    Adam (@tevowl9) reported from Brinsworth, England

    @virginmedia on the phone for 30 minutes, WhatsApp message and technical support still not sorting us out! Oh but we can double what we pay and get a new hub!! New customers get it for £25

    @virginmedia Sure, office this morning at about 8am. No service and Internet access by 9.30M and popped back late morning and still nothing around 10.45am. So finished my admin at home with my own broadband connection. Didn't call or raise the issue as its a pointless exercise. Cheers

  • 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.

  • GAMINGDRAGONUK

    Ryan Wilson (@rywilnot) reported from Darton, England

    @SkyHelpTeam broadband this week has been shocking. Following the help and test in the app says all is well (funny that). Not really sure what I’m paying for. Back to @virginmedia

  • SiDay14
    Simon Day (@SiDay14) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @virginmedia Did you even read the thread?? Now you want me to complain about an issue I’ve complained about several times already? The whole point is your pathetic response to issues!

  • Helen_Claire71
    Helen-Claire Stone (@Helen_Claire71) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia’s customer service is appalling. 3 hours to respond to a message has to be the benchmark for worst practice. Last weekend it took them 27 hours to sort out cancelling my account. Absolutely hopeless.

  • lettielou05
    lettiebella🦉🇬🇧 (@lettielou05) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia No and tbh no apology for my internet not working since the day after install Friday and now I've been threatened in in contract ! I have 14 days to cancel can you confirm please . Im not paying for a fault after 5 days plus it's not worked from install .

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia how do I order a new hub please? My current one loses network access and needs rebooting every hour or so. Not ideal when working from home. There are no known service issues so I’m thinking it’s a hub issue.

  • 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 🤬

  • AnnielizzieSten
    Rt. Hon Annie (@AnnielizzieSten) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Oh yes and I’ve phoned. It appears to be that yesterday’s problems haven’t been resolved.

    Melvyn May (@melvmay) reported

    @virginmedia Without broadband for 4 days. Repeated calls to “support” result in nonsense on why, such as “needing to replace copper cables with fibre!” (I’ve been FTTP for 2 years). Got a text message that I will have a visit today. Now 7:30 pm and nothing. £90/month.

  • EmilienJoel
    Oliver Brown (@EmilienJoel) reported

    Tired of paying for multiple subscriptions like Sky, BT Sport, Virgin Media, Now TV, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Apple TV+? I have got the solution. This IPTV @8k_Best_IPTV26 offers: • 300,000+ live channels • 65,000+ VODs • PPV events • Netflix • 78,000+ movies

  • clintontayls
    Clinton (@clintontayls) reported

    @virginmedia very unhappy with our tv service that hasn’t worked properly for 2 weeks despite a replacement box🤬😥…..not easy to phone you either!!

  • deanomac27
    dean scates (@deanomac27) reported

    @virginmedia had no WiFi for the last 48 hours, called and was told to keep and eye on it. Been flashing blue light on box there’s no known problems in the area I need help

  • VaghjianiV23409
    Vishal Vaghjiani (@VaghjianiV23409) reported

    @virginmedia The issue is still unresolved and I’m being told to wait again. Unacceptable when Virgin Media’s negligence cut my phone line. After multiple complaints and weeks of stress, the sensible solution is to let me leave the contract with no fees and avoid further drama.

  • tw1tterlawsey
    Martin law (@tw1tterlawsey) reported

    @virginmedia - I am writing this in total frustration with your company - you make us all upgrade and then provide an inadequate service- the new box clips, you can not access recordings - @sky must be rubbing theirs hands together - 2 months ani can get away from this

  • pressqforquinn
    Quinn 😈 (@pressqforquinn) reported

    **** Virgin Media. I won't be streaming today and on Monday due to an outage that won't be fixed until 7th April thanks to the religious holiday weekend.

    @virginmedia is down.. What a time to have no service. Over a long weekend. #broadband #virginmedia

  • El_Lloydie
    Gareth Lloyd (@El_Lloydie) reported

    Well, the customer service from @virginmedia these days is really quite remarkable. And that's not a compliment. Here's a thread... Informed them that I'm moving house, and they get it booked for Friday 3rd April. All good...

  • melvmay
    Melvyn May (@melvmay) reported

    @virginmedia 6 days without broadband. 4 calls to "support" who are, frankly, terrible and cannot help with anything. 3 engineer calls outs promised but nobody has turned up. What a disaster of a service.
