    @virginmedia Do you have a business outage in S8? Can't get through to anyone. Wondering whether to send everyone home?

  • 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.

    @virginmedia I hung up the call, rang back and spoke with a lovely man. Reset my email, password and answered all my quedtions. All the men are when you call, the female was awful. But thank you for the response

    Well @virginmedia what a waste of our time today,we booked an engineer in the time slot 8-12,and nobody arrived I’m afraid.Tried contacting you,and can’t get through...can anyone help?

  • jamiewhalley87
    Jamie Whalley (@jamiewhalley87) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia I have been trying to get through to your cancellations department since Saturday. In total, I have been on hold for 3 hours. 1 hour intervals before you cut me off. Your txt service is SH*T. Your agent introduced himself as working for Three, before he disconnected

  • 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.

    @virginmedia Thanks for absolutely no help what so ever. Please fix your issues

    Reading all the tweets from you idiots who haven't got unlimited 5g hotspot. Been paying for this for years. For this very moment. **** you #virginmedia

  • 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

  • benbrailsford
    Ben Brailsford (@benbrailsford) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia on hold for 40 mins so far just to get you to cancel a service I don't even want 🤬

  • Pontemiller
    Nick Lawton (@Pontemiller) reported from Knottingley, England

    I think very soon I'll be saying 👋 to @ThreeUK and 🤝 to @virginmedia...over the last couple of years, the signal has got increasingly worse. I have just bought a new phone, but the problem persists...really unhappy.

  • victimsvoice73
    Victims Voice (@victimsvoice73) reported from Sheffield, England

    Anyone recommend a phone network been with @O2 for years and since it merged with @virginmedia it’s shocking. When I went on holiday before I’d never had problems this year wouldn’t let me go my own internet & here signal keeps going for phoning not to mention rise in scam calls

  • DeborahTaylor3
    Debbie 💜 🦋🦉 (@DeborahTaylor3) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia what's the issue with answering a call? Line went dead, my mum can't receive incoming texts and is due an upgrade. Your customer service is terrible, God only knows what will happen when I call for TV

  • Koko__Johnson
    koko 🌻 (@Koko__Johnson) reported from Sheffield, England

    Virgin Media have the worst customer service in the world

  • chirpyfrances
    Chirpy Frances (@chirpyfrances) reported from Wakefield, England

    Been through 16 mths of lockdown, 3 working from home & hardly a glitch on the broadband. Last 8wks its gone down for several minutes a day between 10am and 1pm. Only on weekdays & its supposed to be a problem with our hub, really? An engineer could find it @virginmedia #shoddy

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

    @virginmedia No problem, and thank you for sorting it out quickly. May be worth making sure telephone staff tell customers about call out charges as I had no idea they applied in this situation.

  • AdamPagett3

    @virginmedia That checker like my service doesn't work

  • 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

    @virginmedia why is the red button not working I've paid for this service

    @IamCarrieagain @virginmedia .@virginmedia truly shame on you, do you realise how difficult it is for disabled people to be without the internet, unbelievably bad practice, and after the difficult time you also gave to my elderly Mum I’m glad not to be a customer too, if this is the way you provide a service.

    @virginmedia Hello I have a replacement 360 box and my remote control doesn't work with it ? please advise

  • gaughan_tommy
    tommy gaughan (@gaughan_tommy) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia My experience last week…..after leaving Virgin Media 2 years ago, and switching to City Fibre (Braw Band). I inadvertently cut my external cable, cutting my hedge. Phoned up, - spoke to a real person first time. They came out next morning at 8.10 and replaced my cable. SERVICE!

  • Rough_Shuffle
    Rough Shuffle 🔀 (@Rough_Shuffle) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia I recently had to contact them. Their CS is the worst ever experienced. It's like it's ran entirely by 12 year olds on work experience. I'm horrified at how bad it is. Initially contacted because of a litany of f'ups on their part. CS seems completely dethatched from the company.

    @virginmedia @ShirleySarah70 You dont reply to messages, you have not responded to me for 4 hours on an issue that is not resolved

    Gingerlegs747 (@gingerlegs747) reported

    @dshensmith @Benleo @virginmedia I had a customer that I went out to maybe 10 times for endless disconnections on their WiFi, turns out they had fitted her a faulty refurbished router from day one.

    Shaun (@shauny67) reported

    @virginmedia @RobRollin2 If you have the 1gb they are free plus most WiFi issues are due to devices & not the service. Plus you can if want put in modem mode & use your own equipment

    @virginmedia Could you give me a number to call to cancel my TV services please.

  • Luv_Farmers
    Chrissie (@Luv_Farmers) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia I'm surprised that an investigative journalist even accepted these conditions in the 1st place. VM has an awful reputation for this kind of behaviour which is widely known. Sorry this happened to you but it was to be expected
