Pippa Crowther (@getpipfit) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia we have had no Internet or TV since yesterday afternoon/evening. Service checker seems down and unable to log into my virgin media as just spins or says unavailable SM1 1RB please advise.
-
Phil (@feyipuk) reported from Crayford, England@virginmedia Phoned, and as expected; they can't just "put this right". The equipment and service are working fine. That the dish is broken and there is little slack to enable me to bury the cable deeper is due to local engineers. Will just have to dig trench, break cable and wait again!
-
Phil (@feyipuk) reported from Crayford, England@virginmedia Think it's more to do with the upgrade work then; when I select Help from the Help & Settings menu, the screen goes blank. I'm thinking it needs a network connection to work. Any plans for a Hub with built in 02 sim to increase connectivity? Currently hot spotting my phone.

jordan lockey (@LockeyJordan) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia I am not paying the bill until you fix your ****** internet plus your trying to scam us by raising our bill to £225 even though it's supposed to be £130 and we have never missed a payment
-
Carol Dover (@CarolB29041964) reported from Stifford, EnglandJust how **** are Virgin Media...my email was down for two evenings and probably the days as well earlier in the week, and now it's down again. Virgin Media i need to access my emails....this level of service is unacceptable. I'm paying for this crap service! @virginmedia
-
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!
-
jordan lockey (@LockeyJordan) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia Your customer service is the worst I have seen
-
Katie Williams (@katie_2521) reported from Wickford, England@virginmedia I had already look at this page previously. And when we have issues there is no indication on what it could be, I. E the *********** light is in as if its connected
-
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.
-
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

Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia I raised the complaint on 14/7 and I’ve heard nothing
-
Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia Actually that’s wrong, I received an email to advise that the complaint had been resolved and had to respond saying it hasn’t. What hope is there when you can’t even get a complaint right?
-
Andee Byford (@BobCratchitt) reported from Romford, England@virginmedia Yes I have checked the service status, it is the first thing I do & all was fine. The issues is with the cable Ethernet & the phone connection in the Hub 4. I don’t use your WiFi setup as my house is fully cabled for networking. I am a Network Architect, so have done basic tests
-
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…
-
Rachel Romain (@RERomain) reported from Chelmsford, England@virginmedia It has been almost 30 years since he was a new customer... 🙃
-
Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia You’ve now sent me the same unhelpful link about compensation 3 times. This will only compensate me if I have no service, and as I have a service (albeit 3mbps) this, as I’ve repeated several times, doesn’t help me. Another example of poor customer service
-
Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported from Aveley, England@virginmedia Yes he left a name & phone number, said I should I let him know if I still have issues. I've contacted him 3 times including this morning since his visit last Friday.

Shardon (@shardon1980) reported@virginmedia I can’t send DMs but update. Issue won’t be fixed until 14th August . Absolutely unacceptable. No notice or comms I had to check myself. I pay you a lot of money. To be over 2 weeks with no WiFi is unacceptable. No details either and your hotline has a wait time of over 45 mins.
-

Rationalist44 (@rationalist44) reported@andyburnham You might like to add VIRGINMEDIA to your list of organisations that do everything they can to prevent customers ending contracts. They are THE WORST.
-
VB (@Vincent2455) reportedReceived a text from @virginmedia asking me to return an unused device or they will charge me for something I did not request. Made the mistake of calling for address stickers for the return item. Big mistake!! No support! No idea. No stickers. How will this play out in court!!
-
Scotty B. 🏳️🌈🇬🇧 (@Scottbraduk) reported@virginmedia It’s a disgrace I have been trying to get a refund from my account for near 2 months now and it still has not been sent. 9 phone calls an email from a manager to guarantee it would be sent back and 7 chats all recorded. Think is a complaint to ofcom now !!
