-
Claire 💙 (@ClaireWinslade) reported from Sheffield, EnglandMoved 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
-
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.
-
Victims Voice (@victimsvoice73) reported from Sheffield, EnglandAnyone recommend a phone network been with @O2 for years and since it merged with @virginmedia it’s shocking. When I went on holiday before I’d never had problems this year wouldn’t let me go my own internet & here signal keeps going for phoning not to mention rise in scam calls
-

Callum 🏳️🌈 🔴⚪⚫ 🔰 (@Callum_SEND) reported from Brampton Bierlow, England@virginmedia I appreciate you trying to help. The issue is with the virgin contract being 18 months and the "new" o2 deal being 24 months and how this would impact as I looked to renegotiate in 18 months
-
Rt. Hon Annie (@AnnielizzieSten) reported from Sheffield, England@PaulbernalUK @virginmedia I can’t help with that. Good luck.
-

-
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

Alison Pearson (@pearson_alison) reported from Sheffield, England@virginmedia why is the red button not working I've paid for this service

Paul David Phillips (@paul_phillips83) reported from Barnsley, England@virginmedia been on hold 15 minutes your agent been back to me yet again same telling me I have to pay extra why do virgin think that if you charge extra this will fix an issue #badcustomerservice actually get it right first time to stop repeat calls

-
lettiebella🦉🇬🇧 (@lettielou05) reported from Sheffield, England@virginmedia first day of your internet snd massive regrets ! Can I cancel ? Cutting out constantly 😫
-
Anita Whittaker (@summitsleap) reported from Conisbrough, EnglandIf you are going to cancel a contract and move to a new provider, don't rely on them taking action from your phone request. They can always say you didn't call then continue to charge for something more expensive, @virginmedia will then pass you to debt collection companies.😔
-
Diane Caira (@diddles1970) reported from Sheffield, England@virginmedia Do you have a business outage in S8? Can't get through to anyone. Wondering whether to send everyone home?
-
Amy 🦉 (@Amy_1867) reported from Sheffield, England@virginmedia whenever I’m on zoom upstairs and away from my route my wifi always seems to drop out. It’s always says my internet connection is unstable. I’ve restarted router etc is there anything else I can do to boost it
-
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!!!
-

-
Tom Quante (@TomQuante) reported@virginmedia You won't answer your phone (apparently this is a tactic you use..?) and I am not paying my increased bill. Cancelled my DD with you so I will let you chase me instead. Your customer service is still terrible
-
Karl Dyer (@KarlDyer15) reportedTo work for @virginmedia you don’t need a brain cell, maybe the worst company in the UK I’ve ever had the displeasure of dealing with. Avoid them at all costs
-
Stephen Old #FBPE (@StephenOld) reported@virginmedia Do something about your useless Customer Service. You used to have shops and phone lines so that I could taslkd to a real person. Your automated systems have always been uselss and now you want me to send you an audio or a video message, neither of which works.
-
Sam Sheehan (@SamanthaJane_H) reported@virginmedia I have messaged. I have taken days off on multiple occasions to wait in for engineers to attend. I was assured that due to external works I would not need to be in today, however the issue STILL has not been fixed despite assurances it would be sorted.
-
Anthaily (@AntimagicBones) reported"Hey, the wi-fi is down?" "Uhhh... oh, yeah; Sara said something about turning our Virgin Media into problematic media." "Oh, God."
-
Eternal Elneny (@eternalelneny) reported@virginmedia With all due respect, the engineers have been there all day, I saw two of them having a 40 minute lunch break at 10am at Greggs. Can you push these engineers to get this completed today? Compensation isn’t a valid response to not being able to work - ridiculous service
-
Kate and her girls (@kateandhergirls) reported@virginmedia Your chat colleague already looked into it and was incredibly rude and basically said tough you’re an existing customer on a contract and we don’t help our loyal customers, just new ones 🙄
-
Clare B (@Gagabids) reportedWe've had no Prime for 3 days, what is the issue? @virginmedia
-
pat (@wfc2000uk) reported@LutzSchueler @virginmedia of urgency, it’s happened quite a few times over last few years, I been a customer for 20 years now. Your customer service said need to £700, cancellation fee. Which I’m not willing to pay. I look forward to your reply.
-
Paul Tee (@Nokkapie) reportedYes @virginmedia I love being charged more than the contract I agreed! I also love being ignored when making a formal complaint. Defo won be renewing another contract. Awful behaviour from a business ive used for 20 years!
