    BuG$y (@browngaybitch) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    Absolutely rubbish customer service from @virginmedia @VirginMedia_TV @VirginMediaCorp waiting for over 2 hours, first call the advisor hung up after I asked to speak to his manager and the second advisor CANNOT give me a reference to the call or let me speak to a manager

    @virginmedia Do you, or could you make a TV box remote for the elderly? Tiny buttons with tinier symbols instead of words, black buttons on black body.... Almost impossible for some older people to use. An OAP version with larger coloured buttons would be such a help!

  • silvergoatish
    The waving mechanical roadgoat™ (@silvergoatish) reported from Enfield, England

    @virginmedia why can I not get through to speak with your customer services? The 1st time, the call centre cut me off. 2nd time the phone options didn't work. Your online Quick Pay is not working. I just want to pay my broadband bill 🤷🤷🤷

  • JacobWSmith10
    Jacob Smith (@JacobWSmith10) reported from Camden, England

    @virginmedia @skytv can you please sort out the sky sports app. I cannot login in using my virgin media account. It will not load the password page. I don’t really see why it logs me out periodically in the first place.

  • paulstevenlewis
    Paul Lewis (@paulstevenlewis) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia how do I connect to London Underground WiFi now you have turned off your own hotspots? Hopefully you are not just depriving all Virgin Media customers of the service! Especially as you are putting all your prices up!

  • ZJM_331
    CJ (@ZJM_331) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia your service checker isn’t working. Can you please advise of service issues in the N1 area as the broadband has gone down again? Thank you.

  • spandya1
    Sandeep Pandya (@spandya1) reported from Watford, England

    @virginmedia …and now download speed is 50-70 mbps as opposed to 500 mbps + before the incident (hard wired to router not over Wi-Fi). Please can you look into this?

  • DEDNaive
    Debbs Durston (@DEDNaive) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    @virginmedia Look just leave it tonight. If it’s the same in the morning I’ll contact customer service to see how long it will take to close my account. Cheers for trying to help.

  • mistervickster
    Vignesh (@mistervickster) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia how do you have the worst customer service ? Will just have to book a technician to sort out issues with account login.

  • StrummerJonny
    Jonny Paul (@StrummerJonny) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia is there any point, why not just give up? #virginbroadband down again, x4/2 days and at least once a month you are guaranteed #broadband #outage

  • paulusthegrey
    Paul Simmonds (@paulusthegrey) reported from Borehamwood, England

    @virginmedia I think I may have an idea what’s happened to your service in #borehamwood It looks like a kerbside box has been totalled by a drunk driver.

  • PatricioSimone2
    Patricio Simonetto (@PatricioSimone2) reported from Tottenham, England

    @virginmedia wifi doesn’t work. It’s impossible to get in touch with them in the phone. The worst internet service I have had…

  • sam_batty
    Sam Batty (@sam_batty) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia We’ve been disconnected early. Been trying for nearly an hour on your live chat but no help provided at all. Still waiting.

  • Mrspdyer
    Peggy Dyer (@Mrspdyer) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia No, I’m trying to find out the status of my complaint received by Virgin on 30 September. I’ve had zero communication or acknowledgment of it.

  • spandya1
    Sandeep Pandya (@spandya1) reported from Watford District, England

    Called @virginmedia , now a technician booked. Outages are now common, there’s little communication from @virginmedia on actual status, even the service status page is usually out of date and the call centre staff admitted to me they don’t know what’s going on.

  • JammieBun
    James Brown (@JammieBun) reported from Enfield, England

    @virginmedia Morning! All service seems to be down in N14 - can’t even access your service page to check what’s happening. Can you help?

  • dionnepat2000
    Dionne (@dionnepat2000) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @virginmedia please fix this issue. Recently not loading some emails over wifi saying it’s to do with network settings. Ok if I turn wifi off. Reading lots of people having the same problem with you on iPhone.

    @virginmedia @NatGeoUK "We hope to fix this by 25 January at 16:00" But what's this? Do you really imagine a world where people don't have to work and can stand all your frequent service disruption? #daylight_robbery

    @virginmedia There are always issues in this area. I would suggest that most the equipment needs replacing. But I won hold my breath

    @virginmedia please, for the love of god, give me a number here I can speak to a person.. I don’t have my 9 digit account number with me I need tech support, my landline is knackered. Your VA sucks It’s 2026 fgs, getting help should be easier than ever

    How do I make a complaint about your doorstep cold callers @virginmedia

  • RJAldous1
    Richard Aldous 🍊 (@RJAldous1) reported

    Hey @virginmedia how long does it take to sort out a connection issue as my broadband and tv went down about 14:00 and still just getting a flashing red light on my router (yes I reported it) these days it’s hard to do anything without internet access! 😡

  • ian_perry
    Ian Perry (@ian_perry) reported

    @virginmedia - so, you apply an update to fix Sky Sports but trying to watch any box recordings now leads to stuttering and freezing. Look up comedian Norman Collier. It's like that! What on earth do we pay our bills for? Well, it isn't customer services is it?

  • tartanjammies

    @virginmedia @alexand979677 If I wanted to watch it on my phone / laptop / pc etc I would use an Internet based hooky site not something I pay 100 quid a month for. Get it fixed and issue rebates.

  • Dianaaaa_91
    Dianaaaa (@Dianaaaa_91) reported

    Internet went down at 9pm last night. @virginmedia you’re estimating to be back up at 5:08pm today…. My partner wfh how is he supposed to do his job? No information on the app just “an issue in the area” can someone check on this please? It’s only been a week since it fixed.

    @virginmedia What’s the point? Everyone is suffering the same problem. I’m sure if you check on social media you see people do not like this function

  • APTSArchive
    APTS Archive (@APTSArchive) reported

    Quick update following my post - I did have a DM discussion with VirginMedia. Apparently all refunds are process via cheque payments and posted to you - and I’ve got to wait up to 45 days - yes 45 days for the cheque. If I’ve not received it by then I’ve got to contact them again and they will investigate why - probably waiting another 45 days. This is disgusting behaviour @virginmedia, despite it being so called company policy. You took £1,070 from our account despite assurance the equipment return date had been extended, causing us to be overdrawn, yet you now hang on to our money for up to 45 days! It doesn’t take 45 days for a computer to print a cheque!
