  • mechasquid Andy Welland (@mechasquid) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia hi there! Do you have a customer support email address at all? Broadband customer here. I can’t get through on phone or live chat and need to discuss service issues and wish to downgrade service. Hope you can help!

  • jojo_oh_jojo Jo of JAM Artworks (@jojo_oh_jojo) reported from Sheffield, England

    @KatePinkSmith @virginmedia I finally made the break from Virgin last week, moved to BT. Shocking service all round xx

  • Nude_Jay Jay🧘🏻‍♂️🧔🏻 (@Nude_Jay) reported from Sheffield, England

    @openswimmer7 @virginmedia Really bad. In total yesterday spent 4.5 hours on the phone. Only wanted to renew, then everything else got broke on the way. Fingers crossed now sorted 😐

  • Reverand_dave Rev dave walker (@Reverand_dave) reported from Horbury, England

    @Ofcom why are you still allowing virgin media to provide intermittent tv, broadband and phone packages without punishment. In our area over the last two year they have provided an awful service. Constantly going down or intermittent. Horrible customer service.

  • dawnproc 👻🤩DP 🤩👻 (@dawnproc) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia why have you just contacted me to tell me my internet service will be disconnected in four hours as we need a new router?? We had one last week and you’ve been out to it twice since 😳

  • LewisH90 Lewis H (@LewisH90) reported from Darton, England

    Stream down again because @virginmedia are incompetent! Catch you guys tomorrow if they can manage to sort it.

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

    @virginmedia How can can I get hold of you to cancel the TV service and complain about the repeated loss of service on the broadband that is financially impacting me working from home. No answer on the phone, no reply to any form of contact. #disgusting

  • Reverand_dave Rev dave walker (@Reverand_dave) reported from Horbury, England

    @virginmedia I moved back to virgin in Feb as I had a house move and it wasn't on my new street.Soon as they put it in I switched back to you but it certainly isn't the "always on" service I remember. I've had a new tivo within 2 months. Line issue. And repeated loss of service.All in 6 month

  • Yorkie_Jock Derek Libberton 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Yorkie_Jock) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia hello, we had a letter saying work would be carried out on broadband 23rd Oct, my partner is at home today booked into an NHS online training course and has no service. Called cust svcs, msg says work being carried out today. Why no notification?

  • dale_beverley84 dale beverley (@dale_beverley84) reported from Wombwell, England

    @virginmedia why did you promise us broadband by today yet still an engineer has not been out to do the work then to install. This is shocking service.

  • Reverand_dave Rev dave walker (@Reverand_dave) reported from Wakefield, England

    @philsid @virginmedia Me either mate. Was surprised actually. Only issue is the line speed was poor as they use the old bt phone lines so gaming ping could be a nightmare. I changed back soon as I could but thier name is mud up here mate

  • petershaw1984 peter shaw (@petershaw1984) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @virginmedia i have an appointment for someone to come to my house tomorow to fix my hub. Recieved this message today. Replied NO but they replied as if i had said yes. Can u confirm if someone will still attend my property or not.

  • StuN_UK StuN UK (@StuN_UK) reported from Sheffield, England

    @SkyHelpTeam Losing patience waiting for you to contact me about changing my V1 Sky Q box for V2. Fed up with some UHD recordings having software errors. 6 months left on my contract but I’m considering taking a financial hit, terminating it & leaving for @Virginmedia

  • stuartbquick Stuart Bolton (@stuartbquick) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia I’m not impressed. Switched for phone and broadband on 31st Aug. Telephone switch got rescheduled on the day of installation! Had to get existing provider to extend contract for 2wks. Broadband is constantly buffering and now gone down. @NOWTV @VodafoneUK better.

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

    @virginmedia my internet is down, can’t actually speak to anyone to tell you about it. Absolute joke

  • dawnproc 👻🤩DP 🤩👻 (@dawnproc) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Hi, no issues with Hub or my account so I’m guessing it was a scam call 😳

  • Reverand_dave Rev dave walker (@Reverand_dave) reported from Horbury, England

    @virginmedia Customer service i can forgive in this climate with people working from home

  • Reverand_dave Rev dave walker (@Reverand_dave) reported from Horbury, England

    @virginmedia Its off more times than its on of late. I'm still getting an intermittent line issue on my bb which ive had pretty much from day one and the whole service goes off in wakefield/ dewsbury area at least once a week. Its off now.

  • organised Shay (@organised) reported from Wakefield, England

    @daveyp @virginmedia Fortunes have been made on default settings and **** like this — though honestly I would happily move somewhere just to get virgin again.

  • lgcornetto Louis Collenette (@lgcornetto) reported

    @virginmedia Yep. I’ve called your customer service line about 15-20 times in the last month because of continual outages, and now the wifi/tv are completely down and the phone system won’t even put me through to anyone - just says engineers are working on the issue.

  • EditorTrace Trace Taylor BFE (@EditorTrace) reported

    @scorpioredhair @virginmedia That’s why I moved to G-Network

  • coolnavnit Navnit Punj (@coolnavnit) reported

    @virginmedia I've tried from another device also and I get same issue. Doesn’t allow to enter text. Is there NO system where someone can just call or whatsapp me?? Why do I need to send another email when I have already explained my problem here??

  • _JoFoster Jo Foster (@_JoFoster) reported

    @virginmedia Promised this amount will be amended-it never happens,call and get told there are no notes on the account,all calls are recorded. Of virgin listen to the retentions call they will hear everything on that call. And the call on the 16th Feb. Where the agent apologised for the error

  • _JoFoster Jo Foster (@_JoFoster) reported

    @virginmedia the customer services and treatment I have received from virgin media has been disgusting. I have never experienced such bad service from a company in my life. This issue needs to be resolved please

  • stevepurser Steve Purser (@stevepurser) reported

    @virginmedia I’d like to make a complaint, ordered broadband to be installed at my address today, website says available and had email confirming install date, booked time off work and have just called to see what time your coming, to be told it’s cancelled as you can’t install

  • CrombieAlexa Alexa Crombie (@CrombieAlexa) reported

    @virginmedia Looking at your virgin media forums this has been a known issue for around 6 months and has nothing to do with Cache/ Cookies or Browser it is a server issue which I assume your web developer needs to look at!

  • Geordie2302 Geordie (@Geordie2302) reported

    @virginmedia Tried to move services when moved home and some major incompetence from your end after about 20 hours of pointless calls. Have gone with Sky now tbf and never thought I would. You owe me £76 and I don’t accept cheques.

  • jdcecfc justin courtney 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 (@jdcecfc) reported

    @virginmedia Your advisor told me I would. So glad I'm leaving you, I will never return. 30 years a customer !!!!

  • Daniel_DOA4 Daniel DOA4 (XBOX) & Daniel_DOA4 (PSN) (@Daniel_DOA4) reported

    Has anyone else had problem’s with any of @virginmedia’s employees including Jon Slater? Selling virgin media with the promise of covering cancellation fees from previous providers? Get in touch with me! Let’s see if we can get him fired!
