  • martinaspiers
    Martin Spiers (@martinaspiers) reported from Oughtibridge, England

    @virginmedia That would appear only to relate to your services? I'm not a customer (except via 02).

  • summitsleap
    Anita Whittaker (@summitsleap) reported from Conisbrough, England

    If you are going to cancel a contract and move to a new provider, don't rely on them taking action from your phone request. They can always say you didn't call then continue to charge for something more expensive, @virginmedia will then pass you to debt collection companies.😔

  • Sheffield_Boy
    Marc Riley (@Sheffield_Boy) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia got a flashing Internet light on router that won't go away so my WiFi (and therefore TV/ streaming etc) not working. Tried rebooting, resetting, the works. Online help / faq no help. Are there any issues?

  • loonylankylegs
    🇬🇧Russelena Jessie🇬🇧 (@loonylankylegs) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia Yes but can never get through via phone

  • 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

    @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

  • 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?

  • 67BLADE
    Mark Bell (@67BLADE) reported from Barlborough, England

    @virginmedia I finally got through to a real person via text today and booked a landline appointment, although It’s not the anytime plan that I wanted . Never had so much trouble switching provider. Almost not worth it.

  • Hi1mMark88
    Mark Hewitt (@Hi1mMark88) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia broadband service has dropped out in Sheffield (s5) any know issues or reasons why this has happened. Service checker isn’t giving any information

  • 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.

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

    @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

  • 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

    @virginmedia @virginmedia @O2 if you're going to sell merged packages to your customers then you really need to improve your joint customer service.. just batting me back to the other without an answer is simply unacceptable

  • rwgladwin

    @virginmedia were there issues in S9 around 1020 this morning?

    @calvg @virginmedia Thank you 🙏 Stop blaming us and be responsible for your crap connections

  • John_murphy1
    John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia No problem, and thank you for sorting it out quickly. May be worth making sure telephone staff tell customers about call out charges as I had no idea they applied in this situation.

  • ClaireWinslade
    Claire 💙 (@ClaireWinslade) reported from Sheffield, England

    Moved to @virginmedia on Monday and router didn’t come. Then when it came Wednesday the internet wouldn’t connect. After 7 phone calls and an engineer called out it’s still not working 😡 and it seems if you are on hold for too long they just cut you off. So frustrating

    @SarahLudford @virginmedia @O2 Yep…sadly the service has declined since the two companies merged. They blocked my account for weeks for ‘ security reasons’. ( I had changed pw & looking for new deals) No one seemed unable to unblock it. Took several phone calls/DM’s/ emails etc.

  • Dadcrusher
    Julian (@Dadcrusher) reported

    @virginmedia Customer service with Virgin is again a nightmare. Started an online conversation at 10am and haven’t from Mahir in over 30 minutes.Obviously they feel that my time doesn’t matter as much as theirs.

  • RosieLastOf6
    Rosie (@RosieLastOf6) reported

    @virginmedia virgin media app says service ok but still not showing tv. What’s wrong?

  • GrangeAdele
    Adele Grange (@GrangeAdele) reported

    @virginmedia @CLangley16 @virginmedia I’m the same, this has been on and off now for weeks! I pay a fortune each month and never get a week where there is no issue. I was supposed to get a discount before and it was never processed off of my monthly bill

  • HitmenHustlers
    HitmenAndHustlers (@HitmenHustlers) reported

    @virginmedia please can you contact me? I keep getting passed around by the automated phone line, every single day, my WiFi will go down, only for a minute or 2, but it is a MAJOR inconvenience when im working from home, and lose connection to clients.

    Lord Fauntleroy MP KC (@FauntleroyMp) reported

    @Mickskinz @DavidPNoble63 They will enforce it with isp's quite easily. Just fine virgin media if they fail to act on frequent ip address switching

  • oftenFrazzled
    Kate (@oftenFrazzled) reported

    @O2 signed up 2yr sim only Fri 12/06. received msg "my new number active" but I put in a pac code to keep my old number AND the new SIM hasn't arrived yet. Also I keep getting booted out the login page now of my virgin media account. Not impressed at all. Considering cancelling

    Darren Hayes (@darrenhayes1973) reported

    @virginmedia Disgrace of a company never been spoken to as rudely as I have been tonight by one of the call centres based oversees. 20 calls in less than 7 days and then rude to me because he did not get the answers he wanted!! Sort it out!!

    Today I have had telephone wars with E-on, Virgin Media, EE and UPS. I hate having to deal with call centres. They bring out the worst in me.
