    @virginmedia No faults found and no errors shown on the tests. Is there a charge for booking a technician?

    @virginmedia What’s the point they seem unable to help and disconnected the call twice! Absolutely hopeless service

    @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

    @chrislepkowski @rjdowning @virginmedia All of ours are finally back but it’s really poor by Virgin Media

    After spending 1hr on the phone to @virginmedia to sort a payment issue out they put the phone down on me 😡 will be cancelling my contract as of tomorrow.speaking to people i cant even understand.. Fuming

    @virginmedia Netflix channel 150 says "Not authorised". Was working ok a couple of days ago. How do I fix this please? Not a problem with my account. Netflix is working fine on my phone.

  • JessLeighA
    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 😭

  • JessLeighA
    Jess Adams (@JessLeighA) reported from Ketteringham, England

    @virginmedia we are awaiting for you to put the line up to the house but there is a blockage. was told you were coming to fix it yesterday but didn’t. said you’re coming today, no idea when.

  • Andybirdlcfc20
    Andy bird (@Andybirdlcfc20) reported from Hinckley, England

    @virginmedia is there a WiFi issue in LE9?

  • MatthewWalne
    Matthew Walne MCSI (@MatthewWalne) reported from Mountsorrel, England

    @virginmedia The text service is a bot so doesn’t understand what I want. I don’t understand how posting on a community forum will help me order wifi pods. I’ve posted but just get replies from other members. I want to be able to contact someone at Virgin not other customers.

  • HarjitDosanjh8
    High End Chauffeurs of leicester (@HarjitDosanjh8) reported from Thurnby, England

    @virginmedia 5 days no internet, promises of 24 hours it will be running, then told a little maintenance, yesterday at 9:30am we were told in 9 hours you will get a call guaranteed (didn’t happen). All day today no work has got done! Poor internet for years and now none!! WTH!!

  • GodivaGuidedogs
    GodivaPuppyAppeal (@GodivaGuidedogs) reported from Nuneaton, England

    @virginmedia Even more reason to cancel, typical corporate strategy why offer people something cheaper in today’s economic climate when you can continue to rip them off

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • MatthewWalne
    Matthew Walne MCSI (@MatthewWalne) reported from Mountsorrel, England

    @virginmedia Sorry, I don’t understand how posting on a forum will get me in contact with someone who can help me. The customer service isn’t good enough.

  • MatthewWalne
    Matthew Walne MCSI (@MatthewWalne) reported from Mountsorrel, England

    @virginmedia I know I recently extended my broadband contract with you but the service is abysmal and the customer service even worse. Can I cancel please and I will go back to Sky.

  • alextiplerfilm
    Alex Tipler (@alextiplerfilm) reported from Coalville, England

    @virginmedia You don't have internet access yet you are on twitter? Can you not get someone to ring me. I am stuck on hold, 16 minutes now, waiting to resolve your issue!

  • HarjitDosanjh8
    High End Chauffeurs of leicester (@HarjitDosanjh8) reported from Thurnby, England

    @virginmedia @O2 @peterkay_co_uk I think your service is a laughing show. Years and nothing ever fixed finally time to move on.

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

  • 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.

  • trulyprashanth
    prashanth (@trulyprashanth) reported

    @virginmedia Formal complaint: missed installs on 12 Apr and 25 Apr, 10+ days without broadband. Equipment installed but service still not activated due to system issues. Extra costs for data and dongle incurred. Please escalate, activate within 24 hours and confirm compensation.

  • Andybedfordblue
    Andy Sexton (@Andybedfordblue) reported

    @BigPaul91 @virginmedia Part of the reason I have just left along with shocking customer service trying to speak to people who don’t even speak English.

  • AndrewW12290183
    Andy W (@AndrewW12290183) reported

    @virginmedia Why did You take £90 out of my account in case I don't send the equipment back ? Thing is I'm still waiting for the returns package from you. Or is another ploy to take more money like when you signed me up for a TV subscription I never asked for.

  • theamayzingmrsM

    @virginmedia im a new customer i was lead to belive a engineer would be installing broadband now i have a old telewest socket the cable that I am supposed to plugg in won't fit now where cable is supposed to go has that to be unscrewed ? I have no service or WiFi tia gail

  • jasoncainesmith
    Jason Caine Smith (@jasoncainesmith) reported

    @VirginMedia No response on X or WhatsApp after hours. Cannot get through by phone due to your system issue. This has left an elderly customer without TV all day. Completely unacceptable. If I don’t get a response shortly I will be making a formal complaint.

  • DWRICHARDS
    David Richards (@DWRICHARDS) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks so much. Who should I ask for?! Current promise via Chat is a chq within 30 days. The problem with contacting Virgin Media by phone or online when you are a former customer chasing a refund is that it is difficult to get past your security checking if it's an old a/c.

  • NathanH17475101
    hennii (@NathanH17475101) reported

    @virginmedia My WiFi has been down for over 2 hours. The box is flashing red. Apparently no outage in my area. I have tried all recommend things

  • AnIndividualist
    TheRealCraig (@AnIndividualist) reported

    If @virginmedia had good deals I would’ve considered re subscribing. But cancelling our old email addresses without notice because we cancelled has caused so much trouble I certain won’t now

  • Merse2506
    John Mercer (@Merse2506) reported

    @virginmedia @A_MyRules1 I have had the same issuea and my box is ****. Never works buffering out of service channel failed. Cant go online link dont work tried calling

    @RogerGreen2009 @virginmedia I'm definitely going to be reviewing my options at the end of my current @virginmedia contract as they've been dreadful in terms of communication and help when the chips are down(day SEVEN of outage)😢 Sadly, I've only just renewed my contract... Thanks for the suggestions👍
