  • andyksheffield
    Andy Kershaw Media 🎙 (@andyksheffield) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia @lionsgateplusuk Wish I could enjoy this but my so called 500mb service is so poor I’ve virtually been without internet for a week. Finally your team viewed it as urgent because I do work from home on Zoom and…an engineer is coming on Tuesday. When BT Reach put full fibre in my area it’s bye bye

  • SBOmad
    Adam Hutt 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@SBOmad) reported from Swinton, England

    @virginmedia Broadband went back down for me around 16:30 and no internet etc and like others your website is still failing

  • EJJFoster
    Ed Foster (@EJJFoster) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia hi is there an issue in wakefield with the broadband? It has been off all afternoon. Constantly on the blink!!

  • victimsvoice73
    Victims Voice (@victimsvoice73) reported from Sheffield, England

    Anyone recommend a phone network been with @O2 for years and since it merged with @virginmedia it’s shocking. When I went on holiday before I’d never had problems this year wouldn’t let me go my own internet & here signal keeps going for phoning not to mention rise in scam calls

  • EJJFoster
    Ed Foster (@EJJFoster) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia I have tried the status but its saying the service is fine. Yet all the people on out estate are complaining they cannot get onto Virgin internet. We cannot book an engineer as isolating. Why is it constantly broken or speeds so slow?

  • AdamPagett3
    Padge 👌 (@AdamPagett3) reported from Featherstone, England

    @virginmedia @Virgin Terrible service

  • HarlamTK
    Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported from Wombwell, England

    @virginmedia And I can’t raise a complaint on the site without having an account, which I don’t have, so that is a pointless endeavour as well

  • kaw7676
    Karen Walsh (@kaw7676) reported from Normanton, England

    @virginmedia it’s impossible to contact them with a complaint if you aren’t a customer.

  • SamWatt30745054
    Sam Watts (@SamWatt30745054) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia you are aware that a lot of older, more vulnerable people have had alarm and safety devices installed that depend on a safe, fast, reliable service. The one that they, like, you know pay a lot of money for

  • mandybaps1
    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

  • lettielou05
    lettiebella🦉🇬🇧 (@lettielou05) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia No and tbh no apology for my internet not working since the day after install Friday and now I've been threatened in in contract ! I have 14 days to cancel can you confirm please . Im not paying for a fault after 5 days plus it's not worked from install .

  • Chm14Mc
    Chris McCulloch (@Chm14Mc) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia as a rejoining customer, how do I set up an account with my old accounts e-mail address? #gettingstuck #shouldbeeasier

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

    @virginmedia’s customer service is appalling. 3 hours to respond to a message has to be the benchmark for worst practice. Last weekend it took them 27 hours to sort out cancelling my account. Absolutely hopeless.

  • Churchill0782
    The Churchill (@Churchill0782) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia I've checked and definitely not entitled due to the amount of days with no service. Like I said, a good will gesture. People who are working from home haven't been able to work for a start. Only been with you a few weeks and have nothing but issues.

  • pidgpie

    Virgin Media have the worst customer service in the world

  • GaryFretwell1
    Gary Fretwell (@GaryFretwell1) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia I appreciate your advice, but rather than ask fellow customers for a fix I’d rather hope @virginmedia trained staff would be able to rectify this issue. I’ll try the forum, but this is not the way to run a business….@Ofcom

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

    @vmbusinesshelp @vmbusiness Thanks. The 4G backup not working since the service was installed

    Limey (@Limey31649474) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Same experience over weekend. Too much to write here but the worst I’ve been seen, incompetent beyond compare. Will be cancelling and expect them to wave the £108 they want to charge me to do so. Have a complaint raised, apparently I can’t respond to it for 8 weeks! Crap.

  • rl1602
    Richard Loach (@rl1602) reported from Gedling District, England

    @Benleo @virginmedia They ruined my Christmas in 2023. Whole day on phone sorting issues with father in laws broadband then 2 site visits ending up with me throwing my vape at TV and a bill for £1000. Horrendous company

  • grancake

  • revoraman
    Ric M. (@revoraman) reported

    @Benleo Well said, Ben. Yes, the WORST! You are in the public eye. Private Cstmrs like me who get billed for DD payments by @virginmedia , despite writing to Cust Svcs Exec in March, April, still cannot access emails, as their Support is totally inept+incompetent!

    @virginmedia @virginmedia haven’t had a drop of wifi in 3 days now. service page said it was going to be fixed yesterday but the wifi only lasted 5 minutes then went. Will you compensate me the data I’m having to buy for being in my HOUSE

  • CrimhthanMor
    An tsean bhean bhocht 🇮🇪🇵🇱 (@CrimhthanMor) reported

    @crt_dean @TheAmanuensis @MalachySteenson They actually tend to be handpicked from state funded media, which is literally every media outlet in the country to be honest, Gript is an exception, I'm sure there are others but most are in some way or other recieving state support. Even Virgin media got handouts.

  • Mikefromtheuk
    Mike (@Mikefromtheuk) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia They are truly terrible. If you simply want an internet connection and you don't have any problems, you might be okay, but as soon as anything goes wrong you hit their awful customer service. I had intermittent problems and it took months to get resolved, I then went to Sky asap.
