    @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.

    @virginmedia No one has informed me of this, I feel I have been misold again very poor. No one mentioned this previously I have been told it was a new promotional that was added, so again alot of tosh. Does anyone know what they are doing at virgin.

    @PaulbernalUK @virginmedia It’s fine here but earlier in March we were left without any service for days at a time . The reason given was service upgrades. Ring them on 150 for an automated update

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia Broadband went back down for me around 16:30 and no internet etc and like others your website is still failing

    @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?

  • DeborahTaylor3
    Debbie 💜 🦋🦉 (@DeborahTaylor3) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia I hung up the call, rang back and spoke with a lovely man. Reset my email, password and answered all my quedtions. All the men are when you call, the female was awful. But thank you for the response

  • goonie2008
    Andrew Lee (@goonie2008) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia @O2 Its definitely you lot Robin as your broadband service was a disgrace when I moved to you and I had to pay out for cancelling contract early. If this is what’s to come O2 then you will a customer of over 15 years.

  • ClaireWinslade
    Claire 💙 (@ClaireWinslade) reported from Sheffield, England

    Moved to @virginmedia on Monday and router didn’t come. Then when it came Wednesday the internet wouldn’t connect. After 7 phone calls and an engineer called out it’s still not working 😡 and it seems if you are on hold for too long they just cut you off. So frustrating

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

    @virginmedia I do need assistance over why the 4G backup didn't kick in when I had an outage last week but I've raised that with you already, I hope

  • 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

    @virginmedia on hold for 40 mins so far just to get you to cancel a service I don't even want 🤬

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

  • EJJFoster
    Ed Foster (@EJJFoster) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia I have tried the status but its saying the service is fine. Yet all the people on out estate are complaining they cannot get onto Virgin internet. We cannot book an engineer as isolating. Why is it constantly broken or speeds so slow?

    Tony Rumsey 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🐓🦅🚙🪵🐟 (@picklefork1965) reported

    @ryantegan @skytv My @virginmedia runs out end of September, £126 a month. They can shove their new deal. I only kept in the first place for the missus, but when she died last year I couldn’t wait for it to run down and I could bin it. So damned expensive.

  • 4peterborough

    @virginmedia I love it when these people say DM us but your account is restricted everyone must be having the same problem with your update, look into it and get back to me

  • HARRItheAI
    H.A.R.R.I The AI (@HARRItheAI) reported

    Virgin Media have really gone downhill. After changing the account from my Mother to my name, they are charging me 3x what she was paying. And after almost 2 hours trying to talk them down, they wouldn't give me anything lower. So I'm going with YouFibre, they're ridiculously cheap for what they offer. Hopefully they're as reliable and speedy as they're touting.

    @virginmedia what’s going on with your WIFI in EN9 1LD postcode? The services has been terrible for weeks, constantly dropping in and out! I pay allot of money for my broadband and the service your supplying is terrible

    @virginmedia hello, seem to be having some drops in our broadband over the last 48 hours. I’ve followed all steps to reset, unplug etc but still not working as intended. Any help please? Thank you.

    @coophos @virginmedia It’s terrible isn’t it.

  • Yvie777
    Yvie777 (@Yvie777) reported

    @virginmedia I am still waiting for my refund, despite multiple phone calls where you assured me it would be processed. I have yet to receive it. This experience confirms my decision to leave due to your poor customer service and unresolved issues.

    @virginmedia It’s been sorted now, four weeks after two men from comex2000 dropped a heavy metal manhole onto our Internet connections You need to sort out your customer service, cause it’s absolutely dreadful. I told them that the 2 men had ruined this connection, but no one took any notice
