    @virginmedia on hold for 40 mins so far just to get you to cancel a service I don't even want 🤬

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia How do I open a complaint then, because I’m still stuck on the phone with her and she is refusing to let me make my complaint.

  • 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?

  • 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.

    @virginmedia Third time it's been down today now. Yes completely down, we have no Internet at all. What other services do you mean? We only have broadband with you. Yes, I've booked but not until next week, we CAN NOT have this service for 3-5 days before someone comes out?!

  • mandybaps1 Amanda Brightmore (@mandybaps1) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia I've emailed MD and they called me within the hour and sorted my issue out within 10 minutes. You should be ashamed of yourselves

    @calvg @virginmedia Thank you 🙏 Stop blaming us and be responsible for your crap connections

  • RomegouxLouis Louis Romégoux (@RomegouxLouis) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia please sort the Sky Red button issue which is preventing Sheffield United fans subscribed to Virgin from experiencing the service they've paid for.

  • mandybaps1 Amanda Brightmore (@mandybaps1) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Useless you haven't addressed my points. I will go directly to the managing director Lutz Schueler. Really disappointed and I woukd have expected better considering I have been a loyal customer.

  • mandybaps1 Amanda Brightmore (@mandybaps1) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia No one has informed me of this, I feel I have been misold again very poor. No one mentioned this previously I have been told it was a new promotional that was added, so again alot of tosh. Does anyone know what they are doing at virgin.

  • 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

  • Sarah74863890 Sarah (@Sarah74863890) reported

    @virginmedia Service is active. The technician asked me to ring the service centre, who then arranged the senior engineer, but I cannot wait any longer for this to be resolved. This has been going on since 06/09/22.

  • davidaak1991 (Insert Name Here) (@davidaak1991) reported

    @virginmedia broadband really is the most useless piece of crap ever! Goes down at least once a day for no reason, every day. Always told to just reset the router…clearly there are bigger issues!

  • Anthonycooke360 Cooke (@Anthonycooke360) reported

    @virginmedia No it's not and because you don't offer two hour time slots I have to wait until next Saturday for another engineering. Seriously you need to sort your customer service out. Once this contract is over I'm leaving

  • yadavsaid gaurav yadav (@yadavsaid) reported

    @virginmedia Initially I got appointment, technician came and said they don’t have wire & reschedule. Then my rescheduled appointment was cancelled without informing me. And now each time I call, they give me a new excuse. Shortage of wire for an year is the lates. Help!

  • jonathancarnie Jon Carnie (@jonathancarnie) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, that shouldn't be a problem.

  • realjackoh187 Jack Kelly (@realjackoh187) reported from Widnes, England

    @virginmedia I'm checking online and it's saying there is an issue with the TV, but saying broadband is fine. I've had constant disconnections throughout the day for 2 weeks now. It works for a few minutes then goes off. What is going on?
