  • Mashcat Calming Chameleon (@Mashcat) reported from Sheffield, England

    @koffee_truffles @virginmedia I’ll try calling again tomorrow and go through to cancellations.. if they won’t sort I’ll leave .. I’ve only ever had them too - never used another provider 🙈

  • CEjottings Norman Perrin (@CEjottings) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Done that. Looks like the TiVo box the likely problem. Needs replacing. So how do i do that? Phone leads to online help: online leads nowhere helpful, for just replacing a TiVo box. Ideas?

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

    Recently renegotiated my contract with @virginmedia just received notification that they are billing me for 50% more than was agreed. Called them and they cannot explain why, and have registered my complaint and someone will call me at some point in the next 48 hours. Scandalous

  • 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.😔

  • mrriddlesworth Mr Riddlesworth (@mrriddlesworth) reported from Rotherham, England

    @virginmedia I test through a wired connection, i have already sent a complaint form with all the details on the online portal.

  • Mashcat Calming Chameleon (@Mashcat) reported from Sheffield, England

    @koffee_truffles @virginmedia It admits it’s not working .. says my coverage of a **** .. then offers to fix it for another £60/year .. same week they send me a letter to say my bill is increasing anyway .. clearly forgotten we’re in a pandemic!!!

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

    @virginmedia still not gettingg full speed for connection on internet, very slow, phone lines a joke still to get through - Covid as per usual - fed up of slow speeds constantly after new router!!! Please sort yourselves out!!!

  • ReeceBryan94 Reece Bryan (@ReeceBryan94) reported from Wombwell, England

    @virginmedia when are you going to provide a functional service? Having to constantly reboot your pile of **** “Superhub 3” multiple times a day because you’re saying that’s the fault... what exactly am I paying for? #Virginmediaisshite

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

    @virginmedia No it's always slow lately

  • AbigailBriggs_ Abigail Briggs (@AbigailBriggs_) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia The estimated fix time was 8pm last night, then 10pm, then 12am and now it is 4pm. Will it be fixed by this time, or will it just be put back again?

  • JohnLeesley john leesley (@JohnLeesley) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia appalling service virgin media! On 24/12 v6 box broke. So far, 4 telephone calls, 3 promises of calls back (not received), told new box posted to us but it wasn’t, engineer appointment cancelled by virgin with no explanation. Week later & still cant watch tv

  • ReeceBryan94 Reece Bryan (@ReeceBryan94) reported from Wombwell, England

    @virginmedia when are we going to finally have some functional WiFi service from yourself? 3/4 days constant issues... pathetic

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

    @virginmedia please please can someone help me. I left virgin in October and have had several calls to say I didn't ask to. Now they are threatening me with debt recovery. Is this correct

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

    @virginmedia Yes but can never get through via phone

  • ReeceBryan94 Reece Bryan (@ReeceBryan94) reported from Wombwell, England

    @virginmedia when are you going to start issuing people the Hub 4 as the SH3 is useless for delivering wifi. Doesn’t help that you seem to be constantly having issues and massive speed problems over the last month. Any chance of us actually getting a service that we pay for?!

  • Michaelh747 Michael Harrison (@Michaelh747) reported from Staveley, England

    @virginmedia what's the number I need to cancel the service? I'm so fed up at the moment

  • AbigailBriggs_ Abigail Briggs (@AbigailBriggs_) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia my 80yo Grandma has been without use of her phone for almost 24 hours. This has been reported and the automated message keeps saying will be resolved by a certain time, but that time keeps getting put back. Unable to speak to an actual person. Can you help?

  • Mashcat Calming Chameleon (@Mashcat) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Hi no - the link is broken and chat says up to 4 hour wait 🙈 .. please just want to order the booster please

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

    @virginmedia so. I left virgin media in October after 19 years, not that I wanted to. I just was fed up of new customers getting a better deal. Now I keep getting billed and its up to £150. How can I stop this. Been on the phone 20mins but had to put it down 😤😤😤

  • liaryredhead 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

    Virgin Media have got me over an absolute barrel 😟 my bill is about to go up by £25 a month because my new customer discount is running out but nobody else provides fibre in my area. Talk to me about Internet speeds. What should I be looking for as a minimum?...

  • richardjameson6 Richard Jameson (@richardjameson6) reported

    @virginmedia Your customer service for Virgin Mobile is utter rubbish. Avoid like the plague people.

  • SomeMightSay95 Mark (@SomeMightSay95) reported

    @virginmedia 25th Aug, that’s the next time I’m available . He should have come today, but it ended up getting cancelled, we’ll never booked your end.

  • yido23sc Sean Collins (@yido23sc) reported

    @virginmedia Looks like we can't even get this right. Would like to formally cancel

  • MaisieFennerx 𝐌𝐀𝐈𝐒. (@MaisieFennerx) reported

    Absolutely furious that @virginmedia make it so difficult to leave their services! Continually hung up on when being told I’m being transferred to a colleague. Urghhh don’t recommend - overcharged, hard to cancel, and poor customer service :( #virginmedia

  • Clairedxxxx 💎🍭💫Claire 💎🍭💫 (@Clairedxxxx) reported

    @virginmedia trying to make me make a payment BEFORE I speak to the manager & when I said no I want to speak to a manager first they said ok and put the phone down. Never known a company so bad in my life.

  • shorty_hg hannah (@shorty_hg) reported

    Virgin Media is literally the worst, why can't I just cancel online

  • RosYogaRos Rosalyn Griffith (@RosYogaRos) reported

    @virginmedia Hours ( all morning ) on chat bots and various help Systems & then Just to be returned to the Bot on WhatsApp messaging… NOT Acceptable Customer Service ! I am exasperated. Trying to book a home engineer visit
