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

    @virginmedia It’s strange because the online help claims there’s no problem but the phone says there’s a major problem in the area. Perhaps the online help needs updating because it’s no help at all

    @virginmedia I can’t sign in with the original details. The email is no longer mine.

    @virginmedia failed install which worked for 2 hours and I cancelled within 14 days . I've now got a a bill for £62 ! Your staff just cut me off and I'm disabled and need help

  • 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 .

  • AndyM50760310
    Andy M (@AndyM50760310) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @virginmedia That is really poor. It should be for Virgin to sort not the public. I spent an hour on the phone on Thursday speaking to a next to useless overseas call centre.

  • 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.

    @virginmedia why am h getting the message that my cable is broken

  • Mcollinson72

    What an absolute shower of shite service as usual from @virginmedia they literally couldn’t care any less

  • John_murphy1
    John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia how do I order a new hub please? My current one loses network access and needs rebooting every hour or so. Not ideal when working from home. There are no known service issues so I’m thinking it’s a hub issue.

  • annie7hudds
    anne l (@annie7hudds) reported from Fenay Bridge, England

    @virginmedia what’s going on with internet service in HD8 area ? I don’t want to have to wait 23 hours before calling a technician as advised by your service page

    @DysphasiaPV @virginmedia Product is good but customer service terrible

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia I’m trying to resolve an issue with your collections team regarding an incorrect default and because I no longer bank with the same account and do not have those details, they won’t talk to me, yet they are happy to just take money off me without telling me why. It’s disgusting

  • 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

  • AndyM50760310
    Andy M (@AndyM50760310) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @virginmedia Help please. Tried to resolve wirh 3 members of your overseas Call Centre and was promised a call back. I can’t access my account.

    Duncan Waugh (@waughzone) reported

    @virginmedia Your customer service is a disgrace. I have had intermittent broadband for 4 weeks but you make it almost impossible to get it fixed. I finally managed to connect to a human on a chat who was next to useless and then sent me an email to say everything was resolved.

  • Mteasel67
    mark teasel💙💙💙 (@Mteasel67) reported

    @virginmedia Hi , my broadband contract with you is finishing today and I will be changing to another supplier. My DD payment is on the 26th of the month , am I ok to cancel my DD to you now ?

  • Hesaga_
    Hesaga (@Hesaga_) reported

    @TOBZYNWA @sweenus987 @Thafnine YouTube doesn't really count for live yet. but it'll be the same has having sky in the uk or virgin media and never watching bbc but still having to pay for tv licence because the option is there to watch it so you need to pay.

  • bushmills7d
    Paul Williams (@bushmills7d) reported

    @virginmedia another day with out service. That was nearly all day yesterday and so far 4 hours today. That’s three times this week so far. But I bet you’ll still take your money for no service

  • craywanderers
    Come On You Wands (@craywanderers) reported

    @MoMohler We've got a mirror above our fireplace. Terrible reception on it for FreeSat and Virgin Media.

  • waughzone
    Duncan Waugh (@waughzone) reported

    @dobbin1957 @virginmedia I struggle to get any communication from @virginmedia at all but then, when they did communicate, it contained blatant lies saying they had fixed the issue and an engineer had been out (neither of those things happened).

  • Some_Nick1976

    @virginmedia, why is your Internet consistently awful at this time every single night
