  • 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

  • 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.

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

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia first day of your internet snd massive regrets ! Can I cancel ? Cutting out constantly 😫

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia very unhappy failed install and had no service since Saturday and I'm within my 14 days to cancel yet your staff don't understand this and want to charge me for a fault call !! When do you become so crap !!!

  • 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 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

  • Aidan1964 Aidan Carey (@Aidan1964) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia I'm a new customer and cannot access my account. I've spoken to your customer service team a number of times and they haven't been able to sort my issue out. My account is tagged as a secondary account, but I'm the primary account holder!

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

    @virginmedia Yes it’s signal and tried o2 got nowhere xx thanks for the reply

  • Mcollinson72 Michael Collinson (@Mcollinson72) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia ongoing intermittent issues with my broadband for weeks now and yet your website gives no option to get through to anyone to help despite it promising to do so. Keeps telling me to check back in 24 hours. Unacceptable level of service!

  • Mcollinson72 Michael Collinson (@Mcollinson72) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia awful and aggressive scare tactics from your not so friendly cancellations rep when trying to cancel my service. God help any vulnerable person that tries to do the same thing. Shameful

  • 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

  • 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

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

    Dad got rushed to hospital still in and @O2 connection is still not working in my house or mums @virginmedia mobile same problem (according to there test it’s fine) well try using it here especially when a loved one is ill and you can’t even connect a phone call &it’s a main road

  • popsgolf Andrew Poppleton 💙 (@popsgolf) reported from Wentworth, England

    @O2PriorityUK I’m struggling to connect with app. I’m a @virginmedia account holder. Initial you sent me a code but via my mobile. Now my phone number is placed in the box it doesn’t recognise it. Help?

  • 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 .

  • Mcollinson72 Michael Collinson (@Mcollinson72) reported from Wakefield, England

    What an absolute shower of shite service as usual from @virginmedia they literally couldn’t care any less

  • TenderPawsVets Tenderpawsvets (@TenderPawsVets) reported

    @virginmedia We are business customers. We don’t usually have trouble with Virgin Business but I have held on the business phone number for an hour this morning with no answer. I have been waiting on live chat for ages. Please can someone help

  • SMJGilbert Stephen Gilbert (@SMJGilbert) reported

    @chrisgreen @virginmedia When VM f’cked up my internet access for 18 days, they awarded me £8 a day and 18 months free Sky Sports - but only after I’d sent daily emails of complaint. Their customer service interaction is inexcusably unhelpful, to the extent one might imagine it is deliberate.

  • JoeBirt Joe MVO 💙 (@JoeBirt) reported

    @virginmedia so the next bill is in and for no internet for over a week I get diddly squat / nadda / nothing in compensation- as I expected so not surprised. Customer Service NIL

  • LOL_VO LOL_VO (@LOL_VO) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. We had a letter about planned works due on Friday but our WiFi has been down since late last night. Has it started early?

  • HicksonMark Mark Hickson (@HicksonMark) reported

    @Defencebrief @virginmedia I thought there had been a shift towards valuing your existing customer base. Obviously not everywhere.

  • Meh_Kat KJ Lewis ⓥ (@Meh_Kat) reported

    @virginmedia and please don't send me to the help team cuz...

  • LawAspi TheAspiLawStudent #NoReturns (@LawAspi) reported

    @Defencebrief @virginmedia There's zero customer loyalty / reward from virgin, just cancel it and go elsewhere. Always best to shop around

  • sec2daya ChelseaChic (@sec2daya) reported

    @virginmedia @WilyFederCrypto @virginmedia - help!!! Yr BOTs are parrots!!!

  • CarolynEd1 Carolyn M Jones 💙 (@CarolynEd1) reported

    @virginmedia Oh God. I chose 'broadband fault' and the robot tried to run a remote check of our broadband service, which I could not allow because it would disrupt our work etc. Of course the broadband is working fine now but that's what you told me to report. 1/2

  • CarolynEd1 Carolyn M Jones 💙 (@CarolynEd1) reported

    Oh man, any day you have to try to get through the customer service helpline at @virginmedia is going to be a terrible day
