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

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

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia That checker like my service doesn't work

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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 ?

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

    @virginmedia 7 days and still no @O2 resolution

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

    @virginmedia @Virgin Terrible service

  • HarlamTK 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Zacnaloen Chris Baker (@Zacnaloen) reported

    @GSpellchecker @virginmedia BT was the quickest option i had been working from home on mobile in a weak 4g signal area and desperate, I really need fibre due to the work I do but I'm basically ****** waiting until last In the line because my area is low priority due to already technically being a fibre area

  • Davidcowie1967 david cowie (@Davidcowie1967) reported

    @virginmedia unbelievable I raised a complaint at 10:25 this morning and you closed it within 30 mins saying resolved without contacting me shocking service yet again!!

  • GSpellchecker Stephen Knight 🎙️ (@GSpellchecker) reported

    I've just given my 30 days notice for my @virginmedia broadband, TV and landline. The mobile phone will be next as soon as my contract is up. Currently working on moving banks too since Virgin bought out my bank. That's where appalling customer service gets you.

  • Stapylton79 J (@Stapylton79) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. Is there a number to speak to a person please? I’ve been through all the options to get my broadband working but it’s still showing as no internet. Help please!!

  • Zacnaloen Chris Baker (@Zacnaloen) reported

    @GSpellchecker @virginmedia I was supposed to have a new line connected to my house thats in a vpm area but never connected, customer for 10 years but moved house. They kept me waiting 2 months, ****** up the survey twice and then on the day finally they were due to do the work "its too expensive, bye"

  • leamingtonpete peter davis (@leamingtonpete) reported

    @virginmedia service down AGAIN. Yet website says nothing is wrong. Honestly you are a shambles.

  • FarewellToHexes A Farewell To Hexes (@FarewellToHexes) reported

    @GSpellchecker @virginmedia I left Virgin too, not for bad service, but just on price. I actually left and got BT installed. Then a *lovely* man from Virgin rang and dropped my bill to almost nothing, so I switched them back on, and left BT as I was still in the cooling off period.

  • CertifiedProIT Mohammed Chaudhry (@CertifiedProIT) reported

    my @virginmedia broadband connection has been very poor this past month, but over the last few days it has been terrible. i have been tethering my mobile phone connection as i don't have time to call you & run checks as i have work to do!! can't you see the problem at your end?!

  • t3ddybaker Terry Baker (@t3ddybaker) reported

    @virginmedia was promised a call back to speak about cancelling my package… you never called back so it’s finally all cancelled 🎉

  • therodders Kyle Hartigan (@therodders) reported

    @virginmedia Like I said, I do not want to call. It is always a pain phoning Virgin. There is an issue with your website not loading pages. I have reported it. If you don't want to fix it, that's fine. I can take my custom elsewhere
