Lewis Allen ⚒ (@_Lewis_A) reported from Romford, EnglandOn 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.

Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴 (@Andrew007Uk) reported from Sutton at Hone, EnglandListening 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?

-
Mark Connolly (@macon1375) reported from Crayford, England@virginmedia Of course. I’ve done everything required of me: I was told it’s caused by my home move and the disconnection due on 12th. Things seem to have been prematurely actioned affecting my signal

Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴 (@Andrew007Uk) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@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 💔
-
Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴 (@Andrew007Uk) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@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.
-
Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴 (@Andrew007Uk) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia John - lights are on but the external fault has already been established. It is a contractor that has to deal with the issue - one claimed to have done it but it failed to work - now you contractor is failing to respond to requests by your colleagues 4 updates on a new commission
-
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.
-
Robert Smith (@RobertSSmith66) reported from Sutton at Hone, EnglandQ. What kind of moronic company thinks it enhances customer service by only allowing communication via WhatsApp on a phone? A. @virginmedia! @SkyUK here I come !
-
Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia I’ve spent over 2 hours on the phone and I lost count of people I’ve spoken to when I got to 12. That’s just today and this has gone on for weeks. Pretty sure you would’ve lost me as a very longstanding customer by the time 28 days is up.

-
Chris Fox (@chriscfox) reportedHey @virginmedia given that your website is full of broken and circular links making it impossible to do anything, and your chat service just fails, how do I actually talk to someone?
-
Back the BBC 📺📻📡📱🔴 (@back_the_BBC) reported@stephenm68 @virginmedia The only solution with Virgin media is to get rid of it
-
Pekalton (@Pekalton) reported@ConorPDunne I agree Connor. It’s time for a complete change of direction for RTÉ. I’ve lost interest in the LLS and RoT. I get RoT brings tourism to Kerry but it’s time for a change. RTÉ is still living in the times gone past. What exactly are we paying TV licence for? Virgin Media is as bad
-
Krystle (@vdaybabygirl85) reported@virginmedia - I had serious connection issues. Complaints team got in touch and thought it was resolved. But it's not. The issues are STILL ongoing and as for the last 8 weeks or so I'm struggling with intermittent service. I want the fixed. I'm sick and tired of it now
-
KopiteinPoland (@KopiteinPoland) reportedI never had issue with @o2 until they merged with virgin media. Now I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone. You try and use the website, pages don’t load. Information isn’t available. How do you keep on top of your account. #awfulservice #neveragain

Seph (@sephiroth17181) reported@wrighty1707 @virginmedia the company is a complete joke, i was paying £56 a month for 1gig and the last 2 months were atrocious for connection the best they could do was send patronising emails saying it was my issue, so i switched to EE 1.6gig for £35 a month with unlimited mobile data to boot
-
Expanse Consulting Ltd (@ExpanseCon) reported@ulickdcox @VodafoneIreland Not a vodafone issue. Looks like a core switch failure, optical cross-connect fault or other fault inside one of the central carrier-neutral hubs. It has dropped interconnection across multiple fixed ISPs (Virgin Media, Eir, Siro, NBI) simultaneously.
