    @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 ****.

  • Helen_Claire71 Helen-Claire Stone (@Helen_Claire71) reported from Sheffield, England

    Recently renegotiated my contract with @virginmedia just received notification that they are billing me for 50% more than was agreed. Called them and they cannot explain why, and have registered my complaint and someone will call me at some point in the next 48 hours. Scandalous

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

    Dealing with ongoing @virginmedia connection issues whilst trying to work is bad enough, but then repeated issues whilst trying to watch #sheffieldUnited lose again is just too much. Especially as my bill is pushing £50 a month. Can't work, can't suffer the footie. Come on virgin

  • 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

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia whenever I’m on zoom upstairs and away from my route my wifi always seems to drop out. It’s always says my internet connection is unstable. I’ve restarted router etc is there anything else I can do to boost it

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.....

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

    @virginmedia joined for broadband, being charged for Tv package which we don’t have and a phone line which doesn’t work!!! Mobile no. given to us to discuss account won’t pick up or reply to messages or emails!!! Disgusting service!

    @virginmedia I pay £50 a month for my WiFi and Internet, any particular reason it keeps going down.....??

  • 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.

  • RyanBicky Ryan (@RyanBicky) reported

    Why does @virginmedia think its ok to constantly raise the price for our wifi?! We first got it for £40 a month now its over 50! What ********

  • JaneyE1 Jane E (@JaneyE1) reported

    Just received an email from @virginmedia saying my monthly bill is increasing. Why? Your service barely works, you don't provide adequate customer support and quite frankly terrible internet. When other services are freezing payments of offering Covid discounts and incentives,

  • DrCat1981 Dr Cat Whittall (@DrCat1981) reported

    @virginmedia No faults listed, this has been going on for 2 months. I’ve followed all your recommendations and your 30 day speed test showed no issues...but I have done daily speed tests and this is the speed I regularly get throughout my work day

  • Mark_the_man_89 Mark (@Mark_the_man_89) reported

    @virginmedia my virgin broadband going up by £3.50 from £33 to £36.50! I'll be cancelling so go **** yourselves. So we can cancel free of charge too. ******* expensive as it is! Right only 2.6% which would. That would be 85p more than £33. Yours is more than 10% increase!!

    @virginmedia I tried to call earlier gave up after being on hold for an hour. Checked for issues in area and the website says fine, down detector says otherwise as does my hub.

  • hypnotic Lucius Werthers 🔸️ (@hypnotic) reported

    @virginmedia I am out of contract. I've had your team repeatedly try to phone me in response to a written complaint about the fact you keep trying to phone me. It's comically appalling. Like, how stupid are your staff?

  • Charlotte_Psych Psychology Charlotte (@Charlotte_Psych) reported

    @virginmedia Can I get an explanation as to why I'm only now being told it's going to take 6-8 weeks to install wifi at my house? I signed up a month ago and have twice had the installation delayed. Just waited an hour on hold to talk to someone only for them to hang up on me.

  • stuartmatthewsd stuart matthews (@stuartmatthewsd) reported

  • LFC_Dirk_YNWA LFC_Dirk (@LFC_Dirk_YNWA) reported

    @McGeezer87 @virginmedia I renewed mine last month. Pretty much the same situation as yourself. When they wouldn’t match my existing price I asked to be put through to the retentions team to cancel. Once I got through with in a couple of minutes the guy gave me a better deal than I original had.
