  • Griggsy1968 Mark Griggs (@Griggsy1968) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia So, 3 phone calls over 50 mins all cut off! All I wanted to do was pay off a handset and upgrade a contract. Customer service 0/10!

  • gunsmoke70 Richard Martin (@gunsmoke70) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia what’s the issue with the service in colchester CO2 area

  • robinsontonyLIR be kind and be nice. (@robinsontonyLIR) reported from Colchester, England

    @InTheseHeels Have you tried turning it on and off again? .....OK in all seriousness it happens to me on my LAN . I concluded as I'm on a domestic connection, Virgin Media , I suspect they refresh the network to loose dormant connections periodically and I get booted off for a few secs

  • 2FingersRampant 2 Fingers Rampant (@2FingersRampant) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia service completely out at CO2 8QA and local area. Status page says all ok, so can you explain this please. Urgent work priority.

  • kennythekilt kenny wilson (@kennythekilt) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia Nope didn’t hear back from them I wasn’t wasting my time and your poor customer service

  • FolkardSimon Simon Folkard (@FolkardSimon) reported from Colchester, England

    @krista_leia I don't know what to believe anymore, he told me on Sunday that Virgin Media were comping to fix it but it's now so bad i cannot even connect it. I can get wi-fi installed here just for me, but you usually need a phone line and the cost is going to be fairly high.

  • gunsmoke70 Richard Martin (@gunsmoke70) reported from Manningtree, England

    @7pudinis @virginmedia Was signal issue that originated from the Initial install yrs ago, bent wire in outside box, I guess over the yrs degraded till no signal, all fixed now

  • kennythekilt kenny wilson (@kennythekilt) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia Your staff should put the customer first pass the enquiry to another team member take break late or offer a call back

  • Grovesy71 Darren Grove (@Grovesy71) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia contract changed last year, advised incorrectly by advisor, discussed with call centre & complained via your complaints procedure - no calls received to date to address from now over 1 month from complaint date #shockingservice for a loyal customer

  • steevXIII Steve Tovey (@steevXIII) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia Hi. Please read the thread. One App doesn't work properly, my TV box is generally fine. From a quick Google I can see it is a problem for other people with Virgin Media TiVo boxes too where the @All4 app doesn't load programmes. I can access the app and all the menu screens.

  • FolkardSimon Simon Folkard (@FolkardSimon) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia Sorry i will not be able to as it is the landlord who is the customer. Thanks though i appreciate it.

  • steevXIII Steve Tovey (@steevXIII) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia I've been having this issue continuously for a couple of months and they are still continuing. Yes.

  • RUSSELL91779006 RUSSELL WALKER (@RUSSELL91779006) reported from Colchester, England

    @IpMcdonald Snap...the same for me, but with virgin media. Absolutely abysmal service.

  • kennythekilt kenny wilson (@kennythekilt) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia Not worth it if you cared it would have been dealt with I will leave and tell everyone and anyone to avoid your NOT customer caring company

  • ColletteLynn_ ¢σℓℓєттє ℓуηη мσσяє♥ (@ColletteLynn_) reported from Great Horkesley, England

    @Howard_Norton @Virgin I haven’t even managed to get through to @virginmedia yet despite multiple attempts and long holds to even comment on their actual customer service. The fact they are trying to charge me for something I have cancelled and haven’t used is beyond the joke already! #poorservice

  • leezaloops Leeza Morley (@leezaloops) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia No I didn’t and I don’t remember receiving one. I have checked all my emails from you and nothing. I rang a couple of days ago to ask for a discount and was basically told to get lost. I spend £100 a month with you guys and was shocked at the service. Account name Lisa Morley.

  • FolkardSimon Simon Folkard (@FolkardSimon) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia I have something called a TP Adapter? in my room. When it is able to come through that the signal is brilliant, but for some reason it is not coming through right now.

  • Laitty Graeson Laitt (@Laitty) reported from Colchester, England

    Great time for my internet to go down again. Third time this week @virginmedia #colu

  • steevXIII Steve Tovey (@steevXIII) reported from Colchester, England

    Anyone else have a problem with All4 app on @virginmedia Can access the menu / home page but anytime I try to actually watch a programme I get a black screen & 4 dots endlessly blinking, as if buffering, but the show never, eeeevveerrr appears... On Googling, seems common issue?

  • FolkardSimon Simon Folkard (@FolkardSimon) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia I managed to get through on the other number as i had forgotten my old account no, the bill is paid and i now have an installation date. I appreciate your help.

  • HuskissonJennie Jennie Huskisson (@HuskissonJennie) reported

    @virginmedia worst customer service this morning, one cut me off and the other sounded like he hated the world. Switched to @NOW and the lady I spoke to was absolutely lovely, what a difference

  • jonathanwithnoh Jon Nicholas (@jonathanwithnoh) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve been trying to call and talk to a human to ask about my new installation. I can only get to an idiotic and annoying autobot. This initial experience of trying to get help totally sucks… is this what I can expect for the duration of my contract?

  • dog_gem Adrian (@dog_gem) reported

    @virginmedia morning. Have you got any issues on your network in postcode EN8 this morning. Cannot get onto WiFi and the router keeps rebooting itself

  • blueishmeteor BlueishMeteor (@blueishmeteor) reported

    @virginmedia We were told Tuesday at the latest even though the service site everything is working and ok when clearly it's not, I've only got 4G on my phone.

  • bossproofreader Foolproof (Sylvia Suddes) (@bossproofreader) reported

    If you are a @virginmedia customer and you can't access your email, the only way to resolve the problem is to call and choose the option that says you're leaving the company. There is no option among those offered (broadband, TV, mobile). #VirginEmailProblems

  • OliNorrington Oli Norrington (@OliNorrington) reported

    @virginmedia What can I do if this keeps happening? I was really happy with my service up to a couple of months ago but if this keeps happening I can’t justify paying for internet access when it’s so intermittent

  • aroutledge49 adam (@aroutledge49) reported

    @virginmedia on hold for 25 mins finally get through and you hang up? Is there a easier way to cancel most my package as the prices have flew up?

  • Jack0182748 Jack_ (@Jack0182748) reported

    @virginmedia In the last 2 weeks I've had issues watching boxing (ppv), bt sport and skysports (not just me either, so it's a virgin issue) plus numerous issues with WiFi. Called as you suggested and whilst being 'transferred' I've been cut off! Please can someone contact me asap

  • therightplace11 therightplace (@therightplace11) reported

    @virginmedia please train your customer support to not disconnect customer calls when they cannot answer a question. It must be daunting for them when the answer isn’t scripted? Terrible service as always!

  • screwy73 Carl Scruton (@screwy73) reported

    @virginmedia I know how to do all that but thats not the problem
