    . @virginmedia down yet again? Not able to watch On Demand and error messages. Plus their website is down. 🙄

    @Shayan86 @virginmedia It’s a disgrace - my husband works in tv too. You 100% cannot rely on VM. I am definitely changing. My bill started off at £35 and is now £45 as we had to buy boosters. Worst service ever. Skybroadband non-fibre was better than this.

    @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!!

    Virgin Media broadband down AGAIN. Service Status website & app don’t work as no internet connection 🤨 @virginmedia

  • GoonerGrizzly
    grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported from Thundersley, England

    @virginmedia I have spoken to your CS team about raising a complaint and have been told that the complaints procedure is for existing customers. As I am yet to go live, I am not considered a customer and therefore have no where to go.

    Liam Stanley💙 (@SeasideAPNP) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @AnnG50707311 @virginmedia I always haggled with them and got them to come in at new customer prices. Surprising what they will give you when you let them think you are leaving. Also let them know what other companies will offer you to become a customer as they may match the offer

  • VenusEnvi
    VenusEnvi (@VenusEnvi) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia what’s the point of asking me to text when I’m ready to set up the new hub if your going to deactivate the old one before I’m ready!! Good job I have unlimited data on my mobile network!!

  • macon1375
    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

    Currently receiving terrible customer service from @virginmedia. Strongly considering ending my contact with them and going elsewhere!!

  • feyipuk
    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?

  • mizznansea
    Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported from Aveley, England

    @virginmedia I've been having problems with my phoneline and it is currently dead, can't make or receive calls. An engineer came on Friday but its still not working. Charges have been appearing on my phone bill for calls I have not made. This has happened twice since November.

    @O2 There’s really no point as nothing ever changes! And when Virgin Media goes down (which happens far too often) I have zero means of communication. The price hike was the last straw really - time to move to another provider.

    Nick Poole (@nrpoole) reported

    @virginmedia I can't log into my a/c. I know my email address but, when entered, I reach a page saying that there has been a 'quick pause to keep my account safe' followed by some unhelpful suggestions and a reference: IDF-12B. The help & bot are useless. Can you help, please?

  • lizziecom

    @virginmedia Awful company. I'm leaving as soon as my contract is up.

    Jonathan Black (@jonblackbsb) reported

    I love on a street where it seems over 50% of households use @VMO2Life @virginmedia . That’s quite a lot of £££ per month paid out . But for the best part of a year everyone’s work has been disrupted by poor or no service . Apparently it’s noise emanating from a house 🏠 🤷1/2
