  • dreadedwhisky Guy Rushworth (@dreadedwhisky) reported from York, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for the response. As far as I’m aware I can’t text you so you can run diagnostics. I also can’t call you free. As my phone won’t connect with your network all of a sudden. The phone is fine as the SIM card I had to buy to keep working is having no issues.

  • GergoRagalyi Gergo Ragalyi (@GergoRagalyi) reported from York, England

    @virginmedia I don't need for this, how i told the problem not in my house. There is the problem, there is the postcode, the rest is your job

  • richardbridge1 Richard Bridge (@richardbridge1) reported from York, England

    @virginmedia since I have moved to you 2 months ago, my TV service has been poor and broadband speed not as promised. This is despite a no of lengthy phone calls. Before I issue formal complaint please can I ask you contact me to resolve Thanks cc @MoneyTelegraph

  • fogey Gareth 🇪🇺 (@fogey) reported from York, England

    I’ve been phoning tech help for years about this, and NOT ONCE have they said that my broadband has been throttled due to over use. Up yours, Virgin Media. 🖕

  • dreadedwhisky Guy Rushworth (@dreadedwhisky) reported from York, England

    @EE There’s a distinct possibility that I’ll be switching services in the imminent future. The help from @virginmedia has been laughable. However, having spent £10 to top up the EE SIM card and then finding out I can’t contact your customer support because it costs 25p extra is rich.

  • christ1167 Chris tovey (@christ1167) reported from York, England

    @virginmedia On the forum one person states: I've rang 150 and have been told that Virgin Media block access to this site which I can't believe given its just a bicycle retailer but I couldn't get any further with that on the phone.  There is are more issues mentioned Kind regards Chris

  • lfcemma Emma Puckrin (@lfcemma) reported from York, England

    @virginmedia Been a virgin customer for 4 years. Prices going up. Quality of service, both customer and connection going down. Give me a valid reason/s to stay with you My package going to be £90 when new cust £60

  • GergoRagalyi Gergo Ragalyi (@GergoRagalyi) reported from York, England

    @virginmedia Yeah, it said same to me as well, but the problem not in my house. I said : nobody has internet connection who use virgin media in the street! I asked them!

  • CharleyBeene Charlotte Murray (@CharleyBeene) reported from Copmanthorpe, England

    @virginmedia 50 minutes on the phone. 6 operatives. Nobody can tell me when the fibre will be fixed. First today. Then Monday. Then the 17th. Then the 22nd. Then the 17th again. Like I said - a shambles. Service cancelled. @Ofcom @bt_uk @SkyMediaUK #hitmeup

  • fogey Gareth 🇪🇺 (@fogey) reported from York, England

    I’ve never had a heartbroken ex (my last was over 30 years ago and it took her months to notice I’d gone) but I imagine it’s a similar experience to leaving @virginmedia - suddenly they’re attentive and concerned, and won’t stop asking me why I left. Bit late for that now, love.

  • Gaarmstrong318 Geoffrey Armstrong (@Gaarmstrong318) reported from York, England

    @virginmedia so had a complaint lodged, not heard anything in 6 weeks then get a letter promising a call within a week to discuss it and yet again no contact..... total joke and services are still not working right

  • Gaarmstrong318 Geoffrey Armstrong (@Gaarmstrong318) reported from York, England

    @virginmedia Hi so yeah your router will not connect to my pc or laptop unless it physically connected (meaning I had to buy my own Ethernet over power kit) also my TV set top box has been spotty ever since we moved here. The complaint was to see if I can get some form of compensation for the

  • Gaarmstrong318 Geoffrey Armstrong (@Gaarmstrong318) reported from York, England

    @virginmedia so pissed off with you now, had a call from your complaints department that ended up with your staff member being RUDE and AGRESSIVE with me! Seriously what ********!

