✖️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…
-
Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@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. I’m lost for words
-
DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia 8/ have to pay if it came down to a third party router intimating that the fault was mine. No appointment till Thursday! I tried to explain that I care for an elderly lady and he wouldn't let me speak and kept interrupting me which was incredibly rude. I advised him to let me

Nigel Rumsey (@nigelrumsey) reported from Gravesend, England@virginmedia Your link says it can’t find any issues, there are issues. Can you advise if it’s being investigated? What’s the eta? Thanks.

Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported from Aveley, England@virginmedia I've been having problems with my phoneline and it is currently dead, can't make or receive calls. An engineer came on Friday but its still not working. Charges have been appearing on my phone bill for calls I have not made. This has happened twice since November.
-
Lisa Philpott (@Lisa2672) reported from Rayleigh, England@Shayan86 @virginmedia It’s a disgrace - my husband works in tv too. You 100% cannot rely on VM. I am definitely changing. My bill started off at £35 and is now £45 as we had to buy boosters. Worst service ever. Skybroadband non-fibre was better than this.

Lisa Philpott (@Lisa2672) reported from Rayleigh, England@virginmedia Sort it out Virgin IT’S NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!!!! Can’t even log on to get service updates 😡😡😡
-
Robert Smith (@RobertSSmith66) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia any chance you can get your website to work? Change Package Chat does nothing! Links sent via mail do not work! Hyperlink sent by text doesn’t work! Call centre (working from home in India?) worse than useless! Ever heard of Customer Centric design? #Useless

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!
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia I've got no internet and calling 150... Says offices are closed?! Can't access live chat! Won't let me log in! What awful customer service is this?! How do I get through to someone??
-
jordan lockey (@LockeyJordan) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia Your customer service is the worst I have seen
-
Liam Stanley💙 (@SeasideAPNP) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@AnnG50707311 @virginmedia I always haggled with them and got them to come in at new customer prices. Surprising what they will give you when you let them think you are leaving. Also let them know what other companies will offer you to become a customer as they may match the offer
-
Richard Noble (@Richard09499442) reported from South Ockendon, England@virginmedia I have never been able to access the app. Its says i will receive an email to verify it but never arrives. Ive contacted virgin a few times but the issue doesn't get resolved!
-
Pippa Crowther (@getpipfit) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia we have had no Internet or TV since yesterday afternoon/evening. Service checker seems down and unable to log into my virgin media as just spins or says unavailable SM1 1RB please advise.

Cristoir Toibin (@christobinsings) reported@virginmedia absolute shambles of a service today, missed the football and now no Internet again for the last hour. Happy to send me 4 messages to say you've fixed "the issue" Time to move to another provider.
-
Jambo (@The_real_Jambo_) reported@virginmedia @officialprendie I live in this area and lost connection about 20mims ago. Router is flashing red. I work from home, how long will this take to fix?
-
Tre (@Liafreytre) reported@AndrewW12290183 @virginmedia They never send them. Still have old crap of theirs from years ago.
-
Paul🦦 (@p_e_l_4) reported@virginmedia is 5 hours waiting for your cancellation team standard procedure? Absolutely ridiculous customer service. You should be investigated and fined for this. Never going back to your services ever
-
Pete Bradbury (@PeteBradders) reported@virginmedia @CriticalRole @LessThanJake I have been a customer of yours for 25 years and upon the most recent contract renewal, you denied the package I opted for because it was for 'new customers only' and then went on to charge me with a bill for £124! A colossal 34% increase! Loyalty means nothing!
-
rachaelinnc (@rachaelinnc) reported@virginmedia I have tried every which way to contact you by live chat, community, WhatsApp and now been on hold on the phone for over an hour - can someone please help me please with an expiring contract?!!! This is ridiculous!
-
Diplo (@loldiplo) reported@virginmedia Already got one booked in. I will be complaining however as you already are charging a substantial amount for a service you’re clearly incapable of providing.
-
John M (@john1mccarthy) reported@virginmedia I'm shocked!! Someone actually called me just now. Albeit 4 days late, but I guess that's just how you guys work. No real news, I'm still not due any form of service from you until May 14th, so a bit of a waste. Amazing what a bit of negative pr on X can do
-
Iptv Smarter Pro 📺 (@Aaron1576174) reportedTired of paying for multiple subscriptions like Sky, BT Sport, Virgin Media, Now TV, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Apple TV+? I have got the solution. This IPTV offers: * 300,000+ live channels * 65,000+ VODs * PPV events

Dippy | Brig Content Creator (@Itsdippylive) reportedIn the same 28 April email, Virgin Media wrote: "a dedicated chat-based support route for customers with reasonable adjustments is needed... an area where we must improve." They wrote that 6 days ago. Today the next cycle broke.
