer any compensation for an outage, shocking!

  • EdenPrime88

    @virginmedia could you please reply to a complaint submitted for account 141321301 Area 02. The situation has gotten absolutely ridiculous

  • JustMike2K24
    Michael Day (@JustMike2K24) reported

    @virginmedia My WiFi and overall service has been up and down for over 2 weeks now. I’ve done all of the trouble shooting. I’ve checked the service. I done the old switch off and on. I just need to get somebody to visit and do it as I am unable to wfh because of it.

  • BazingaSmth

    @virginmedia Any problems with voice service ? My TV remote is no longer recognising voice commands. Remote is working and I rebooted box. Just get spinning "listening" icon

  • IanScott_01
    Ian Scott (@IanScott_01) reported

    @virginmedia I have emailed the ResolutionsTeam this morning regarding an ongoing issue. Does this email get monitored and can I expect a call back from them?

    entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported

    Day EIGHT of my complete broadband outage with @virginmedia 😡 However there IS hope. Today an engineer from them is supposed to be arriving-so trying to be positive What a complete nightmare of an experience this has been, so I'm REALLY hoping this will be the turning point🤞

  • JamesRustles4
    Mr. Gringx 🔩 (@JamesRustles4) reported

    @JONEZZEEonMMA @GameRiot Having been with virgin media previously, Id have killed to have my internet only be down for four hours. I remember one summer we only HAD internet for 4 hours. Shocking service.

  • simmo1024
    Stanley Percival Simmonds (@simmo1024) reported

    In addition, ISP have controls that block content. Virgin Media for example have a fairly fine-tunable system. If you go into any school of college, their internet is filtered. The technology exists to enable the bill payer to control internet access. But of course this is not, and never has been about protecting children, it is about digital ID.

    Seno (@SenosLIVE) reported

    @virginmedia please get your **** together, 3rd day in a row internet goes down at 9pm with no solution to the problem other than check back in 24hours. I’m paying £40 a month not for this. Soon it’s gonna be time to switch providers
