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

    @virginmedia I spoke to an advisor called Gillian from Sheffield and she escalated my numerous complaints on Saturday. Promised a manager call crack but I got nothing . It’s getting to the stage that the best course of action would be to cancel the lot but that won’t get my landline back

  • 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.

  • 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?

    @virginmedia what's the issue with answering a call? Line went dead, my mum can't receive incoming texts and is due an upgrade. Your customer service is terrible, God only knows what will happen when I call for TV

  • pidgpie
    Chris,,,, (@pidgpie) 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.

  • giinagii
    GiinaGii 🐱🌿 (@giinagii) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia So you're telling me to be without stable /any Internet for at least 3-5 days and that is okay and acceptable? No. We work from home. You need to fix this.

  • 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

  • TWO_Librans
    Phil J (@TWO_Librans) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Just want to lower my bill or cancel

  • 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

  • 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

  • whittickdiver
    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!

  • 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!!!

  • Ray_Lennox
    Tom Clark (@Ray_Lennox) reported from Sheffield, England

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

    Dad got rushed to hospital still in and @O2 connection is still not working in my house or mums @virginmedia mobile same problem (according to there test it’s fine) well try using it here especially when a loved one is ill and you can’t even connect a phone call &it’s a main road

  • 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?!

  • andyksheffield
    Andy Kershaw Media 🎙 (@andyksheffield) reported from Sheffield, England

    @StueyDay @virginmedia @lionsgateplusuk The service is awful and customers find it too hard to get a prompt response. Last time this happened it took at least 8-10 emails before they got past the automated letter asking me to switch off, reboot and check all the connections.

    @CheekyVic @virginmedia They r all the same. Was with Sky for 25 years now with Virgin. Not the best customer support

  • SharonWill65057
    Sharon Williams (@SharonWill65057) reported

    Tired of paying for multiple subscriptions like Sky, BT Sport, Virgin Media, Now TV, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Apple TV+? I have got the solution. This IPTV @8K_Best_IPTV53 offers: • 300,000+ live channels • 65,000+ VODs • PPV events • Netflix • 78,000+ movies

  • f1blag
    F1blag (@f1blag) reported

    @MelJanie @virginmedia Virgin Media are up there for any worst customer service award! They took 3 weeks to restore our connection, promised us compensation (promises we were able to obtain a recording of), refused to pay that compensation and then fought us every step of the way. Dreadful.

  • ROCKYDENNlS
    Rocky Dennis (@ROCKYDENNlS) reported

    @CheekyVic @virginmedia The worst

  • Pekalton
    Pekalton (@Pekalton) reported

    @ConorPDunne I agree Connor. It’s time for a complete change of direction for RTÉ. I’ve lost interest in the LLS and RoT. I get RoT brings tourism to Kerry but it’s time for a change. RTÉ is still living in the times gone past. What exactly are we paying TV licence for? Virgin Media is as bad

  • KayApex673
    Kay Apex 🇬🇧 (@KayApex673) reported

    @virginmedia @YussellaJoyce Virgin media come n fix what your unqualified engineer damaged at my property 2months now and you keep playing me around

  • Munro78
    John Munro (@Munro78) reported

    @virginmedia Got an email saying my contract expires soon. Taking my payments from £73.50 to £137.50 - I can’t seem to find any new deals that would bring my payments down to what my original contract was. Unless I become a new member and you charge £49.99. This can’t be right?

  • scouse9000
    Darren (Dazza) (@scouse9000) reported

    @CheekyVic @virginmedia Yes I would totally agree with that! I had to get in touch with one of the directors to sort my account out! She waved the massive bill if I dropped my complaint!! We had closed the account 5 months before that! Shocking customer service!!

  • montesdeocapj
    Pedro Montes de Oca (@montesdeocapj) reported

    I need a lawyer or a support group to help me file a complaint against Virgin @virginmedia regarding issues with their internet service.
