    @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.

    @virginmedia We should pay by the minute and then it would reflect on the bill when its down.

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

    @virginmedia No, it wasn't clear that a different socket was needed, so rather than have to arrange for an engineer to visit, I cancelled the service. I still have the hardware and am happy to return it

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

    @virginmedia Major power outage, we never even had loss of service after Storm Arwen!!!

  • 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

  • deangledhill
    Dean Gledhill (@deangledhill) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia Yep did that but the signal strength went . Not strong enough to use upstairs

  • plrw2010
    Paul Waite (@plrw2010) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia why is your customer service so difficult to deal with? They seem like robots reading from a list of FAQ answers! Ask something not on the list they are clueless!! Thanks

  • cgsneal
    Chris Neal 💙 (@cgsneal) reported from Leeds, England

    Hey @virginmedia my broadband is not working. Are there any issues in the LS15 area?

Thanks for the message

    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

    @virginmedia Was for wifi and TV....but it was never even installed. 🤷🙈

    @virginmedia why am h getting the message that my cable is broken

  • SheltonAndy
    Andy Shelton (@SheltonAndy) reported from Heckmondwike, England

    Absolutely disgraceful service from @virginmedia again. If I could change I would! Do not go with them if you have a choice!!

  • mattwillward
    Matt Ward (@mattwillward) reported from Castleford, England

    @virginmedia I'm moving home and want to take Virgin Broadband with me. Your 'Let's chat' button doesn't work. Can you help please?

  • mariaspears
    maria (@mariaspears) reported from Huddersfield, England

    @virginmedia I have had no service for 2 days and I’m having issues logging in to my account as it won’t recognise email/password….. help!

  • 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

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia How do I open a complaint then, because I’m still stuck on the phone with her and she is refusing to let me make my complaint.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • McCourt2010
    Breakaway (@McCourt2010) reported

    Just renewed M350 package with you; £36.00 but new customers can get the same for £28.99!! Been a loyal customer for 14 years; your call centre wouldn't budge - one even quoted £31.00 but the next person contacted said there was no record of this! Disappointed. @virginmedia

  • rising_lefty
    A-A-RON (@rising_lefty) reported

    @j_ball13 @virginmedia They were awful when my nan died. I told them so they could cancel everything, sent proof and still tried to charge each month.

  • PariPassu_Rx
    Pari Passu Newsletter (@PariPassu_Rx) reported

    Telefónica and Liberty Global are looking at ways to bring down the £22bn debt pile at Virgin Media O2, their UK joint venture, after a sharp sell-off in the company's bonds. A roughly $925mn unsecured note fell to as low as 57 cents on the dollar this week, down from about 78 at the start of July, and even the senior secured paper slipped. The measures under discussion include cutting the expected £200mn dividend, pulling back capex, and reducing headcount.

  • Americanvoiceo1
    Joe Duley American voiceover person (@Americanvoiceo1) reported

    Your service is atrocious. @virginmedia I attempted to call in to report (ongoing ) technical issue and your agent tried to upsell me a SIM card. Now...your phone number is not working, nor is our BB or TV. Offcom and Ombudsman will be receiving a correspondence from me.

    @MartinSLewis Well, @virginmedia pretty useless at fixing their service too. Broadband down as we speak!

  • VallaNils13872
    Bo Duddley (@VallaNils13872) reported

    @virginmedia I’m in the unenviable position of having my broadband with virgin and my mobile with O2 I currently have internet cutting out constantly and a phone that can’t get a signal in the backwaters of Cambridge and I pay for this awful service

  • paul_wingrove
    Paul Wingrove (@paul_wingrove) reported

    @EDFofficiel Customer support at EDF UK shows a level of incompetence which is worse than Virgin Media, and God knows VM is utterly useless.

  • Americanvoiceo1
    Joe Duley American voiceover person (@Americanvoiceo1) reported

    @virginmedia STILL! Service completely out! No explanation (although app says 'everything is fine') It's deceiving info. No BB OR phone/TV. CAN'T ring customer service-at all. Now, my life's mission is to escalate w/CISAS as #Virginmedia is costing me financially/professionally.

  • CallForCries
    Kate (@CallForCries) reported

    @virginmedia intermittent service for 24 hours.
