  • SUMBoiii_ Sumboiii (@SUMBoiii_) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia hi got an email saying I'm going to get charged for not sending back equipment, which I have and have the receipt to confirm. While I'm here my upgraded broadband is quite flimsy and drops connection more times then I drop my pants, and I'm a nudist! Help!!!

  • wilcock_steve steve wilcock 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@wilcock_steve) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia good morning, it appears that your service is poor yet again!!! No tv,broadband or phone since yesterday. A call to customer services reveals 03 March for service t return in full. 👏👏👏

  • badger63 judith badger (@badger63) reported from Sheffield, England

    Really disappointed with @virginmedia quality of home broadband... insufficient band width...paying a lot of money for really poor service...not good enough ... let's see what @sky can offer

  • Rozzyp1 Rozzyp (@Rozzyp1) reported from Wakefield, England

    @fatboy1988 @virginmedia @Tonester_7 The call centre rang me to try & sell me more services, she rattled through her script with a very heavy foreign accent, I didn't understand her, spoke too quickly, so declined the offer, shame I may have wanted the service, they'll never sell anything in that way! @virginmedia

  • Antoinne73 Vampire Bait (@Antoinne73) reported from Rotherham, England

    @virginmedia See my first tweet - no contact in 6 months - £600 down the swanny

  • RockettNeil Neil Rockett (@RockettNeil) reported from Wentworth, England

    Dreadful service from @virginmedia. Internet & TV problems for almost a week now. Completely fed up with being asked to unplug, plug back in again & run the set up process. It doesn’t work! They’re happy to take £70 pm for a poor service but reluctant to send an engineer.

  • pso_kt PsO kt (@pso_kt) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia hi can you tell me if there's any issues in S6 please,

  • RosCrowley Ros (@RosCrowley) reported from Hoyland Nether, England

    After the internet off most of the day yesterday, I now have 28 mg at s740 ap....I wish I had never changed!! @virginmedia

  • SUMBoiii_ Sumboiii (@SUMBoiii_) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia I couldnt get through, you must be having loads of issues I waited 20 minutes on hold

  • Rozzyp1 Rozzyp (@Rozzyp1) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia @Tonester_7 I wish they had an office where you could go & sort out your problems with @virginmedia, the call centre staff sadly don't speak Yorkshire, they don't understand me!

  • Rozzyp1 Rozzyp (@Rozzyp1) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia Last time I tried to submit online, it wouldn't let me, it said ring!! You just go round in circles. Pointless exercise. Your customer service is not good, it used to be brilliant.

  • RockettNeil Neil Rockett (@RockettNeil) reported from Wentworth, England

    @virginmedia I’ve run all the tests & it’s telling me the ethernet cable is unplugged. I’ve never had an Ethernet cable! I can watch tv & record but can’t access on demand or catch up services. It stopped working at 5.59am 27/2. Please send help! Like a real person. I’m getting fed up now...

  • badger63 judith badger (@badger63) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia We are dissatisfied with virgin medis. Poor delivery of streaming services and in House wifi. Numerous occasions where service is cut or slow. Please advise how we can improve this

  • paul_phillips83 Paul David Phillips (@paul_phillips83) reported from Barnsley, England

    Hi @virginmedia just a quick question are you guys going to be having @DisneyPlusUK on you’re service for customers please

  • wilcock_steve steve wilcock 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@wilcock_steve) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia Unfortunately we can no longer use this service as it states u can only do this 3 times. Which becoz it says phone fault as opposed to full service fault have been used!! 03 March is no good to me!!

  • pso_kt PsO kt (@pso_kt) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Ha iv just grabbed a technician outside shevis going to run a test as she visiting addresses with same issues 👌

  • gavcav1 gavcav (@gavcav1) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @virginmedia Pls don’t keep sending me this same message, I’ve said time and again there are no issues showing and that’s one of the annoyances! There never is anything showing.

  • Antoinne73 Vampire Bait (@Antoinne73) reported from Rotherham, England

    @virginmedia Yes - the complaint is about no tv service and no contact in 6 months despite paying £800/year - the letter asks me to ring customer services - I have x 100. Never get through to anyone

  • Bhamjee786 Mohammedbhamjee_ (@Bhamjee786) reported from Dewsbury, England

    Why do i still have 1 bar connection in my house @virginmedia fix up pls

  • ron3stripes ronald fox (@ron3stripes) reported from Royston, England

    @virginmedia can you explain to me why you have used my property to fix cable to enter next door without my permission.

  • GregThePatriot 🇺🇸 Greg 🇬🇧 (@GregThePatriot) reported

    @Ash_Hirani @gin_leighton @virginmedia Virgin is not part of Openreach, hence the issue.

  • WayneGrimshaw7 wiganwayne 🌙☀️🎶🪐🌓 (@WayneGrimshaw7) reported

    @147_ste @virginmedia Mine was same mate , had zero help from virgin. Did a bit of research and decided to go down the mesh network route. So far so good

  • CatherineCorcor Catherine Corcoran (@CatherineCorcor) reported

    @virginmedia Hi Virgin Media no we haven’t because your customer service is really poor and we’ve been unable to reach anyone

  • _Dave_Morris_ rockin_plumber 🤘😎🤘 (@_Dave_Morris_) reported

    Today I was meant to get my HUB3 It never found its way to me You chose Yodel to deliver ur goods Their inability to deliver left me in a mood Virgin media I feel let down That has left me with an angry frown Both of you chose not to reply The only thing left is to **** and cry

  • indiointernet Brian Roe (@indiointernet) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    Thank you @virginmedia? The outage fix will carry on for an additional 12 hours. You really know how to provide a great service, don't you? Well, not for me you don't. You've properly messed up my ability to have my work published tomorrow, thus, loss of business. #unimpressed

  • eddylev Eddy Leviten 💙 (@eddylev) reported

    @virginmedia no service at all now after being intermittent all day! So not only was my work disturbed I now can’t even relax with a box set #fail

  • arabmackem Walter Rojas SC ⭐️ (@arabmackem) reported

    @virginmedia No you don’t it’s crap. You place a rooter in my bedroom (because you tell me that’s the best place) then it repeatedly fails in the living room. Abysmal service.

  • TuppenceShort Jane Capon (@TuppenceShort) reported

    @virginmedia Not that you give a shiny ****, but it took me another hour and a half on the phone today to sort this out, being put through to various departments (Retention? When I'm moving to a house that has VM already?) Your customer service is the absolute, utter worst.

  • sunsopeningband Todd Davenport (@sunsopeningband) reported

    @NeilOConnell @virginmedia The WiFi can *not* go down at my house. Ever. It is simply not an option. Sending prayers.
