    @virginmedia Hi, I've been on the website & phone help for 2 hrs trying to get contact number changed on our acct (it's incorrect & won't save any edit via any device) but can't get a route to the correct help. We have an engineer coming who needs correct number, what can I do?

    Dr Mantis Toboggan M.D. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇪🇺 (@DazzlingHamster) reported from Merton, England

    @virginmedia is there a fault in the SW20 area? No internet since last night and your service checker is not working either.

  • AntonBrooksAMB
    🔰 Brooks 🔰 (@AntonBrooksAMB) reported from Merton, England

    @virginmedia Intermittent and then completely down. Maybe a day or two ago, multiple times over the course of this issue

  • declan1968
    Declan Higgins ☘ (@declan1968) reported from Southwark, England

    @virginmedia Oh yeah. Nothing that explains why it keeps happening though. Fix dates are usually meaningless. Feels like we're being rationed.

  • HazanJJ
    JJ Hazan (@HazanJJ) reported from Blackheath, England

    @virginmedia Still down in Lewisham SE8 for me

  • PieFaceMark
    mark (@PieFaceMark) reported from Poplar, England

    Absolute nightmare with @virginmedia arranging new package. Since agreeing package deal yesterday I've received FOUR different emails telling me I'm gonna be paying four different amounts, all higher than what was agreed. Absolutely terrible customer service and real headache

  • AdamHMatthews
    Adam H-Matthews (@AdamHMatthews) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia How does £8.40 a day cover 2 people unable to work for a full day? Still no contact from Virgin engineer or any comment on what the issue is? The time to fix the issue just keeps getting later.

  • TravellingAdam

    Virgin why do I keep losing my mobile network? @virginmedia (been trying to post this since 11am lol) as I have virgin broadband as well. 😤

  • PJacksonClark
    #TeamParkinsons Paul (@PJacksonClark) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia Thanks KF for your speedy reply. But since "Frankie Bot" and I started chatting three hours ago via customer service chat I've been left waiting. Is that as good as it gets?

  • Semykaya
    Sema Kaya Ocakoglu (@Semykaya) reported from Merton, England

    @virginmedia Customer services are unexperienced and not read to help also. They keep repeating same things

  • befitat50
    Befitat50 (@befitat50) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia Still bad this morning and seems as if no one from your side @virginmedia cares about it at all.. What should I do? Leave you guys..

  • gorgeousuk
    anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia My husband has called because he is the account holder and has a Virgin phone. Virgin apparently will call tonight/tomorrow morning. However, my feeling now is that your service will work for a time and then will go bad, there is a pattern.

  • gorgeousuk
    anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia I did and it said the service was ok. It’s now working after several times of going onto Amazon. I just don’t know why the service has become so poor recently

  • declan1968
    Declan Higgins ☘ (@declan1968) reported from Southwark, England

    @virginmedia What does an area outage mean? I pay Virgin about £150 a month for services. This is over the odds but I thought I was getting a reliable service and so went with it.

  • nicktippett
    Nick Tippett (@nicktippett) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia Pre install was yesterday with technician linking my house to virgin and ever since I've had no Internet from my current provider. spoke with pre install last night, and today, total of 4 handlers then cust. Service with no resolution and nobody wanting to deal with it now!

  • nicktippett
    Nick Tippett (@nicktippett) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia Pre install Refused to acknowledge any wrong, wouldn't get anyone to even attempt to look till 24th, cust. Service refused to engage as pre installs problem, so am left still with no Internet and no way to sort issues, plus having been spoke to rudely

  • THE_COLSON
    Shasa Colson (@THE_COLSON) reported from Merton, England

    @O2 Hi, I've been going around in circles for weeks. I'm an O2 and Virgin Media customer. I'm supposed to be in a Vilt package but mu data hasn't been doubled on the o2 end. Can this please be sorted asap

  • Phil_Swallow
    Philip 🦅 (@Phil_Swallow) reported from Croydon, England

    @redheadlass1402 @virginmedia We’ve got the business service but it’s no better. They don’t seem to have any proactive monitoring or fault prevention and pretty much don’t care. They have a 3 hour service level that passed 12 hours ago, totally useless bunch of money-grabbers

  • RanjanMallya
    Ranjan Mallya (@RanjanMallya) reported from Croydon, England

    This is what I get for being a customer for over 8 continuous years and then 5 years before that. This is awful customer service by Virgin media. #Virginmedia @virginmedia

  • AntonBrooksAMB
    🔰 Brooks 🔰 (@AntonBrooksAMB) reported from Merton, England

    @virginmedia Many complaints have been raised and we have tried to leave the contract due to the complete lack of anything beneficial to actually fix our broadband. Of course I’m not having a a go at you but your customer service team is very bad. They don’t care about actually helping 👍🏾

    @virginmedia I’ve DM 2 hours ago. Nothing. I’ve rung your number. Waited 30 minutes. And then again. Nothing. What kind of service is this? How do you speak to a human?

  • HTL832
    HTL83 (@HTL832) reported

    @virginmedia can someone for the life of me help me out with this linked Virgin & 02 apps, can’t sign into my Virgin app, as my Virgin and 02 are u der two different emails. So tried merging them 3 times now! And still no joy!! can’t log into my Virgin at all! I’m so frustrated

  • vp_matic
    V (@vp_matic) reported

    @virginmedia Broadband down since 7am this morning. With a secluded repair date of 2days from now! ‘Register of loss of service In Order to receive compensation’ impossible to locate on your app or any of your web pages? Yet a Price increase this month! Absolutely Shameful!!

  • harrewis
    Paul THORNE (@harrewis) reported

    @virginmedia brilliant…received new 360 remotes. Zero instructions in box so have to find instructions online. Cannot connect remote to tv after MANY attempts. No way of getting help! Why no clear instructions in the box on how to pair??!!

    @frecklesB13 @wullybh88y @virginmedia If you have paid for the service but not getting it's an offcom matter as they failing in their contract

  • AlloquiStrix
    Alloqui Strix (@AlloquiStrix) reported

    @virginmedia and another update just received saying it will be fixed today. Honestly, make your mind up. The BB service is excellent when it works. When it doesn't you guys seem to take a trip to the local brewery and drink lemonde!

  • Gertrudemo81
    Andrea (@Gertrudemo81) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. We are having broadband issues in our area. It says fixed date 17th April. Surely that can’t be right? A week away to fix it??

  • BurnheadMax
    GlenEagle. Better society now for disabled. (@BurnheadMax) reported

    @virginmedia The fact you've taken money when you shouldn't have and then wonder why your bill wasn't paid is called 'basic business'. If you compound your error by not allowing people to sign in, chances of resolution diminish. It's not rocket science.

  • gowlos60
    Dee Ess 🇬🇧 (@gowlos60) reported

    @JeanDifford It's made very clear that you do if you want to: 'Watch or record live TV on any pay TV service, like Sky, Virgin Media or EE TV. Watch live TV on streaming services like YouTube, Channel 4, Amazon Prime Video or any international channels'. I don't want a criminal record.

    @virginmedia If you want to know how really BAD this bunch of COWBOYS are - listen to BBC Radio Four "You & Your" Monday 13 April. Utterly inept and incompetent. STEALING a LIVING. The Senior Management should HANG THEIR INCOMPETENT HEADS IN SHAME.
