  • serenium Serenium (@serenium) reported from Stafford, England

    @williamtm @virginmedia So virgin media don’t support it then. that is not “nothing supports it” Yell at virgin. BT is fine, although they do need to differentiate their treatment of ipv4 vs ipv6 icmp in their default firewall rules

  • Lacie_Adams1 Lacie_Adams (@Lacie_Adams1) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @PatchworkBoyPW @virginmedia They wont have a clue. I had issues for about 6 months and I was constantly trying to sort it out. Engineers are great but the "customer service" team are based in India and have no customer service skills 🤙

  • unit_1974 🐺WereWolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England

    @pie1883 @virginmedia Already had multiple calls over years, with poor to not resolution of problems. Then hassle phone calls trying to get us to switch packages when we opted to cancel and failure to respond to complaints and such… It’s like being hounded.

  • glynn_lauren Lauren Glynn (@glynn_lauren) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia c130 issue is the name of my life. No network issues in my area, restart the box, every week anything longer than an hour on Netflix is unwatchable 😫

  • serenium Serenium (@serenium) reported from Stafford, England

    @williamtm @virginmedia 1&1, bt, EE, sky, zen and talk talk all support v6 afaik. The ONLY major (by number of subscribers) ISP that doesn’t is virgin. The smallest of the big 4 is talk talk and numbers 5-10 of the top 10 added together are still half the size of talk talk.

  • jamies144 J (@jamies144) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia That it can not login.

  • photo_bloke Mike Hillman (@photo_bloke) reported from Stafford, England

    @virginmedia If you really wanted me to stay and you valued me as a customer you would have respected my original request when i was first called and we wouldn't be here now Learn the lessons from this - do what customers ask show them some respect and stop bothering them with unwanted calls

  • grimm_karl Grimm (@grimm_karl) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Shocking customer service signed up a few weeks ago for fibre given an installation date called the day before to ask me when I would like to book the install then telling me they have a problem on the site and will get in touch in 7 days.

  • MidWorldMo ooom (@MidWorldMo) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @SammyDamage Virgin media are an expensive shit show of a service I just want a 'strong and stable' WiFi signal in my bedroom. (See what I did there 😝)

  • DixeyBaker Sharon Baker (@DixeyBaker) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia why can I never get through .... I get a letter saying please call us ...... 25 mins on hold so far .... so frustrating

  • Lacie_Adams1 Lacie_Adams (@Lacie_Adams1) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @virginmedia internet down again, youd think I'd be used to this by now 🤣 always an excuse and never get anything back for the lack of usage. I'm barely in the house using it so dread to think how many times it goes down when I'm not in potentially using it 🤙

  • photo_bloke Mike Hillman (@photo_bloke) reported from Stafford, England

    @virginmedia (3/3) I'm the customer, and I would like to think you would accommodate my wishes and show me some respect as one of the people who ultimately pay for your profits. I will not, however, be a customer for much longer

  • Lbacollections Laura-Jayne Brushett (@Lbacollections) reported from Birmingham, England

    @SkyHelpTeam @virginmedia So 5 hours later and the rearranging of my house move has produced a "mismatch" on ur system meaning I have to wait 24hrs to ring u again and start over. What a terrible service!

  • MattyladKRO Matt Smith (@MattyladKRO) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia It’s not about my package ...virgin will not show in HD they’ve told me ..so it’s down to you to answer...please

  • mo4g_777 mo4g (@mo4g_777) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia services for broadband once again not working B42,

  • photo_bloke Mike Hillman (@photo_bloke) reported from Stafford, England

    @virginmedia (3/3) I trust that when I call to cancel and switch, the call will be straightforward with no fuss and will be less than 2 minutes with no drawn out attempts to get me to stay

  • mredwards Mark Edwards (@mredwards) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia Yes and all it did was tell me that our kitchen is a WiFi dead zone... The main issue is that we have loads of devices and I think we are overloading our hub’s capabilities.

  • photo_bloke Mike Hillman (@photo_bloke) reported from Stafford, England

    And now @AmazonUK have managed to join @virginmedia on the list of companies who've managed to p**s me off today with poor service They all seem to forget who pays their bills....

  • PhilTonks2 Phil Tonks (@PhilTonks2) reported from Dudley, England

    @WalnutTalking Moved to Virgin Media from TalkTalk last month. Best thing I did. Quite honestly the worst company I have ever dealt with.

  • mo4g_777 mo4g (@mo4g_777) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia has WiFi in perry barr gone down

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • ProfBorkensnoot James (@ProfBorkensnoot) reported

    @virginmedia I've had an outstanding complaint open since 31st Jan. No contact, no help, only lies and being fobbed off. Need someone from your onshore executive complaints team to contact me immediately as there's a data breach element and nobody will listen.

  • ProfBorkensnoot James (@ProfBorkensnoot) reported

    @virginmedia Crib notes: Moved house, VM sent my contract to a 3rd party, data breach resolution somehow broke my account, VM failed to set up DD, unable to view my account to do anything, you cut my service off on 4th Feb and I lost income trying to fix it. C-3101221741

  • Jatkins__ Josh (@Jatkins__) reported

    @virginmedia so I wasn't able to report the loss of service or get service updates as your website wasn't working on Saturday and according to that webpage that means I won't be compensated despite having to work from a hotspot all Satuday and this being the second incident in a month?

  • Jatkins__ Josh (@Jatkins__) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia It’s working as of this morning but that’s a 48hr outage with no explanation why and no realistic reconnection time given. Could you advise on the process for claiming compensation?

  • rajdeepmaur Rajdeep Sohi (@rajdeepmaur) reported

    @virginmedia absolutely Rubbish Coustmer service, my contact finished not they r not cancelling, on spent abt 1 hour on phone, been transferred 4 different people at the they disconnected call 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

  • LiamABlack Liam Black (@LiamABlack) reported

    @virginmedia Why is your service so unreliable?

  • itsswc S (@itsswc) reported

    @virginmedia I don’t use a wired connection. I called customer service and it said any issues should be fixed by 9am, although online diagnostics is showing no issues in my area? E8 London. Still nothing with multiple hard resets…

  • XJP_IV XJP (@XJP_IV) reported

    @virginmedia Down AGAIN today! This is beyond a joke.

  • davidzwirn David Zwirn (@davidzwirn) reported

    @virginmedia Residential - we have an account already but adding an additional service - your system and people don’t seem to know how to deal with that conundrum! I will take out whatever account type you need me to take out to get the service - I JUST WANT SOMEONE TO CALL ME BACK WHEN !!

  • RossiTardelli RossiTardelliAltobelli (@RossiTardelli) reported

    hey @virginmedia any idea of why there are constant outages in N8 (Area 15)? Service status messages keep promising to fix by 6pm, but this has been going on for a week. Some relevant and detailed information would be handy given your pricey services.
