    @virginmedia been on hold 15 minutes your agent been back to me yet again same telling me I have to pay extra why do virgin think that if you charge extra this will fix an issue #badcustomerservice actually get it right first time to stop repeat calls

  • 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

  • paul_phillips83 Paul David Phillips (@paul_phillips83) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia the cheek or virgin media staff complain about virgin router dropping out constantly call raise a complaint and tell them router is disconnected from network and request a hub 4 as been told this is what’s needed I get told I have to upgrade to 1 gig for new router

  • mandybaps1 Amanda Brightmore (@mandybaps1) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Useless you haven't addressed my points. I will go directly to the managing director Lutz Schueler. Really disappointed and I woukd have expected better considering I have been a loyal customer.

  • RomegouxLouis Louis Romégoux (@RomegouxLouis) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia please sort the Sky Red button issue which is preventing Sheffield United fans subscribed to Virgin from experiencing the service they've paid for.

  • GAMINGDRAGONUK GAMING DRAGON (@GAMINGDRAGONUK) reported from Hoyland Nether, England

    @virginmedia I already have and I reported the fault bit it see like you have a service outage in my area

  • benbrailsford Ben Brailsford (@benbrailsford) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia on hold for 40 mins so far just to get you to cancel a service I don't even want 🤬

  • giinagii GiinaGii 🐱🌿 (@giinagii) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Third time it's been down today now. Yes completely down, we have no Internet at all. What other services do you mean? We only have broadband with you. Yes, I've booked but not until next week, we CAN NOT have this service for 3-5 days before someone comes out?!

  • alexwhit3head_ Alex (@alexwhit3head_) reported from Sheffield, England

    Coincidence that BT & EE has been selling broadband all day in area and now my @virginmedia is down.

  • andyksheffield Andy Kershaw Media 🎙 (@andyksheffield) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia @lionsgateplusuk Wish I could enjoy this but my so called 500mb service is so poor I’ve virtually been without internet for a week. Finally your team viewed it as urgent because I do work from home on Zoom and…an engineer is coming on Tuesday. When BT Reach put full fibre in my area it’s bye bye

  • BMiller36990477 -BMiller- (@BMiller36990477) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Sure, office this morning at about 8am. No service and Internet access by 9.30M and popped back late morning and still nothing around 10.45am. So finished my admin at home with my own broadband connection. Didn't call or raise the issue as its a pointless exercise. Cheers

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

    @virginmedia I tried that and that’s how I got stuck in this situation. Is there a number I can call that is DIRECT for a complaint?

  • 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 I’m trying to resolve an issue with your collections team regarding an incorrect default and because I no longer bank with the same account and do not have those details, they won’t talk to me, yet they are happy to just take money off me without telling me why. It’s disgusting

  • mandybaps1 Amanda Brightmore (@mandybaps1) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia No one has informed me of this, I feel I have been misold again very poor. No one mentioned this previously I have been told it was a new promotional that was added, so again alot of tosh. Does anyone know what they are doing at virgin.

  • giinagii GiinaGii 🐱🌿 (@giinagii) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for absolutely no help what so ever. Please fix your issues

  • mandybaps1 Amanda Brightmore (@mandybaps1) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia I've emailed MD and they called me within the hour and sorted my issue out within 10 minutes. You should be ashamed of yourselves

  • Koko__Johnson koko 🌻 (@Koko__Johnson) reported from Sheffield, England

    Virgin Media have the worst customer service in the world

  • giinagii GiinaGii 🐱🌿 (@giinagii) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia So you're telling me to be without stable /any Internet for at least 3-5 days and that is okay and acceptable? No. We work from home. You need to fix this.

  • karenbadcock Karen Badcock 🕷 (@karenbadcock) reported

    @virginmedia They tried that and couldn’t get through to a person - only got automated options they’ve told me, none were to speak with a service rep

  • Sue39474269 Sue (@Sue39474269) reported

    @virginmedia Sorry, it states there is a WiFi problem and media problem in our area. How much longer will there be an issue?

  • KDclusterfluff KD (@KDclusterfluff) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks. I spoke to someone and they confirmed that there is an issue in my area and explained that any comp will be autocredited.

  • c4llum321 Callum ™️🇵🇱 (@c4llum321) reported

    @virginmedia I stg fix your internet

  • HushamMemar Husham Memar (@HushamMemar) reported

    @virginmedia Seriously talking to walls here. I think the wall would bounce of what I'm saying and you guys not reading what typeing at all And it is apparent that despite the fact you trying to help. But you have no control to do anything. Thank you this was a waste of time

  • cathyablett CathyLouiseWriter (@cathyablett) reported

    @virginmedia It is now up and running again. I don't expect a fault free service. But the regularity with which these faults and outages are happening is a far way from the level of customer service I do expect.

  • petershaw1984 Peter Shaw® (@petershaw1984) reported

    @jwaddington2802 @virginmedia I agree with the broadband issues, my internet went down to pretty much 15mb after giving my notice. They called me back with a great offer and the broadband speeds increased to my mximum for the area. #interesting

  • Steen_oh Tom (@Steen_oh) reported

    @virginmedia .@virginmedia just so you know, your terrible broadband has dropped 3 times today. Working is incredibly difficult with this atrocious product.

  • Mwheele10 Matthew Wheele (@Mwheele10) reported

    @virginmedia 1 of 2. I have moved home, into an area that is not covered by virgin so I need to cancel. I was quoted £240 to cancel as I apparently signed up for a 18 month contract. I have requested the voice comms from this call as I was informed it was a 1 month rolling contract.

  • MilenKolevv milen X kolev (@MilenKolevv) reported

    @virginmedia Hi there... the problem is an error in your system... I was talking with you customer service for 3 days in a row and they cant fix it. I am New customer and somehow because of a Credit score I have to pay 100 pounds deposit... to be a New customer
