    Absolutely disgusted that @virginmedia feels it’s ok to cancel installing my nans landline not once but twice and give a new installation date of 10th September. For a landline she desperately needs for an emergency pendant.

    @NeilCastle @benno86222551 @SteinerJar @virginmedia I feel like that’s what my post was. Bear in mind, this is not new. I’ve sent this feedback over and over, and the response is always to give me a ton of work and testing to do, and then the problem resolves itself and they take no responsibility.

  • MattJ0lly Matt Jolly (@MattJ0lly) reported from Bishop's Stortford, England

    Virgin Media you are absolutely disgusting cutting off my service in a pandemic after being told that I will pay my bill when I get my government money 😡😡fuming is not the word 😡😡

  • booshtukka Antony Kennedy (@booshtukka) reported from Epping, England

    @harryhpalmer @RWoody1995 @SirWalterSmith9 @virginmedia Their approach of not telling anyone when things are broken, and that in fact the service status page always shows everything is fine. Or telling us afterwards when it’s fixed. Or in any way owning their failures in service.

  • Wayneo_75 Wayne Hemmings (@Wayneo_75) reported from Broxbourne District, England

    @virginmedia Just Get a Engineer to sort the Problem out in Areas that’s all it takes to keep Customers happy

  • Damofitz Damien Fitzgerald (@Damofitz) reported

    @virginmedia This is taking the utter piss now. Not only have I not resolved the first issue, you have just generated another bill for the same mobile that is supposed to be part of the package

  • Markycot Mark Cottrill (@Markycot) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, finally, they have said they will send out a different power supply, this is unacceptable delays and problems!

  • FGuerrouani Flo Guerrouani (@FGuerrouani) reported

    @virginmedia I've called this number at least a dozen time throughout Jan & Feb and they kept saying the issue would be fixed at 6pm the same day. That's why I'm contacting you here today to get clear answers which I can't get from the faults team #losingmyvirginit @Ofcom

  • janescloud Jane (@janescloud) reported

    @MPIainDS people in the E4 area have been unable to work for days due to the @virginmedia internet service having 0 upload speed. Every day they say it will be fixed by 2pm, every day it’s not fixed. Can you escalate this? They will not compensate for loss of earnings.

  • Damofitz Damien Fitzgerald (@Damofitz) reported

    @virginmedia I can't get through by phone, the community page is a joke as no one can do anything, the chat service is pointless as by the time you get a reply, the agent has finished for the day and the new person has to start fresh or they book a bloody engineer.

  • Deb1961Deb Deborah Marks (@Deb1961Deb) reported

    @virginmedia Hmmm if you class a short outage as an 'improvement'?

  • Wandster Rich H Wand (@Wandster) reported

    @virginmedia We are suffering ongoing issues. Today is ok so far. I can't afford to spend hours phoning VM every time there is an issue. And our issue is the same for everyone on the street, so one person from our group calls and then updates the rest of the group.

  • janescloud Jane (@janescloud) reported

    @virginmedia It says the problem will be fixed by 2pm. It has said that every day for a week. I’ve escalated the problem to my local MP as no on in the area can work if they need to send anything bigger than a basic email.

  • tony_pharo Tony pharo (@tony_pharo) reported

    @virginmedia Not at home today but was terrible yesterday. I have even spent £200 on a signal booster from BT to get WiFi all over my house! Is this refundable?

  • FincUnderscoreH 𝐹𝒾𝓃𝒸_𝐻 (@FincUnderscoreH) reported
