-
Dr Stower and the Stock Market of Madness 🦍 (@1CreativeRay) reported from Wainscott, England@virginmedia Terrible service from you these last two weeks! I have spent more than 4hrs on the phone to Asian based O2, and Virgin call centres who never help or process things. Also Capita in South Africa… Why do you use foreign call centres if they cannot do the job!!

DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@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.

Dr Stower and the Stock Market of Madness 🦍 (@1CreativeRay) reported from Wainscott, England@virginmedia Hi VM, I ordered a replacement remote control for my TIVO box. Just realised that was a couple of months ago but it never came. When trying online again it says as I’ve had one within six months I can’t order another. Please check that the first was ever sent, thanks

rachel Wheelhouse 🇺🇦 (@RWheelhouse1) reported from Chelmsford, England@virginmedia 6 days since moving to Virgin, we are having issues, the WiFi won't reach our outside cameras. After completing the troubleshooting guides + waiting for over an hour for a chat agent + 30 mins on the phone, we still haven't spoken to a human....not impressed
-
Phil (@feyipuk) reported from Crayford, England@virginmedia That's my issue; in terms of service, it is resolved. Thr cable was previously buried (all be it not that deep), & I would have liked it to be again. My suggestion was leave slack so I could bury it. That message wasn't passed on to the 3rd party engineer. What would you advise?
-
Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia You’ve now sent me the same unhelpful link about compensation 3 times. This will only compensate me if I have no service, and as I have a service (albeit 3mbps) this, as I’ve repeated several times, doesn’t help me. Another example of poor customer service
-
Justin 🇺🇦 (@J4Y_DEE) reported from Gravesend, England@virginmedia @VMHelpDesk Broadband down in my area, this is frustrating. Reckon it’ll be fixed by 9. No tv & Broadband during the school holidays

Mr Rocking Gooner~ Terry 👨🎤 (@MrRockingGooner) reported from Romford, England@BorisJohnson @virginmedia @O2 Imagine being part of a club or a group where roaming could be free for every mobile phone network automatically across Europe We should join that club sometime.

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.
-
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
-
MrChips (@MrChips2000) reported from Grays, England@virginmedia Hi, I would like to cancel my recent broadband order. I found a better deal.
-
Simon Norris (@sinozza) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@ThatNickElse @virginmedia Did you get through in the end Nick...I'm having similar problems to you.

Dan (@DanSEFC) reported@virginmedia @darreng3007 Hi. I also have this error message. When I log on it says estimated fix time of outage as 17:05 today and it’s still not been fixed
-
Swansea Jack 🦢 🐶 (@SwanseaSnoopDog) reported@virginmedia It’s been 2 days since my mums tv has been down and no channels - she is 86 and heavily relies on it for entertainment. Any idea when it will be back please?
-
G Strachan (@Forcegayle) reported@virginmedia £10 compensation is terrible
-
Mark Burgess (@markburgess1984) reported@virginmedia are we getting compensation for it being down all day
-
Steve Justa (@SteveJusta) reported@bisho32287 @virginmedia Just seen the same. Totally unacceptable, wth kind of 'outage' could need 30hrs (at least) to repair?!
-
hellooooooooo (@debski2222) reported@BriefcaseMike @virginmedia I hope it comes back on for you ASAP. That's the trouble with these companies, you're late with a payment and they're all over you. But if they fail to provide service they shrug their shoulders.
-
Sue (@bob7bob) reported@virginmedia What has happened to the community pages on your site? Your email system has lost folders and keeps moving emails. The community pages are the only place where people actually help. Thanks.
-
Dawn Rose (@drosey) reported@virginmedia Signed up for updates on the TV outage (into 2nd day now). Absolutely ZERO emails..not even one! Hope there's plenty of compensation for loss of service
-
Rachel Rosser (@theGROWcompany) reported@virginmedia Regardless of the actual problem, it seems the company is totally inept. Why was your incoming call message not working, why was the on hold musac playing the same one track for an hour. Why did it take so many hours for any public announcement?
-
Michael Portal (@Mortalportal01) reported@MartinSLewis Hi Martin. Are you aware of the scam between Virgin Media and 02? They hound you with calls, set you up as an existing VM customer, and then unknown to you, you have an 02 threatning letter asking for £30 a month. This was not agreed to or even known...help 🙏
