-
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
-
Mark 🏴 (@WhiskyOneIce) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia Yes I have chased and chased and spent 4 hours today on WhatsApp, no advise just can't help because I have outstanding bill....no the line isn't active because it was ported over to Community Fibre on 8th July
-
Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia I’ve sorted the issue. But now there’s no way of cancelling the engineer! Can’t get through on phone. Appointment isn’t showing on their account, so can’t cancel there. WhatsApp is useless - been waiting for an Agent to be available since about 1pm!
-
Joseph Sweeney (@JosephS65112253) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia I’m going into my 5 week of problems with this crap company they say they will investigate but nothing, no compensation nothing.
-
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.
-
Mark Connolly (@macon1375) reported from Crayford, England@virginmedia Hah really @virginmedia been trying live chat since 8am and now call but on hold for ages!! Is not on. Causing issues with my work!! #worstbroadband
-
Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia They haven’t got through to anyone to cancel it yet?
-
Mark Connolly (@macon1375) reported from Crayford, England@virginmedia @virginmedia can have no rival to the worst customer service out there! Said resolved an issue after held for over an hour only to find it’s not and I now can’t get back in touch. 2nd day work ruined
-
Janet E Baldwin 🌸 (@JanetEBaldwin) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@_andy_pandy_ @virginmedia Outrageous 😱 I’d cancel my subscription.
-
Mark 🏴 (@WhiskyOneIce) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia Obviously i don't have proof because your site doesn't say send recorded so why would i, my number was ported in July and I wrote same time, I have no reason to not send letter and you can see from any data usage that I stopped using your service
-
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!
-
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
-
Joseph Sweeney (@JosephS65112253) reported from Sutton at Hone, EnglandVirgin 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
-
Mark 🏴 (@WhiskyOneIce) reported from Sutton at Hone, EnglandBe careful if you ever want to cancel a @virginmedia account, I wrote to them, twice as per their T&C because you can never get through on chat or phone, they deny receipt of letters because you cant send recorded delivery so they just keep sending bills and chasing payments
-
Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia You are no longer my ISP due to your incompetence. Also there will be a lawsuit pending due to the fact I almost died from pneumonia with pulmonary oedema and sepsis later going into stage 2 respiratory failure. Your useless service is unacceptable.
-
Mark 🏴 (@WhiskyOneIce) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia It's okay I've taken it up with CEDR now and let them resolve it, I'm just highlighting to people how difficult it is to cancel contracts and the fact that VM consistently "loose" letters
-
Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, EnglandHey @virginmedia Parents new 360 box not working and engineer not available to come out til the 27th!!!! Not good enough! 😔
-
Nick Miller 🇺🇦 (@NickMillerUK) reported from South Ockendon, England@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?
-

Stuart Long Esq, (@StuartLong01) reported@missradders @virginmedia @Onestream_UK I’d done that, they came back 3 months later without contract and proceeded to deduct money from my bank for a service they did not & had not provided for over 3 months - hence its current location
-
Hannah 🙋🏻♀️ (@missradders) reported@realjohnmurphy @virginmedia I’m telling you what it said when I signed up to switch. I haven’t signed up for any changes so the email suggests someone has told them I’ve switched. The same happens presumably as when you switch energy providers. I’ve never had to cancel an existing provider myself.
-
Mike of Leeds (@PeopleofLeeds) reported@missradders @virginmedia When Branson sold Virgin Media to Libert Global it slowly has just gone downhill from my personal experience I have no idea on the business and tech side. Just purly as a customer. I ditched mine months ago they basically could never fix a fault in our street for ever
-
Ayresie (@ayresie__) reported@odellykins Yeah bro been looking around a bit, only annoying thing is that virgin media do the best speeds in my area so if I switch ISP imma be going from 400 down and 40 up to like 30 down and 7 up, and theres still the possibility it could lag ://
-
Barbara Leonard #WearAMask #FBPE 3.5% 🕷🔶 (@BILStuff2018) reported@virginmedia No web chat box poppng up. Just the basic 'sign in' stuff which is what I can't do....
-
Anita Whittaker (@summitsleap) reported from Conisbrough, England@virginmedia please please can someone help me. I left virgin in October and have had several calls to say I didn't ask to. Now they are threatening me with debt recovery. Is this correct
-
lisa hawkins (@rainbowscout250) reported@virginmedia No he cut me off after 3 and a half hours he would ask a question then take half an hour to reply to my reply. Absolutely disgusting. I definitely won't be recommending you to anyone if they are looking for good customer service
-
Hannah 🙋🏻♀️ (@missradders) reported@realjohnmurphy @virginmedia I won’t be. They have clearly been told I’ve moved to another provider hence why they’ve done some weird switch on my account. They can just cancel it when I call them tomorrow. I’ll cancel the direct debit so they can’t have any more of my money. Why would I want 2 services?
-
John Murphy (@realjohnmurphy) reported@missradders @virginmedia Or television, or any service that Virgin provide, that I can think of.
-
Louisa Legg (@LouisaLegg) reported@virginmedia A significant issue. This has been the case for two weeks! What is your recommendation to resolve this poor customer experience?
