-
Oliver Dean #TeamLH (@ollieinleeds) reported from Wakefield, England@virginmedia you must have the most unreliable internet service in the UK. Several times a year it goes down for a full working day. Again today, "Unplanned Outage" yet your van was here within seconds. Unplanned my arse. Compensate my loss of earnings! #poorService
-
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 ?
-

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!

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
-
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
-
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
-
Andrew Kerrison (@AndrewKerrison6) reported from Rotherham, England@virginmedia I tried to report a problem. The advisor was only interested in selling me a upgraded package. Miss selling packages to customers is not good practice
-
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.

GW 🔰🏴 (@GW_Mktg) reported@Girlw0ndr Yep steer clear of @virginmedia. Their broadband is down as we speak!
-
Lee Manton (Λη Μαντον) (@mantonl) reported@biggle1908 Virgin media service is good & fast, great deals for new customers, but renewal time they are horrendous. Mine went from £94 to £247 overnight, call centres are useless & it's a massive battle to get to a sensible renewal price. Left them this year after 20 years because of this.
-
Lisa (@LisaRacheal) reported@virginmedia As usual yous site says no issues. I’ve been waiting 10 mins on the live chat and still nobody has joined the chat after the bot phase
-
rhi (@travichughes) reported@j_ball13 @virginmedia when my mum died she was the primary account holder of our t3sc0 mobile family plan. instead of letting us switch our dad to the named person on the account, they cut our contracts off and left us with no working signal at all. absolute rubbish, i think they even put a block on
-
Joseph Harvey (@Funkychicken65) reported@tim_longhurst A service with very channels and going down a lot, just like @virginmedia
-
Ravi Pal (@ravipal1214) reportedI gave you my proposed resolution three times, two working pods shipped together, pre activated and 50% off until both function as am losing productivity and your service isn’t useful for my work. @virginmedia since I have been asked to cancel- I don’t think that proposal matters anymore.
-
GW 🔰🏴 (@GW_Mktg) reportedSecond guess, for @virginmedia… the classic ‘cut the wrong wire’ then a lot of head scratching to work out where the problem was?
-
Richard O'Shea (@RichardOShea) reported@virginmedia I have a Virgin TV V6 Box with lots of tivo recordings. I received an email today stating that I need to upgrade as my v6 service will stop soon. Please advise when, so I can plan ahead. Thanks.
-
Game of the People (@GameofthePeople) reported@virginmedia is the Clients Support Team a bona fida Virgin media account?
-
Davie G 🇬🇧 (@fredbeare) reportedDo @EE have any actual humans, other than those on commission in sales, working for them? Almost as bad as Virgin Media, certainly worse than @BT who seemed to have taken the worst from both companies and merged. Are there no good comms companies out there?
