✖️𝔻𝕖𝕒𝕟 𝕄𝕔𝔽𝕒𝕣𝕝𝕒𝕟𝕖✖️ (@NoddyMaccy) reported from Romford, England@virginmedia My phone is now over two weeks late, which isn’t an issue, I understand waiting for one to become available to send but to suggest I send this phone back and go without a phone until one eventually gets sent to me is just ridiculous. I’m not gonna pay my bills with no phone…
-
Matt Frow (@Matty411) reported from Corringham, England@virginmedia I hope you can help me. When I try to watch TV on virgin tv go,but it come up something went wrong error comes up (even if I use another account). I hope you can help me.

Nick Miller 🇺🇦 (@NickMillerUK) reported from South Ockendon, England@virginmedia somehow you have reset my Dad’s Virgin media box, LAN seems to be off and the wifi on it is back on. This is rubbish because we have network setup there with much better hardware than your box. Now none of it works and I am hundreds of miles from his house. Why?
-
Mark Connolly (@macon1375) reported from Crayford, England@virginmedia @virginmedia can have no rival to the worst customer service out there! Said resolved an issue after held for over an hour only to find it’s not and I now can’t get back in touch. 2nd day work ruined
-
Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴 (@Andrew007Uk) reported from Sutton at Hone, EnglandAfter a mammoth session on the phone to 6 of your departments to arrange interim broadband given your service failed in Nov. & won't be fixed to March I spoke to a helpful chap called David in the Customer Care Dept before I was cut off. Can you help reconnect me @virginmedia 🙏🏻
-
Ben Rogers (@eviemae239) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia wi-fi down yet again for about the 5th time this week. Constantly going down over last few weeks as well, absolute shambles.
-
Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴 (@Andrew007Uk) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia John - lights are on but the external fault has already been established. It is a contractor that has to deal with the issue - one claimed to have done it but it failed to work - now you contractor is failing to respond to requests by your colleagues 4 updates on a new commission
-
Mark 🏴 (@WhiskyOneIce) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia Obviously i don't have proof because your site doesn't say send recorded so why would i, my number was ported in July and I wrote same time, I have no reason to not send letter and you can see from any data usage that I stopped using your service
-
✖️𝔻𝕖𝕒𝕟 𝕄𝕔𝔽𝕒𝕣𝕝𝕒𝕟𝕖✖️ (@NoddyMaccy) reported from Romford, EnglandCurrently receiving terrible customer service from @virginmedia. Strongly considering ending my contact with them and going elsewhere!!
-
Mark Connolly (@macon1375) reported from Crayford, England@virginmedia They advise they would send a signal to router, I then turn off after 5 mins, for 10 mins and when back on all will be working! Well it didn’t make a difference and my speed test shows my downloads dropped from 236mbs to 36. The issue is uploads tho at 0.5mbps. On hold again!
-
Mark 🏴 (@WhiskyOneIce) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia Yes I have chased and chased and spent 4 hours today on WhatsApp, no advise just can't help because I have outstanding bill....no the line isn't active because it was ported over to Community Fibre on 8th July
-
Nick Miller 🇺🇦 (@NickMillerUK) reported from South Ockendon, England@virginmedia It’s everything downstream of the LAN ports, so wifi on the box is on and working but all his wired network is offline. I have asked him to check all the cabling to make sure it’s all connected.
-
Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴 (@Andrew007Uk) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@PaulWelsh_UK @virginmedia There is no service. 26 November reported - 6th March earliest date for works. I was past to no less than 6 different teams before finally getting somewhere and then being cut off. Anyway welcome home my friend - hope you have more luck than me!
-
Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@MartinSLewis Virgin Media wifi been unstable since June 2020. Virgin Media never resolved the problem caused me to lose hundreds of £'s. Made me lose my PIP. Virgin made me pay double because they kept charging me twice most months. They've made me lose half my PC Guarantee

