  • lisasevern Lisa Severn (@lisasevern) reported from Sheffield, England

    @SkyHelpTeam wow, it's hard to buy a new service from you guys. You're in danger of making Virgin Media look good here

  • ScottEaglen Scott Eaglen (@ScottEaglen) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia My service is faulty because I don’t have it. We moved home two weeks ago and were told someone would be here yesterday to install. Nobody turned up. And now nobody can tell me exactly when I should expect someone!

  • nicohobson nicohobson (@nicohobson) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia hi , your text service is awful and your agent went missing for 20 mins after I passed security and then said they were going to be an hour? It took 2 days for you to get back in the first place

  • slivaugh51 Sylvia (@slivaugh51) reported from Brampton Bierlow, England

    @virginmedia Had problems with our WiFi, engineer turned up at the door we asked shouldn’t he be wearing a mask 😷 he answered “nah we’ve run out” seriously Virgin you’re sending out engineers to peoples homes without masks!!!!

    @virginmedia YES - Finally, after 6 days of waiting online, and phoning and texting everyday. #VirginMedia, you need to sort out your after sales and customer service, it's horrendous!! Nobody should be left waiting for 6 days!!

  • ScottEaglen Scott Eaglen (@ScottEaglen) reported from Wakefield, England

    @jmarchy @virginmedia Been alright with us so far mate. But the service today has been absolutely woeful. Nobody has been able to give me an answer, so basically I’m currently paying for something I’m not getting.

  • AHawksworth1 Adam Hawksworth (@AHawksworth1) reported from Barnsley, England

    Internet has gone down 4 times in the space of 25 minutes @virginmedia Sort it out.

  • ScottEaglen Scott Eaglen (@ScottEaglen) reported from Wakefield, England

    And now @virginmedia are saying they can’t see what the issue is. Absolutely incredible.

  • heaton2111 John Heaton (@heaton2111) reported from Wakefield, England

  • ThingsByNik Nik (@ThingsByNik) reported

    @albionbakehouse @virginmedia Like you say, they are all awful! I’m getting passed around in circles. Everyone is keen to offer me deals, but no one seems to want to accept my cancellation. And these energy companies with their prices can all get stuffed. Disgraceful what they are doing.

  • ShirleySarah13 🐦🦔🎸🌹Shirley Sarah🌹🎸🦔🐦 (@ShirleySarah13) reported

    @snowangelmrsp @bbcthree Don't have Sky, but we can watch it on our Virgin Media with no problems.

  • clayton_hatch Louise Clayton-Hatch (@clayton_hatch) reported

    @virginmedia Been chasing for 3 months to cancel account (apparently it still live) and receive compensation (still not received) waiting on hold for hours. Asked for deadlock letter for CISAS and agent refused to respond, was put through to creditfileammendment team at 10am STILL WAITING

  • JaminiThakrar Jamie T (@JaminiThakrar) reported

    So I very cleverly set everything in my room to be “smart” which has been great. Until now. @virginmedia has gone down completely and doesn’t expect to be back on until tomorrow afternoon. I’ve now had to manually UNPLUG everything to turn it off 🤡

  • SAYF_14 49UNDEFEATED (@SAYF_14) reported

    @virginmedia Saturday 5.02.22- No broadband no TV service the status at 12pm was that the issue would be fixed by 9.45pm. Now it says be tomorrow midday.

  • saulpavage4 paul savage (@saulpavage4) reported

    @virginmedia been a customer for over twenty years but wanting to leave as putting up package a month of 40 pound I cany@y afford that shocking

  • nicodsmit Nico Daniel Smit (@nicodsmit) reported

    @virginmedia That is the useless number I am calling. STOP giving me the run around, you are NOT treating me fairly and equally. Why are you forcing me to have to go to file a case against you to get this resolved? U r all useless, NO 1 is willing to help!!! #thieves #liers #Useless

  • Roshanashahid97 Roshana (@Roshanashahid97) reported

    @virginmedia wifi box is not working at all (won’t turn on). Can’t get through to any technical team. Customer service is non-existent… loyal customer for 4 YEARS.

  • TheRealBiddle Jamie Biddle (@TheRealBiddle) reported

    @TheChipThompson @virginmedia We binned it after repeated dropouts. They're the ******* worst and it's super expensive. They kept sending people out to "fix" it and it never worked. I'd recommend binning it if I were you.

  • VivaRobKelly Rob Kelly #FBPA #FBPR #FBPE (@VivaRobKelly) reported

    @Netflixhelps It seems to be a universal problem on all the devices I have used. Netflix apps on PS4, Roku/NowTV sticks, and Virgin Media/Tevo box. The order of the seasons are in reverse and every episode behaves like the finale (recommending what to watch next at the end)
