  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia There are no faults in my area. The issue is likely to be with the router as the 2.4ghz works consistently on other devices.

  • themib Martin Bentley (@themib) reported from London, England

    Big fan of the NXT UK roster promoting the wrong Virgin Media channel for Paramount Network (it's 150).

  • thombie123 John Thombs (@thombie123) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia It’s not if you fell short, you guys did fall short . I cancelled my service and it should have been cutoff on the 10th March not the 10th of Feb. all I wanted to here that it was going to be restored. #untrustworthy

  • TomRoss_ Tom Ross (@TomRoss_) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia Yes there are issues showing. But this is direct through the TiVo box not the app.

  • SpencerSCarter Spencer Carter (@SpencerSCarter) reported from South Ockendon, England

    Really shocked, but sadly not surprised, by the service from @virginmedia as an existing customer for many years, I’m overlooked in favour of new ones. No care and lack of customer loyalty. Will be talking about it on my show tomorrow

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia It’s been awful. The connection is sporadic at best.

  • gary2323 G.Marshall Gleghorn (@gary2323) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia All working now but customer service has been a nightmare

  • gary2323 G.Marshall Gleghorn (@gary2323) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Called from Bangalore touting me to renew contract offering me upgrades but lied about cost, sorted this out, then VM continued to bill me at rate I never agreed too, then we had four days of outages, then Bangalore team just disconnect if they cannot sort out a problem

  • Tiger118118 Thomas Hapgood (@Tiger118118) reported from Basildon, England

    Hope @virginmedia fix it before 9 because @LoveIsland Final is on at 9 😖😖😖😖😖

  • annikaallen Annika Allen (@annikaallen) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I need to book an engineer to come out but every time I go through your automated system it cuts me off telling me to go online or that my hub is offline. I know it is. That's why I'm calling. There's a wire broken. It's not switched off. Pls help. Thanks 💛

  • thombie123 John Thombs (@thombie123) reported from London, England

    Virgin Media are the most untrustworthy company I have ever come across I cancelled my TV service #untrustworthy

  • Alanpw1955 Alan Wilton (@Alanpw1955) reported from London, England

    @MannersJack @virginmedia Mine’s ok and I’m in London. Maybe it’s a local problem, it happens sometimes.

  • jta1497 Right Here Right Now.... (@jta1497) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia the worst company for broadband @richardbranson and your name is attached to it. @Offcom please investigate the shambles off an outfit

  • jta1497 Right Here Right Now.... (@jta1497) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia @richardbranson @bt_uk virgin your broadband service in waltham Abbey is disgraceful, even though we have complained you fail to resolve my problems, and are no delivering on your own contract terms. I want this resolved or released frommy contract @poppy_tompkinsx

  • BernardThresher Bernard Thresher (@BernardThresher) reported

    @virginmedia 90 minutes though. An hour and a half? Put yourself in the customers shoes...no you can't, you're a robot. Also, I can't tell you the outcome of the 'call' as I was told to go to whatsapp I know what the outcome is going to be however, one lost customer and lots of negative press

  • Dawn18629990 Dawn (@Dawn18629990) reported

    @virginmedia it’s gone down again why don’t you do do something about it we getting really fed up with now they was some supposed to came this afternoon but you cancelled it told you it keeps happening we are not happy with the service at all

  • BlueWreckingCrw The Rt. Hon Sir John of the Shires (@BlueWreckingCrw) reported

    @virginmedia Yep, and got a text.saying to follow the restart/reset procedures.. It's a hardware issue rather than a connection issue

  • charo_uk Charo (@charo_uk) reported

    @virginmedia Sure I can expand on this,the internet connection hasn’t been great in the last year and when I tried to call to cancel my contract I spent 1,5hr on the phone,spoke to 4 people and the last one hanged up on me saying they had issues and will call me back in 20min,never heard back

  • andyfalconer2 Andy Falconer (@andyfalconer2) reported

    @virginmedia service down again...work from home, losing money...rubbish service

  • InfoBizmobile bizmobile (@InfoBizmobile) reported

    @virginmedia The order was cancelled. Phone never delivered. Email from VM tells me it is cancelled. I then get a letter telling me I am in arrears for something I have never received. I would have expected a call back if cut off.

  • versarchie5 Archie Geddes (@versarchie5) reported

    @virginmedia my sons phone is not letting him call or send messages and it’s beginning to really annoy me and him, to the point I want to cancel virgin mobile and move to EE. He is unable to ring me and I can’t contact him. This is not acceptable.

  • jcbell88 Jenny Bell (@jcbell88) reported

    @virginmedia Multiple failed appts; multiple no-shows to fix the problem; inability to verbally speak to anyone; inability to verbally speak to anyone who has any clue what's going on; piggy-backing on my neighbour's connection for the last 8 weeks!! Latest is appt date for 4 weeks time!!

  • Scius Scius (@Scius) reported

    @virginmedia your service status website has stopped working, I get a 404 after I plug in my postcode and surname.

  • BernardThresher Bernard Thresher (@BernardThresher) reported

    @virginmedia Still nothing. Is it a lack of staff causing these excessive delays? @NTSscamsteam No service or support here from @virginmedia
