    @virginmedia Shame your customer service agents on the phone don't seem to feel the same. You cancelled my TV & BB before agreed date, agreed to re-instate which turns out to be a lie as now refusing to unless I agree to a long term contract. Astonishing awful treatmeant

    @virginmedia My house requires the cable pulling in under the road, however you did know about this. My problem is I've been given 2 dates and I've used 2 holidays. 1st date engineer turned up but didn't do anything 2nd date didn't turn up at all. Useless!!

    @JonAshman2 @carmichaeltimo1 @gt2andy @virginmedia Yeah customer service is never an issue til ya need it , car insurance ,net, mobile phones , it's all good when it's good but goddamn terrible if ya trying to sort a problem 👍

  • bethanwoollvin Bethan (@bethanwoollvin) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia We logged our complaint with a senior manager with virgin business. They gave us this number.

  • KevinRenshaw5 Kevin Renshaw (@KevinRenshaw5) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia My concern is that you disconnected me on Saturday and 6 days later and about 5 hours of calls later and 3 times being promised it would back on. I STILL HAVE NO SERVICE! I am not concerned I am annoyed by your inability to act!

  • JohnLawArt John Law (@JohnLawArt) reported from Mexborough, England

    @DalGarcha @virginmedia We have had no, or hardly any internet for nearly two weeks. Pathetic 'service's.

  • JohnLawArt John Law (@JohnLawArt) reported from Mexborough, England

    @virginmedia Load of crap from robot telling us we have intermittent service. Probably to avoid payment

  • tomstanny Tom staniforth (@tomstanny) reported from Sheffield, England

    Twice now I've been let down by @virginmedia 2 holiday days taken and still no engineer has turned up despite receiving letters of install dates. Customer service didn't even seem to care #shocking 😡

  • Antoinne73 Vampire Bait (@Antoinne73) reported from Rotherham, England

    @virginmedia Nah - I’m not chasing anymore - 18/19years of loyalty and you treat me like shit - I’ll let my contract run down and join @skyuk or @bt_uk

  • tomstanny Tom staniforth (@tomstanny) reported from Sheffield, England

  • VickyLorych VickyL (@VickyLorych) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia I’ve been trying to get hold of you since you said you’re putting up my bill by 7.5% in COVID but you hung up on me before someone picked up and now your phone lines are down 😡

  • GreyOLady Jan (@GreyOLady) reported

    Interest rate cut again @santander, monthly cost up again £3.50 @virginmedia Cross enough cheap deal being offered to new customers, the old customers being penalised once more, not Good Enough! off to Customer Services!

  • crawshaw69 Tony C (@crawshaw69) reported

    @virginmedia Ok technical have told me they cannot authorise the 360 this needs to be done via CS!! They just put my back, sorry but I need to hang up 2 hours. With no replacement sorted!

  • BewitchedBB Clare Leybourne (@BewitchedBB) reported

    @virginmedia Ok, thank you for your help so far - it’s something at least. So just to clarify, there’s no actual customer service available at the moment - you’re relying on forums to do the work? I’m ok-ish with technology, but not everyone is. Even with the situation, that seems poor.

  • Yinkster Yinkster (@Yinkster) reported

    @funkomi @virginmedia Okay that's good, I hope that makes things better👍🏾. And yes absolutely, paying for a backup is not great on the wallet. But the bitter truth is technology will fail from time to time, so those of us who rely on it heavily, should include backups/alternatives in our "strategy"

  • StellaSadler Stella Sadler (@StellaSadler) reported

    @virginmedia There’s no issues in this area. It’s my wifi that’s rubbish, we’re getting right low speeds and should be having M200. I’m sick of it and always using 4G. I’m paying for a service and not getting it!! I’m going to leave when my contract is up!

  • Cantankerousuk micky (@Cantankerousuk) reported

    @virginmedia good day i have been trying to call your number 03454541111 and it says not possible to connect my call. Please help

  • clarewolfenden thegriffter (@clarewolfenden) reported

    @jenniseex @virginmedia They are really poor

  • delatrixx1 @_delatrixx (@delatrixx1) reported

    @virginmedia need to sort their callers out...rude and extremely unhelpful.

  • _Ljmog95 Ljmog95 (@_Ljmog95) reported

    Day 2 of arguing with @virginmedia to find out the damn cancellation fee. Its rediculas the levels they go to to not cancel an account. The desperacy is crazy. Just ******* tell me how much it is the cancel. Why is that so hard. Im told to call and its a ******* task and a half!
