Andrew Poppleton 💙 (@popsgolf) reported from Wentworth, England@O2PriorityUK I’m struggling to connect with app. I’m a @virginmedia account holder. Initial you sent me a code but via my mobile. Now my phone number is placed in the box it doesn’t recognise it. Help?
-
Angelina Perrett (@liaryredhead) reported from Sheffield, England@virginmedia - 3 scam phone calls this morning from a company impersonating Virgin Media- by the third time they were just plan rude when I would not respond
-
Barry Wilkinson (@millersfm2011) reported from Conisbrough, England@virginmedia Well this is a cracking start. A call back tomorrow rescues the situation. Been a virgin customer since broadband came along. Fingers crossed.
-
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?
-
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.
-
Sam Millington (@cranworth791) reported from Rawmarsh, England@virginmedia Yeah that’s fine, or just a phone number / person to deal with? It’s my parents business and they have their property engineers coming out to view the issue on Monday. I assume they will be in touch themselves regarding the issues. Luckily it’s just rain water, and not sewage.

adam (@Adz_lufc) reported from Wentworth, England@virginmedia your chat bot is broken, how hard it is yo actually speak yo someone who knows what they are talking about
-
Sam Watts (@SamWatt30745054) reported from Barnsley, England@virginmedia I’ve run test after test, at least 5-6 outages a month for last 2 years. Horrendous service and this is the final straw unless you offer me a refund of say £20 a month for last two years, if not I’m going BT and a dodgy box from Mad Frank in pub
-
Andrew Lee (@goonie2008) reported from Sheffield, England@virginmedia @O2 Its definitely you lot Robin as your broadband service was a disgrace when I moved to you and I had to pay out for cancelling contract early. If this is what’s to come O2 then you will a customer of over 15 years.
-
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 .
-
paul whittick (@whittickdiver) reported from Sprotbrough, England@virginmedia after five years of custom you would rather me terminate my contract that provide me with the new router that you promised me as part of my new deal! Diabolical service!
-
lettiebella🦉🇬🇧 (@lettielou05) reported from Sheffield, England@virginmedia first day of your internet snd massive regrets ! Can I cancel ? Cutting out constantly 😫
-
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
-
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?!

stephen lane (@ppglane) reported@waterjetcut @MichelleBeckett @virginmedia Virgin just got a £28 million fine because they knowingly didn't cancel contracts .
-
ten street KINGO👽 (@kwestfanclub) reported@Stsantek @virginmedia Hello, i work in the industry, as bad as Virgin are, and they are bad, the responsibility is the EE salesmen who placed the order without knowing your termination charge, whenever signing up i check for things like this so things like this dont happen.
-
MR COOL (@Lifeline04India) reported@virginmedia Team I am waiting for 5 days it’s still the same. Can u help me to fix the issue? I don’t know if it’s connected to router.

-
Christine💙 (@jaluch) reported@virginmedia I am waiting for a phone call from your rep. Will contact you if problem not solved, so far not happy with the response with your service
-
Flaitheas 🇮🇪 (@M4817211887561) reported@EoinLenihan Those who provide cover for evil, are evil. I include the dangerous fifth columnists in RTE, Virgin Media and the newspapers in that cohort. They must all be held to account, they must all pay for the terrible terrible damage they are willfully doing.
-
SJL (@lambypies) reported@Stsantek @virginmedia Yeap, happened to me too. I asked on the phone if there was any evidence of this "Contract" The call handler said point blank it didn't matter. The really annoying thing is the actual broadband is really good. Fast, reliable and only the odd day down for maintenance.
-
unia (@unia_x) reported@Stsantek @virginmedia Hartlepool, Swindon, Reading - 3 places where I know for a fact a VM connection has packet loss. They’re selling a broken service and are getting away with it.
-
Claire Shaw (@clairebaigent) reported@virginmedia I will not be sending you a private message because despite repeated calls over the past 2 years you have done nothing to help or sort it out. You’re currently charging a 90 yr old man £160 for services he doesn’t use, so please don’t patronise me.
-
JS. (@ExCathedra44) reported@virginmedia I have just installed your 360 platform. Got it working but starting this AM the set top boxes ( I have 2)do not switch on automatically and show a No signal sign.Been on to your help line for hours as thought it might be software upgrade. Manual no use.
