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

    @WeAreWST @manbetxofficial Was really enjoying this tournament however thanks to @virginmedia I have no tv coverage! They are having unexplainable 'issues' yet again.

  • 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 Well I never, just as usual, tv back on just before deadline again, but still no wifi, the enq system wouldn't let me send the form, wanted my URL & told me to ring them. All responses & times being monitored for collection of data regarding regular loss of service.

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

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

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

    @virginmedia As my 4g on my phone is for some reason very slow, or non existent I shall try when ( bring the operative word) my wifi/broadband is restored. I expect Virgin to sort things out, they are saying they have an issue, but no one there know why this happening. Not my job! I pay you!

  • Family_Brock Jessica🌈🦄🦋🌸🍭 (@Family_Brock) reported from Doncaster, England

    @virginmedia worst internet provider EVER!!! Always bloody down!

  • 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)

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia Yes - the complaint is about no tv service and no contact in 6 months despite paying £800/year - the letter asks me to ring customer services - I have x 100. Never get through to anyone

  • Family_Brock Jessica🌈🦄🦋🌸🍭 (@Family_Brock) reported from Doncaster, England

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

  • 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.

  • 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
