    @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 😤😤😤

  • 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!!!

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

  • Yorkie_Jock Derek Libberton 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Yorkie_Jock) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia hello, we had a letter saying work would be carried out on broadband 23rd Oct, my partner is at home today booked into an NHS online training course and has no service. Called cust svcs, msg says work being carried out today. Why no notification?

  • SammyJT77 Samantha Harrison (@SammyJT77) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia how do you not have an email address for customer service? You are asking that we don’t call unless it’s urgent but then all other options (text bot in particular) are not fit for purpose.

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

    @virginmedia Well it keeps cutting out and I still haven't had a response about my broken network port on the router. I'm just stuck

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

    @virginmedia Rung 151 before. Just done again. Same recorded message. No help whatsoever. How about suspending my monthly charge until you sort out the problem?

  • 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?

  • Saphysaft Saphy (@Saphysaft) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia could somebody help pleas? I have a question about a broadband package and installation that no FAQ or community question has answered (that I could find) and there is no phone number or live chat. Thanks in advance :)

  • 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?

  • 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

  • JordRd Jordan Reid (@JordRd) reported from Sheffield, England

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

  • JordRd Jordan Reid (@JordRd) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia this service is abysmal.. no one answering calls again, no live chat, how can I fix my problem if no one is available to talk to. We’ve been having issues since 26/10/20.. absolutely crap. @SkyUK we’re on our way

  • 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 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 🙈

  • 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?

  • JordRd Jordan Reid (@JordRd) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia broadband been down for over 2 weeks. Working intermittently. Phoned on numerous occasions, on hold for over an hour each time. Tried the messaging service. Respond only when I’m at work. Abysmal service/provider. My wife works from home and is having to us hotspot

  • dan_saaan 🅳🅰🅽 (@dan_saaan) reported

    @virginmedia Can I direct message you the issue, I'd rather not broadcast it over twitter

  • dolphin_tracey Tracey (@dolphin_tracey) reported

    @virginmedia Yes. My broadband is shocking. I have to turn it off on my phone to be able to gain access to the internet. My customer number isn’t recognised so I haven’t been able to set up an account but I cannot get to talk to anyone to sort things out. Please can you help?

  • BigHandLeon BigHand (@BigHandLeon) reported

    @virginmedia I have been on a WhatsApp conversation since 10:15 today and getting passed around and left waiting. This is causing me unnecessary stress and impacting on my poor health. It’s disgusting!

  • SteffanDiehl steffan diehl (@SteffanDiehl) reported

    @virginmedia There is no problem with the Internet as I have it hardwired into my games console and that works perfectly. The problem is the WiFi keeps dropping out. I could be sat right beside the router and it still drops out

  • Gary7dayz Gary Clark (@Gary7dayz) reported

    @virginmedia I can, however if it's the same people I spoke to yesterday I have zero faith in getting anything accomplished as they have again proved themself incompetent. I can't see myself being a Virgin customer again the customer service has been shocking since day 1.

  • Mr_Gadd_ Mr_Gadd_ (@Mr_Gadd_) reported

    @virginmedia Landline not working. No dial tone. Can’t call out, nobody can call in. Service status says phone is fine. What do I do? I’ve unplugged phone line and tried it again but nothing.

  • rickpower Rick Power (@rickpower) reported

    @virginmedia Yes it doesn’t fix it. The quality has been toned down sadly for VM customers.

  • talktotavia Tavia (@talktotavia) reported

    @virginmedia No, I wasn’t. I eventually got sick of being passed around and put on hold, and hung up. But this was years ago, and as a result of the terrible customer service I switched to Sky and haven’t had a reason to complain since.

  • radhihmad satoru (@radhihmad) reported

    @virginmedia the page gives a message that it cant check the status for me the past few days.However when i used it when my problem firsr started it did say that I had intermittent connections
