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?
-
Jay Bourley (@drummerJ83) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia Hi, the VMGo app is telling me I need to upgrade to watch live tv but I’ve got the right package to have access and have until today watched live via the app. Is there an issue? Tried restarting it etc.
-
Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia I’ve spent over 2 hours on the phone and I lost count of people I’ve spoken to when I got to 12. That’s just today and this has gone on for weeks. Pretty sure you would’ve lost me as a very longstanding customer by the time 28 days is up.

charlie and Blossom (@LaurenLFlower) reported from Romford, England@virginmedia Hi I have an issue with my current plan? It says I’ve cancelled my O2 benefits but I never received the sim nor did I cancel.
-
grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported from Thundersley, England@virginmedia This seems to be the standard message coming from Virgin Media. “Computer says no”. If you can’t see the issue with this then you (Virgin Media) are the problem. I’m inclined to contact the ombudsman as you have sold me a service which you blatantly cannot provide or install.
-
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!
-
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
-
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 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

Andee Byford (@BobCratchitt) reported from Romford, England@virginmedia Yes I have checked the service status, it is the first thing I do & all was fine. The issues is with the cable Ethernet & the phone connection in the Hub 4. I don’t use your WiFi setup as my house is fully cabled for networking. I am a Network Architect, so have done basic tests

Jimmy Jones (@_James_Jones_) reported@AdamT1875 @virginmedia Correct! I managed to use Starbucks WiFi to send the message. I reckon their own staff are also suffering with poor connections due to not responding after requesting info... they are currently arguing the toss on chat saying, you sure its not in the box? GAPING HOLE SAYS NO!
-
CFC._AKHI😴 (@Yolo123Rana) reported@virginmedia my WiFi is down right nor sure why
-
Wingssherpa (@WingsSherpa) reported@MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK No surprise Virgin Media was fined by OFCOM last week for its poor customer service, Michelle.
-
Reeni 🇯🇲 (@__neerihs) reported@virginmedia I have checked. There were outages and it’s now apparently fixed. Yet I still have no service. So I can’t watch tv, can’t use my tablet, my daughter can’t use her tablet and I can’t work next week. What fabulous service!
-
Enzo Ferro (@EnzoFerro2023) reported@MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK Very sorry for your loss. I left virgin media a few years back after very poor service and I am hearing lots of examples recently of why I will never return.
-
Lacking Courage (@NeedMoreCourage) reported@MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK Agree, my poor wife trying to deal with VirginMedia who are still sending bills 2 years after his death & 3 months after his bungalow was sold!!!
-
Frisc Capital (@frisccapital) reported@Stsantek @virginmedia Tell them your moving address they will cancel it without charges

Hayley Laura (@LilHay) reported@_AnaCristina_ @virginmedia Can you use your data to go on your online account lovey? Do that and down the side it gives a WhatsApp option. They’re open 8-8 and v v good at getting back to u within 10 mins or so
-
Flossie Smith (@LostPigeonPost) reported@virginmedia @Stsantek Virgin has thus customer’s contact details, but as always expects the customer to get in touch with them - which is ALWAYS a waste of hours and hours of the customer’s time. Virgin knows that and everyone else knows that.
-
AstralPunk (@astral_punk) reported@MichelleBeckett As a long standing @virginmedia customer, I can confirm that they are number 1 for utterly abysmal customer service in every regard.
