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.

-
GiinaGii 🐱🌿 (@giinagii) reported from Sheffield, England@virginmedia Third time it's been down today now. Yes completely down, we have no Internet at all. What other services do you mean? We only have broadband with you. Yes, I've booked but not until next week, we CAN NOT have this service for 3-5 days before someone comes out?!
-
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 🤬
-
Gary Fretwell (@GaryFretwell1) reported from Wakefield, England@virginmedia I appreciate your advice, but rather than ask fellow customers for a fix I’d rather hope @virginmedia trained staff would be able to rectify this issue. I’ll try the forum, but this is not the way to run a business….@Ofcom
-
Adam Hutt 🏴 (@SBOmad) reported from Swinton, England@virginmedia Broadband went back down for me around 16:30 and no internet etc and like others your website is still failing
-
Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported from Wombwell, England@virginmedia And I can’t raise a complaint on the site without having an account, which I don’t have, so that is a pointless endeavour as well
-
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
-
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
-

a staunch advocate of things (@fahadiiae) reported@Johnty14 @virginmedia That’s why i never walk out the front door, sends a signal to the burglars that im not in. Best to rappel down a garden side upstairs window
-
KopiteinPoland (@KopiteinPoland) reportedI never had issue with @o2 until they merged with virgin media. Now I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone. You try and use the website, pages don’t load. Information isn’t available. How do you keep on top of your account. #awfulservice #neveragain
-
@andycrfc.bsky.social (@AndyRFCCharman) reportedJust spent best part of day trying to sort out issues with @British_Airways & @virginmedia Both seem to be competing for ‘Worst Customer Service’ award although BA winning because I’m at least speaking more or less real time with a human at VM, albeit making little progress!
-
Malcolm Sillick (@Malcolm_Sillick) reported@LeilaniDowding @EE Lellani, it's not just EE, it's everyone. Even those on cable (Virgin Media) still have to have the phone plugged into the router. Seems like a good idea, until you get a power cut (which can be supported by a back-up battery, which is NOT given as standard) If the internet goes down, then so does your phone. Great if you have a mobile, but if you live in an area with a poor mobile signal, so reply on 'Wi-Fi calling' in the house, then when the internet goes down, you also have no mobile service. It's called progress!!

Steven Adams (@StevenAdams2) reported@virginmedia hi can I say that Callum your engineer in Peterborough was a great help We had been without TV for a week spent hours on the phone trying to sort it out. He visited and within an hour it was all working again
-
Marina Robb (@MarinaRobb) reported@MelJanie @virginmedia Tellingly, the engineer who eventually came out (I'd already cancelled the service) said they still had to fit the back up line as they'd been fined £28 million by the regulator. Appalling customer service though.

Caoimhe Ní Chearbhaill (@Caoimhe_OCDH) reported@virginmedia WiFi down in D2 since yesterday evening
-
Paul Green (@pgreen83) reported@virginmedia I have sent another private message. 3 weeks non stop of having issues with virgin. When is everything going to work? I pay £120 a month for something that I cannot use.
-
Burn Notice (@BurnNotice85) reported@VirginMediaNews Note to Virgin Media : stop platforming that religious zealot and fantasist - even at the opportunity cost re: a young journalist's tv screen time & professional exposure. He's on his way back to prison when another warrant comes down from the bench, in coming days and weeks.
