  • thisisryanc
    Ryan Carrington (@thisisryanc) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Constantly drops out, coupled with frequently slow speeds. Price increases for a worsening service.

  • tinabadley
    Tina Badley (@tinabadley) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Same as about a month ago. Said I need to enter password. But doesn't work. Have tried resetting password. Still no good. Webmail says can't access my emails right now. And when I go to the sign in page it has my name as 'Jackie' top right though the main page says 'Hi Tina'.

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

    @virginmedia Why can’t anyone just forward a message or reply to an email? Why does the customer always have to do something else? Absolute ball ache as usual with this nonsense. Wonder how quickly you’d fix issues if people stopped paying their bills?

  • BRFCSamuel
    Sam 🏴‍☠️ (@BRFCSamuel) reported from Kingswood, England

    .@virginmedia telling us to sit and wait for 24 hours without internet just incase our Wi-Fi starts working again before they’ll actually do anything, great customer service… not 👍🏻

  • tuco_tuco
    WE ARE TUCO (@tuco_tuco) reported from Bristol, England

    Wow @virginmedia really can't sort their stuff out.......HELP its a joke

  • MTurnerNFL
    Matthew Turner (@MTurnerNFL) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Hi again guys. Exactly the same experience. They can't help me because by the time I've waited on hold, and weve discussed the problem again (for the 20th time or so), the problem has resolved. It's still happening 4 times an evening and it needs fixing. Please help.

  • algro10
    Al (@algro10) reported from Clevedon, England

    @10sam_h Yeah likewise, virgin media awful still not sorted it

  • DigitalJonathan
    Jonathan (@DigitalJonathan) reported from Bristol, England

    Looks like @virginmedia #virginmedia is down in Bristol again. Bravo. Idiots

  • williamjbrown
    william brown (@williamjbrown) reported from Bristol, England

    @BorisJohnson I can only get virginmedia (at an extortionate price) as it’s the only one who supply more than slow basic speeds - and this is the centre of bristol. Nothings improved for most of us - not only for this but everything else since you’ve wrecked our economy

  • chrisorman
    Chris Orman (@chrisorman) reported from Bradley Stoke, England

    Just spoken to @virginmedia customer services about red light on my hub. They GUARANTEED that the light will revert to white in the next 24 hours. Wonder what happen if their guarantee fails?

  • emmainglasgow
    emmainbristol (@emmainglasgow) reported from Bristol, England

    @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

  • MTurnerNFL
    Matthew Turner (@MTurnerNFL) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia The only issue I have with that is that every time I contact that number, the following happens: 1) I explain the issue, again 2) they advise me to follow the steps as are online, again, that I've already done, even though I say I've done them 3) they ask me to monitor 1/2

  • SamAndSnooper
    Sam&Snooper (@SamAndSnooper) reported from Bristol, England

    Looks like @virginmedia is down across the UK. The outage is so big it’s crashed their website.

  • dave_backwell
    David Lloyd (@dave_backwell) reported from Backwell, England

    Appalling customer service thread to follow about @VirginMedia. 6 months ago my partner and I moved in together. We were both customers with @virginmedia but for obvious reasons decided we only needed one account in our new house ...

  • xChuChux911
    Hi, call me Chu x (@xChuChux911) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia I never gave out any personal information as I knew it was a scam cus I'm with Sky. The number was 02045099664 but it was spoofed. Lady had an Indian accent and said technicians in my area had fould a fault which was affecting my computer.

  • LetRIP
    Matt (@LetRIP) reported from Thornbury, England

    @virginmedia Yes. That isn’t the point though. Your website has no information about how to contact you. And your web chat takes 1 hour to do the task of reporting bad speeds. Your contact support needs vast improvement.

  • vinnievoke
    vinnie voke (@vinnievoke) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia @virginhelp so 17h with no reply wicked costumer service

  • 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??

  • Andrea_Buffery
    Andrea Buffery (@Andrea_Buffery) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia is there an outage problem in BS8 (Bristol)? We’ve lost the internet and TV connection.

  • KieranTrvlr
    Kieran Traveller 🛫 🏰🚢 (@KieranTrvlr) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia I have, and I get an automated service that hangs up on me after sending a text. I just want to order wifipods. I’ve tested the speed in the app, but it’s not allowing me to do anything. Chat doesn’t work, and calling won’t let me speak to anyone.

    @y_alibhai @virginmedia Change your internet provider. Or ring their cancellation number and they'll likely push heaven and earth to help you then. If they don't, definitely change. I was with them years ago, absolute rubbish of a service.

  • Lifeline04India
    MR COOL (@Lifeline04India) reported

    @virginmedia Yes and one guy called and told i will receive few details as SMS including Re=feral bonus and referal entry, still i didnt receive, Please help

  • stefan655
    🐺 (@stefan655) reported

    @virginmedia I've just had one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever encountered over the phone. The representative I spoke to today was incredibly rude, dismissive, and unhelpful throughout the call!

  • JameskRobbo
    James Robertson (@JameskRobbo) reported

    @virginmedia make it impossible to cancel tv subscription. Unhelpful when I tell them the registered email is an old work email. They will get there equipment back smashed to pieces

  • GrumpyBiker1969
    Mr. Miyagi 🌴 (@GrumpyBiker1969) reported

    @O2 ever since you merged with virgin media trying to pay on your web site / app is impossible Been a customer for over 20 yrs Your service is diabolical

  • jonblackbsb
    Jonathan Black (@jonblackbsb) reported

    @virginmedia All I am getting is a bot replying to check the issue in the area At least 16 household know there is an ongoing issue for months Please resolve this rather than with fobbing us off with direction to plug and unplug etc

  • danny_9_morris
    Danny Morris (@danny_9_morris) reported

    @virginmedia Still intermittent, the app says no issues but clearly something is wrong

  • elantn5
    Peter john (@elantn5) reported

    Tired of paying for multiple subscriptions like Sky, BT Sport, Virgin Media, Now TV, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Apple TV+? I have got the solution. This IPTV @8K_World_IPTV3 offers:
• 300,000+ live channels
• 65,000+ VODs
• PPV events

  • DiBrander
    🏃‍♀️ 💯 Di Brander 💯 🏋️‍♀️ (@DiBrander) reported

    Disaster has struck the Brander household. The internet is down. Virgin Media said it could be up to 24 hours til they find/fix the fault. This is when you realise that the internet makes everything work, or not work.

    Paul ▶️ (@customerchamp1) reported

    Who remembers when @O2 customer service was good? Since the merger with the appalling @virginmedia it's been absolutely diabolical. Trying to help a vulnerable relative, been on hold for 45 minutes 🤮🤮🤮 to reset his password. Shameful.
