  • DeborahTaylor3 Debbie 💜 🦋🦉 (@DeborahTaylor3) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia I hung up the call, rang back and spoke with a lovely man. Reset my email, password and answered all my quedtions. All the men are when you call, the female was awful. But thank you for the response

  • VanceBulla V-Bull (@VanceBulla) reported from Brampton Bierlow, England

    @virginmedia Faceless customer service. Can’t live chat, can’t chat to anyone on the phone. All they want to do is send you a text or a link to their website. Poor. What am I paying for? Certainly isn’t customer service

  • maddyarden Prof Maddy Arden (@maddyarden) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia our broadband down without warning and service update says you hope to fix this by 5th April! Why so long? We rely on this for work - unacceptable

  • AnnielizzieSten Rt. Hon Annie (@AnnielizzieSten) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia It’s strange because the online help claims there’s no problem but the phone says there’s a major problem in the area. Perhaps the online help needs updating because it’s no help at all

  • samthompson98_ Sam (@samthompson98_) reported from Rotherham, England

    Sky sports red button not working with @virginmedia there’s a shock

  • victimsvoice73 Victims Voice (@victimsvoice73) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Yes both mum n dad are virgin and we’re still getting no signal

  • lettielou05 lettiebella🦉🇬🇧 (@lettielou05) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia hi virgin can you explain why you've referred me to a debt collection agency after I cancelled my service within 14 days snd returned equipment as it was a failed install and was advised I wouldn't be charged ? You also luckily never cancelled my sky .

  • AnnielizzieSten Rt. Hon Annie (@AnnielizzieSten) reported from Sheffield, England

    @PaulbernalUK @virginmedia It’s fine here but earlier in March we were left without any service for days at a time . The reason given was service upgrades. Ring them on 150 for an automated update

  • tevowl9 Adam (@tevowl9) reported from Brinsworth, England

    @virginmedia on the phone for 30 minutes, WhatsApp message and technical support still not sorting us out! Oh but we can double what we pay and get a new hub!! New customers get it for £25

  • ArmitageJohn John Armitage (@ArmitageJohn) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia hi guys, I’ve been without TV services for over two weeks now. Every attempt to@reach you has me going around in circles. Tried the app. Doesn’t recognise my email, and doesn’t recognise my acct no + area ref. Please help. Can I talk to someone?!!

  • Helen_Claire71 Helen-Claire Stone (@Helen_Claire71) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia’s customer service is appalling. 3 hours to respond to a message has to be the benchmark for worst practice. Last weekend it took them 27 hours to sort out cancelling my account. Absolutely hopeless.

  • Callum_SEND Callum 🏳️‍🌈 🔴⚪⚫ ☮️ (@Callum_SEND) reported from Brampton Bierlow, England

    @DysphasiaPV @virginmedia Product is good but customer service terrible

  • AndrewKerrison6 Andrew Kerrison (@AndrewKerrison6) reported from Rotherham, England

    @virginmedia To box not working. Got it sorted now but not happy with been miss sold a package I didn't need then had to waste more time on the phone to cancel it

  • lettielou05 lettiebella🦉🇬🇧 (@lettielou05) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia failed install which worked for 2 hours and I cancelled within 14 days . I've now got a a bill for £62 ! Your staff just cut me off and I'm disabled and need help

  • AndrewKerrison6 Andrew Kerrison (@AndrewKerrison6) reported from Rotherham, England

    @virginmedia I tried to report a problem. The advisor was only interested in selling me a upgraded package. Miss selling packages to customers is not good practice

  • lettielou05 lettiebella🦉🇬🇧 (@lettielou05) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia first day of your internet snd massive regrets ! Can I cancel ? Cutting out constantly 😫

  • lettielou05 lettiebella🦉🇬🇧 (@lettielou05) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia very unhappy failed install and had no service since Saturday and I'm within my 14 days to cancel yet your staff don't understand this and want to charge me for a fault call !! When do you become so crap !!!

  • AnnielizzieSten Rt. Hon Annie (@AnnielizzieSten) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Oh yes and I’ve phoned. It appears to be that yesterday’s problems haven’t been resolved.

  • lettielou05 lettiebella🦉🇬🇧 (@lettielou05) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia No and tbh no apology for my internet not working since the day after install Friday and now I've been threatened in in contract ! I have 14 days to cancel can you confirm please . Im not paying for a fault after 5 days plus it's not worked from install .

  • tommygoodlove Tom (@tommygoodlove) reported

    @virginmedia Can anyone help please? I have just spent an hour on live chat trying to claim compensation for complete loss of service in early June. Chat disconnected before issue was resolved.

  • tommygoodlove Tom (@tommygoodlove) reported

    @virginmedia I have just spent an hour on a 'chat' to query why automatic compensation wasn't paid for a complete loss of broadband service from 4th to 13th June. Foobed off,I was offered £7 for the whole period, then had to educate the agent on the scheme rules. Very poor.

  • LoraineRiddick2 Loraine Riddick (@LoraineRiddick2) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia How can I phone 151 when my phone line isn’t working! And yes, I’ve dialled the 0345 number on many occasions yet still can’t speak to anyone!!no doubt I will hear from you when I cancel my direct debit and move to another supplier!

  • susiek227 susan kelly 🦋🇮🇪🍀💙 (@susiek227) reported

    @virginmedia No. Are you aware of problems in London W5?

  • catclark68 Catherine Clark (@catclark68) reported

    @virginmedia Still nothing. How difficult is it to provide customer support with bereavement notification? Such poor customer service!

  • VelillaGonzalo Gonzalo (@VelillaGonzalo) reported

    @virginmedia @allpointseastuk Hi :) I cancelled my account with you guys and even received a confirmation email that the account was cancelled. However, I have just received an email saying that my bill is due in 3 days. As you can imagine, I am not very happy to pay for a service that is not being rendered

  • KhujatoTayuun KhujatoTayuun (@KhujatoTayuun) reported

    @virginmedia I love your roaming charges when I have to call my bank and you cut me off with your subpar service after a 45 minute wait and I have to pay £90 for your incompetent service. Cheers

  • careysgirl50 californiagirl1994 (@careysgirl50) reported

    @virginmedia Speed issue

  • MemePoet THE SYSTEM IS RIGGED (@MemePoet) reported

    @virginmedia I have stayed at home 3x instead of going to work for someone to come and collect a wifi box to 0 success. I’ve never received a postage box to send back the wifi. I’ve never withheld or refused to return the box.
