    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

    @virginmedia hi guys, I’ve been without TV services for over two weeks now. Every attempt to@reach you has me going around in circles. Tried the app. Doesn’t recognise my email, and doesn’t recognise my acct no + area ref. Please help. Can I talk to someone?!!

    @virginmedia not good when my 82yr old mum was left with no phone service so no health emergency service and city wide alarm for the last 2 days.... not good enough !!!!

    Thomas Foster (@Sedontane) reported from Newbold, England

    @nickkzie @scazz786 @virginmedia I have their business broadband, it's been awful. I then pulled the Internet cable out of the modem and fell back on the 4G backup on my plan. Fixed. I'll plug the cable back in tomorrow and get my speed back.

  • 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.

    @virginmedia Well this is a cracking start. A call back tomorrow rescues the situation. Been a virgin customer since broadband came along. Fingers crossed.

    @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

    @virginmedia how do we get the new wifi extender pods or a new Virgin Hub? Our wifi signal and speed changes dramatically between the front and back of the house, the coverage is dreadful

  • HarlamTK
    Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported from Wombwell, England

    @virginmedia I’m trying to resolve an issue with your collections team regarding an incorrect default and because I no longer bank with the same account and do not have those details, they won’t talk to me, yet they are happy to just take money off me without telling me why. It’s disgusting

  • BMiller36990477
    -BMiller- (@BMiller36990477) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Sure, office this morning at about 8am. No service and Internet access by 9.30M and popped back late morning and still nothing around 10.45am. So finished my admin at home with my own broadband connection. Didn't call or raise the issue as its a pointless exercise. Cheers

  • scoobiesue82
    Suz (@scoobiesue82) reported

    @virginmedia The big bang theory on TLC suddenly has audio description even though it’s turned off on the box setting. Only every episode of this show nothing else on TLC or any other channel. It’s pretty annoying as it’s my go to channel between shows. Any idea why/how to fix?

  • manestheman
    Darwin’s Chaos Theory (@manestheman) reported

    @Afcgunner_1886 @virginmedia Even the box doesn’t want to watch any more of your teams awful football

  • mec337

    @virginmedia why am I paying for a service every time I want to use it, it never works. Have been with you 23 years - I’m done

  • muffy_merkin
    muffy_merkin (@muffy_merkin) reported

    @MrBenGrant @virginmedia Ditch them, I did last year. Switched to community fibre, borrowed my mates apple box and now I pay £19 a month instead of the £95 Virgin was going to charge. They even make cancelling tortuous and intrusive. Horrible company with horrible customer service.

  • Hoggus17
    Hoggus (@Hoggus17) reported

    @Afcgunner_1886 @virginmedia Is your Virgin box flashing green and not working? I’ve been having issues since 4:30pm yesterday and want to know if it’s us or not

  • _inexcelsisdeo
    Stevy Martin (@_inexcelsisdeo) reported

    @virginmedia intermittent signal in the area of ML11 for days on end… service status now saying nothing but the problems still there! When’s it getting fixed?

  • DaveWW1877
    Dave (@DaveWW1877) reported

    @virginmedia Complete joke of a company, ongoing complaint since the 30th March Promised a Backs transfer for the compensation, chasing for over a month only to be told Backs not working, but the best is cheque refund posted today please allow 45 days for delivery. 🐌 Mail Joke

    @virginmedia Thank you but a lovely lady on your customer service spent 40 minutes to fix it for me.

    Mikey Molfessis (@mikey_mol) reported

    @virginmedia if your technicians cannot fix a problem in 4 weeks and I get no refund and your status update says everything is fine, but multiple people in the area are affected, do me a favour and stop calling me to sell me additional services. Please.
