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 💔

-
Robert Smith (@RobertSSmith66) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia any chance you can get your website to work? Change Package Chat does nothing! Links sent via mail do not work! Hyperlink sent by text doesn’t work! Call centre (working from home in India?) worse than useless! Ever heard of Customer Centric design? #Useless
-
Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported from Aveley, England@virginmedia I've been having problems with my phoneline and it is currently dead. An engineer came on Friday but its still not working. Charges have also been appearing on my phone bill for calls I have not made. This has happened twice since November.
-

DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia I've got no internet and calling 150... Says offices are closed?! Can't access live chat! Won't let me log in! What awful customer service is this?! How do I get through to someone??
-
Helen Dickens (pinknblue):) (@pinknblue) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia hello Merry Christmas. If any one is there today so you know 8f the e mails are down as from early this morning it keeps asking me to put in mu password and then not recognising it but won't let me re set either and I can't send or receive any e mails :(
-
grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported 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

✖️𝔻𝕖𝕒𝕟 𝕄𝕔𝔽𝕒𝕣𝕝𝕒𝕟𝕖✖️ (@NoddyMaccy) reported from Romford, England@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
-
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
-

-
Phil (@feyipuk) reported from Crayford, England@virginmedia I'm sorry for the two poor support staff who are trying to sell us new remote controls, routers and O2 sims - for more money - till we hit the nuclear option and say we're leaving to get what we're asking? We're loyal customers; why does it need to get to that?
-
Sharon Hills 💗 (@Gertie58) reported from Dartford, England@virginmedia All of our WiFi appliances stopped working at the exact same time. The WiFi keeps trying to connect but just whirls and whirls. No issues with our appliances

Simon Norris (@sinozza) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@ThatNickElse @virginmedia Did you get through in the end Nick...I'm having similar problems to you.
-
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.
-
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!
-
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!
-
Richard Noble (@Richard09499442) reported 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!

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

-
Dean Hazell (@Deano01973) reported@EE do you offer broadband and TV similar to @virginmedia? I am looking to move away from Virgin as they have charged me a late payment fee which was down to an error they made.
-
Big Ape (@keithman45) reported@virginmedia @Oxford_Life Yep, same experience. Upgraded to 360, error messages, engineer fitted new box...different error messages. Called 150 Friday to be told it's be fixed remotely by 2nd line... still not working properly. . Looks like another call needed
-
David Richards (@DWRICHARDS) reported@virginmedia Thanks so much. Who should I ask for?! Current promise via Chat is a chq within 30 days. The problem with contacting Virgin Media by phone or online when you are a former customer chasing a refund is that it is difficult to get past your security checking if it's an old a/c.
-
Ben (@BenjaminEHowe) reported@ndabas @TLRailUK More interesting IMO – the IP address 80.0.1.0 belongs to Virgin Media (as part of 80.0.0.0/13). I wonder if the PIS uses VM, or if they're just using public IP space on a private network and hoping for the best?
-
Joel Sheppard (@joelshepp) reported@asksupportcreww @virginmedia No I'm not going to follow you or "drop a DM". I'm perfectly willing to have this conversation in the public domain to highlight how shambolic your customer service is.
-
Eldarioth (@eldarioth) reported@AncientJellyTot @virginmedia Same problem with religious callers but one replied with "Jesus would want to use to talk to you whatever your sign says". I had to stifle a giggle as I closed the door.
-
Neil G (@granth1974) reported@virginmedia hey virgin, you've downgraded my Netflix account without my permission. I'm mid contract. That's not allowed. I want it back to without ads asap or I reserve the right to cancel you without notice.
-
Andy Rossiter (@andy_rossiter76) reported@virginmedia Who's bright idea was it to switch landline phones over to digital optic ?? We have the landline in the livingroom, but the internet hub is in the bedroom. Also when the internet goes down, will this mean the phone goes down too ??
-

LouLouTwo.Oh (@20Madders) reported@virginmedia well done virgin media… you’ve been faffing about with a broadband and tv issue for the last week. Was supposed to be fixed by yesterday, now it says it’ll be the 7th. In the mean time we’ve got no broadband or tv in long intermittent blocks all day. 👎🏼
