  • giinagii GiinaGii 🐱🌿 (@giinagii) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Third time it's been down today now. Yes completely down, we have no Internet at all. What other services do you mean? We only have broadband with you. Yes, I've booked but not until next week, we CAN NOT have this service for 3-5 days before someone comes out?!

  • giinagii GiinaGii 🐱🌿 (@giinagii) reported from Sheffield, England

    @calvg @virginmedia Thank you 🙏 Stop blaming us and be responsible for your crap connections

  • andy_english Andrew English (@andy_english) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @LordTets @virginmedia Go to Ofcom... you have clearly given them ample time on numerous occasions to resolve your complaint. Life is too short to spend your time waiting for promised calls and web chats... let the ombudsman deal with them.

  • 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

  • giinagii GiinaGii 🐱🌿 (@giinagii) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for absolutely no help what so ever. Please fix your issues

  • JudgeDrokk Judge Drokk | Mark Hellewell (@JudgeDrokk) reported from Darton, England

    @virginmedia Well I don't know if the problem has been restored at virgins end I received help and advice from an outside source who showed show me how to work around the problem with manual DNS entries. But for me, working now. Thanks.

  • RomegouxLouis Louis Romégoux (@RomegouxLouis) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia please sort the Sky Red button issue which is preventing Sheffield United fans subscribed to Virgin from experiencing the service they've paid for.

  • Koko__Johnson koko 🌻 (@Koko__Johnson) reported from Sheffield, England

    Virgin Media have the worst customer service in the world

  • giinagii GiinaGii 🐱🌿 (@giinagii) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia So you're telling me to be without stable /any Internet for at least 3-5 days and that is okay and acceptable? No. We work from home. You need to fix this.

  • Adz_lufc adam (@Adz_lufc) reported from Wentworth, England

    @virginmedia your chat bot is broken, how hard it is yo actually speak yo someone who knows what they are talking about

  • ClaireWinslade Claire 💙 (@ClaireWinslade) reported from Sheffield, England

    Moved to @virginmedia on Monday and router didn’t come. Then when it came Wednesday the internet wouldn’t connect. After 7 phone calls and an engineer called out it’s still not working 😡 and it seems if you are on hold for too long they just cut you off. So frustrating

  • benbrailsford Ben Brailsford (@benbrailsford) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia on hold for 40 mins so far just to get you to cancel a service I don't even want 🤬

  • 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

  • BMiller36990477 -BMiller- (@BMiller36990477) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Sure, office this morning at about 8am. No service and Internet access by 9.30M and popped back late morning and still nothing around 10.45am. So finished my admin at home with my own broadband connection. Didn't call or raise the issue as its a pointless exercise. Cheers

  • jamiewhalley87 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

  • alexwhit3head_ Alex (@alexwhit3head_) reported from Sheffield, England

    Coincidence that BT & EE has been selling broadband all day in area and now my @virginmedia is down.

  • RiaStones Ria Stones (@RiaStones) reported

    @mitchec1 @SkyUK @virginmedia We did the same and regret it, the hub is awful! I have to reset it all the time, the tv doesn’t even compare to sky

  • gm8arv David Taylor 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇪🇺 (@gm8arv) reported

    @wgoodf @dave_g8kbv @rdavies6 Not that their customer service is any better than others, but does VirginMedia cable run past you?

  • brandonnevans Brandon Evans (@brandonnevans) reported

    @virginmedia Unfortunately that’s not the case, my contract came to an end and I renewed, the agreed price was £61.** and I am being charged £67. Are you able to chase the complaint number mentioned at the top of this thread so someone who can assist or call me can resolve this?

  • goonie2008 Andrew Lee (@goonie2008) reported

    @mitchec1 @SkyUK @virginmedia I left Virgin after 4 months and still had the privilege of paying the contract up even though it was garbage.

  • MurphyandToby Toby (@MurphyandToby) reported

    @LateStarter7 @virginmedia Oh yes. It's becoming a bit of a habit lately. It's back on now but it's a terrible service especially if working from home.

  • barton6435 Craig Barton (@barton6435) reported

    @mitchec1 @SkyUK @virginmedia Should just read goodbye Internet and customer service.

  • David86786077 Yana (@David86786077) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. Since receiving an email about a new 'Boosted service' to my wifi my NON Virgin mobile phone keeps losing connection to wifi. Any ideas please ?

  • Ed_Pritch91 Ed (@Ed_Pritch91) reported from Telford and Wrekin, England

    @mitchec1 @SkyUK @virginmedia Bad move.

  • PeopleAreSayin5 People Are Saying (@PeopleAreSayin5) reported

    @trinetti @virginmedia Same boat as you in SW13. Been a problem since Saturday. @virginmedia keeps saying it'll be fixed by X time on X day, but that comes and goes with no fix.
