  • ChrisLonelyguy Christopher Hallick (@ChrisLonelyguy) reported from Leicestershire, England

    Come on @virginmedia I'm again being plagued by #fake #scam #fraud calls on landline. I'm not registered anywhere and on blocked lists. There's auto diallers i believe but operators should be cracking down on this.

  • ollieg21296 Ollie (@ollieg21296) reported from Ketteringham, England

    @virginmedia What’s going on with Virgin TV Go? Says Technical Problems.

  • Dog_in_a_hat Wayne™ (@Dog_in_a_hat) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia Why would I run a wired speed test when I have no wired appliances? I pay for a wifi service...

  • faizalmom Faizal Momoniat (@faizalmom) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia rang up yesterday for disconnecting phone & broadband very bad attitude from the lady i spoke too from the beginning off the call when i first said hello.

  • jnlangton joseph langton (@jnlangton) reported from Braunstone, England

    @timofnewbury @virginmedia there is an outage here in middle england 16:00 ETR

  • Dog_in_a_hat Wayne™ (@Dog_in_a_hat) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @grayomtb @plusnethelp These broadband providers should be made to repay people for such poor service... I have constant issues with @virginmedia ...

  • breadf2man Fazal Rehman (@breadf2man) reported from Thurmaston, England

    @virginmedia If 8 of your operators and an engineer cannot fix my Virgin Broadband I dont think the forum is going to do a lot unless they come to my house and repair it

  • UwaysBobat Uways Bobat (@UwaysBobat) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia Stfu man. Ur lots internet is utter ****.

  • yogi7592 Yv (@yogi7592) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia been on live chat hold for nearly 30 minutes and it’s still saying 45 minutes wait as it did at the start. Not very good customer service since pandemic.

  • breadf2man Fazal Rehman (@breadf2man) reported from Thurmaston, England

    @virginmedia It said Internet not working and to stick cables in which I did and then it said it was fixed like magic but its not ... still not working

  • breadf2man Fazal Rehman (@breadf2man) reported from Thurmaston, England

    @virginmedia I rang Virgin again after work, redirected to technical advise, done some things from his end and he said it would settle down and be just fine .... the internet is dropping off just the same, no improvement

  • rachlb33 Rachel Biddles (@rachlb33) reported from Glenfield, England

    Always good when @virginmedia take your internet down on a Friday to ‘improve the service’ without any warning, when you’re working from home!

  • lizdixon77 Liz (@lizdixon77) reported from Mountsorrel, England

    @virginmedia constant problems with broadband over past few weeks, still not up to 500mb speed I should be. Calls to your call centre are pointless and no promised calls back received!

  • NimeshDave7 Nimfresh.exe (@NimeshDave7) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia @vmbusiness why does my RTC internet connection disconnect every hour and connect 10 seconds later? It’s been happening for weeks, every hour it will go down for 10 seconds then reconnect??!?!? It’s problematic for my work!

  • MYLA5TROLO Tiger Sue (@MYLA5TROLO) reported from Blaby, England

    @virginmedia No, never been asked before. And the advisor said ‘within 4 hours’, engineer turned up today, I’m not there! He said they don’t work Sunday anyway. Advisor needs some re training.

  • VictorKaufman Victor Kaufman-Bartfield (@VictorKaufman) reported from Oadby and Wigston, England

    Quite apt that @virginmedia use the nil point British #eurovision2021 entry as their hold music - reflective of their customer service.

  • breadf2man Fazal Rehman (@breadf2man) reported from Thurmaston, England

    Broadband has been failing since Sunday, phoned Virgin Media at least 6 times ! Engineer came today said he had fixed it, hour later exactly the same problem. Very poor service and they say I should use broadband less

  • Dog_in_a_hat Wayne™ (@Dog_in_a_hat) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia So let’s think about this, I have a hub, it’s in one room, I have numerous appliances which run of Wifi, which are portable ie can be used everywhere, but you feel I should only use wired device! Not really selling your service well are you!

  • sarianlives Andi James Chamberlain (@sarianlives) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia can I have a telephone number to talk too someone@please, as I am having internet problems and now your website will not allow me to report it. His is frustrating service to say the least.

  • lizdixon77 Liz (@lizdixon77) reported from Mountsorrel, England

    @virginmedia Have done it both ways. It isn’t just the speed it is dropping out completely for long periods of time and the staff in your call centres are if no help unless you want to buy a new service and you do not get promised calls back.

  • markdickson51 Mark (@markdickson51) reported

    @Pistol1874 @virginmedia I left sky to join virgin and left virgin for sky again, my broadband was awful I used my data most of the time

  • davidjb1988 David Bowman (@davidjb1988) reported

    @virginmedia I called today to cancel. The issue I have is you only emailed me on the 17 August about the contract ending. So you expect me to give 30 days notice even though you didn't give me 30 days notice. You're going to charge me until 22 Sep for a service I cannot use.

  • Sherl06303 David Holmes (@Sherl06303) reported

    @virginmedia Your representatives appear to just lie to terminate the transaction and the customer just has to start again (and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again….)

  • RobinhoEBFD Robinho (@RobinhoEBFD) reported

    @virginmedia Well it's obviously not worked twice before. Seems obvious it's unlikely to work again. I've also not seen a single penny saved from this supposed automatic compensation scheme. It seems you can't provide me with a service but still expect me to pay for it.

  • stevewotton Steve Wotton 🔶 (@stevewotton) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, construction work needs to happen outside my house, but that hasn't happened and there does not seem to be any plan to make it happen or any urgency to fix things. A permit is required, but it was abandoned, and I have no idea if another permit has been applied for. 1/

  • markdickson51 Mark (@markdickson51) reported

    @Pistol1874 @virginmedia Virgin media is awful mate, would leave them asap

    @virginmedia Not a good start @virginmedia - installed at 3:30 - down at 6:30 ??

  • terry_ev Terry Everett 🇿🇦🇬🇧 (@terry_ev) reported

    @virginmedia I will let you know, on Saturday, between 12 and 4, which is apparently the first opportunity you have to get someone to fix the problem 😡

  • stevewotton Steve Wotton 🔶 (@stevewotton) reported

    @virginmedia I raised a complaint more than a month ago, apart from a couple of attempted phone calls no one has responded to the complaint, despite promising to call me back (I have had more call back promises than hot dinners), however no one has ever, ever called back. end/
