    @sky @virginmedia hey @SkyUK You should tell your customer service: “Online, mail and telephone order customers have the right to cancel their order for a limited time even if the goods aren’t faulty. Sales of this kind are known as ‘distance selling’…

  • Claredo91857219 Clare doyle (@Claredo91857219) reported from Barnsley, England

    @Alroblade @virginmedia Who you gone to. I need to kick them into touch. Crap service and a rip off price that gets money expensive each year x

  • wilcock_steve steve wilcock (@wilcock_steve) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia Don’t apologise fix it!! 8 days is an absolute shambles!!! Peoples lives revolve around emails now!! Bank details, fraud warnings etc

  • pidgpie Chris,,,, (@pidgpie) reported from Rotherham, England

    @virginmedia great Friday afternoon TV internet gone off landline OK network availability C130 C133 in S65 area

  • JoeInSheffield Joe 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺🔶 (@JoeInSheffield) reported from Sheffield, England

    @TrainedPengling @virginmedia The problem I have with this, is that whenever their broadband has gone down, so had my mobile with them at same time. Like when it all went down nationwide earlier this month. Having free 4g when you actually can't connect is kinda pointless lol

  • SuperFlySimon Simon Burkinshaw (@SuperFlySimon) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia why should I have to pay when I’m not being able to use the service I pay for

  • JoeInSheffield Joe 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺🔶 (@JoeInSheffield) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Nothing has happened today, I'm just commenting on your offer to give all broadband customers free mobile 4g when your broadband goes down. Whenever my broadband had gone down, so has my cellular connection also.

  • martinbo1972 Martin (@martinbo1972) reported from Rotherham, England

    @virginmedia Media! Awful talking to a call centre in another country!

  • pipathon Richard Milnes (@pipathon) reported from Ossett, England

    Decided to leave @virginmedia today after ringing them up. Great service no reason to leave other than I need to be a “new customer” to access the best deals. My monthly bill more than doubled. Hello @NOWTV or @SkyUK I think.....

  • sufcben Ben Burkinshaw ⚔ (@sufcben) reported from Brampton Bierlow, England

    @virginmedia No internet for 6 weeks as a new customer and was told an engineer would be coming today only to be told there’s no appointment been made

  • Mashcat Karma Chameleon (@Mashcat) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia No I have a full time job - I can’t keep trying when your hold times are 20 minutes plus ... you need a call back service

  • wilcock_steve steve wilcock (@wilcock_steve) reported from Barnsley, England

    Well done @virginmedia today is your 2 week anniversary of not providing an email service!! @MoneySavingExp @BBCWatchdog @Ofcom #votewithyourmoney #leavevirginmedia #customerservice #fraud #valueformoney #joke

  • sufcben Ben Burkinshaw ⚔ (@sufcben) reported from Brampton Bierlow, England

    @virginmedia Just that an engineer would be out today to fix the problem only to be told that this was not the case.

    @virginmedia You lie, scam and constantly let people down

  • shaheen40514285 shaheen (@shaheen40514285) reported

    @virginmedia my WiFi was down since I got up this morning only just come back on this second absolutely annoying it’s not the first time either ‘ might have to change provider 😡

  • scoutbreezer Breezer (@scoutbreezer) reported

    @virginmedia I have called 3 times today to complain about my awful broadband service. I have been on hold for 1 hour each time before being disconnected! I have also competed an online complaint form 3 weeks ago and had no reply. I’m paying for a service that doesn’t work!

  • b58ahmad Ahmad (@b58ahmad) reported

    Hey @virginmedia, random outtages of broadband aren’t really useful during online classes or trying to study. Please fix your broadband issues rather than just increasing prices continuously. I am considering switching broadband, had enough of this. #virginmediadown

  • Ebb1 Eb (@Ebb1) reported

    @orrydrinkwater @CalvertJames1 @virginmedia Provided you are not in contract and you give 30 days notice to cancel, in writing, then there should be no issues.

  • the_bloke_that_ The Big Fella (@the_bloke_that_) reported

    @virginmedia You're doing nothing! Rubbish Customer Support, and a completely disrespectful attitude towards customers. DO NOT USE

  • IoD_Reaper Kenna13 (@IoD_Reaper) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, is there anyway I can get a new router or even an upgrade as the one I have had for nearly 2 years is not working like it used to? The signal is so bad that it can't provide WiFi to my kitchen.

  • 9320Samanthaj samanthaj_9320 (@9320Samanthaj) reported

    @virginmedia intermittent WiFi and cannot for the life of us get through to customer service 😩

  • jameskibwe James Miller (@jameskibwe) reported

    @virginmedia Spoken to billing. The chap had to apologise as the two previous virgin customer service people have not been telling me the truth! They made an oral agreement with me and I see this as a breech of contract. Two agreements with two of your people is a course of conduct. Not happy

  • orrydrinkwater orry drinkwater (@orrydrinkwater) reported

    @virginmedia They ran the test and there was a problem so canx the engineer that was due Monday to try and fix it this weekend. Is the engineer still going to come if it's not working? Is there a timeline of fixing the fault?
