  • LouisJSharpe Louis Sharpe (@LouisJSharpe) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia just joined this week, broadband isn’t fit for purpose. Two of your staff have hung up on me because I want to cancel. Please arrange for someone to contact me to cancel as your staff obviously don’t like the word cancel.

  • cathgray23 Catherine Gray (@cathgray23) reported from Horbury, England

    @virginmedia joined for broadband, being charged for Tv package which we don’t have and a phone line which doesn’t work!!! Mobile no. given to us to discuss account won’t pick up or reply to messages or emails!!! Disgusting service!

  • DaveFincher1984 David Fincher (@DaveFincher1984) reported from Mirfield, England

    @virginmedia currently getting a spinning blue loading circle when trying to access the YouTube app via my v6 box. Any solution you suggest? Been like it for a few days now.

  • LagstoneHall Michael Lockley #TheLostPaintingOfLagstoneHall (@LagstoneHall) reported from Leeds, England

    @ReetNortherner4 @DawnSunrise1 @virginmedia They are poor, I was constantly doing "tests" on the line for a month before they agreed to try and fix it. Then later on, they handed our account to Talktalk without proper consultation who were even worse .

  • FanExperienceCo FanExperienceCompany (@FanExperienceCo) reported from Leeds, England

    @JRD3D4 @virginmedia Same here. Almost daily issues (& we’ve router extensions everywhere). Followed @virginmedia advice but they make it so difficult to talk to anyone that we’re about to move elsewhere too. Can’t have a call of any decent length without the wifi dropping.

  • cathgray23 Catherine Gray (@cathgray23) reported from Horbury, England

    @virginmedia The mobile no. of the customer services chap who sold us the package. I’m not bothered about the phone line I just don’t won’t to be paying for TV we don’t have and I can’t phone virgin without my phone line or I’ll be charged.

  • ClaraGomer Claire Gomersall (@ClaraGomer) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia A fault, however, the router was “updated”.... Worked okay for a couple of weeks, then went back to being out of sync / tinny sound I thought it may have been down to my Gramps TV - but I bought a new TV and used the FireStick on there - but still issues!!

  • Mr_Mark_Taylor Mark Taylor (@Mr_Mark_Taylor) reported from Kirkburton, England

    Morning @virginmedia. Is there a broadband issue for HD8? The service status facility isn’t working on your website. Thanks.

  • ReeceBryan94 Reece Bryan (@ReeceBryan94) reported from Wombwell, England

    @virginmedia how do we get the new wifi extender pods or a new Virgin Hub? Our wifi signal and speed changes dramatically between the front and back of the house, the coverage is dreadful

  • MarcusUK5 Marcus UK (@MarcusUK5) reported from Leeds, England

    When @virginmedia #complaints dept are supposed to ring you within 2 hours - 5 hours later & waiting. Why did I just move to this company? #fail #virginmedia

  • hass770 Hassan Farooq (@hass770) reported from Leeds, England

    @kaybaka @virginmedia The same happened to me for months. I had just entered a new contract so couldn’t leave! Awful customer service although now my WiFi issues have been resolved the service works well! I dread having another issue though and trying to speak to a human to resolve it!

  • cathgray23 Catherine Gray (@cathgray23) reported from Horbury, England

    @virginmedia We discussed the Oomph package which I initially agreed to then changed my mind within the 14 days, informed the customer service guy, by phone, text and email, he said he would cancel. The engineer came and documented that TV had been refused and therefore didn’t install

  • zackwynj zack jones (@zackwynj) reported from Mirfield, England

    why’s my wifi still **** @virginmedia

  • ClaraGomer Claire Gomersall (@ClaraGomer) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia Yes, tried it. For the past year. Unless you’re paying top dollar for fibre optic, the service is just shocking! The wifi strength is naff - trouble connecting in a room next the it. And streaming on the FireStick - can’t watch Live TV and all the videos out of sync with audio!

  • CJay69 Chris Jay (@CJay69) reported from Brighouse, England

    @virginmedia why is it impossible to raise a complaint with you and actually speak with someone, always new will call you back, yet no one ever does.. #worseservice

  • ClaraGomer Claire Gomersall (@ClaraGomer) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia is down. Again!!! Shocking service for a rip-off cost!!

  • parky1021 simon parkinson (@parky1021) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia WiFi constantly dropping out. How do I fix this plz

  • 0ssettTerrier Paul (the original Ossett Terrier 🐶) (@0ssettTerrier) reported from Ossett, England

    @carltonnash @virginmedia Good luck! Unless they're trying to retain your business, they're as bad as @sky

  • AdventuresofBT Ben Turner 💥 (@AdventuresofBT) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia It was compensation following a complaint to CISAS, which was applied as a credit to my account. My account was then closed in late February or early March but I have not yet received a final bill. The last monthly bill I received showed a credit balance of approximately £700.

  • cathgray23 Catherine Gray (@cathgray23) reported from Horbury, England

    @virginmedia We got the first bill, the customer service guy was still answering my calls and he promised we wouldn’t be charged for TV. We were! Our next bill still has TV on and he is not replying to emails, texts or voicemails. One of the reasons we agreed to switch was personal service

  • pammyg6 pam (@pammyg6) reported

    @virginmedia @gaelruth1 how about providing a service that works ?

  • Ruknix Adam (@Ruknix) reported

    Virgin Media increasing its broadband prices in a pandemic but failing to deliver an actual working service.

  • wonderlandwidow Clare Ruscoe (@wonderlandwidow) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks you have been absolutely no help directing me to the teams that I have come on twitter to complain about not being able to get through to

  • simplehacker_ Michael (@simplehacker_) reported

    @virginmedia How can I contact sales as a new customer? Your live chat is down, 0800 064 3836 doesn't work. I've filled out the form and they said they'll be in contact within 10 days, and it's now been 15.

  • Jemima_jess jemima (@Jemima_jess) reported

    @virginmedia I can’t guarantee I’ll keep paying my direct debits to you if this carries on. So if the agent can sort the account, why can’t customer services when I ring up?

  • ajrbyers Andy Byers (@ajrbyers) reported

    Hey @virginmedia you know your phone line and website are spitting out conflicting advice right? Website says to phone, phone line says to user online support. All I want to do is downgrade my internet package, its totally insane that I can't do this online with an ISP.

  • mmpa4 Mansukh (@mmpa4) reported

    @virginmedia I messaged on SMS number given quite a few times, again waste of time as the chat team could not resolve the issue and promised that resolution team will phone me back but again no one phoned, false promises given which seems to be normal practice by VM team.

  • Ruknix Adam (@Ruknix) reported

    Virgin Media are set to increase prices in regards to broadband during a pandemic but failing to deliver an actual working service.

  • hrblackness Rebel 74 ❌ (@hrblackness) reported

    @virginmedia absolutely disgrace that I’ve spent and hour trying to get through to cancel my fathers account and still not through! Can’t even log in on the website! Totally shocking! No means of helping you out!
