-
Pippa Crowther (@getpipfit) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia Thankyou. The site still won't let me check status.. reported this.. says your site down. I've now spoken to someone as I need Internet for work. Someone coming out on Saturday!
-
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
-
Richard Noble (@Richard09499442) reported from South Ockendon, England@virginmedia im trying to sign in to my virgin account says i need to verify username in email i click verify & it says I've already verified username and so the circle of misery begins again, please help & dont say phone virgin as i cant get through or cant understand Filipino!
-
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!!
-
Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England. @virginmedia down yet again? Not able to watch On Demand and error messages. Plus their website is down. 🙄
-
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.
-
Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia I’ve already raised a complaint. I spoke to someone in the Stage 2 complaints team who told me it’s being dealt with and, as already mentioned, a manager would call me back at 4.30 which didn’t happen. Can someone please sort this out?
-
Sharon Hills 💗 (@Gertie58) reported from Dartford, England@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
-
Gerry (@guinnessaddick) reported from Dartford, England@thorogodies @Missbwattie @virginmedia We don’t have many problems with ours, surprised you do, as you’re only round the corner, must be a box problem.
-
Steve wilson (@muzzlejuice) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia I'm trying to cancel as I'm moving and asked for confirmation which was not provided , the duty manager refused to speak with me when I tried to escalate
-
Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@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
-
Sharon Hills 💗 (@Gertie58) reported from Dartford, England@virginmedia All of our WiFi appliances stopped working at the exact same time. The WiFi keeps trying to connect but just whirls and whirls. No issues with our appliances
-
Phil (@feyipuk) reported from Crayford, England@virginmedia Think it's more to do with the upgrade work then; when I select Help from the Help & Settings menu, the screen goes blank. I'm thinking it needs a network connection to work. Any plans for a Hub with built in 02 sim to increase connectivity? Currently hot spotting my phone.
-
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
-
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.
-
Paul Wingfield BSc CEng MIET (@pwingers) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia I tried again today. After faffing with phone, then faulty website, and back to phone, I eventually found a very helpful assistant who managed to convince me to stay; happily. It was close though, as much room for improvement. Please sort out your customer services & website.
-
Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia I’ve now been told that there is no complaints team, despite the fact I spoke to them earlier. How is it possible to be so poor?
-
Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia I raised the complaint on 14/7 and I’ve heard nothing
-
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
-
Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia Actually that’s wrong, I received an email to advise that the complaint had been resolved and had to respond saying it hasn’t. What hope is there when you can’t even get a complaint right?

-
Mark Hill (@Hilly3012) reported@virginmedia That was clearly over a month ago. You’re colleague, surprisingly, never replied.
-
🏴 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 Matt Griffiths (@mgphotomad) reportedThanks @virginmedia for sending me a replacement V6 remote control that's actually worse than the one I needed to replace! It's not even a new remote that you've sent me - there's dirt under the battery cover and along the sides! Some service 😡
-
Richard Randle (@RichardRandle18) reported@virginmedia Terrible service from virgin media this morning. I sorted a new contract that included an O2 sim, but set up the o2 part with the wrong name. I have been on to them and o2 to get them to resolve since 9:30 am. Still not sorted
-
Faye Davies (@itsfayedavies) reported@virginmedia Unfortunately we are unable to call through, as the landline is down and I’m currently not available to go to the property. The person at the property is disabled and uses the landline to use her AgeUK personal alarm.
-
Tamara H (@TamaraHowarth) reported@virginmedia It's not the internet/tv/phone that's the issue at the moment, it's the way when we had a problem it took over 3mth to resolve, we were lied to repeatedly and had to keep chasing. Wasted lots of time on what should've been sorted easily. Official complaint open and ombudsman
-
Paul (@_LoneWolf_) reported@virginmedia another day and yet more connection issues. That's about 9 or 10 times it's gone down for multiple hours this past week. I'd love to get some support since I can't call without a connection now. Charge nearly 17% extra annually but give even less help. Disgraceful.
-
Babyface (@matthewwestham) reported@virginmedia why are you so expensive such a bad service now.
-
Alex Evans (@Evs74Alex) reported@virginmedia Where do I make a complaint? Having been deceived into an inferior package vis your Whats App service on Friday (downgraded to Sky Sports SD from HD) I rang today well within the cooling off period of 14 days to give 30 days notice, and to reinstate the previous package 1/3
-
Milan Campion (@CampionMilan) reported@virginmedia We cannot log into SkySports using VirginMedia login, there is something wrong with your authentication

Mark Hill (@Hilly3012) reported@virginmedia Please, please update my complaint.
