-
Craig (@cra1gs) reported from Birmingham, England
@virginmedia Yes tried that and just called ur CS centre. Once again the person who took the call couldn’t care less. This is the 2nd time this month it’s gone down without any explanation or compensation
-
🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England
@virginmedia There is no weak signal. I’ve checked all around the house repeatedly. There are no faults in the area. I have checked repeatedly. Customer services have been unhelpful on multiple calls. Had to fight to get an upgraded hub!
-
🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England
@virginmedia Yes, security cameras, nest heating, hue bulbs. Less frequently. But still happens. Everything works for a while then something or several things stop. Never everything. We have entirely re-set everything once, which takes hours to sort and is not an answer.

Jane Campion Hoye (@JaneCampionHoye) reported from Birmingham, England
@virginmedia Okay. Just that Twitter asked me to sign into it and results would give you access. Thanks for clarification...just really dont understand why I have to go to a forum to get tech support for an error Virgin has made.
-
🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England
@virginmedia The link you provide is entirely not the problem. We’ve had the same issue for 2 years. It doesn’t stop being a problem. And every time we contact someone about it, we get the same advice because there’s no continuation. Please read the message chain if you’re going to reply.

Jo Darby (@JoDtw) reported from Birmingham, England
@virginmedia There isn't a fault. It's never been particularly good.
-
Jane Campion Hoye (@JaneCampionHoye) reported from Birmingham, England
@virginmedia My computer guy HAS looked at your forum. We know what the problem is but it needs technical support your end to fix it. It would take the right person 2 mins but we cant get past your incredibly poor customer service to get any kind of tech support. So stressful & frustrating.

Amrit Pahal (@AmritPahal) reported from Walsall Wood, England
@virginmedia absolutely pathetic service, trying to run a business that relies on taking cards payments,I switched to you for the secureness of the line over fibre, since I’ve switched I’ve had more down time than standard internet! Callled up told nothing can be done until 9am!!
-
🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England
@virginmedia Literally three years of the same inconsistency. And appalling customer service when you speak to anyone. There is nothing you have done or will do to improve this. As soon as I can get a decent speed from another local company I’ll be gone.
-
Lisa Wilson (@ann_wilson0121) reported from Birmingham, England
@virginmedia why sell us a package when you do not have the correct infrastructure in place! 30 minutes on hold today, I’m giving up. We didn’t have these issues with Sky.
-
Craig (@cra1gs) reported from Birmingham, England
@virginmedia Yes it does. Apparently there is a known issue in the area and it won’t be fixed until 12 tonight. This is not good enough
-
Jane Campion Hoye (@JaneCampionHoye) reported from Birmingham, England
@virginmedia I have a technician coming on Tues to replace SuperHub but need specific technical support to restore Sent box on PC. Windows say object not found error Ox8004010F. VM techs used to help in past at level 2 or 3. Now it's impossible to get past level 1 tech support.
-
Jane Campion Hoye (@JaneCampionHoye) reported from Birmingham, England
@virginmedia Hi, thanks for getting back to me. All my VM services were down in past 48 hours. Now restored. BUT you seem to have deleted my Sent Box from Virgin email Server. I had 2 sent boxes, but the one deleted is the major one synced to my Windows 10 so can't send imp work documents!!
-
Steve Goodman (@stevegoodman) reported from Nuneaton, England
@andrew_kemp Yeah, I wouldn't mind it as a permanent bridge to Azure. I'm on Virgin Media though and had problems doing that in the past, though
-
🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England
@virginmedia No. It’s usually just one of the connected devices we lose at a time. Most often speakers but sometimes security cameras, sometimes hue bulbs. Never everything at once.
-
Steve Goodman (@stevegoodman) reported from Nuneaton, England
@andrew_kemp @bt_uk @virginmedia To be fair to VM I get excellent service round here. No FTTP available from BT though - I think the best I get is a paltry 16Mb/s. However the customer service.. not so good.
-
Craig (@cra1gs) reported from Birmingham, England
@virginmedia It’s not a good enough response. You’re providing a sub bar service and yet I’m still paying my bill in full. I expect a discount until the matter is resolved.
-
Glenn Arnold (@MrBlitzed) reported from Rugeley, England
@virginmedia So now I can't get into my account YET AGAIN to pay my bill. I changed my password but now I'm told I only have a secondary account and can't access billing. I went through all this crap last year and had a nightmare with your woeful call centre. Had enough now.
-
Craig (@cra1gs) reported from Birmingham, England
@virginmedia having problems again with the internet. Apparently your app says it’s fine. It’s not. Sort it out.
-
Si Hodgkiss-Rogers (@SpykDaBarstud) reported from Rugeley, England
@ryanricardo76 @virginmedia Having problems on and off with mine again. It works for three months... problems for six, etc. Can’t even steam a movie on one device atm. Call for support. Same thing every time. Always say there’s no issue. Must be our devices. Think, at £50 a month... time to change.

𝙂𝙚𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙞𝙚 𝙎𝙢𝙞𝙩𝙝 (@georgieinlondon) reported
@virginmedia He said he did. But i dont understand how he has three routers and now 2. The internet is still really bad and they have been cut off from their home telephone line. Can we arrange an engineer to come check this out and help them please?
-
Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England
@virginmedia Telling me an engineer will come next week now, not good enough. Waited in all morning for one that never came and still no service.
-
Mental health journey (@Mentalhealthjo5) reported
I actually hate being on @virginmedia. The worst service in my area. A top day of sport planned and work but I can’t do either. Could accept this if it was a one off outage but this is the 6th over summer and all conveniently fixed before they can compensate for loss of service
-
Dave Nichols (@DipDabDave) reported
@virginmedia Hi, seems fine with Ethernet, just WiFi. Done pin hole reset thing numerous times. Eventually spoke to somebody on the phone who said it was an issue in the boxes on the street? Not sure that would be the case as I have an Apple Airport which is working fine as a WiFi network.
-
emily (@esoteriqq) reported
@virginmedia Yes I have, I've tried everything. I did phone earlier regarding a different matter and mentioned it on the off chance the website was down. I was told to wait 3 days and call again if the problem persists
-
DMC Ducati Stoke (@DMCDUCATISTOKE) reported
@virgin media, what is your adress to write to you to cancel my contract
-
Jess Adams (@JessLeighA) reported from Ketteringham, England
@Jake_BHughes @virginmedia apparently we have a blockage where they need to connect us, which is what we would need fixing by thursday. being that unreliable we decided to cancel everything with them fully. a shame because what they offered was great. customer service department is not easy to get round 😭
-
rebecca garratt (@RCuttingedge) reported
@virginmedia is there issues in norwich? I have no tv or Internet since 7 am.?
-
Gavin Leith (@GavinLeith) reported
@virginmedia no broadband for almost a day. Phoned and on second call told to call back in 7 hours. According to you no issue and nobody working on my problem. Is it miraculously going to come back by itself in the next 7 hours. Poor…
-
paul dakin (@PaulDakin70) reported
@virginmedia The only thing is that there is never knowledge of any previous tickets issued on my account of which there are now 6. No knowledge of my problem at all so I have to say it all again. This gives no confidence that this won’t go on eternally as surely they should know.
