  • MrsDyer25 Laura Dyer (@MrsDyer25) reported from Great Baddow, England

    @virginmedia I have checked and there are no faults. I am still having issues over a week later and this is totally unacceptable! Two children trying to take part of zoom lessons which they keep dipping in and out of as the connection just keeps dropping! Unable to get through to you on 150

  • Paul_Wingfield Paul Wingfield (@Paul_Wingfield) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia Just rcvd text to say investigating network problem instead, so you've postponed visit. Your netwrk is great when working, but you really need to sort out Cust Srvc because it causes very damaging press on closed group social media. You need to "Think Customer's Perspective"!

  • MrGarySmith Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia Don’t another post with link as the first one was ignored by Virgin also contacted @ofcom and @ASA_UK re claims of false advertising of 1 GB service which isn’t actually available in Dartford once you do get through. Want to talk? #stillwaiting #poorservice #shouldLlleave?

  • MrsDyer25 Laura Dyer (@MrsDyer25) reported from Great Baddow, England

    @virginmedia So what can be done to improve the technical issues we are having? Could it be our equipment?

  • MrGarySmith Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia hello? Anybody home? Still waiting 4 my callback which should’ve had a week ago to tell me what you’re doing about charging me 💰💵💸 for at least 4 months for service I wasn’t getting! Tried calling can’t even get on a waiting / hold line... need to know so I can🚪

  • Flaminhaystack Antonia (@Flaminhaystack) reported from London, England

    @jenniseex @bt_uk @virginmedia Yep. I have very poor Internet in my home and pay large prices. Everytime I phone to get it rectified, I'm told there is nothing wrong with the WiFi and my house is the issue. Pathetic. I detest them

  • JimboUK71 James Aubrey (@JimboUK71) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia I’m still waiting since 15/12 for my boosters, and you’ve sent me a v6 box, for no reason. Spent another hour on hold, only to get cut off. Please arrange a callback to get these issues resolved. 07966594276 Thanks!

  • MrGarySmith Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia I’d like to #stayconnected but you have not returned calls re slow speeds I’ve been getting since summer 20 but still charging me for, think after 12yrs as a customer you’d think you might want to keep me, if I don’t get a call BEFORE Mon I’ll cancel and start a new

  • MrGarySmith Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia That’s my point I’ve been trying to sort this out but not getting the response of callback to decide what to do you guys also need to compensate for the service speed paid for not received! Back no ones calling me back...@Ofcom

  • jackarronscarth jack (@jackarronscarth) reported from Dartford, England

    Paid for #UFC257 through @virginmedia and it’s not working ?! #virginmedia

  • MrGarySmith Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia Are you reading my tweets? It’s not a fault! You’ve run a 30 day test you are running far under the service I’m paying for, I was waiting for a call to discuss what VM are proposing or if I should leave!!!! @Ofcom

  • MrsDyer25 Laura Dyer (@MrsDyer25) reported from Great Baddow, England

    @virginmedia Yes and I am doing it again now. No network issue has been found

  • Flaminhaystack Antonia (@Flaminhaystack) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I've had engineers round from Virgin media on several occasions. Once I had no Internet for weeks because the engineer wired up the connection to the wrong house outside and I didn't even get a refund for the lack of service.

  • elaine_leggatt Elaine Leggatt (@elaine_leggatt) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia Moving house. Used the chat stream give all my details then no one answers when moved on. Get on the phone to he told ring back . Ring later then get cut off twice after long wait. I hope you will not charge me more for the service I am trying to sort 😡😡

  • Paul_Wingfield Paul Wingfield (@Paul_Wingfield) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I need to leave Virgin media because my bill has gone up by over 50%. I can't do it on the phone because you're not answering and your website doesn't have an option to close my account. Your live online help isn't answering either. What should I do?

  • MrGarySmith Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia Hmmm. No the test was done on Sept I ten got a letter about 2 months later which confirmed my suspicions of a slow service after a new router and CMP plugs I’ve been trying to discuss what’s next since then. Need that callback! @Ofcom

  • Paul_Wingfield Paul Wingfield (@Paul_Wingfield) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia It came back as per Virgin's text then the Broadband fell over again Sat pm. Then became intermittent. Seems to be ok at the moment. Loads of problems since Christmas but no refunds. Its not good!

  • Charms64 Charmaine Rhule (@Charms64) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia Last 24hrs no Internet connection Carshalton Beeches/Sutton household- poor reason given why did it happier my question

  • MrGarySmith Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia Why don’t you do that as so far you’ve sent me the link to the community group Fail 1. Then the 150 no not connecting fail 2 then 0345454111 is not connecting fail 3 You really know how to test a very long standing customer don’t you!

  • Strattsy51 Steve ✊🏻 (@Strattsy51) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia why is live chat taking absolutely ages to connect me to anyone? I’d like to cancel my service, but if I was joining as a new customer I’m put through immediately. Are you making it difficult to cancel on purpose?
