  • maxinetennet74 Maxine Tennet (@maxinetennet74) reported from Walker Gate, England

    What will it take for @virginmedia to actually sort out an account after a bereavement??? 3 months later, endless calls and empty promises. Continued anxiety and distress for an elderly woman is not the bereavement service I’d expect. Appalling.

  • CazzaW CazzaW (@CazzaW) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Wakey wakey @virginmedia shoddy service not to update a LOT of the UK on broadband problems

  • pearceswan David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I spoke to them the other day they told me that you do not record any time when the broadband drops out only when a customer calls in so please can you get this sorted out thank you

  • pearceswan David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I don’t understand where you can see my personal information, it merely gives you, what broadband package I’m on what telephone service I’m on and watch TV service sign there are no account details whatsoever

  • pearceswan David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

  • didixon74 LadyDi (@didixon74) reported from Blyth, England

    @virginmedia In October agreed new contract, came to install last week got new router and have since cancelled the packages that was agreed. I am now been charged more and getting less services. Tried to resolve last week over the phone & not no further forward so just want to cancel now.

  • didixon74 LadyDi (@didixon74) reported from Blyth, England

    @virginmedia please can some one contact me about my unresolved complaint. Genuinely worst service I have aver received, want to cancel my contract as I have lost all confidence in your service. Over 4 hours on the phone in the last week and still no further forward. Thanks

  • TrevorRidley Trid (@TrevorRidley) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @Designer_Ross @SkyHelpTeam @virginmedia Yeah that’s the issue I’ve come across . Slow download speeds but always reported at just above the payment threshold. It’s got worse recently

  • PaulCraig24 Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia She has tried but every time they say they can’t help if she hasn’t got her password! Can I chat to someone about this as there are personal issues. I understand that this may be difficult as it is not my account. Thanks

    @virginmedia I’m having problems with my virgin box, all programmes I’ve recorded have all gone, this is the second time this has happened & sometimes a failed recording notice comes up. I’ve tried ringing but can not get through to anyone, it is becoming so annoying now

  • mickharkin68531 mick harkin (@mickharkin68531) reported

    @virginmedia @dalebhoy11 Where is the justification in a customer getting 60% reduction in their bills?

  • CallyRaven Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @virginmedia I seem to be the first one to report them, still saying intermittent problems in my area. Can't get to speak to anyone on phone, I rely on the Internet.

  • Andy_West14 Andy West (@Andy_West14) reported

    Thanks for the prompt (well actually no reply at all) @virginmedia your customer service skills are outstanding. Not!

  • Ands14 The Resistance ✊🏻✊🏽✊🏿 (@Ands14) reported

    @virginmedia Hello, now the issue is affecting my recordings and I’m getting a CS2200 error. Please can this be looked at asap. Thanks

  • acfwilson acfwilson (@acfwilson) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I've sent you a Direct Message but you haven't responded to it. Looking through your T.L it seems I'm not the only one with issues and complaints.

  • CallyRaven Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @virginmedia And our Internet is down again this morning! So because its intermittent we don't get compensation, tried to call, can't get through (have to do it on mobile, our 'landline' is now internet reliant!)

  • GioMarron76 Gio Marron (@GioMarron76) reported

    Anyone else in #WestLothian lost their @virginmedia internet? Mine crashed hours ago & every ‘solution’, none of which work, are so far removed from each other, it feels like guesswork It’s either: Working perfectly Has minor issues Call an engineer IT’S TOO LATE! WE’RE DOOMED

  • JoLockett11 itsonlyme (@JoLockett11) reported

    @virginmedia Frustrating is an understatement. We've had no tv or Internet since last night , now tge times changed to 11pm. Big difference from 2pm . Wish I could cancel that's for sure

  • Ands14 The Resistance ✊🏻✊🏽✊🏿 (@Ands14) reported

    @virginmedia @NatGeoUK Before you promote your services, can you fix the issue in SN8 where I can’t access any of the apps on the Virgin Media TV site. This is the second day and I’m paying for half a service
