    @virginmedia somethings never change, £21 price increase can’t get you good customer service. Complaint logged for the second time, will I get response this time? 🤔

  • guyrleech

    @virginmedia I tried that and that’s how I got stuck in this situation. Is there a number I can call that is DIRECT for a complaint?

  • HarlamTK
    Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported from Wombwell, England

    @virginmedia How do I open a complaint then, because I’m still stuck on the phone with her and she is refusing to let me make my complaint.

  • 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

  • Koko__Johnson
    koko 🌻 (@Koko__Johnson) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia broadband service has dropped out in Sheffield (s5) any know issues or reasons why this has happened. Service checker isn’t giving any information

  • 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

  • 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

  • mandybaps1
    Amanda Brightmore (@mandybaps1) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Useless you haven't addressed my points. I will go directly to the managing director Lutz Schueler. Really disappointed and I woukd have expected better considering I have been a loyal customer.

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

  • HarlamTK
    Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported from Wombwell, England

    @virginmedia I’m trying to resolve an issue with your collections team regarding an incorrect default and because I no longer bank with the same account and do not have those details, they won’t talk to me, yet they are happy to just take money off me without telling me why. It’s disgusting

  • pidgpie
    Chris,,,, (@pidgpie) reported from Rotherham, England

  • AnnielizzieSten
    Rt. Hon Annie (@AnnielizzieSten) reported from Sheffield, England

    @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

    @virginmedia Getting fed up of my Broadband speed dropping. Others in the Gateford area of Worksop are saying the same. Kindly rectify whatever is wrong please. I do not pay you for slow speeds!

  • wendyhemsworth
    wendyh (@wendyhemsworth) reported

    @virginmedia our internet is down as is our neighbours. Online it says issue with our hub but followed all instructions and still says issue. Online says no outages but both ours and neighbours are down. They have engineer booked for tomorrow but I need internet now

  • Peerabeee
    TB (@Peerabeee) reported

    @virginmedia I am paying for a service you cannot deliver. Multiple failed engineer visits (Dec 24, Jan 22) & internet is still broken. Now you demand an illegal cancellation fee? Formal complaint raised: C-010626172 (Yeliz Guven Bilgin). @Ofcom #VirginMedia #Ofcom #Broadband

    Sadie~Jane (@sadiejane29) reported

    @virginmedia I was meant to get a call back over 2 weeks ago from Maddie. Still waiting 🤔 Clearly saw the state of the complain & decided you couldn't be bothered. Every time my mum has rang, you have documented it as something completely different. Terrible service really 😑

  • firth_graham
    Graham FIrth 🇬🇧💙💛🤍🐕 (@firth_graham) reported

    Thanks @virginmedia for cancelling installation due today with less than 24 hours notice. Great you think it’s acceptable to now leave me for 2 weeks with no working from home or security cameras. Customer services can’t be bothered to call back, guess I’m leaving before joining

  • pwmcomms
    Paul W Mitchell (@pwmcomms) reported

    Upgraded to new @virginmedia box. Wish I hadn't. Streaming requires more logins than before, main box has to be on elsewhere in the house to delete recordings and pushed all manner of crap shows. Off to look at alternatives

  • SteveHilditch
    Steve Hilditch (@SteveHilditch) reported

    Well done virginmedia. ‘Intermittent signal in your area’ during the penalty shoot out of the champions league final. Missed most of it. Not impressed.

  • LonelyLondoner
    Chezza O (@LonelyLondoner) reported

    @virginmedia if I had a dollar for every time I lost network. The router just goes off? What is this? I mean what is the point of this? Run me my refund please

  • benev91
    Ben Evans (@benev91) reported

    @virginmedia we have been without internet for a week now. Rinsed through mobile data. Fix date apparently (4th date given) now on 3rd June. We have received compensation but an easy fix would’ve been to give us unlimited data on our mobiles (both with o2) for the month.
