    @vmbusinesshelp @vmbusiness Thanks. The 4G backup not working since the service was installed

    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

    @virginmedia 7 days and still no @O2 resolution

  • Churchill0782
    The Churchill (@Churchill0782) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia do you care to give an update regarding services being down in the WF1 area of Wakefield? You estimate keeps changing which is becoming really annoying!! Literally 1000s of households without an Internet connection. #wakefield #poorservice

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

    @virginmedia well done 👏🏽 new way of resolving complaints! Offer a resolution that you know customer won’t accept so you can pass on to an adjudicator… all in a record time of 8mins!!!

    Saffy Saffron(i will be a writer 1day🤞🏼🤞🏼 ) (@saffysaffron) reported from Bradford, England

    @vmbusiness just wanted to ask how much you value customer service? I’ve just had a phone call from your operative with shocking customer service.

  • Aidan1964
    Aidan Carey (@Aidan1964) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia I'm a new customer and cannot access my account. I've spoken to your customer service team a number of times and they haven't been able to sort my issue out. My account is tagged as a secondary account, but I'm the primary account holder!

  • AdamPagett3

    @virginmedia That checker like my service doesn't work

  • rywilnot
    Ryan Wilson (@rywilnot) reported from Darton, England

    @SkyHelpTeam broadband this week has been shocking. Following the help and test in the app says all is well (funny that). Not really sure what I’m paying for. Back to @virginmedia

  • Churchill0782
    The Churchill (@Churchill0782) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia I've checked and definitely not entitled due to the amount of days with no service. Like I said, a good will gesture. People who are working from home haven't been able to work for a start. Only been with you a few weeks and have nothing but issues.

  • Chm14Mc
    Chris McCulloch (@Chm14Mc) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia as a rejoining customer, how do I set up an account with my old accounts e-mail address? #gettingstuck #shouldbeeasier

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia I do need assistance over why the 4G backup didn't kick in when I had an outage last week but I've raised that with you already, I hope

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • DarylBeaumont2
    Daryl Beaumont (@DarylBeaumont2) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia I was moving house they said the bill would be different for the first three months, then back to normal, however apparently I agreed to a new contract @ £14 extra per month, I’d only had my previous contract for 6 months so why would I do this, oh and the house move was cancel

  • 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

    @virginmedia Losing the plot. The outage in my area is 1 mth old today! Been on hold 75mins to add further complaints to my complaint 🤬

  • TRFCSW19
    londonswa (@TRFCSW19) reported

    @virginmedia your engineer came yesterday and lied about someone coming today to solve an issue he couldn’t fix. Now your online booking system not working. Been on hold for an hour now trying to speak to someone. Still no WiFi. Great way to treat a customer of 20years

  • JustAnAlienOk
    RogerSmithUpInThisBitch (@JustAnAlienOk) reported

    @virginmedia Estimated fix time 13th May is ridiculous. What’s the point of spending that much money if it always stops working every month?

  • shyeahmed
    Shye Ahmed (@shyeahmed) reported

    @virginmedia I have been trying to contact VM since Thursday to sort out contract. Waited on the phone 2+ hours and got disconnected. Then spoke to someone saying they have technical issues. Now my bill has been issued at a higher price because I cant get through to you 😡

  • KingT_94
    Sam (@KingT_94) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve been having issues with my internet for the last week. Streaming is a nightmare and trying to use the internet in general has been ridiculous. I’m meant to be getting 250 mb download speed and I’m not getting anywhere near that 🤔 can you advise please?

  • rob_king
    Rob 👑 (@rob_king) reported

    This really is boring @virginmedia. I returned my kit on 26th April with your vendor (Yodel) per your instructions. It’s been stuck in there network and now you’ve charged me for it. Even though you can see I’ve sent it (I provided all the details to customer services on WhatsApp). I won’t be taking a credit, I’ll be disputing the charge. You have no right to charge me for the equipment when it’s with your courier and I have evidenced that to customer services.

  • HammondMilly
    Melitha Hammond (@HammondMilly) reported

    @virginmedia I’m trying desperately hard to keep my child safe online. He has SEN and has spent £300 in over 18 websites since he was 13. I used essential security to lock these from my router however it hasn’t worked for months. Feel really let down!

  • PC_ale
    Paul Caley (@PC_ale) reported

    @virginmedia After several calls, a site visit we still get error CS2312 when playing VOD content- this has been an outstanding intermittent issue since the v6 upgrade to 360 from TiVo.

  • philloeb
    Philip Loeb (@philloeb) reported

    @virginmedia your service is nothing short of abysmal. I signed a contract with you over a week ago, the very next day you sent the wrong contract to me. I have now been on the phone for over 2 hours this week trying to sort out your problem. 1 dept doesn’t speak to the other

  • Emer49034181
    Emerfly66 @CLLIreland @LCovidirl. #Free Palestine (@Emer49034181) reported

    Not only that but they said they’d call me to discuss next steps . What next steps @VirginMediaIE ?!! What could I possibly contribute to solving the issue. This isn’t good enough @virginmedia. I have friends also experiencing problems with VM .