  • varney1987 James Varney (@varney1987) reported from York, England

    My buffering problems have reached their peak and now my internet just isn't working. When I renewed my contract I upped my contract so i would t have any buffering. @virginmedia #WasteOfTime #WTF

  • Gaarmstrong318 Geoffrey Armstrong (@Gaarmstrong318) reported from York, England

    @virginmedia getting so sick of having to deal with you. Raised a complaint in August had one missed call in August and a letter in September saying you would get it touch only to be told you are now closing the complaint cause I haven’t spoke to you..... seriously this is a joke

  • fogey Gareth 🇪🇺 (@fogey) reported from York, England

    20 minutes and counting on hold because I have to be “transferred to the department that can close accounts.” And @virginmedia are “disappointed” that their appalling customer service is one of the reasons I am closing my account.

  • Gaarmstrong318 Geoffrey Armstrong (@Gaarmstrong318) reported from York, England

    @virginmedia I saw the disclaimer. What is really shocking is I’m having to have this out publically with you. Your offshore call centre is not fit to diagnose issues. Every times I’ve called with a major fault I’ve been told there is an area fault and to wait for it to be fixed.

  • GergoRagalyi Gergo Ragalyi (@GergoRagalyi) reported from York, England

    @virginmedia I called and they said they try to fix the problem couse it's local problem. So i had true, bit i already don't care couse i ****** up. I wated my time and my money because of this. And you always doing like this every f*cking week

  • GergoRagalyi Gergo Ragalyi (@GergoRagalyi) reported from York, England

    @virginmedia Yes i did everything. Still no connection for nobody in the whole street. Sorry couse i couldn't fix it i am not engineer.

  • GrahamRelton Graham Relton (@GrahamRelton) reported from York, England

    Nice one @virginmedia you’ve lost a loyal customer as you’ve increased my bill by over £22 with no warning. Service continues to be mediocre at best and goes up every year (without fail) with no improvements. @TalkTalk @TalkTalkGroup York’s Ultra Fibre Optic here we come!

  • Loken_Moon Mr Moon (@Loken_Moon) reported

    @virginmedia Nope. I tried that and was given an automated message about my area. Also texted me a link to the website which i cant access... cause its down... see how that went wrong? Notice how your automated fob-off machine got that bit wrong?

  • NFJensen Neil Fredrik Jensen / @GameofthePeople 🇺🇦 (@NFJensen) reported

    @virginmedia Sorry, this is exactly what we have done, repeatedly. Your system simply doesn't work.

  • hollowlegs Lizzie Mabbott (@hollowlegs) reported

    @virginmedia Hello. I've just had an email that a new sim is on its way to me. Why do I need ANOTHER one? I went through this pain in May and had 2 months without service.

  • penterpad Claire (@penterpad) reported

    @virginmedia ASAP isn't quick. I was promised callback from technical support within 24 hours, it's been 11 days

  • MRConway80 Mike Conway (@MRConway80) reported

    @virginmedia The issue has again come back with a loss of service. I would like a call on this urgently. I was in the process of organising an online medical appointment for treatment and now have had to halt this. I cannot have a web call as I have no internet. This is a complete shambles.

  • AlastairOvalleL Coke Chef Gordo (@AlastairOvalleL) reported

    Service is. So tell me @virginmedia how you gonna help one of your loyal customers?!?!

  • apt Ade Thompson (fully 💉+😷) (@apt) reported

    @virginmedia It’s part of a wider issue he said and that the issue was incorrectly marked as resolved so it’s showing as fixed on the public facing status tracker. Can you confirm this is being investigated and provide an update on the reason and a timescale? Area is HX37NX.

  • Ju5t_1n Justin (@Ju5t_1n) reported

    @Tim_Ozzy72 @virginmedia You are clearly using the 30 days notice on customer as a cash stream.

  • elstoleno Rachel Bell (@elstoleno) reported

    @virginmedia It’s just gone down again. Why is your service so unreliable at the moment?

  • AlastairOvalleL Coke Chef Gordo (@AlastairOvalleL) reported

    @virginmedia you have the worst and the most disrespectful customer service. I'm complaining on the phone to one of your colleagues about our lack of Internet for the past 4 months asking when you will fix this supposed outage in the area (that we've had for four momths) and how
