Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England@virginmedia Official complaint I’m afraid. They said ‘I’ll book an engineer’ I said ‘that was booked for tomorrow but you cancelled it’ She gets aggressive and it’s hard to understand what she’s saying and says ‘do you want an engineer or not.’ Sorry but this is truly shocking service.

Matt (@mattiem1976) reported from Sompting, England@virginmedia It shouldn't of happened in first place really disappointed in this as I have been a customer over 25 years

Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England@virginmedia Hi, we had an engineer around Saturday but it’s not really made much difference. It’s still intermittently dropping out and pretty slow too. What do you suggest to correct this?
-
Angel sirius (@Angelsirius1) reported from Worthing, England@virginmedia Hi, i am having some issues with the youtube app, i spoke to youtube they said to try uninstalling reinstalling the app, something i am unable to do as you provide this. It will just not load a video or whilst a playlist is playing it goes black.

ydnam (@dizzymabil) reported from Sompting, England@virginmedia It's OK. I'll leave it Last call cost me over £8 & I didn't even get to speak to anyone. Ridiculously poor support

-
Mark Cherrie (@MarkCherrie) reported from Brighton and Hove, EnglandSo far I’ve had three promised appointments from @virginmedia but sadly three no shows. We’ve had intermittent broadband for about 6 months now and just can’t seem to get the problem fixed.
-
Matt (@mattiem1976) reported from Sompting, England@virginmedia getting 17gb download speed on 100gb service ??? Surely this isn't correct I should of stated with sky
-
Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England@virginmedia Hi, the interruption is ongoing so I’m guessing we have faulty equipment? When I go onto the website it tells me to ‘reset’ which I do and it works for a while then goes wrong again. Can we sort a new router? Is that the issue?

Jonathan 🏳️🌈🇪🇺 & 🏳️⚧️ ally (he/him) (@logically_fuzzy) reported from Brighton and Hove, England@maecoloma8 @virginmedia It's awful, I'm in a basement flat so only get 4g if I sit by the window!

Scott Hortop (@scotthortop) reported from Brighton and Hove, England@virginmedia All your cable services are down right now, but can you explain why I can't access the programs recorded on the hard drive my virgin box? That makes no sense...
-
Sami Channon (@sami_chanchan) reported from Worthing, England@virginmedia @virginmedia I physically can’t take my service with me because you don’t supply the area & I cant keep it where I am as I am being kicked out of my home, I am not choosing to leave virgin you just can’t provide me a service.

-
Patrick Woodward (@pwvoiceovers) reported from Worthing, England@virginmedia You asked me to contact you to fix an issue but there are no options to do so. Phone number, when I found it, just led to a bot. Poor service.
-
Alternative Ageing (@alternativeage) reported from Brighton and Hove, England@virginmedia It’s happening way to regularly. I’ve lost a whole days work up to now, do I get compensation? Spent an hour yesterday morning sorting out yet more issues as a result of the outage over the w/e. 🥲
-
Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England@virginmedia So… are you saying work is being carried out today. Wait until tomorrow and then if still bad book an engineer? I can live with that. But the person I spoke to had no idea about that and just booked an engineer again. Can I ask have other people raised area issues?

Gary Adams (@GazzaAdams) reported@virginmedia I need this escalated as a formal complaint regarding fault **F012421201**, because the information Virgin Media is providing has now become demonstrably contradictory. At **08:01 today, 20 August**, Virgin Media told me: “Our engineer is on site and they're working to fix the problem.” The estimated repair time given was **18:00 today**. At **15:27 today**, after I have been without service for most of the day, Virgin Media has now told me: “We have identified the problem and an engineer is on their way.” The estimated repair time has also been moved to **14:10 tomorrow, 21 August**. These statements cannot both accurately describe the progress of the same fault. An engineer who was already **on site and working on the problem at 08:01** cannot subsequently be **“on their way” at 15:27** without some explanation. I fully understand that a complex network fault may take longer to repair than initially anticipated, and that estimated restoration times can change. That is not my complaint. My complaint is that Virgin Media is repeatedly providing contradictory factual information about the status of the repair, while I remain without the service I am paying for. I consequently have no confidence in the estimated restoration times being provided. Please therefore: 1. **Log this as a formal complaint and provide me with the complaint reference.** 2. Confirm the actual current status of fault **F012421201**, rather than repeating the automated status information. 3. Explain how an engineer could be reported as on site and working at 08:01 but “on their way” at 15:27. 4. Confirm when the outage affecting my service officially began and that the full period of loss of service has been recorded against my account. 5. Confirm what automatic compensation I will be entitled to for the complete loss of service, where applicable. I have retained screenshots of the outage updates and their timestamps. Please respond to the specific points above rather than sending me another automated repair estimate.

Sana (@LadySs) reported@virginmedia service team have been truly abysmal in dealing with the situation involving a 91-year old lady who was out of contract. She was repeatedly told to check your emails unacceptable given her age and circumstances.The lack of compassion and understanding shown is bad

Liesl_ (@_lliesl_) reportedThis is not a *me* problem I went into an O2 store who told me that there was a known issue with the O2/Virgin media set up. I do not care. I expect to be able to access my account. I expect to be able to take the offer to change my tariff
