    @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

  • bezzyboy88
    Matty Beswick (@bezzyboy88) reported from Leeds, England

    Outage on @virginmedia since yesterday morning, get a text message this morning saying it’s fixed. It’s not. Ring up to be told it will be fixed by 2nd November what good is that to anybody?

  • 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

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

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

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

    @virginmedia I've received a bill for April but I never actually used your service as I didn't have a compatible socket so cancelled. Trying to sign in, I'm told my email address and account number are not recognised.

  • Barry80901949
    Barry (@Barry80901949) reported from Bradford, England

    @virginmedia I’m on Microsoft edge & have copied the link. Still nothing give me a contact number to actually speak to someone. On Saturday my wife was promised a resolution by Tuesday( today). Is this yet another lie ?

  • ashleyhirst15
    Ashley Hirst (@ashleyhirst15) reported from Bradford, England

    @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!

  • Chm14Mc

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

    Beau (@fastnodeceo) reported from Leeds, England

    @ladyjaney75 @WhichUK When Virgin Media install VOIP phone lines I believe they stick some kind of SIM in for if the network is down, when the engineer knows it is a vulnerable/elderly user from when I asked previously.

  • 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.

  • MENorthAffinity
    Michael Edwards (@MENorthAffinity) reported from Leeds, England

    It feels like @virginmedia and @VodafoneUK are having some weird competition to decide who has the most inept and frustrating customer experience competition. No one is perfect but to be this consistently terrible is almost admirable.

  • ScampyFryNinja
    Paul Knowles (@ScampyFryNinja) reported from Drighlington, England

    @virginmedia your internets gone down in BD11 area. its been off about 15mins now. Router has the red ring around it.

  • 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

    Phil Turner (@philter66) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia Mate ..do you not think I’ve tried that ..hence my tweet ….6 times now …managed to speak twice ..both times systems were down..you CX us so poor these days

  • mikeydavies86uk
    michael davies (@mikeydavies86uk) reported from Bradford, England

    Useless customer service. Spent 40mins being transferred around to have my call cancelled. @virginmedia

  • 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

  • Barry80901949
    Barry (@Barry80901949) reported from Bradford, England

    @virginmedia Have you received my email yet? 21 hours and no response to confirm as you said you would. Still an absolute **** show of a company

  • 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 🤬🤬

  • SamWatt30745054
    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 AI should get rolled out once it works. Currently it does not - yet failing robots are used across the industry, eroding the reputation of those giving their customer the finger with it. Want to immediately be the industry leader?

  • phil66uk
    Phil66 (@phil66uk) reported

    @virginmedia @alexand979677 And they don't take off anything if your service is down either

  • SarkySodRyan
    Ryan (@SarkySodRyan) reported

    @virginmedia you've sent me messages saying you'll charge me for not sending back my old box.... Despite me telling you the new one doesn't work. This is what it displays. Tried calling your customer service number and - as always - I can't get through Any idea what to do? R

  • Cakes6G

    @MickeyDN7 @virginmedia @SkySports Why do you bother giving your money to these huge, crap corporate entities is beyond me!?

  • IainSankey
    Iain Sankey (@IainSankey) reported

    @NommeDeTwit @virginmedia They seem to favour new customers, so I expect I'll have to change again in 2 years or threaten to. It's really stupid that companies no longer reward loyalty.

  • wheelslimshady_
    WHEELSlimShady ♿️ (@wheelslimshady_) reported

    @soarizard @elliviant Tbf mine is usually about £125, rn it’s down to like £76 but I also have tv package with Virgin Media. I have all the sports channels and so I do pay a lot, but I’m not sure how much my broadband is separately! But yes, mine WHEELY fast 🤘🏻🤓

  • chrishenry88
    Sir Christopher (@chrishenry88) reported

    @virginmedia my services will be suspended because of an outstanding bill , however , this is not the first time , that the bill was paid , screenshots taken and now it’s up to Virgin media . Why should I be paying for a shoddy service , at best , anyway ?

  • SamReesO
    Sam Rees (@SamReesO) reported

    @virginmedia @eirwenjulia Perhaps… refund the downtime and fix it? That would be super helpful..

  • rwfc236
    Howard Freeman (@rwfc236) reported

    @virginmedia as usual Virgin media lets me down when I need it. Trying to watch the West Ham game and am in an impossible loop as my passkey is not recognised, it doesn’t actually show how or why and then the link does nothing. Pathetic as usual what a waste of money

    Tee (@nocturnallamb) reported

    @virginmedia what the hell is up with every time I start the bix it goes to home and not on my last viewed channel? STUPID change. Are you corps determined to make all UX as bad as possible 🙄
