  • BuntysBoutique Bunty's Boutique (@BuntysBoutique) reported from Gildersome, England

    @virginmedia you are guilty of entrapment in my opinion....Why don't you have email us on your website. How come I can only telephone you (if you can ever get through) to cancel my ridiculously expensive broadband contract at £67 per month in order to move to EE @ £28 per month.

  • Rozzyp1 Rozzyp (@Rozzyp1) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia Whilst I have no tv, radio or computer to work i shall be a twitter warrior and tell everyone how turning off service alternate days means we get 1/2 the service with no recompense.

  • lshudall Lucy (@lshudall) reported from Gildersome, England

    @virginmedia The wifi still doesn't work. please can you confirm when this will be fixed

  • philipbackhouse Phil Backhouse 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴‍☠️ (@philipbackhouse) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia The sale person sat in my living room for 3/4 hour and told me that they take the cables over the roof, never once mentioned going round all the skirting boards, we would not have even signed up if known, its wasted my time & your engineers time.

  • SUMBoiii_ Sumboiii (@SUMBoiii_) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia So spoke to Paul eventually. He went all Del Boy on me and we reached a deal, you did good this time @virginmedia but you really do need to get offers out to loyal customers that are just as good as the new customer deals

  • suntattoo66 suntattoo66 (@suntattoo66) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Yes I did . useless ..no help at all

  • pjam62 Phillip Jameson (@pjam62) reported from Gildersome, England

    @virginmedia 1/2At the time of the problem the Virgin media app wouldn’t even recognise that I was a customer, so I couldn’t access any information on the status of the service. The problem is that without anyone touching the router it just goes into a cycle of resetting itself.

  • harryd20200 Haz (@harryd20200) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia do you have a direct number to uk customer services as your staff in India are useless and do not understand I want my phone number changed to ex directory. 4 times I've been transferred to different departments and each one has poor english and really struggles.

  • Rozzyp1 Rozzyp (@Rozzyp1) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia I understand why you cannot help, but neither can anyone else, or explain what the problem is. I am documenting & recording my calls/emails/tweets ( yes I do tell the operator I'm recording, just as they do, it's the law, you would be surprised at some of their reactions)

  • Antoinne73 Vampire Bait (@Antoinne73) reported from Rotherham, England

    @virginmedia Yes both Crap - have been for 100+ days

  • dutchieuk2009 🎙Carlo RedsReport van de Watering🎙 (@dutchieuk2009) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia any chance of someone following me, rand cust services 3x, phoned put down on me 2x, 3 different advice/info given. This is urgent .

  • Mel_Jayne1207 MelissaJayne💋💕 (@Mel_Jayne1207) reported from Sheffield, England

    @SamBaileyREAL @SkyHelpTeam @SkyUK Sam switch over to @virginmedia i have no problem with Internet connection, best decision i have made, hope you resolve the issue x

  • suntattoo66 suntattoo66 (@suntattoo66) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia I 1st used web chat and was offered the same package then I rang explaining I'm struggling to pay and will have to cancel. No reduction in package or price. Just told to ring back

  • cstarkey12 chris starkey (@cstarkey12) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia have some how managed to ***** up our broadband and TV! We are now in to day 2 with out them and they can't get anyone out until Friday to fix it😠 which now means I have to talk to my wife and the kids🤯 #oldskoolliving

  • adamptr92 Adam Potter (@adamptr92) reported from Gildersome, England

    @virginmedia more of the same for the whole weekend - annoying, as I can't watch anything online, but totally inconvenient because I cannot complete the work I need to do. Phoned your helpline - they couldn't tell me what the issue was. *should* be fixed by the 14th. 1/2

  • lshudall Lucy (@lshudall) reported from Gildersome, England

    @virginmedia There's a pre-recorded message when we ring up saying that engineers are working on it, but there's no estimated fix time

  • Rozzyp1 Rozzyp (@Rozzyp1) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia Monday no tv/broadband, get up today & guess what it's off again. If you think you've experienced a loss of service, please register it as you may be eligible for bill credit if your service isn't restored within two full working days following your registration.

  • Rozzyp1 Rozzyp (@Rozzyp1) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia The link just takes you onto a list of possible problems to sort out yourself, reboot etc, then says any other problems ring us. .....

  • suntattoo66 suntattoo66 (@suntattoo66) reported from Sheffield, England

    Very disappointed with @virginmedia @richardbranson got told to ring back in a couple of months but 2 staff members when I complained I could not afford the rise in price £44 now £61.50. No help at all

  • SUMBoiii_ Sumboiii (@SUMBoiii_) reported from Wakefield, England

    Why do companies like @virginmedia not reward customers for loyalty! It's only new customers they give a shit about. Off to another broadband provider

    @virginmedia why are you pretending to be stupid>? read my messages before you say sorry

  • TheRoonMeister DR (@TheRoonMeister) reported

    @virginmedia hello there. I’ve got a super hub 3 which has worked really well the last few years. However recently it’s just been dropping connection. Oddly it doesn’t show anything on the box like it used to when the internet would go down. Takes an effort to restart it too!

  • rdhanarajan Dhanarajan R (@rdhanarajan) reported

    @virginmedia Why can't anyone take responsibility from virgin media on this issue? And make run from pillar to pillar. Is it not my right to see my bill? How difficult is it to raise support ticket?

  • Benteke_SZN Ethan (@Benteke_SZN) reported

    Was on the phone with virgin media when the Schick goal went in and nearly screamed down the phone

  • cCOOL_ Andrew (@cCOOL_) reported

    For the past year now I've been shrugged off and what has felt like ignored, by @virginmedia. I pay for M200 Fibre Broadband and should be receiving an average of 200 MB/S download, instead its consistently sat at around 9-12 MB/S for a whole year. Followed by cut outs etc. Help!

  • Budgiesmuggler6 Lee Parsons (@Budgiesmuggler6) reported

    @virginmedia your service is the worse I have ever had to deal with total rubbish will never recommend you as a good company

  • AlexandraRants Alexandra ♿️ (@AlexandraRants) reported

    @virginmedia No help whatsoever. It’s not just the internet, it’s phone and telly as well and the troubleshooting doesn’t have exactly the problem we have.

  • conor_wisson Conor Wisson (@conor_wisson) reported

    @virginmedia Yes things are back up and running but I’m tweeting because it’s a regular occurrence at the same time of each night. Why is this dropping at 1:30am-2am each night and not working until around noon the following day.

  • YoungSigmund Da La (@YoungSigmund) reported

    @virginmedia Well, you really didn’t say that when I said that I already made a complaint. In the end I will spill the beans to the press regards your data breach, overcharging and no correspondence when SAR requested was made. You have duties and responsibilities you must fulfil

  • keithke00444917 kellier47 (@keithke00444917) reported

    I know there’s nothing you can do about it - it’s just virgin media are terrible. it’s my fault I was advised not to go with you but naively went against that advise