✖️𝔻𝕖𝕒𝕟 𝕄𝕔𝔽𝕒𝕣𝕝𝕒𝕟𝕖✖️ (@NoddyMaccy) reported from Romford, EnglandI’ve had 3 hours sleep, I’m trying to catch up and within 10 mins I’ve had four calls from **** bags pretending to be from Virgin Media. The next **** to do this, I’ll be tracking your location and paying you a ******* visit! 😡
-
✖️𝔻𝕖𝕒𝕟 𝕄𝕔𝔽𝕒𝕣𝕝𝕒𝕟𝕖✖️ (@NoddyMaccy) reported from Romford, England@virginmedia The issue has now been resolved just after my tweet, I was just very angry at the time. Thank you though for responding.
-
✖️𝔻𝕖𝕒𝕟 𝕄𝕔𝔽𝕒𝕣𝕝𝕒𝕟𝕖✖️ (@NoddyMaccy) reported from Romford, England@virginmedia I contacted customer services for an update on my iPhone 14 Pro Max. I was informed by your Twitter account I wouldn’t need to send my current phone back until I receive my new one. I was then informed by the gentleman on the phone my new phone won’t be sent until I send this
-
Mark 🏴 (@WhiskyOneIce) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia It's okay I've taken it up with CEDR now and let them resolve it, I'm just highlighting to people how difficult it is to cancel contracts and the fact that VM consistently "loose" letters
-
Mark Connolly (@macon1375) reported from Crayford, England@virginmedia Of course. I’ve done everything required of me: I was told it’s caused by my home move and the disconnection due on 12th. Things seem to have been prematurely actioned affecting my signal
-
Mark Connolly (@macon1375) reported from Crayford, England@virginmedia Hah really @virginmedia been trying live chat since 8am and now call but on hold for ages!! Is not on. Causing issues with my work!! #worstbroadband

-
Jason Robbins (@Jase_Robbins) reported@vmbusiness What's the estimated fix time for your Travelodge WiFi? Tried calling your help desk and you get "We have an issue, we're working on it" and then it hangs up. Very poor service (not just the customer service)
-
Lloyd Child (@islingtonlloyd) reported from Islington, EnglandNope, not just me. Hurry up & fix it @virginmedia , I want to watch the game in UHD
-
Ian Mills (@IanPRSNorthwest) reported@virginmedia If this can't be accommodated please accept this as written notice of my intention to terminate my contract.
-
Joshua (@Joshua50227705) reported@virginmedia @TheLeeRamsay is there an email address for your CEO? If not what is the highest in command I can receive an email for? Your customer service is disgraceful.
-
FionaC (@CreswickFiona) reported@virginmedia The only deal I have been offered for my current package is £59 per month but if I was a new customer it would be half that for 18 months which means as a loyal customer I am paying over £500 more - what are you doing to keep your customers?
-
Sorcha Potts (@spotts70) reported@virginmedia there appears to be issues with your service in D7 area the last two days , have an elderly mam living on her own and can't watch TV reception is crap. Wanted to watch world cup tonight . Can you sort this out clearly an issue.
-
Becci Wells (@beccieee77) reported@virginmedia Nothing as they did not listen to my complaint and NO managers work there Paul would not give surname ... previous issues with No signal someone from UK called me and got resolved . Paul and his colleagues don't have answers on their script and so no better off than this morning.
-
Kevin Nash (@KevinDNash) reported@virginmedia Yes AC, Ofcom state after eight weeks another Virgin Media complaint can be handed to CISAS, generally expected it won't go that far. The fact VM refuse to do anything to help - other than phone India isn't looking hopeful.
-
Slipperami (@Slipperami) reported@virginmedia What a shame you don't appear to have the ability (or desire?) to update your service status pages quickly. When I can't make calls from my mobile and I check your service status page it shouldn't be saying "no problems here" hours after you knew about it. Be ashamed.
-
jiten mehta (@jitenm54) reported@virginmedia Have to say the worst customer service ever. After being mis sold I have spent 6 hours on the phone and put in 3 complaint and still they are not willing to help. Is anyone please able to help me resolve this?
