@virginmedia Service status says no known issues but when I call over the phone an automated message refers to intermittent problems last two days and that engineers are taking a long time to fix complex problems. Currently ok but recently every day there is a long period of issues.

I understand it takes time to replace fibre optics. I don‘t understand why @virginmedia sends out messages that are plain wrong. My connection is not working, has not been working ever since Tuesday evening. Is this to avoid having to pay back customers?

@virginmedia broadband has been absolutely dire in the last few weeks. Phases of outage or sun 2mbps speeds. Anyone else experiencing similar in SE26 area? Remember it was around cold snap it got bad - maybe affected the infrastructure.

@virginmedia Thank you but we have complained and no response. We are with you because you offer 200Mb and we need that, the closest competitor offers only 60Mb. It’s frustrating that we are paying for a service that is not guaranteed

@virginmedia That is what happened. If it didn’t happened to you it is even more strange. Do you want me to do it again and record it? In the meantime, I was contacted today and agreed a way forwards to stay with VM. It is quite hard to have to deal with bad customer care while grieving.

Anyone have constant issues with @virginmedia we pay for 200Mb super fast broadband. We are in Bromley. Over the last year we have had nothing but issues and no matter how many times we make contact we get fobbed off. We are paying for a service that cannot deliver. Anyone else?

I have noticed a lot of people complain about the service received from @virginmedia for broadband. @Ofcom please can you look into this? We pay for a service that has constantly let us down for many months.

@virginmedia I have been “on hold” since 1851 for a customer service agent. This is kinda cementing my view of needing to leave.

@virginmedia In relation to a potential weakness in security. I’ve got a retro phone with no caller ID. I have a name, they provided a customer licence number for me to check and to authenticate them as genuine . I have a name and they said they were phoning from Hampshire.

@virginmedia Yes I did, a VM agent went through the whole event and resolved it for me. There are thousands of VM customers in a FaceBook group suffering similar problems it is called Virgin Media Customer Service.

@virginmedia It keeps pixilating, over several different channels. HDMI cable was replaced on the last engineer visit, and he retuned something to fix it but it has started to happen again, over various channels.

Julie
(@Punkygirl1968) reported
@virginmedia An area fault I think. But she keeps being told its fixed and the landline still isnt working. 3 technicians have turned up and said it will be working and it isnt. If she has a fall she cannot use her Careline service

@virginmedia is it just coincidence that since you started charging more the service has gotten worse. Been using your website and gone through the call centre twice now and we have intermittent connectivity at best for last few weeks.

(@Johnny_Utah2000) reported
@virginmedia Hi, I've called the automated service line and it didn't mention any area issues. The virgin media page ran a test on my hub, recommended I turn it off and check the cable connections, and then when it wasn't resolved, book an appointment with an engineer. Which I have.

(@del_forde) reported
@virginmedia No, I’ve raised a complaint. The team as you call them just love to constantly lie about the the date or cut the call off. The service I’ve received from Virgin has been a complete joke. How can it take over 3 months for installation
-
Mrs McG
(@themrsdmg) reported
@virginmedia Thanks for the reply. Of course, but to not even have an update after over an hour of waiting is rather poor. Tried again this morning, another hour of waiting to get connected, only for it to freeze as soon as it does! So frustrating!!!

@virginmedia Why do others get a link to a chat to discuss and resolve? No new complaint was opened until was confirmed the other was ‘missing’. The new complaint got closed immediately.

(@graham_beeke) reported
@virginmedia That was the price after talking to them, even broadband alone couldn’t match price of a bundle of a new customer. Such a bad practice now leaving me with a bad experience of Virgin after all these years. Crazy thing is I can come back in 60 days as a new customer 🤯

@virginmedia It covers 8th March-6th April. Also, really confusing things happens. The direct debit payment for £69 was declined by my bank, barclays. Now I don’t have boardband connection because of payment issue. Additionally, I received an email from your resolvement team…

I’ve hated every moment being on @virginmedia for the past month or two. I called the cancellation team and she claimed she had issues with her system so will call back in 30 min. As she went to hang up she changed that to an hour. I’m now over an hour and no call. Let me go!
