    @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

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

    @virginmedia I do need assistance over why the 4G backup didn't kick in when I had an outage last week but I've raised that with you already, I hope

    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

  • TWO_Librans
    Phil J (@TWO_Librans) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Just want to lower my bill or cancel

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

    @virginmedia awful and aggressive scare tactics from your not so friendly cancellations rep when trying to cancel my service. God help any vulnerable person that tries to do the same thing. Shameful

    @virginmedia @virginmedia @O2 if you're going to sell merged packages to your customers then you really need to improve your joint customer service.. just batting me back to the other without an answer is simply unacceptable

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

    @PaulbernalUK @virginmedia It’s fine here but earlier in March we were left without any service for days at a time . The reason given was service upgrades. Ring them on 150 for an automated update

    @virginmedia No one has informed me of this, I feel I have been misold again very poor. No one mentioned this previously I have been told it was a new promotional that was added, so again alot of tosh. Does anyone know what they are doing at virgin.

    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

  • 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

  • TezzaBelle88
    Terry Hague (@TezzaBelle88) reported from Sheffield, England

  • tevowl9
    Adam (@tevowl9) reported from Brinsworth, England

    @virginmedia How do I report the broadband outage? You chatbot is hopeless

  • Temuing
    John James (@Temuing) reported

    @virginmedia why does my Internet go down around 11.00am every day for 10 to 15 minutes?

  • CorkinDawn
    dawnieC (@CorkinDawn) reported

    @virginmedia Plus convenient for you to get out of the compensation clause, restoring it for a few hours. The latest update showing is fix by 5 August at 16:08, so another whole day without internet. Is this a new fault or the last one not fixed properly?

  • WingsSherpa
    Wingssherpa (@WingsSherpa) reported

    @VirginMedia_TV Shouldn’t it be ‘heavy entertainment’? I’ll look forward to that on Virgin Media Player. Actually, no I won’t because it never puts anything on there for UK viewers.

  • iestyntdavies
    Iestyn T Davies (@iestyntdavies) reported

    @virginmedia - you customer service app is faulty, my TV Box is faulty how can I leave and end this poor service? Can @skytv or @EE help Me leave and get a better service?

  • cochap

    @virginmedia when do you expect to get issue sorted in the ML2 area. Virgin been down for over an hour?

  • iestyntdavies
    Iestyn T Davies (@iestyntdavies) reported

    Frankly @virginmedia we just want to ditch our contract with you as your service is so poor. Let’s get us to @skytv or @EE instead

    Caz (@Ca33ieKins) reported

    @virginmedia Horrendous service! Complete outage all day today. TQ area. No apology. Just the usual standard dialogue. Not acceptable.
