    Moved from @skytv to @virginmedia after 8 years and being a VIP customer with Sky. Poor service and a huge increase in price. Lost a longstanding customer. Now to try Virgin Media and see how this goes.

  • seanyseanysaeny Flying Officer O’Connor🇬🇧 (@seanyseanysaeny) reported from Silsden, England

    @virginmedia Yes, it’s rubbish. The service you provide is really poor. All you ever get told to do is switch of and reboot. Never works.

  • liquidborn liquidBorn (@liquidborn) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia broadband has just gone down in BB12, I work completely from home so this is extremely frustrating for me. Please help. Router has been restarted twice.

  • saeedahmed0 Saeed Uchiha (@saeedahmed0) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia your internet is awful! I’m not paying for a black box that flashes lights. Fix up

  • Salma_abdx Salma Khan (@Salma_abdx) reported from Great Harwood, England

    @virginmedia They have improved but this is a regular issue now. This should be looked into, especially with the prices you charge for the services.

  • ryanchapmanx RC (@ryanchapmanx) reported from Blackburn, England

    @geewelchx @virginmedia Mate I was on phone for a hour told them to shove their internet up their ass and going elsewhere Lmao their customer service is shocking so I did it back

  • SharonBradbury Sharon Bradbury (@SharonBradbury) reported from Haworth, England

    @virginmedia you have an exposed wire that goes down the side of my house and across my back garden so you’re able to provide a service to some houses below. I can’t find any written consent from the previous owners of the house. Major work will be starting soon...

  • jademelia99 Jade (@jademelia99) reported from Cowling, England

    Trying to cancel my @virginmedia contract yet no one will answer the phone or the online chat service. Such bad customer service

  • seanyseanysaeny Flying Officer O’Connor🇬🇧 (@seanyseanysaeny) reported from Silsden, England

    @SkyHelpTeam @SkyUK @virginmedia are quick enough to take your money but not so quick to help out when things go wrong...

  • btownofficial_ officialBtown (@btownofficial_) reported from Rawtenstall, England

    @virginmedia why is it taking so long to sort out the fifa issue it’s *************** everyone who are on VM and want to play futchamps why can’t you give us a time scale on when it should be ready @NepentheZ @Itshaber @Marshall89HD

  • SharonBradbury Sharon Bradbury (@SharonBradbury) reported from Haworth, England

    @virginmedia We are a customer but this particular cabling just services the houses below.

  • ClaretNick Nick (@ClaretNick) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia broadband down AGAIN until 3pm today, means ill be working all evening to make up for not being able to do things today!

  • EmilyMc767 Emily (@EmilyMc767) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia It’s a media account, but it was more about the quality of the call. It’s not the way to treat a customer. Thanks

  • mrtariqmahmood Tariq Mahmood (@mrtariqmahmood) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia lnternet very intermittent. Router fault. But you won't send replacement so I am changing to Vodafone. Sick to death of the awful service I get from Virginmedia.

  • wesleyjodell Wes Odell (@wesleyjodell) reported from Rawtenstall, England

    @PaddyTheBaddy @virginmedia Agreed. It’s terrible. Il be changing when my contract is up

  • ClaretNick Nick (@ClaretNick) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia Local fault and down until approx 3pm. It happens too often and its a nightmare for home workers like me.

  • SamMcCartney Sam McCartney (@SamMcCartney) reported from Rawtenstall, England

    @Craig273 @virginmedia No. I just want to cancel sky sports as for £31.75 a month I don’t get the use out of it. I was lied to saying it would affect my package discount. I already get BT sport for free and if Amazon will be streaming more it’s pointless

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • GoMcMahon #DocMartin (@GoMcMahon) reported

    @virginmedia All OK, and sorted, I finally spoke to a nice guy in Bangalore that was able to get right to the issue without the usual scripted nonsense.

  • Vivsnewtwits Vivi H (@Vivsnewtwits) reported

    @wallaceme @virginmedia Wait until you cancel. Nobody answers, you can't email. If you write, they treat it as complaint. Once acknowledged, notice period starts from when they deign to action it, weeks after letter. All this despite clear guidance from Ofcom that cancelling MUST be as easy as joining.

  • EelesWasTaken Anthony Eeles (@EelesWasTaken) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve spoken to 3 separate customer service agents. All are telling me the same: In effect that VM think it’s reasonable to leave an entire area (CR5) with intermittent/failed connectivity from 6/2 to 22/2. Complaint ref: C160222522.

  • jbcaravans01 jbcaravanservices (@jbcaravans01) reported

    If there is any way @virginmedia can improve your service it's to STOP CALLING ME CONSTANTLY. There are no issues with my account, but at renewal I will reconsider because of your constant harrasment

  • BoabieSinclair Ewan Cook (@BoabieSinclair) reported

    @Katy1207L @virginmedia At least they are consistently awful

  • supacd Suz (@supacd) reported

    @virginmedia Same issue today. Spoke to unhelpful cases Zara who could only offer engineer appt on Friday. I asked to be put on a cancellation list was told no. Then spoke to technician Sagar who said he would get his supervisor to call me for appt tomorrow. Now have text appt on Fri 😡

  • went57 mick b (@went57) reported

    @virginmedia Salesman came to door,everything went to plan until I just discovered I'm still paying for BT aswell,which I've now had to cancel myself.

  • StanFMontgomery Stanley F Montgomery (@StanFMontgomery) reported

    @virginmedia Not really the purpose of the message is to highlight what terrible customer service your company provide

  • shmooza bobbyb (@shmooza) reported

    @BritishGas I called Homecare 4 to complain about service and a repair. I was holding and spoke in total for 90 minutes. Now @virginmedia are charging me for a call that lasted over 1 hour so it's £4.95+VAT. British Gas so annoyingly hopeless!

  • went57 mick b (@went57) reported

    @virginmedia They never did that and your salesman said virgin would deal with it all,obviously never happened.
