• 
  Phil (@feyipuk) reported 3 minutes ago 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.

  Listening to the broadband presentation on @itvMLshow with some irony. I pay @virginmedia £79/month for broadband/phone & TV. BB/TV failed in November, after many calls they say it will be fixed in March 2023 😬 Compensation is only calculated when service is restored 😪 Fair?

  @virginmedia It just says, it looks like you are having trouble connecting

  @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.

  On phone to @virginmedia for 55 mins to cancel, speak to 4 different people about a mis-sold service and then when I ask them to produce my contract they hang up. Not happy.

  @virginmedia I had already look at this page previously. And when we have issues there is no indication on what it could be, I. E the *********** light is in as if its connected

  @virginmedia I performed the reset, it still does not recognise the code. Very disappointed. On Wednesday I wasted 3 hours on the phone talking to 13 of your people one of whom brazenly told me to fix all issues I must buy an upgrade. I am sorry to say the whole experience is abysmal 💔

  @virginmedia I contacted customer services for an update on my iPhone 14 Pro Max. I was informed by your Twitter account I wouldn’t need to send my current phone back until I receive my new one. I was then informed by the gentleman on the phone my new phone won’t be sent until I send this

  @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?

  @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.

  ✖️𝔻𝕖𝕒𝕟 𝕄𝕔𝔽𝕒𝕣𝕝𝕒𝕟𝕖✖️ (@NoddyMaccy) reported 36 minutes ago 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…

  grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported 37 minutes ago from Thundersley, England

  @virginmedia A number of times. But let’s be honest, they’re nothing but messengers. There is no escalation, and they can’t even call the construction company to escalate issues. As someone who has worked within many projects teams, and mapped business processes, yours is simply shocking

  @ThatNickElse @virginmedia Did you get through in the end Nick...I'm having similar problems to you.

  @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!

  @virginmedia been struggling for days with home WiFi. Tried to contact you guys but cant find a number Please help

  @virginmedia Though I am dyslexic I have painstakingly done this on multiple devices and have photos to show It - not posting them publicly but it does not recognise that password 😢 A search on line suggests the problem is not unique. I have one hour to call the manufacturer if you advice.

  Paul Wingfield BSc CEng MIET (@pwingers) reported 52 minutes ago 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.

  Virgin media Im going into my 5 week of no service with virgin media all they do is say we will investigate and nothing really poor service

• 
  Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 56 minutes ago 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?

  Richard Noble (@Richard09499442) reported 58 minutes ago 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!

  Why is the tv channel 5 so quiet ? @channel5_tv I’m watching through virgin media tv box. Same as Netflix that really quiet too compared to all other channels/apps ? Is it a @virginmedia broadcasting issue ?

  Here Comes ⓣhe Boom (@BoshBoom) reported 4 minutes ago

  @Simon_Whale @virginmedia Virgin are truly awful. I never sent my kit back. They did bugger all about it

• 
  chris speller (@chris_speller) reported 5 minutes ago

  @Simon_Whale @virginmedia @richardbranson Never had a problem with them, they sent me the packaging when I left to send it back and it was free postage so hardly difficult , terms and conditions does state to send it back so if you choose not to then that’s your lookout ..

• 
  Ewan McLachlan (@original1hanwoo) reported 6 minutes ago

  @Simon_Whale @virginmedia Ive been charged by @virginmedia for using a service after I left the property and cancelled everything. Their customer service are so inept that after multiple phone calls etc they still dont understand the situation and have passed the £500 pound charge onto debt collectors.

• 
  🌸🌻Owen🌻🌸 (@SmoothBrainOwen) reported 7 minutes ago

  @Simon_Whale @virginmedia Virgin media were diabolical when I was with them for telly and Internet. Charged an arm and a leg, nothing ever worked. They tried the same **** with kit plus early exit fees - even though I left at the end of the contract.

• 
  James (@Jenno16) reported 9 minutes ago

  So @virginmedia customer service is appalling! Was told I had a default, which they had never made any attempt to contact me about. Called and was told I was up to date and to email to get it removed. They replied to email to say that I had to pay despite being told on the 1/2

  Internet down since last night...any updates? @virginmedia

  R.L. MacMurray 🇬🇧 (@DeviateDefiant) reported 13 minutes ago

  @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt I've switched, I'm getting an Openreach FTTP line installed in a couple of weeks 👍 I've gone through BT, not sure if I'll stick with them, or just cancel within the 14 days - but that line gives me access to tons more ISPs. Latency will be way better than old Virgin coax too.

  @Simon_Whale @virginmedia Virgin was fine for me for the first few years then last 6 months of contract was nothing but issues ,was glad to be rid of them

  @Simon_Whale @virginmedia We and my Mum both had exactly the same issue with EE snd I’ve heard others with same from Skye. They say they’ve sent the packaging but don’t until you phone to complain.
