Chris Davis (@spurs6720) reported from Wellingborough, England@virginmedia Service is fine , pissed off they took £132 this week though when obviously no sport to view
-
Jason Flynn 💙 (@jasondflynn) reported from Letchworth Garden City, England@StMirrenDaft @virginmedia @mat_fraser One of the key issues is their router. It’s rubbish and has programming which means main signal isn’t direct for WiFi. I had this problem; buy another router and turn Virgin one into modem. It solved my problem.
-
Jason Flynn 💙 (@jasondflynn) reported from Letchworth Garden City, England@virginmedia @Ofcom - can you help with this situation? As you monitor, telecoms companies; Do you think 3-hours worth of phone calls, being cut off 3 times and 80 minutes on WhatsApp (and counting) is good enough service from @virginmedia just to renew a contract ? #virginmedia
-
Garry Solomon Photography (@gsolomonphoto) reported from Rushden, England@virginmedia chat service is down, no one to answer technical calls, a website that sends you round and round in circles! Is it at all possible that someone is still working who can solve my broadband issues before I cancel my direct debit?
-
Abi (@ABeeeABeee) reported from Stotfold, England@virginmedia No, I have done that countless times since yesterday morning and the issue isn’t being resolved. I’m not doing it again

Mick Rooksby 🔰🎯🎯 🔰 (@MickRooksby) reported from Rushden, England@virginmedia my wife @sj_rooksby has been ringing u this morning first time for 30+ mins and someone hung up and then again for 56mins before being hung up on again she only wants to add cinema and Disney plus one well and truly pissed off customer
-
Jason Flynn 💙 (@jasondflynn) reported from Letchworth Garden City, England@AdamDea29742908 @virginmedia But buying one between £50 and £200 will probably suit most and if it turns out it doesn’t solve your problems it hasn’t broken the bank. I went for an Asus one at about £120. Netgear is another strong brand. I had poor WiFi for years and it was a massive improvement. 2/2
-
Abi (@ABeeeABeee) reported from Stotfold, EnglandCan honestly say I don’t think I’ve ever received customer service as poorly as I have from @virginmedia this weekend/this morning. Absolutely disgusting 😡😡😡
-
Jason Flynn 💙 (@jasondflynn) reported from Letchworth Garden City, England@VisctFishpond @virginmedia I had similar problems to you; got the runaround from Virgin. Lots of research done and the issue is almost certainly the router. You can buy a third-party router and turn the virgin router into a modem. Solved all my problems. Worth a try.

Holly O (@ohhollygosh) reported from Biggleswade, England@virginmedia Hi, are there any known issues in SG18? Our wifi has been dropping out a lot over the last 3 days or so
-
Chris Walker (@chris87uk) reported from Wootton, England@virginmedia neighbours and myself are having problems with our tv and internet but your web test and web status says nothing wrong . MK43 9BS area . Tv channels and internet intermittent
-
Jay Atkins (@jay_atkins7) reported from Eaton Socon, England@virginmedia trying to book an engineer to come out as my Internet has been down for over a week now and having no luck over the phone as it keeps cutting us off, can you help please.
-
Jason Flynn 💙 (@jasondflynn) reported from Letchworth Garden City, England@virginmedia Sorry but the old ‘we don’t have email addresses’ doesn’t work. Everyone does. It’s just company policy not to hand them out. The key issue is that with this level of service, someone should say ‘leave it with us, we’ll look into it and someone will get back to you’ 1/2
-
Kefaloniaman23 (@KevinSaunders23) reported from Flitwick, England@virginmedia just how much longer can we be expected to wait for you to get this problem sorted no TV all day, will this loss see us getting some sort of refund on our next bill???
-
Su Felce (@swimmingsu) reported from Cardington, EnglandSo frustrated with @virginmedia spend over an hour on hold only to be cut off by their customer service rep #whatcustomerservice #frustrated #zerocustomerservice
-
Paul Watts (@paulwatts003) reported from Biggleswade, EnglandFor the 4th time this weekend, @virginmedia is down. 4th time in actually less than 2days! I’m back to work tomorrow - from home. Am I’m going to end up losing money due to this incompetence?? No confidence in this company.
-
Justine (@Just_Woodbridge) reported from Wellingborough, England@virginmedia can you please confirm that you ask for debit card details to look in to account problems/problems with broadband?
-
✨kate✨ (@ushererofsouls) reported from Harlington, England@virginmedia Hi. I can see there’s an ongoing issue with the TV in my area with fix date of 1600hrs 25th. This has been going on for over a week now & the blips/surges through the box & it constantly resetting is becoming really annoying & has even taken the wifi out sometimes.
-
Nancy Paladina (@NPaladina) reported from Bedford, England@virginmedia Had to have a really tough call this evening to query a bill sent to my deceased father’s address. I want to highlight the exceptional customer service I received from Franco (no idea how else to identify him), but he was truly amazing and did everything he could 👏🏼
-
Jason Flynn 💙 (@jasondflynn) reported from Letchworth Garden City, England@virginmedia @mouthwaite Hi John; just jumping in on this. You really need to start advising customers properlyit doesn’t matter how many technicians visit it won’t solve the problem of the poor standard router and your default settings.

