    Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reported from Wakefield, England

    @KevEdwardsRetro I've been with them for years (Yorkshire Cable before that) but changed to the @vmbusiness service to get 4G backup only to find that it doesn't work when their device is in modem mode. Unable to get through to them though - worst support/customer service I've ever experienced

    @virginmedia. It's getting ridiculous that my Internet has been jumping up and down like a skipping rope. LS8. I can't get anything done due to no connection. I do not want to use my mobile data anymore. Please sort this.

  • 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 🤡

  • GavHeaton
    That Heaton Mess (@GavHeaton) reported from Wibsey, England

    @virginmedia Currently not so bad as of yesterday evening. But as @GGTVBD has stated, quite expecting that to change later today. I have noticed however that at a few points throughout the night it must have dropped again as parts of my cctv recording I've reviewed says 'Poor WiFi connection'

    Barry (@Barry80901949) reported from Bradford, England

    @virginmedia what an absolute **** show of a company. My wife renewed her sim only contract last month & was offered an iPad as a free gift as a loyal customer. 5 times she was sent new iPhone 14,s by mistake. She went out of her way to return them all with the incentive of 1/2

    @skytv are proper jokers account due for renewal and only offered to knock it down by £7 per Month... That's the £7 increase they put on... Virgin media can get same package for £30 cheaper!

    @virginmedia what’s going on with internet service in HD8 area ? I don’t want to have to wait 23 hours before calling a technician as advised by your service page

  • 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

  • Pilki
    Christine Pilkington (@Pilki) reported from Bradford, England

    @virginmedia Nothing! I'd be a very rich lady with all the apologies I've had in the last few 7 days, apologies doesn't get my service back does it?!

  • MartinCaine
    Martin Caine (@MartinCaine) reported from Huddersfield, England

    @virginmedia Two whole days now with our Internet connection dropping every ten minutes. How long is this fix expected to take?

  • 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.😭

  • khurambfd
    khuram (@khurambfd) reported from Bradford, England

    Sam Watts (@SamWatt30745054) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia you are aware that a lot of older, more vulnerable people have had alarm and safety devices installed that depend on a safe, fast, reliable service. The one that they, like, you know pay a lot of money for

  • ScouseBouncy
    Scouse House Bouncy Music (@ScouseBouncy) reported

    @virginmedia Not my account so I can speak you about it. What happens though is, you start a stream and then it corrupts, goes to a black screen and goes to a “Error code: COMPO” then closes. This is not network related, it’s not a box issue. It is an issue with authentication

  • GW_Mktg
    GW 🔰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@GW_Mktg) reported

    @O2 terrible signal in my own home. @virginmedia have let me down (yet again) so no WiFi equals no use of phone. Long-standing client and not really feeling that benefit. Started a DM conversation which went dead. Please help

  • ravipal1214
    Ravi Pal (@ravipal1214) reported

    @virginmedia customer. Activated 24 July on Gig1. Nine days in: WiFi works in one floor of my house, upload is 40% below spec on router, I’ve been told I cannot order the equipment needed to fix it. 90 minutes on chat today produced a £5 offer and a suggestion that I cancel. Detail below. 🧵
