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

    @virginmedia been on hold 15 minutes your agent been back to me yet again same telling me I have to pay extra why do virgin think that if you charge extra this will fix an issue #badcustomerservice actually get it right first time to stop repeat calls

  • 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

  • SamWatt30745054 Sam Watts (@SamWatt30745054) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia I’ve run test after test, at least 5-6 outages a month for last 2 years. Horrendous service and this is the final straw unless you offer me a refund of say £20 a month for last two years, if not I’m going BT and a dodgy box from Mad Frank in pub

  • a8dullah_mulla Abdullah Mulla (@a8dullah_mulla) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @virginmedia well done 👏🏽 new way of resolving complaints! Offer a resolution that you know customer won’t accept so you can pass on to an adjudicator… all in a record time of 8mins!!!

  • jim_johnson24 Jim Johnson (@jim_johnson24) reported from Shepley, England

    @virginmedia 7 days and still no @O2 resolution

  • AdamPagett3 Padge 👌 (@AdamPagett3) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia finally after 5 days without a service no streaming tv, being unable to work from home and having to sit in Saturday teatime eaiting for engineer while family go to Halloween party It's finally fixed Now the impossible part making contact to discuss compensation

  • guyrleech Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reported from Wakefield, England

    @vmbusinesshelp @vmbusiness Thanks. The 4G backup not working since the service was installed

  • Bexwa Rebecca (@Bexwa) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @virginmedia The TV that it glitches on cant reach the box to get it wired in (but its only 10 ft away) I can't hard wire my laptop in. It goes off all the time! And then keep texting me saying you are coming for the WiFi pod after speaking with customer service. Im paying a fortune for this

  • SamWalker03 Sam Walker (@SamWalker03) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @virginmedia I’ve been hung up on three times this morning by your contact centre! All your willing to do is pass on the “feedback” do you have anyone customer service trained I can speak to ?

  • Churchill0782 The Churchill (@Churchill0782) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia do you care to give an update regarding services being down in the WF1 area of Wakefield? You estimate keeps changing which is becoming really annoying!! Literally 1000s of households without an Internet connection. #wakefield #poorservice

  • guyrleech Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reported from Wakefield, England

    @vmbusiness strike yet again!😠 Not only are they charging me £7/month for 4G backup that doesn't work, they are now charging me £4 for paper bills that I never asked for. Oh, and still say I owe them money despite me overpaying due a to a red letter that they took by DD later

  • Churchill0782 The Churchill (@Churchill0782) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia all services in the WF1 area of Wakefield have been down all day and looking like 6pm to be fixed. Will you be applying any credit to people's accounts?? Good will gesture and all that! #wakefield

  • AdamPagett3 Padge 👌 (@AdamPagett3) reported from Featherstone, England

    @virginmedia @Virgin Terrible service

  • andyksheffield Andy Kershaw Media 🎙 (@andyksheffield) reported from Sheffield, England

    @StueyDay @virginmedia @lionsgateplusuk The service is awful and customers find it too hard to get a prompt response. Last time this happened it took at least 8-10 emails before they got past the automated letter asking me to switch off, reboot and check all the connections.

  • andyksheffield Andy Kershaw Media 🎙 (@andyksheffield) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia @lionsgateplusuk Wish I could enjoy this but my so called 500mb service is so poor I’ve virtually been without internet for a week. Finally your team viewed it as urgent because I do work from home on Zoom and…an engineer is coming on Tuesday. When BT Reach put full fibre in my area it’s bye bye

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

    @virginmedia the cheek or virgin media staff complain about virgin router dropping out constantly call raise a complaint and tell them router is disconnected from network and request a hub 4 as been told this is what’s needed I get told I have to upgrade to 1 gig for new router

  • guyrleech Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reported from Wakefield, England

    @KevEdwardsRetro I've been with them for years (Yorkshire Cable before that) but changed to the @vmbusiness service to get 4G backup only to find that it doesn't work when their device is in modem mode. Unable to get through to them though - worst support/customer service I've ever experienced

  • SamWatt30745054 Sam Watts (@SamWatt30745054) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia No it didn’t help, what is the score SL V England John

  • 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.

  • AdamPagett3 Padge 👌 (@AdamPagett3) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia That checker like my service doesn't work

  • DeaconFrost4469 2SDeaconFrost (@DeaconFrost4469) reported

    @radish_84 @virginmedia Problem might be the equipment and not service or it could be a combination. I use a Linksys 3 nod router that can be used to wire or wifi. Ive had no issues with connections and we have Spectrum services. Not sure were your at but our broadband is killer and no data caps

  • DoctorBeeching1 Doctor Beeching (@DoctorBeeching1) reported

    @virginmedia I am now satisfied at the resolution thank you. Just a little frustrating getting to it. 👍
