    @virginmedia you must have the most unreliable internet service in the UK. Several times a year it goes down for a full working day. Again today, "Unplanned Outage" yet your van was here within seconds. Unplanned my arse. Compensate my loss of earnings! #poorService

    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 finally after 5 days without a service no streaming tv, being unable to work from home and having to sit in Saturday teatime eaiting for engineer while family go to Halloween party It's finally fixed Now the impossible part making contact to discuss compensation

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

    @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

  • 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

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

  • a8dullah_mulla
    Abdullah Mulla (@a8dullah_mulla) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @virginmedia well done 👏🏽 new way of resolving complaints! Offer a resolution that you know customer won’t accept so you can pass on to an adjudicator… all in a record time of 8mins!!!

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

    @virginmedia I’ve had that email. I’ve also had another email this morning saying they’re sorry to hear I’m unhappy with my broadband speed. I’m not! I’m unhappy with a call out charge being applied, which was promised to be reversed and never has been!

  • 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

    Adam (@tevowl9) reported from Brinsworth, England

    @virginmedia on the phone for 30 minutes, WhatsApp message and technical support still not sorting us out! Oh but we can double what we pay and get a new hub!! New customers get it for £25

    @virginmedia something is wrong with your internet network. maybe DNS server issue? some sites down on all devices but able to reach them if using a vpn.

  • Jess_Simpson645
    Jessica Simpson 😺🐶🐾 (@Jess_Simpson645) reported

    @virginmedia thank you for offering help via a DM, but you have sent me quite a lot of the exact same messages now - only one was needed. I have already told you that one of your engineers is coming out tomorrow to check everything is okay and get everything working properly. At this point I will only need to contact you if the engineers visit isn’t successful.

  • PeteinExeter
    Peter Miller (@PeteinExeter) reported

    @virginmedia absolutely disgusting that we have no tv or broadband until tomorrow afternoon. I can’t wait to move house so we never have to use you again !!

  • 54JohnBull
    John Bull (@54JohnBull) reported

    @DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt It's a stupid system where every time you have to threaten to cancel, and eventually even that becomes a waste of time.

  • Kieranbcfc2
    K (@Kieranbcfc2) reported

    @christyboy87 @Rugby_Scoop @virginmedia All I’ve seen on here is people thinking we’re blaming the ref. Like no we know we’re shite, but the ref also was. Wasn’t the reason we lost but we can still say he was bad.

    @nel_andrie @virginmedia You’re right. A communications company that has a huge problem communicating!! 🤬

  • SpinCat1
    Top Cat (@SpinCat1) reported

    @virginmedia I understand that by 5pm today, your customer’s issues and concerns had still not been addressed properly. I’m told that your original resolution was to knock 54p per month off the payments. No emails after that point have been properly answered.

  • scott_ivell
    Scott Ivell (@scott_ivell) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. We have no phone service at home. Service status shows no issues. when i call home from mobile says 'not been possible to connect you' so it's not our handsets - can you diagnose please

  • boconnorchest
    Dr Brian O'Connor (@boconnorchest) reported

    @Rugby_Scoop @virginmedia I can understand ungracious losers, but being ungracious winners is bizarre. I was beginning to like NZ rugby; now we are back to the one-eyed arrogance of the spear-tackle era. Colin Meads & Ken Catchpole incident will forever be a stain on Kiwi rugby. SA v NZ, who to support?
