  • Callum_SEND
    Callum 🏳️‍🌈 🔴⚪⚫ 🔰 (@Callum_SEND) reported from Brampton Bierlow, England

    @virginmedia I appreciate you trying to help. The issue is with the virgin contract being 18 months and the "new" o2 deal being 24 months and how this would impact as I looked to renegotiate in 18 months

  • VanceBulla
    V-Bull (@VanceBulla) reported from Brampton Bierlow, England

    @virginmedia Faceless customer service. Can’t live chat, can’t chat to anyone on the phone. All they want to do is send you a text or a link to their website. Poor. What am I paying for? Certainly isn’t customer service

  • SBOmad
    Adam Hutt 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@SBOmad) reported from Swinton, England

    @virginmedia Broadband went back down for me around 16:30 and no internet etc and like others your website is still failing

  • pearson_alison
    Alison Pearson (@pearson_alison) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia why is the red button not working I've paid for this service

  • Churchill0782
    The Churchill (@Churchill0782) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia I've checked and definitely not entitled due to the amount of days with no service. Like I said, a good will gesture. People who are working from home haven't been able to work for a start. Only been with you a few weeks and have nothing but issues.

  • guyrleech
    Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reported from Wakefield, England

    @vmbusinesshelp @vmbusiness Thanks. The 4G backup not working since the service was installed

  • AnnielizzieSten
    Rt. Hon Annie (@AnnielizzieSten) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Oh yes and I’ve phoned. It appears to be that yesterday’s problems haven’t been resolved.

  • giinagii
    GiinaGii 🐱🌿 (@giinagii) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia So you're telling me to be without stable /any Internet for at least 3-5 days and that is okay and acceptable? No. We work from home. You need to fix this.

  • SheltonAndy
    Andy Shelton (@SheltonAndy) reported from Heckmondwike, England

    Absolutely disgraceful service from @virginmedia again. If I could change I would! Do not go with them if you have a choice!!

  • chirpyfrances
    Chirpy Frances (@chirpyfrances) reported from Wakefield, England

    Been through 16 mths of lockdown, 3 working from home & hardly a glitch on the broadband. Last 8wks its gone down for several minutes a day between 10am and 1pm. Only on weekdays & its supposed to be a problem with our hub, really? An engineer could find it @virginmedia #shoddy

  • paul_phillips83
    Paul David Phillips (@paul_phillips83) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia been on hold 15 minutes your agent been back to me yet again same telling me I have to pay extra why do virgin think that if you charge extra this will fix an issue #badcustomerservice actually get it right first time to stop repeat calls

  • Mcollinson72
    Michael Collinson (@Mcollinson72) reported from Wakefield, England

    Slow glad to be moving from @virginmedia broadband this Friday. Their advertised speeds used to be unparalleled but since FTTP alternatives becoming available their appalling level of service and refusal to acknowledge or deal with faults has forced a once loyal customer

  • w47carr
    Mrs c (@w47carr) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia why am h getting the message that my cable is broken

  • Koko__Johnson
    koko 🌻 (@Koko__Johnson) reported from Sheffield, England

  • popsgolf

    @virginmedia Well I don't know if the problem has been restored at virgins end I received help and advice from an outside source who showed show me how to work around the problem with manual DNS entries. But for me, working now. Thanks.

  • ollieinleeds
    Oliver Dean #TeamLH (@ollieinleeds) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia you must have the most unreliable internet service in the UK. Several times a year it goes down for a full working day. Again today, "Unplanned Outage" yet your van was here within seconds. Unplanned my arse. Compensate my loss of earnings! #poorService

  • rjcook15
    Rebecca Cook 🇬🇧 (@rjcook15) reported

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia I feel your pain - I’m having trouble with @BritishGasHelp who have even sent an apology addressed to my deceased mother and the man I spoke to couldn’t understand why I was so upset and that it had taken me 10 days to ring and try and explain

  • Glawsloz
    Lawrence Landray (@Glawsloz) reported

    How about you supply the service I’m paying you for instead @virginmedia I now can’t have an engineer until 1st June so no Internet until

  • O2
    O2 (@O2) reported

    @kimerthywoo Hi it's us from Virgin Media O2. Sorry to hear your having this issue. If possible could you send us a screenshot of the error you are getting over a private chat, so we can look into this for you.

  • neilheppen
    Heppo (@neilheppen) reported

    @virginmedia @GeoffJonners Why should that matter. An existing customers should be offered the same renewal deal whether online or by speaking to an agent. But of course that's not the case - and even the online renewal offer goes up or down every couple of days. Time the regulators got to grips with it.

  • lola_viscera
    Lola Viscera (@lola_viscera) reported

    @virginmedia this is STILL happening after months my phone number has been incorrectly linked to somebody else’s account and i’m continuing to receive repeated phone calls, payment warnings, suspension notices and account messages intended for another customer despite repeatedly reporting it how has this still not been resolved?

  • Vikk3rs146
    Mark vix (@Vikk3rs146) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks to the shabby way you’ve treated us once again ..that’s it for us now 30+ years a customer but no more ..just signed up to Sky ..had enough of your shite service and inept customer service..oh and £45 a month cheaper

  • Teresacooper

    @virginmedia all my emergency buttons are on Virgin and its all been offline since yesterday.

  • unknownkd99
    KD (@unknownkd99) reported

    @virginmedia Any reason an engineer hadn't managed to fix our internet issue and instead delayed the fix estimate twice now leaving us without internet for 2 weeks and trying to charge us £700 to leave when your not providing your service?

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia I recently had British Gas apologise for not carrying out my mother's boiler service. She died in 2020.
