  • Healeybrooks Healey 🤍💛💙🏆 (@Healeybrooks) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia are the absolute worst company I have ever come across. 18 days trying to get them sort their shambolic internet dropping & still being passed from 1 agent to another in same team. Don't waste your time with this company. They have no idea what customer service is.

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

    @koffee_truffles @virginmedia I’ll try calling again tomorrow and go through to cancellations.. if they won’t sort I’ll leave .. I’ve only ever had them too - never used another provider 🙈

  • JordRd Jordan Reid (@JordRd) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia this service is abysmal.. no one answering calls again, no live chat, how can I fix my problem if no one is available to talk to. We’ve been having issues since 26/10/20.. absolutely crap. @SkyUK we’re on our way

  • JordRd Jordan Reid (@JordRd) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia broadband been down for over 2 weeks. Working intermittently. Phoned on numerous occasions, on hold for over an hour each time. Tried the messaging service. Respond only when I’m at work. Abysmal service/provider. My wife works from home and is having to us hotspot

  • summitsleap Anita Whittaker (@summitsleap) reported from Conisbrough, England

    @virginmedia please please can someone help me. I left virgin in October and have had several calls to say I didn't ask to. Now they are threatening me with debt recovery. Is this correct

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

    @virginmedia Hi no - the link is broken and chat says up to 4 hour wait 🙈 .. please just want to order the booster please

  • Healeybrooks Healey 🤍💛💙🏆 (@Healeybrooks) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia Yes after 1.5 days I heard from tech team who said I need faster broadband, they put me in queue for customer relations who upgraded me last night but today we've lost internet 4 times 🤬 Will give it another day but probs spending tomorrow night onwards trying to get through 😡

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

    @koffee_truffles @virginmedia It admits it’s not working .. says my coverage of a **** .. then offers to fix it for another £60/year .. same week they send me a letter to say my bill is increasing anyway .. clearly forgotten we’re in a pandemic!!!

  • summitsleap Anita Whittaker (@summitsleap) reported from Conisbrough, England

    @virginmedia so. I left virgin media in October after 19 years, not that I wanted to. I just was fed up of new customers getting a better deal. Now I keep getting billed and its up to £150. How can I stop this. Been on the phone 20mins but had to put it down 😤😤😤

  • liaryredhead Angelina Perrett (@liaryredhead) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia - 3 scam phone calls this morning from a company impersonating Virgin Media- by the third time they were just plan rude when I would not respond

  • mrriddlesworth Mr Riddlesworth (@mrriddlesworth) reported from Rotherham, England

    @virginmedia I test through a wired connection, i have already sent a complaint form with all the details on the online portal.

  • PatsyT31 PatsyT (@PatsyT31) reported from Fenay Bridge, England

    @virginmedia 54 minutes on hold, and your operative cuts us off when we were half way through discussing the issue. Shocking service!!

  • ReeceBryan94 Reece Bryan (@ReeceBryan94) reported from Wombwell, England

    @virginmedia when are you going to start issuing people the Hub 4 as the SH3 is useless for delivering wifi. Doesn’t help that you seem to be constantly having issues and massive speed problems over the last month. Any chance of us actually getting a service that we pay for?!

  • JordRd Jordan Reid (@JordRd) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Yes. I just want to speak to someone and get this resolved otherwise I want to cancel altogether

  • webbo999 andrew david pearson (@webbo999) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @virginmedia is there problems with sky box office paid £27 to you for the boxing and picture keeps breaking up #poor

  • CEjottings Norman Perrin (@CEjottings) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Done that. Looks like the TiVo box the likely problem. Needs replacing. So how do i do that? Phone leads to online help: online leads nowhere helpful, for just replacing a TiVo box. Ideas?

  • AbigailBriggs_ Abigail Briggs (@AbigailBriggs_) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia my 80yo Grandma has been without use of her phone for almost 24 hours. This has been reported and the automated message keeps saying will be resolved by a certain time, but that time keeps getting put back. Unable to speak to an actual person. Can you help?

  • mrriddlesworth Mr Riddlesworth (@mrriddlesworth) reported from Pontefract, England

    Not happy with @virginmedia for the past couple of weeks my download speed has dropped to 1/3rd of what i am paying for and no way to talk to an actual person about it. Just a robot that jeeps telling me to do the crap ive already done 10 times already. 😡🤬😡

  • AbigailBriggs_ Abigail Briggs (@AbigailBriggs_) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia The estimated fix time was 8pm last night, then 10pm, then 12am and now it is 4pm. Will it be fixed by this time, or will it just be put back again?

  • JohnLeesley john leesley (@JohnLeesley) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia appalling service virgin media! On 24/12 v6 box broke. So far, 4 telephone calls, 3 promises of calls back (not received), told new box posted to us but it wasn’t, engineer appointment cancelled by virgin with no explanation. Week later & still cant watch tv

  • _M155Y_ Kate Welling (@_M155Y_) reported

    Getting through to @virginmedia is impossible. Wait time is currently 4 hours. Shocking customer service level!

  • shitportal Rob (@shitportal) reported

    @virginmedia Just wait until you see the transcript. It's actually getting quite funny. I've now asked 7 times to cancel I think

  • freya_schofield Freya Schofield (@freya_schofield) reported

    Internet connection has been getting steadily worse for the last few days. Now only get a signal if I literally sit in the hallway next to the router. Thanks Virgin Media 🙃

  • EnderChristine Christine Ender (@EnderChristine) reported

    @virginmedia frustrated after hours on hold, being transferred and then cut off when wanting to cancel a subscription - why do you not have an email for such a process!!!!

  • Tina_Cliff Tina Jessop (@Tina_Cliff) reported

    @virginmedia why do you keep hanging up on us? Been trying to cancel since 13th January? 45 minutes on the phone each time and you cut us off when we ask to cancel. Literally spending hours and hours on this!

  • amandacowie Amanda Firth (@amandacowie) reported

    @virginmedia Of course. I told her I wanted to cancel, she kept telling me she’d look into better deals. I said I didn’t want a better deal, I just wanted to disconnect. She told me she’d have to speak to her manager (no idea why), put me on hold for a bit then hung up. Nothing was advised.

  • Acupofteaandab1 Acupofteaandabiscuit (@Acupofteaandab1) reported

    @virginmedia @virginhelp My broadband is slow to the point I’m barely able to work. Have called and option 1 cuts me off ( whichi has reported previously) and option 2 is permanently engaged

  • amandacowie Amanda Firth (@amandacowie) reported

    @virginmedia Are you absolutely kidding me?? Another 30-40 minute minimum waiting time to get my call answered to what, I suspect, will be the same response. Let alone my phone bill!! You should be ashamed that this is the level of customer services you defend.

  • glanford99 Jason kingdom (@glanford99) reported

    @virginmedia Haven’t been connected as you say they pull through has to be sorted first. And back to that… after several days I’m now told it’s delayed indefinitely. No reason given and customer services refuse to contact me, despite several complaints logged online, requesting contact. 4

  • smtm__LFC75 smtm__lfc75 (@smtm__LFC75) reported

    @superscouse82 @virginmedia You should speak to @DaveKong8 - best thing i ever did was leaving Virgin media. It was off more than it was on. Internet went down all the time. TV hit n miss. Awful awful awful.
