-
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
-

-
Sam Watts (@SamWatt30745054) reported from Barnsley, England@virginmedia I’ve run test after test, at least 5-6 outages a month for last 2 years. Horrendous service and this is the final straw unless you offer me a refund of say £20 a month for last two years, if not I’m going BT and a dodgy box from Mad Frank in pub
-
lettiebella🦉🇬🇧 (@lettielou05) reported from Sheffield, England@virginmedia very unhappy failed install and had no service since Saturday and I'm within my 14 days to cancel yet your staff don't understand this and want to charge me for a fault call !! When do you become so crap !!!
-
John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported from Sheffield, England@virginmedia how do I order a new hub please? My current one loses network access and needs rebooting every hour or so. Not ideal when working from home. There are no known service issues so I’m thinking it’s a hub issue.
-
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
-
Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported from Wombwell, England@virginmedia I tried that and that’s how I got stuck in this situation. Is there a number I can call that is DIRECT for a complaint?
-
Ryan Wilson (@rywilnot) reported from Darton, England@SkyHelpTeam broadband this week has been shocking. Following the help and test in the app says all is well (funny that). Not really sure what I’m paying for. Back to @virginmedia
-
Andy Kershaw Media 🎙 (@andyksheffield) reported from Sheffield, England@StueyDay @virginmedia @lionsgateplusuk The service is awful and customers find it too hard to get a prompt response. Last time this happened it took at least 8-10 emails before they got past the automated letter asking me to switch off, reboot and check all the connections.
-
Abdullah Mulla (@a8dullah_mulla) reported from Heckmondwike, England@virginmedia somethings never change, £21 price increase can’t get you good customer service. Complaint logged for the second time, will I get response this time? 🤔
-
Amanda Brightmore (@mandybaps1) reported from Sheffield, England@virginmedia I've emailed MD and they called me within the hour and sorted my issue out within 10 minutes. You should be ashamed of yourselves
-
Jim Johnson (@jim_johnson24) reported from Shepley, England@virginmedia 7 days and still no @O2 resolution
-
Jamie Whalley (@jamiewhalley87) reported from Wakefield, England@virginmedia I have been trying to get through to your cancellations department since Saturday. In total, I have been on hold for 3 hours. 1 hour intervals before you cut me off. Your txt service is SH*T. Your agent introduced himself as working for Three, before he disconnected
-

Peter Totays (@p_tar) reported@LouiseMensch @virginmedia @Benleo The worst company!
-
Dave (@DaveWW1877) reported@virginmedia The biggest joke of a company when it comes to Customer Service, absolutely disgraceful the way the treat customers Had a complaint on going since the 30th March and they still can’t get it right to resolve even after speaking with a Senior Complaints Manager
-
michael albertina (@scoggs70) reported@virginmedia why do none of my apps work after the upgrade to TV360 ... thought I was going to get a better service?
-
Paul (@PaulUtd16) reported@TonyDabell @mark_wootten @virginmedia 100% virgin are absolutely atrocious! Customer service skills of Darth Vader!
-
KrYpt (@KrYpt923317) reported@Benleo Disgusting customer service. I’ve had many issues with then. Financial Ombudsman Service have always helped, but now they’ve changed regulators, who are almost as bad as VM. Virgin Media just hiding behind a great product.
-
Geoff Jones (@geoffjones7) reported@Benleo @virginmedia I was a service engineer for many years for Virgin (formally Telewest). You most certainly do not have to renew a contract to get a cable fixed. Also the Indian call centre has been a long-standing issue for their customers. Very poor service
-
Suz (@scoobiesue82) reported@virginmedia It is default to audio descriptive so I change it to Original Dolby Audio both via the context (…) and pressing down and along to audio & subtitles but it’s not changing anything even though it appears to select what I want
-
Amy Heppingstall (@AmyHeppi) reported@quickmediauk I’ve had problems with virgin media WiFi for 6 months now and I can’t keep going like this I’m going to loose my job
-
ShirleySarah🌹🎸🦊🦔🐦⚽ (@ShirleySarah70) reported@JaneVCarroll @virginmedia Theyve been downright rude to me on the phone today. As soon as I can cancel my services with them the better. A customer of over 20 years and because I'm a mature 72 year old woman they speak to me as if I'm stupid. Cancelling next week.
-
Poppyfields18 (@Novemberpoppy82) reported@virginmedia why on earth is my internet so slow. Only been with you 2 months and it is terrible for the past 3 days. My son is trying to revise for his GCSEs for 2 exams tomorrow and this is not good. Nothing will load. Get this sorted asap
