    @virginmedia John I have done all that already. And it’s not worked. I have spoken with my IT support and they confirm this is a problem with your servers. How are you proposing to sort this out for me please?? I’m paying for a service @virginmedia is not providing.

    @virginmedia is everything down in BS1? Trying to work and can't send any emails 🙄

  • neilcairns
    Neil Cairns (@neilcairns) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Yes. Powered down, switched off etc etc. Why would only certain content not delete and other content delete fine? Doesn’t make sense?

  • gingermurkin
    Alexandra Powell (@gingermurkin) reported from Patchway, England

    @virginmedia Issue with virgin mobiles not accepting incoming calls, going straight to voicemail. Was told this would be resolved last night but still not working. Any resolution ETA??

  • Yippers
    Amy (@Yippers) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Email to say it was resolved by offer of an apology which I never accepted so I called customer services who offered the credit of overpayment onto my account which I’m still waiting for.

    @virginmedia running with some issue with some of your staff member. As they promise me to Install a broadband at my house but now ignore 🧐

  • craigcapes
    Craig Capel (@craigcapes) reported from Bristol, England

    The £ gleaned by both @virginmedia and @SkySports in making it difficult for fee/ subscription paying members to watch “each others” content must clearly outweigh the customer service calls and complaints 🤬

    @virginmedia The service checker just says its down but doesn't tell me what's going on.

    @virginmedia I have spent 7hrs40mins today in a WhatsApp chat with your customer services trying to terminate my broadband and still haven't finalised it. I will be cancelling my DD as I am paid up until May 4th and your hub will be available for you to collect if you wish

    @virginmedia what's the deal, my box hasn't worked for 2 days??? This is the 3rd technical problem lasting more than 2 days that I've had this year. This is ridiculous now

    So many scammers calling from '@VirginMedia Technical Support' at the moment. 5 in 24 hours. I've taken to suggesting they might think about getting a different job but heartbreaking to get the response, 'can you give me one?' It's basically #organisedcrime built on #poverty

Virgin Media Issues Reports

  • AndyFormUK
    Andy Form (@AndyFormUK) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia We have an issue that’s been going on for 12months. As soon as my wife uses her laptop everything else in the house stop working, Xbox, streaming, even phones. I have 350 GB package and was told I need to upgrade my package to the top one to “fix” the issue. 10 plus calls, hours on hold been past from different departments, engineer visits that don’t turn up and engineers that turn up and say there is a issue with it and someone will be touch when it’s fixed. £40 goodwill I was offered and a call 2 months ago, I’ve even up trying.

  • Anumcaras
    Anumcara (@Anumcaras) reported

    @virginmedia I will be in touch by Monday. I’ve just discovered two layers of payments added to my credit file. Although there was no services connected because your call centre signed me up with an engineer. Knowing I was leaving the country and I needed the internet for my cctv. I was reluctant but rejoined sky and your call centre refused to cancel and persuaded me to move the account to a different address. An address that’s under renovation and empty. There’s something afoot about how all this has been handled and I will be requesting my credit file is amended with your support. Going forth I will update publicly on this thread any success or failures I have with these issues.

  • ConstantineEmma
    Emma Constantine 💙 (@ConstantineEmma) reported

    @Plusnet please can you help-we have been in contact with you numerous times without a resolution over an issue with our switch to you from Virgin media-Virgin are saying we owe them hundreds of pounds which we don’t as we had switched to you.

  • PercivalPeabody
    Steve Hard (@PercivalPeabody) reported

    @Benleo In the end, I wasn't prepared to waste my time trying to get blood from a stone, so I called my bank to report it as fraud. Whether they put it down as fraud or not, I don't know, but they knew all about Virgin Media and did a chargeback for me.

  • fsmith82
    F Smith (@fsmith82) reported

    @virginmedia no internet as box is out of date (family member had same issue a few weeks ago) & engineer can’t come until Monday. Why aren’t you contacting customers to upgrade BEFORE we loose a service we pay for???????

    @virginmedia @RobRollin2 If you have the 1gb they are free plus most WiFi issues are due to devices & not the service. Plus you can if want put in modem mode & use your own equipment
