    @virginmedia Shame your customer service doesn't have a little more oomph.

  • Formally_Gill
    Just Gill (@Formally_Gill) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia If not resolved in a reasonable time frame I will cancel and not pay any cancellation fees as the sale was misleadingly sold

  • Formally_Gill
    Just Gill (@Formally_Gill) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia Hello, it's it relation to a package, phone, TV and broadband. I have received no communication what so ever on relation to this since logging the complaint.

  • Benjiffy
    Benjamin Clarkson (@Benjiffy) reported from Stainton and Thornton, England

    So @virginmedia offer 3x the broadband speed for new customers for the same price I've paid for a year, but offer me the same bundle I've had for a year for £5 more, or an extra £23 for the new customer one. Next company to put fibre in my area has a new customer waiting.

    @virginmedia Issues described nothing to do with my problem. TV goes off after 20 mins. Sound only. New HDMI lead did not solve problem was told to ring back just cannot get anyone to speak to. Can’t watch TV over a week now. Not good

  • Formally_Gill
    Just Gill (@Formally_Gill) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia Just raised a new complaint via the website

  • Formally_Gill
    Just Gill (@Formally_Gill) reported from New Marske, England

    @virginmedia yet to be contacted regarding a complaint I made 2 weeks ago. Didn't get the he complaint reference because the women was rude, the second person I spoke to assured me it had been logged and to allow a few days for it to be looked into.

    @Monster_minder @virginmedia That's becos the tivo box is a piece of shit

  • alcampion
    alan (@alcampion) reported from Stillington, England

    @virginmedia it’s slightly better now but these issues keep a curing now and then but nothing gets done about it I rang about a month ago with same problem so you’re team said they will give a reduction in my bill the following month but that never happened so I’m done with you.

  • Formally_Gill
    Just Gill (@Formally_Gill) reported from New Marske, England

    @virginmedia Absolute joke, basically been told to get stuffed because they have no evidence of the call and offered £10 after being patronised again. Want to cancel, can't unless I pay over £200. Ombudsman it is then.

  • Formally_Gill
    Just Gill (@Formally_Gill) reported from New Marske, England

    @virginmedia Complaint has been raised as the billing team is rude and I have been lied to. They have said I only get the credit if it is done online, this is not what I was told on the telephone. Misleading tactics used to sell! Not happy, if not resolved both accounts will be cancelled!

  • simonmp68
    SimonMorrisonPeacock (@simonmp68) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @RacingTV @EpsomRacecourse Would love to but you never do offers for virgin media and althyquality is good on phone/I-pad not the same as watching on tv. Please please do this on virgin media too 🙏🙏

  • simonmp68
    SimonMorrisonPeacock (@simonmp68) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia I’ve been trying for a week now to get an issue sorted with my TV. Keep getting cut off or not able to get through. Tried e-mail no reply I am now very unhappy,box keeps going sound only every 20 mins. Done all the checks says nothing wrong! Clearly!

  • beck5ter
    Jason N Beck (@beck5ter) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @bt_uk I certainly will, as no matter how many phone calls to @virgin nothing improves, my kids have to use data on their telephones, Virgin Media's Wi-Fi and internet is terrible @richardbranson

  • AmyIrving

    Loving the customer service @virginmedia today- no fuss or hassle and the man I spoke to saved me money off my monthly bills thank you!

  • Formally_Gill
    Just Gill (@Formally_Gill) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia It's not a service issue. It's never worked. The phone line doesnt appear to be activated

  • beck5ter
    Jason N Beck (@beck5ter) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia It is a constant problem, mobile telephones say they are connected but arent, firesticks dip in and out, Alexa loses connection, ring door bell only 10ft away has very poor connection, it's been poor for a while each time I ring. I am told it will be fixed and it never is

  • gaussey
    𝙼𝚒𝚌𝚑𝚊𝚎𝚕 (@gaussey) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia it’s a terrible state of affairs when you have to be told by an engineer there’s been an area fault for two weeks and you don’t know what is causing it or how to fix it.

  • PeteYourDoom
    Peter (@PeteYourDoom) reported from Hartlepool, England

    @virginmedia Wired is fine. Wifi is fine but degrades on the first floor. Never used to be bad so wondering if faulty hub 3 or software change

  • tastyparmo
    tastyparmo (@tastyparmo) reported from Nunthorpe, England

    @virginmedia very disappointed in the mobile outage today. I’ve actually got on with doing some work in the office instead of pissing about on my phone. It’s really not on.

    Andy ✈ (@windowseatprfrd) reported

    @VirginMediaIE Hey Virgin Media - I'm trying to cancel (I'm moving house and it's just cheaper to sign up from scratch, sorry). I called but the wait time is a scandal, so I sent an e-mail to cancel@ (as your help page suggests). Should I expect a response or is that it done?

    @virginmedia is there a problem with the Internet? I keep getting kicked off the Internet & it's saying no Internet connection even though I have.

    @purplescroll @virginmedia @giffgaff I have had similar issues since March. Slowdowns when the connection appears to be there normally but the bandwidth, specifically upload speed, is just non existent. Having to hotspot often just to keep working.

  • karlim00
    Karlim00 (@karlim00) reported

    @virginmedia @O2 10 year customer here, seems you have made it impossible to talk to someone on the phone now? we have been having problems ever since corona mostly tolerable 1 day issues. Today and yesterday we have no upload on our internet. If this is not fixed today, we will be leaving.
