    @virginmedia £55 a month JUST for Internet from April? Been a customer for over 20 years when it was £20 a month. Loyalty just gets you taken advantage of I guess.

  • jim_johnson24

    @virginmedia 7 days and still no @O2 resolution

  • 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 🤡

  • Daddie_Sy
    Simon (LFC) Britton 🔴 #BeKind (@Daddie_Sy) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia why is it not working in LS12 area.

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

    @virginmedia I’ve been hung up on three times this morning by your contact centre! All your willing to do is pass on the “feedback” do you have anyone customer service trained I can speak to ?

  • andy_english
    Andrew English (@andy_english) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @LordTets @virginmedia Go to Ofcom... you have clearly given them ample time on numerous occasions to resolve your complaint. Life is too short to spend your time waiting for promised calls and web chats... let the ombudsman deal with them.

    @virginmedia you're the worst Internet provider ever, you go down more than a prostitutes knickers

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia ongoing intermittent issues with my broadband for weeks now and yet your website gives no option to get through to anyone to help despite it promising to do so. Keeps telling me to check back in 24 hours. Unacceptable level of service!

  • astolante
    Louise🐦🐝🌵🧀🐌 (@astolante) reported from Leeds, England

    And again @virginmedia have taken payment for a service I cancelled and have never actually used. Still can't log on to my account because it apparently doesn't exist.

  • hoppywba
    Hoppywba (@hoppywba) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia great to see you hiked my price and the service is worse. And before you say it yes I have reset my box , that's all you ever say 🤬🤬

  • guyrleech
    Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reported from Wakefield, England

    @vmbusiness strike yet again!😠 Not only are they charging me £7/month for 4G backup that doesn't work, they are now charging me £4 for paper bills that I never asked for. Oh, and still say I owe them money despite me overpaying due a to a red letter that they took by DD later

  • Rees_2807
    Rees (@Rees_2807) reported from Huddersfield, England

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

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

    @virginmedia this is ridiculous now! Broadband keeps dropping out, as usual you guys keep claiming nothing wrong at your end but social media says otherwise. There is people all other FB in particular saying they're had nothing but problems past couple of month.whats going on???

  • astolante
    Louise🐦🐝🌵🧀🐌 (@astolante) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia It was never connected. I haven't been able to access my account because when I try log on, it says my email and account number don't exist

    @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

  • HBurnett28
    Helen Burnett (@HBurnett28) reported from Bradford, England

    @virginmedia our service has gone off again - no tv or internet, appalling service.

  • 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'

  • Bexwa
    Rebecca (@Bexwa) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @virginmedia The TV that it glitches on cant reach the box to get it wired in (but its only 10 ft away) I can't hard wire my laptop in. It goes off all the time! And then keep texting me saying you are coming for the WiFi pod after speaking with customer service. Im paying a fortune for this

  • 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.

    @virginmedia after asking to change my payment date 4 times and extra on the chat and app. Also being told it’s been changed. Now I’m told it cannot be done due to a system issue and maximum amount of changes have been taken. It hasn’t been changed. Terrible customer service.

    @o2 @Virgin @virginmedia CEO Lutz Schueler your organisation cannot send me my Complaint Deadlock letter yet quick enough to SMS details of upcoming events and tickets that’s available. Where is your customer care!!!!

  • twwenlock

    @virginmedia how has the wifi gone down AGAIN two nights in a row 😴

  • jhargie4
    john (@jhargie4) reported

    @O2 @virginmedia CEO Lutz Schueler been waiting 5 days for my DEALOCK Letter following your refusal to actually discuss my complaint before transferring to another service provider. New customers get better deals than 20 year loyal ones.
