    What is going on with the horrific intermittent WIFI connection in SM5 for the past week. Website says there is a problem BUT have to wait til Friday for an engineer. Abysmal performance @virginmedia

    Listening to the broadband presentation on @itvMLshow with some irony. I pay @virginmedia ยฃ79/month for broadband/phone & TV. BB/TV failed in November, after many calls they say it will be fixed in March 2023 ๐Ÿ˜ฌ Compensation is only calculated when service is restored ๐Ÿ˜ช Fair?

    Iโ€™ve had 3 hours sleep, Iโ€™m trying to catch up and within 10 mins Iโ€™ve had four calls from **** bags pretending to be from Virgin Media. The next **** to do this, Iโ€™ll be tracking your location and paying you a ******* visit! ๐Ÿ˜ก

    @virginmedia so after weeks of unbelievably poor broadband and customer service there was an offer from you to resolve the situation with a web chat at 11am, with a link being provided here. No link. Iโ€™m lost for words

    @virginmedia 9/ speak but he kept interrupting me. He had no help for me for having no internet for 6 days. He kept sighing and refused to put me through to anyone who could offer anymore help.

    @virginmedia Iโ€™ve sorted the issue. But now thereโ€™s no way of cancelling the engineer! Canโ€™t get through on phone. Appointment isnโ€™t showing on their account, so canโ€™t cancel there. WhatsApp is useless - been waiting for an Agent to be available since about 1pm!

    Nick Miller ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ (@NickMillerUK) reported from South Ockendon, England

    @virginmedia Itโ€™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 itโ€™s all connected.

  • Gertie58

    @virginmedia We have broadband but no WiFi. Rang customer services on Thursday lunchtime to be told that although nothing shows up in the service checker it' known fault and should be back today, now it's almost two days without WiFi, just want update from someone who knows what's happening

  • rrrussboy
    Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia Iโ€™ve already raised a complaint. I spoke to someone in the Stage 2 complaints team who told me itโ€™s being dealt with and, as already mentioned, a manager would call me back at 4.30 which didnโ€™t happen. Can someone please sort this out?

    Be careful if you ever want to cancel a @virginmedia account, I wrote to them, twice as per their T&C because you can never get through on chat or phone, they deny receipt of letters because you cant send recorded delivery so they just keep sending bills and chasing payments

  • rrrussboy
    Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia Iโ€™ve spent over 2 hours on the phone and I lost count of people Iโ€™ve spoken to when I got to 12. Thatโ€™s just today and this has gone on for weeks. Pretty sure you wouldโ€™ve lost me as a very longstanding customer by the time 28 days is up.

    @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

  • mizznansea
    Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported from Aveley, England

    So trying to cancel @virginmedia services and the stalling tactics being used are not cool. If customers want to leave they have every right to do so. Let them go.

    @Mattallwright 2 years on since I have been having trouble with Virgin Media (fingers crossed) they may have now get an uninterrupted supply after charging me late payments more than double my Media prices whilst as a Vulnerable Person they were awful

    @virginmedia Hi I have an issue with my current plan? It says Iโ€™ve cancelled my O2 benefits but I never received the sim nor did I cancel.

    @virginmedia 1/ I've been without internet access since last night. I called this morning at 830 and did reset as told, didn't work so was told it'd be passed on to network engineers and they'd get back to me if it didn't come back on within the hour.

    @virginmedia The issue has now been resolved just after my tweet, I was just very angry at the time. Thank you though for responding.

    @virginmedia You are no longer my ISP due to your incompetence. Also there will be a lawsuit pending due to the fact I almost died from pneumonia with pulmonary oedema and sepsis later going into stage 2 respiratory failure. Your useless service is unacceptable.

    @virginmedia any updates on loss of service in my area. As im classed as vunberbul customer amd its been down sence like 3pm yesterday and im pissed off as always happens all the time with Virgin Media !!!

  • DWRICHARDS
    David Richards (@DWRICHARDS) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks so much. Who should I ask for?! Current promise via Chat is a chq within 30 days. The problem with contacting Virgin Media by phone or online when you are a former customer chasing a refund is that it is difficult to get past your security checking if it's an old a/c.

  • entrustTMF
    entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported

    @RogerGreen2009 @virginmedia I'm definitely going to be reviewing my options at the end of my current @virginmedia contract as they've been dreadful in terms of communication and help when the chips are down(day SEVEN of outage)๐Ÿ˜ข Sadly, I've only just renewed my contract... Thanks for the suggestions๐Ÿ‘

  • BryMillan
    Bryan Millan (@BryMillan) reported

    Every Wednesday without fail from about 8:30pm we have an intermittent signal issue with @virginmedia, we pay enough not to have these issues every week. Get it sorted!

  • The_Broski_Boot
    AJ (@The_Broski_Boot) reported

    @virginmedia we are now over 12 hours into this issue without any meaningful update Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, services must be provided with reasonable care and skill. A prolonged outage without resolution or communication may breach this. Can you please update

  • casilda1
    Casilda Malagon (@casilda1) reported

    @virginmedia I fear this is terrible customer service. Iโ€™m switching providers as soon as possible and will be advising by network to do the same.

  • deanspread
    Deano (@deanspread) reported

    @virginmedia Well Iโ€™m at work now but it was working then going off for a couple minutes then back on all day. Then about 9pm went off for 20 mins then back on. Went on your page to check the service and it was saying nothing was wrong.
