DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia 4/ I work from home so asked what can I do in the meantime? No help given. I asked to speak to a supervisor. Waited 15 mins to speak to Supervisor ( 45 mins total already spent on phone)..

David Ball (@dicksielives) reported from Romford, EnglandHi @virginmedia I ordered a new phone via my wife (who is already on Virgin mobile) last Friday. I was told to wait for a confirmation email which I still have not received. Can you help? I have the order No.
-
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.
-
MrChips (@MrChips2000) reported from Grays, England@virginmedia Hi, I would like to cancel my recent broadband order. I found a better deal.
-
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!
-
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 💔
-
Going for Gold (@Gold_Accounting) reported from South Ockendon, England@BBCNews please help. @virginmedia refusing to make an 87 year old with a heart condition who needs her telephone 24/7 for her emergency button a priority. Not sending an engineer for ANOTHER 6 DAYS.
-
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
-
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
-
Tony Patis-Stannard (@tonyps1977) reported from Romford, England@virginmedia your service is shocking and spent 40mins on the phone to be told you can’t connect my call and to try again, you have my contact details get in touch with me as I want to speak to someone about the service I’m not getting…
-
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
-
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
-
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?
-
Jay Bourley (@drummerJ83) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia Hi. Have no wifi (green light) and despite rebooting several times have a had no luck. This has happened after following your instruction to reboot for ‘faster speed’. Please advise asap - no issues in the area according to your website.

DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia 11/ I've never been 6 days without internet and help was much more available in the past with virgin. Now, customers are being left high and dry.
-
DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia 1/ I've been without internet access since last night. I called this morning at 830 and did reset as told, didn't work so was told it'd be passed on to network engineers and they'd get back to me if it didn't come back on within the hour.
-

Hyperlink sent by text doesn’t work! Call centre (working from home in India?) worse than useless! Ever heard of Customer Centric design? #Useless

Si (@Si_67) reported@virginmedia Whenever I use your service checker, I get the message: "Intermittent signal in your area..." etc I go through the charade of checking the equipment (knowing it's not that) to get the stock message: "Don’t worry, we’re looking into this issue..."etc. This is all the time now.
-
andrea hayes (@andreahayes121) reported@virginmedia @aquarius16th Hate the new interface and how it all works even to get to my recordings. Can I change back it’s awful.
-
Ryan (@SarkySodRyan) reported@Simon_Whale @virginmedia You had issues too? I've been sent a new set top box and it doesn't work at all. I need to get back to them next week before they start chucking charges on my account though....
-
Nathan Bhangoo (@NathanBhangoo) reported@virginmedia I've been waiting for my broadband in the post for 3 weeks now, I'm living in an apartment that literally has no broadband so I can't do any work at home This is getting ridiculous now as they say that it's coming the next day and it never does.
-
Emily Atkins (@bahallathegreat) reported@mariah56_c @virginmedia Mines just gone down so not happy
-
jamiediscos (@jamiediscos) reported@virginmedia 12 hrs so far with no WiFi, no tv service and more importantly, no phone! Why am I paying you an extortionate amount of money each month?
-
Top Cat (@SpinCat1) reported@virginmedia I have heard from a distressed customer who’s having their correspondence CONTINUALLY ignored by your CEO’s office AND your “resolutions” office. You have also decided to substantially increase their monthly payments before their contract has ended. UNACCEPTABLE!!
-
Iris sykes🌸 #MMJC.🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 (@Irissykes14) reported@Simon_Whale @virginmedia I’d never consider virgin too expensive, and can never get in touch with them.
-
Mike Bergquist (@mikebergquist) reported@virginmedia Two days running during World Cup semi finals I have lost my tv service! What is going on? I just missed the last 30 mins of the England game😡 I am sure you will make sure you pay no compensation either. This is the last straw, I am seriously looking at moving !
-
Elaine Walsh (@mabaker_moz) reported@virginmedia this is the third time this has happened in the last couple of weeks. And 2 days in a row. When is estimated restoration time ? When you check service checker in line it says no issues but I called and it was confirmed
