  • millersfm2011 Barry Wilkinson (@millersfm2011) reported from Conisbrough, England

    @virginmedia Hi, Liam said someone would call back tomorrow. No issue with service, just can't have in the new build. The service is not in the area. Let's see if we get the call back tomorrow. Shouldn't treat a leaving customer like ****.

  • cathgray23 Catherine Gray (@cathgray23) reported from Horbury, England

    @virginmedia We got the first bill, the customer service guy was still answering my calls and he promised we wouldn’t be charged for TV. We were! Our next bill still has TV on and he is not replying to emails, texts or voicemails. One of the reasons we agreed to switch was personal service

  • Ray_Lennox Tom Clark (@Ray_Lennox) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia what is going on with WiFi in Sheffield. It’s been awful for weeks

  • cathgray23 Catherine Gray (@cathgray23) reported from Horbury, England

  • statto95 David JS Dawkes-Hall 💙 (@statto95) reported from Hoyland Nether, England

    And the 4th time today everything has gone down. How am I meant to run a medical company control room when my Internet keeps dropping out? @virginmedia are you going to pay the company for loss of income which is being suffered? Or me for that matter.....

  • Mr_Mark_Taylor Mark Taylor (@Mr_Mark_Taylor) reported from Kirkburton, England

    Morning @virginmedia. Is there a broadband issue for HD8? The service status facility isn’t working on your website. Thanks.

  • ianpnaylor Ian Naylor (@ianpnaylor) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Not really. He said that there had been an outage in the area. That seems to happen nearly every day at the moment. Resetting the box multiple times, running a test, waiting then hoping.

  • parky1021 simon parkinson (@parky1021) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia WiFi constantly dropping out. How do I fix this plz

  • cathgray23 Catherine Gray (@cathgray23) reported from Horbury, England

    @virginmedia We discussed the Oomph package which I initially agreed to then changed my mind within the 14 days, informed the customer service guy, by phone, text and email, he said he would cancel. The engineer came and documented that TV had been refused and therefore didn’t install

  • 0ssettTerrier Paul (the original Ossett Terrier 🐶) (@0ssettTerrier) reported from Ossett, England

    @carltonnash @virginmedia Good luck! Unless they're trying to retain your business, they're as bad as @sky

  • millersfm2011 Barry Wilkinson (@millersfm2011) reported from Conisbrough, England

    @virginmedia Well this is a cracking start. A call back tomorrow rescues the situation. Been a virgin customer since broadband came along. Fingers crossed.

  • leannerains Leanne Rebecca (@leannerains) reported from Sheffield, England

  • virtualicetea Lord Farger (@virtualicetea) reported

    @virginmedia @sainsburys What you need to do is concentrate on your customer service. My elderly parents in law have been withou their phone line for two weeks and cannot get any response from a human! They are both self isolating, clinically vulnerable with health issues. This is not acceptable

  • WelshLassinShef Nikki Rees (@WelshLassinShef) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. It's now almost 96 hours since we were disconnected and we still haven't got our WiFi back. Can you help?

  • apmilnes Paul Milnes (@apmilnes) reported from Armthorpe, England

    @samuk29 @virginmedia It’s unbelievable how bad the customer service is, I’m actually happy with the product but the customer service for sorting my problem out is shocking!

  • aitch_R_aitch Rach (@aitch_R_aitch) reported

    @58ALL @virginmedia Me too!! Every week there's an outage! Roll on end of contract 🙄🙄🙄🕑🕝🕒🕞

  • samuk29 Samantha Fuller (@samuk29) reported

    @apmilnes @virginmedia We will also be cancelling our DD as no one can be bothered with our complaint. Can you justify the increase of putting our bill up an extra £40 pound a month! Yes I did write month! No explanation! I hope this is a mistake! #unhappycustomer

  • alex__0113 Alex (@alex__0113) reported

    @virginmedia Not even intrested in looking. All good and well giving these fast speeds but what’s the point when it’s constantly not working. Never had 1 issue with @skytv.

  • MarkUK88 Mark Ford (@MarkUK88) reported

    @virginmedia This will not help. Like I said, it worked perfectly fine for 2 and half years now stops working most of the time.

  • Lozalondres Lawrence76 (@Lozalondres) reported

    Apparently @virginmedia offers oomph bundles for its services. Would be delighted if there were oomph packages available for its customer services department and billing teams. Can’t wait to say goodbye now to this joke of a company, something to look forward to!

  • locke_cooper Sophie Locke-Cooper (@locke_cooper) reported

    @virginmedia I have called customer service multiple times and they keep telling me to call the construction team who do not work on the weekends.
