    Just Music Yorkshire 🎵 (@jmyorks) reported from Garforth, England

    @virginmedia do I get an award. None hours on chat just clocked up and not one inch forward despite being passed from one wrong department to another when asked for customer services at 9.05am and have been through every department but then.

  • philter66
    Phil Turner (@philter66) reported from Leeds, England

    Hi @virginmedia maybe try answering my call ..as a customer of 25 years paying the atrocious figure of £145 a month @skytv could be getting a new customer

  • SamWalker03
    Sam Walker (@SamWalker03) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia are up there with the worst companies for customer service. Their IVR is infuriating, they hang up on you when you do manage to get through and then tell you there is no way to make a complaint ! @Ofcom do you regulate these clowns 🤡

  • vid_mitra8
    Vid (@vid_mitra8) reported from Leeds, England

    Virgin media is frustratingly slow. We pay around 33 each month. That’s more of what we pay for two months of internet, TV with all sports channels everything and Netflix, Disney and Amazon prime included. Might move back to India I swear.😭

  • Mcollinson72
    Michael Collinson (@Mcollinson72) reported from Wakefield, England

    Slow glad to be moving from @virginmedia broadband this Friday. Their advertised speeds used to be unparalleled but since FTTP alternatives becoming available their appalling level of service and refusal to acknowledge or deal with faults has forced a once loyal customer

  • ringroads
    Martin Lowrie (@ringroads) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia We have finally got through to someone other via a mobile phone to sort it out. But there does seem to be an issue with your website.

  • HarlamTK
    Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported from Wombwell, England

    @virginmedia And I can’t raise a complaint on the site without having an account, which I don’t have, so that is a pointless endeavour as well

  • suellen2623
    sue ellen draper 💙🇺🇦💛 (@suellen2623) reported from Leeds, England

    @O2 and @virginmedia should be ashamed of themselves. 10 tickets per customer is not right. Their loyal honest customers once again miss out thanks to the greedy. As for the websites complete joke should have been prepared for this!!!! #peterkaytickets

    @virginmedia am not happy my has internet gone down half way through @Power_STARZ finale kmmmmmt

  • SaffsAI
    Bam Bam (@SaffsAI) reported from Bradford, England

    Why companies like @virginmedia use WhatsApp support I do not know. The system makes you wait an hour, if you don't respond in 10 minutes, it kicks you off the chat just to make you wait again

  • badlydrawnroy
    Roy (@badlydrawnroy) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia There were no outages in the area, every time I tried to use the system to fix the problem an error or maintenence page came up. Tried logging into the router to fix and the tools were all broken. Finally an hour later it just came back on by itself.

    @virginmedia 7 days and still no @O2 resolution

  • SamWatt30745054
    Sam Watts (@SamWatt30745054) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia I’ve run test after test, at least 5-6 outages a month for last 2 years. Horrendous service and this is the final straw unless you offer me a refund of say £20 a month for last two years, if not I’m going BT and a dodgy box from Mad Frank in pub

  • Mcollinson72
    Michael Collinson (@Mcollinson72) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia awful and aggressive scare tactics from your not so friendly cancellations rep when trying to cancel my service. God help any vulnerable person that tries to do the same thing. Shameful

  • MatthewJP2014
    Matthew Preston (@MatthewJP2014) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia @O2 what's the point Virgin is as bad as BT I was supposed to have Virgin Broadband & phone installed on Friday got told yesterday it was delayed til December 1st earliest with no reason as to why asked for a 5G router to get me by til then was put on hold for 20 mins then cut off.

  • PennineHR
    Pennine HR - your HR partners in business (@PennineHR) reported from Huddersfield, England

    @vmbusiness we are customers in Huddersfield hd4 6en no Internet and can't get into our account or find any info on faults etc. Can you help please?

  • a8dullah_mulla
    Abdullah Mulla (@a8dullah_mulla) reported from Heckmondwike, England

    @virginmedia somethings never change, £21 price increase can’t get you good customer service. Complaint logged for the second time, will I get response this time? 🤔

  • jamiewhalley87
    Jamie Whalley (@jamiewhalley87) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia I have been trying to get through to your cancellations department since Saturday. In total, I have been on hold for 3 hours. 1 hour intervals before you cut me off. Your txt service is SH*T. Your agent introduced himself as working for Three, before he disconnected

  • JudgeDrokk
    Judge Drokk | Mark Hellewell (@JudgeDrokk) reported from Darton, England

    @virginmedia Well I don't know if the problem has been restored at virgins end I received help and advice from an outside source who showed show me how to work around the problem with manual DNS entries. But for me, working now. Thanks.

  • trlawlor
    Tom Lawlor (@trlawlor) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia Have you tried turning it off and back on again? That appears to be your answer to every technical issue.

    @virginmedia broadband down since yesterday all day. Claims that engineer fixed it at 5pm yesterday only for the service to be down again this morning. What did they fix exactly?! #poorservice#broadband

  • alexanderjordan
    alexander jordan (@alexanderjordan) reported

    . @virginmedia network down since Tuesday. Entirely down Tuesday, intermittent Wednesday, down again today, you keep changing the status and then advise to wait 21 hours to book an engineer, that would mean earliest visit Monday provided you don’t change the status again.

  • Fpityyyy
    Fpity (@Fpityyyy) reported

    @SnapeBS @Slugy__ @virginmedia get off virgin lad its the worst provider for cod ur handi cappin urself i was on it i get 28 ping i switch provider im on 6ms

  • w47carr
    Mrs c (@w47carr) reported

    @virginmedia The reason I need to cancel is because we ad a bad thunderstorm and my tv hdmi ports are all broken so I can't watch the tivo box

  • ColinFenn45
    Colin Fenn (@ColinFenn45) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, poor signal strength is wifi only, if I am streaming on my laptop it becomes unusable, with a msg not enough bandwidth, and will last for about 15mins. The signal strength notification struggles to make any bars, and eventually clears.

  • George66Steve
    Steve George🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@George66Steve) reported

    @lennylaw @virginmedia What's the number? Companies don't like to be contacted directly these days and finding contact numbers is often very difficult. You'd be performing a public service by letting us all know what Virgin's is.

  • SteT238
    Ste (@SteT238) reported

    @virginmedia The first engineer cleared errors off the hub then requested the underground engineer to attend who then replaced the cable underground to the property. Our next door neighbour has also reported the same issue.

  • garyb007
    Gary Broadbent (@garyb007) reported

    @lennylaw @virginmedia There's an exception to every rule. Usually they're crap. Certainly the worst company I've ever had the misfortune to deal with.

  • Ailsa56202286
    Ailsa (@Ailsa56202286) reported

    @virginmedia why do you make it SO DIFFICULT to cancel and waive the fee - I’ve asked for an extension of time to prove my new address and 5 agents have told me this has been extended- call up today NO - my payment is overdue MAY AS WELL TALK TO MYSELF - take some responsibility

  • jamesh220279

    @virginmedia Hi, my TV contract with Sky is due up soon, and i am an existing broadband customer with 1 stream box. How can i get a price to add Virgin TV to the package?
