@virginmedia No the light stays white on previous tests the operator said there is a problem and we will send an engineer but then a new hub arrived.

@virginmedia hi, the internet seems to be down in the Formby area (L37). Green flashing light on the modem and can’t get online. Any idea when it’ll be resolved. I’m working from home and need it back!

Crazy Corner (@TerryBpne) reported from Walton le Dale, England
@MintyPNE @virginmedia I ranted & got nowhere. My wife got an engineer round and job sorted (V box on 2nd room) They don't care about customer service.

Coley B (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England
@virginmedia Already tried this & the people who answer the calls aren't authorised to deal with it and so I get another promised phonecall which is never made!!! What are you going to do to rectify the problem that's been ongoing since November 2020?!?!?! @MartinSLewis #poorcustomerservice

@virginmedia As was promised (via, text, tweet and written correspondence!!) I have spent countless hours on hold to no resolve. I will await your promised call. Each day I don't receive said call/contact I will continue to demonstrate publicly how bad your customer services are..

When the world is struggling cause of the pandemic but more people have invested in tv & streaming services @virginmedia & @netflix have written to me saying they are putting their prices up. Such empathy #ReadTheRoom #pandemic #Wtf
-
Terry Gilroy (@Gilly2u2) reported from Formby, England
@virginmedia was expecting callback, once again not happened! At end of contract, might have to go elsewhere! Only want to see if you can give me a great deal or @SkyHelpTeam may be getting a new customer!
-
Coley B (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England
@virginmedia Ooo a response! Now I have a dilemma - do I have to complain about the length of time it took to even try to help me with my original complaint? I do sincerely hope I actually get somewhere this time. The time I have spent trying to resolve this is astronomical!
-
Coley B (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England
@virginmedia am I to take your complete and utter silence as the refusal to resolve the outstanding complaint?!? the utter disregard you continuously display towards your customers is disgraceful. You should be ashamed. @MartinSLewis
-
Tracy Abraham 💙💙 (@babybio18) reported from Wigan, England
@virginmedia Thank you for your help, after using the app we need a hub 3 as we have an outdated hub.

@virginmedia Broadband speed issue
-
Mark Baines (@MarkPBaines) reported from Wigan, England
@virginmedia been with you for years and your prices are going up due to your service which frankly is rubbish all goes down so you lose a days pay working from home and you still want it paid for! You’re an absolute joke! Don’t worry though you’ve lost a customer!
-
Jen (@jeniandersonw) reported from Wigan, England
Just spoke to @virginmedia attempting to rectify broadband issues - their suggestion is to “sit closer to the hub” Brilliant wish I had thought of that..!
-
Coley B (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England
@virginmedia Understood. As I said I will wait for what was promised and continue to highlight where virgin media fail to keep promises.

Ruddy (@srudd1992) reported from Leyland, England

LKB (@lkbowers1972) reported
@virginmedia They've said that for last 3mths (cable issues) and we're signed off end of January to say all work completed. Then came j on Saturday 4th March and engineer couldn't complete the installation due to another external cable fault !!
-
Not Important (@cberight) reported
@virginmedia 1.Your status checker is false, incorrect and not fit for purpose. 2.Constant drop outs and slow internet connection one third of minimum guaranteed speed for 5 years. 3.Dozen or so engineer call out 4. You charge 2.5x as much as the nearest competitor 5.Left you 2 years ago
-
Lynn Cullumbine (@LCullumbine) reported
@virginmedia your customer service is shocking!! Do you not have a bereavement department
-
Pete's Tweets (@pete_botterill) reported
@virginmedia I've used the app and followed the tips, in the speed test it fluctuates wildly, sometimes 135mbps down some times 30mbps and sometimes fails to connect
-
RK (@suryateja01) reported
@virginmedia There is no fault in my area. I have been observing last 3-4 days and speed was never more than 45 mb.
-
Leslie (@Bilkosbuddy1965) reported
@virginmedia Ok intermittent problems in area. This amazingly was the answer last time I had this issue. After a month or so of problems we have the same issues as before. The same answers or lack of them until someone is sent out.
-
Malcolm Shine (@shineyshappy) reported
@virginmedia Seems odd that the O2 website shows the service interruption but the Virgin one has been saying everything's ok for the last few hours! I thought that you're one company now!
-
☀️ (@Pamela_L142001) reported
@ZachBro17605567 @virginmedia I hear you I am having problem also
-
Antony McEvoy 🇪🇺 (@AntonyMcEvoy) reported
@virginmedia after cancelling yesterday (after attempting a 30% mid contract price hike) I've been getting calls from you, presumably to try and retain me. My number is registered with TPS and I opted out of marketing, it's not legitimate interest so please, please **** off!
-
Sanjeev Bakhshi (@sbakshi84) reported
@mrspancakes3 can I have details of the Virgin Media manager you used to resolve your issue?