(Re)Search & Destroy (@TruthAsylum121) reportedTHREAD 5 — VODAFONE, BT AND THE TELECOMS NETWORK The French side is only part of the story. In Britain, telecommunications companies have developed programmes providing connectivity through charities and other organisations supporting people experiencing digital exclusion. Vodafone is one of the clearest examples. Its charities.connected programme provides participating charities with SIM cards carrying data, calls and texts. Vodafone has documented the scheme being used by organisations supporting refugees and asylum seekers. Then there is BT. This is different because it isn’t a charitable donation. In March 2024, the Home Office awarded BT a £528,000 contract for data-only SIM cards for asylum seekers. The contract was procured by the Home Office team responsible for asylum support, resettlement and non-detained accommodation. And this is only part of the corporate network. Virgin Media O2 is involved in the National Databank, Community Calling and technology-lending programmes. Three is another major National Databank connectivity partner. The technology companies aren’t operating in isolation. They connect into a much wider system. And that brings us to the National Databank.

(Re)Search & Destroy (@TruthAsylum121) reportedTHREAD 9 — COMMUNITY CALLING AND THE MONEY BEHIND THE DEVICES The Community Calling programme gives us another important part of the story. Virgin Media O2 and Hubbub have worked together to collect and redistribute unwanted smartphones. Migrant Help has been one of the organisations receiving devices for asylum seekers and refugees. Then there is the Tech Lending Community Fund. The first phase was worth £400,000 and supported charity partners to establish tablet-lending hubs. The projects included organisations such as Thames Reach, the Kurdish and Middle Eastern Women’s Organisation, Willowacre Trust, Refuge and Leeds Refugee Forum, with tablets and O2 data being made available through the programme. In Swansea, around 700 donated phones were distributed through a Community Calling project, with O2 providing 12 months of free data, calls and texts. Swansea Asylum Seekers Support made 127 referrals to the scheme in 2021. Its records also show £8,175 spent on phone top-ups, covering 1,160 £10 top-ups. There was another £2,400 provided by Hay Brecon Talgarth Sanctuary for Refugees. The funding came through organisations including the Moondance Foundation, Comic Relief/SCVS Emergency Fund and Welsh Government/SCVS Integration Care Fund. This is where the investigation starts moving beyond technology companies. There is philanthropic money. There is council money. There is Government money. There is corporate money. And there are charities distributing the resulting technology.

Darc Knight (@DarcKni68649817) reportedIt is the truth. Virgin subscription from £85 to £254 a month because contract expired and they’ll never contact you. This is affecting millions of people @virginmedia can you explain this bullshit?
