    @virginmedia had a link to change my password and every combination I’m trying says strength invalid. Help.

  • wightpie
    Wightpie (@wightpie) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia So why then a) does it specify postal and b) not provide a field for mobile number. At best it’s misleading and at worst incompetent

  • obpls1995
    owen southworth (@obpls1995) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia can you explain why the moment I told your staff over the phone that I was disabled they decided to speak to me as if I was an idiot and then tell me they can't help me because I can't spell out my password despite telling them 5 times what the password was.

  • CallyRaven
    Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @virginmedia And our Internet is down again this morning! So because its intermittent we don't get compensation, tried to call, can't get through (have to do it on mobile, our 'landline' is now internet reliant!)

  • supergran22
    Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England

    @virginmedia I'm not sure this is the 3rd box. It's the one with the router in same room. Re advice remotely got message saying problem could not be solved.

  • tuite_liz
    Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia 2/2 who can I speak to as it was working fine on Friday until the issues that were nothing to do with me happened, so don’t see why I should now pay for a technician

  • elisabethhilto4
    Elisabeth Hilton (@elisabethhilto4) reported from Lowton, England

    @virginmedia Been signed up to a contract I specifically asked not to be. Unable to get through on the phone and your online complaint submission form does not work. Can someone please contact me urgently

  • ylilxanoi
    🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia We have. Multiple times. Your agents don't know how to help. Spoke to 3 different people. I'm getting contant update emails. I don't need to check the service. I know its down. This is beyond ridiculous. I work from home, I can't do my job because of your terrible service.

  • tuite_liz
    Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia Can you check that I will be receiving a credit on my next bill as it has been down since Friday afternoon and I don’t think it will be fixed by 12pm today, I think that time will get changed again.

  • tuite_liz
    Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia my internet has been down since Friday afternoon. I was told it would be fixed in 24 hours, the time has since changed and is currently at 8pm this evening. I work from home so need my internet back up and running before Monday morning. This is disgraceful

  • BeanBolt
    BeanBolt (@BeanBolt) reported from Southport, England

    Tenth issue in FOUR months now with @virginmedia. They've seemed to have stopped replying to my direct messages now. @WeAreOpenreach @bt_uk how long until you're newly installed lines in my area are activated and ready?

  • PattipooFoy
    patricia foy (@PattipooFoy) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia No TV from 23rd December till 29th! Got a new box fitted, okay for about a week then started playing up again! Spent 3 hours on the phone Thursday night trying to sort to no avail...need an engineer to come out again...but no idea how to arrange!! Terrible service 😑

  • DaveMbootlebuck
    DM 🦌 (@DaveMbootlebuck) reported from Litherland, England

    @virginmedia Mine has just gone down now. I can’t ring via the virgin phone because the phone is connected to the hub.

  • SmithysMaud
    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    Day 42 of no service from @virginmedia. Engineer meant to be coming again today, think I’ve more chance of a unicorn showing up to be fair. 🦄

  • ShanklyBob77
    Ian Hawksey (@ShanklyBob77) reported from Aintree Village, England

    Absolute nightmare trying to watch @SkySportsF1 on my phone because of how poor @virginmedia are especially since merging with @o2, used to just put email and password in, now going around in circles with same message asking me to verify email link and switch, very poor practice.

  • tuite_liz
    Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia I first informed Virgin Media that my internet was down via online chat on Friday afternoon. Will this have automatically been the time when my loss of service was registered as at the time the advisor said it would be fixed in 24 hours?

  • SmithysMaud
    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia Telling me an engineer will come next week now, not good enough. Waited in all morning for one that never came and still no service.

  • TheWiganParky
    Laser Lux, Wigan. (@TheWiganParky) reported from Haydock, England

    @virginmedia If my bill went down with my speed, I wouldn't mind.

  • CallyRaven
    Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @virginmedia 3 times in 3 weeks we are without internet! We are paying for a service we are not able to use! Are we going to be compensated for this?

  • PIL0TPEDR0
    Pete Best (Pil0t Pedr0) (@PIL0TPEDR0) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Still having problems there is a fault in the area, supposed to be fixed by 16:25 today, over 24 hours without Internet is a joke

Virgin Media Issues Reports

  • charles_forsyth
    Charles Forsyth (@charles_forsyth) reported

    @biggle1908 @SBarrettBar @zeninternet I have both Zen and Virgin Media (two fibres). Zen is symmetric but VM is not (here), despite Zen being half the price. Symmetry (or not) depends on the underlying infrastructure supplier. VM has been great over many years, fairly usual tech support; Zen has been excellent and the tech support is very techy. ("Symmetric" here means upload and download rate is the same; often upload is much slower.)

  • pauldewolfe
    paul d (@pauldewolfe) reported

    @virginmedia Really disappointed. Called to renew my contract but couldn’t get a good enough deal, so wanted to cancel. They couldn’t process it and told me to call back. I did, gave my name, email, ph number, bank details and last payment, but they still couldn’t pass security.

  • shardon1980
    Shardon (@shardon1980) reported

    @virginmedia I can’t send DMs but update. Issue won’t be fixed until 14th August . Absolutely unacceptable. No notice or comms I had to check myself. I pay you a lot of money. To be over 2 weeks with no WiFi is unacceptable. No details either and your hotline has a wait time of over 45 mins.

  • RoyCadge
    Roy Cadge (@RoyCadge) reported

    @virginmedia Try no, I don't have time for your company anymore! Had a hour call and as the person did like me saying come back with a better offer they hung up on me! Not very good customer service team! Now removed me from all your systems! Do not hold my data anymore!

  • BM502s
    B M50 (@BM502s) reported

    @biggle1908 @C_Midd99 Rkid had the same issue with his Sky package & price, so switched to Virgin Media, now saving £70 a month with faster broadband. Couldn’t be happier with it.

  • walton_bhoy
    John Bhoy Walton (@walton_bhoy) reported

    @virginmedia I have already did the checker its every week if its a problem in the area and not someone,s individual setup in the house why cant it be fixed?

  • AthleticFanMike
    Mike Bennett (@AthleticFanMike) reported

    @Charltonater @skytv I was with Virgin Media before they put my price up by £100. I wish I had just paid it. I have not used my Sky Stream since Friday I am fed up with having to reset it every 20 mins. Just using the Apps on my smart TV now. I’m going to cancel the contract.
