  • AndrewKerrison6 Andrew Kerrison (@AndrewKerrison6) reported from Rotherham, England

    @virginmedia I tried to report a problem. The advisor was only interested in selling me a upgraded package. Miss selling packages to customers is not good practice

  • lettielou05 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 .

  • VanceBulla V-Bull (@VanceBulla) reported from Brampton Bierlow, England

    @virginmedia Faceless customer service. Can’t live chat, can’t chat to anyone on the phone. All they want to do is send you a text or a link to their website. Poor. What am I paying for? Certainly isn’t customer service

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

    That’s it after years of being with @O2 I nolonger trust you &neither can my parents on @virginmedia nextdoormy dad 79 yesterday &myself need a working phone no signal, calls when there is a signal ( although) notstrong dropping Medical assistance needed earlier &again no signal

  • lettielou05 lettiebella🦉🇬🇧 (@lettielou05) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia very unhappy failed install and had no service since Saturday and I'm within my 14 days to cancel yet your staff don't understand this and want to charge me for a fault call !! When do you become so crap !!!

  • Helen_Claire71 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.

  • AndrewKerrison6 Andrew Kerrison (@AndrewKerrison6) reported from Rotherham, England

    @virginmedia To box not working. Got it sorted now but not happy with been miss sold a package I didn't need then had to waste more time on the phone to cancel it

  • DeborahTaylor3 Debbie 💜 🦋🦉 (@DeborahTaylor3) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia I hung up the call, rang back and spoke with a lovely man. Reset my email, password and answered all my quedtions. All the men are when you call, the female was awful. But thank you for the response

  • tevowl9 Adam (@tevowl9) reported from Brinsworth, England

    @virginmedia on the phone for 30 minutes, WhatsApp message and technical support still not sorting us out! Oh but we can double what we pay and get a new hub!! New customers get it for £25

  • SamWatt30745054 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

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

    @virginmedia Yes both mum n dad are virgin and we’re still getting no signal

  • HeliconGlasgow Helicon (@HeliconGlasgow) reported

    The name @virginmedia makes sense now. As their customer, you’re the only one getting ******. Unfit for purpose wifi. Can’t get a reply online to get an engineer out. Again. Costing me money and business every single day. Worst product and service I’ve ever experienced.

  • tbyrne67 Teresa Zerafa Byrne (@tbyrne67) reported

    Virgin broadband and tv suddenly down. Is there a problem in West London @virginmedia ?

  • Suptasree Suptasree Roy (@Suptasree) reported

    @tbyrne67 @virginmedia There’s a fault in the area. I have the same problem in w3.

  • Pimpurilla1 Pimpurilla (@Pimpurilla1) reported

    @virginmedia @ShotByLucy I'm having the same issue! Tried troubleshooting, turning the wifi off and on and still nothing!! Very frustrating, I need to work..

  • Haddy51 Sarah Haddock (@Haddy51) reported

    @virginmedia Yes both the internet & tv. Now telling me I have connection issues. Would this be due to the phone line still having issues ?

  • ShotByLucy ShotByLucy® 🇬🇧 (@ShotByLucy) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve just done that & it still isn’t working. I’ve also just noticed that the estimated fix time says by 18.00 so I guess I’ll have to wait & see what happens. Thanks for your help.

  • JollyMiser Andy (@JollyMiser) reported

    @virginmedia No. It didn’t. It was crap

  • Haddy51 Sarah Haddock (@Haddy51) reported

    @virginmedia I'm not the account holder so can't. But your service status is useless & all.

  • danielshone Daniel Shone (@danielshone) reported

    @virginmedia You have 1 more chance. Ive had a message to say the local issue is fixed, my issue isnt. You owe me a deadlock by post, promised today, it's not arrived. Pls get the English guy that called me last or his manager to call me tomorrow 5th Nov or I'm going to @Ofcom and @CISASUK

  • lxgan18 😬 (@lxgan18) reported
