  • JaseCritchley Jase Critchley (@JaseCritchley) reported from Hoyland Nether, England

    @virginmedia Yes, dispite your Call Centre saying no area issues your status page says otherwise. Fix at 10pm. Lost all services not just internet.

  • OliverShort574 Oliver Short (@OliverShort574) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia thank you so much for leaving our family without WIFI for the next 2 weeks... Poor Customer Service , No Letters about “A Survey” rang customer services to cancel and obliviously they didn’t understand we wanted to cancel after 30 minutes on the phone!!!!!

  • MoMAbbieBurger Abbie Master of Magics (@MoMAbbieBurger) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia I have been having the odd few issues lately, recently the main issue is loss of any connection at night time. When I try to log into my account, via phone because my £46pm broadband is down, so I can see if there is an issue a few things happen... [1/4]

  • sijackson77 Simon Jackson (@sijackson77) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @virginmedia been without broadband or TV for 3 days now. Your information line advises “ it’s a complex issue ...taking longer than expected”. I work from home, I NEED broadband for email, Skype and data access. It’s not bloody good enough!

  • JaseCritchley Jase Critchley (@JaseCritchley) reported from Hoyland Nether, England

    @virginmedia I didn't realise when I negotiated a deal I'd be automatically entitled to no compensation and rubbish customer services. Lesson learnt.

  • JaseCritchley Jase Critchley (@JaseCritchley) reported from Hoyland Nether, England

    @NickJames1988 @virginmedia Ours is down again Nick in s74. TV down too.

  • ty_warburton Ty Warburton (@ty_warburton) reported from Brampton Bierlow, England

    @virginmedia can someone contact me , the customer service you provide is abysmal, trying to get an issue resolved and no one on your customer services seems to listen!!!

  • dangriffin37 @DEG44Griffin (@dangriffin37) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia so please explain the 20% hike in my bill every month just because you are discontinuing my chosen plan and offering me exactly the same plan for an extra £3 per month, been a customer longer than I care to remember but utterly disgusted by this #virginmobile

  • IDanzoh Danny™ (@IDanzoh) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia It says no known issue so no

  • IDanzoh Danny™ (@IDanzoh) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia I just want to know when the virgin engineer will be done messing with the electric box on my street I’m sure that’s the reason why it’s down

  • popsgolf Andrew Poppleton (@popsgolf) reported from Wentworth, England

    Once again no tv and broadband from @virginmedia. So I ring up and their is a recording saying they are improving the service and it may be off till 6.00pm. Does no one work nights when it would disrupt less people. #justsaying

    1/3 Chris at @virginmedia called me yesterday to resolve my complaint and say that they would fulfil the offer they gave me on 25th Nov if i would withdraw the case. I agreed I would after 24 hours after checking the documents.

  • RumAndTheRedmen PastCaring (@RumAndTheRedmen) reported

    @virginmedia Are you serious!? 24 hours later you are NOW getting back to me!? Joke of a company. Have cancelled rather than renewed my contract, purely because of your woeful customer service. Horrendous.

  • tickles_t Neil Turner (@tickles_t) reported

    @virginmedia It just drops out all the time. Using your online checker it says that there is a network issue coming into the home. Told me to check the connections / reboot rooter etc (which I've done several times) and nothin has improved.

  • chrismitch99 Chris Mitchell (@chrismitch99) reported

    @virginmedia yet again I have no tv@& again u don’t answer your phones. Since early Dec I’ve lost 5+ hrs on hold. Can u tell me how I’m supposed 2 get my issue fixed? Beyond a joke now. If this isn’t sorted within 24 hrs, after 8 years custom, I’ll be cancelling my direct debit.

  • suerussell77 Sue Russell (@suerussell77) reported
