  Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reported 7 minutes ago 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 8 minutes ago 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

  @virginmedia hi virgin can you explain why you've referred me to a debt collection agency after I cancelled my service within 14 days snd returned equipment as it was a failed install and was advised I wouldn't be charged ? You also luckily never cancelled my sky .

  @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.

  Debbie 💜 🦋🦉 (@DeborahTaylor3) reported 21 minutes ago 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

  Andy Kershaw Media 🎙 (@andyksheffield) reported 28 minutes ago 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.

  Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported 31 minutes ago 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

  lettiebella🦉🇬🇧 (@lettielou05) reported 33 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

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

• 
  Helen-Claire Stone (@Helen_Claire71) reported 33 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @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.

• 
  Nick Lawton (@Pontemiller) reported 42 minutes ago from Knottingley, England

  I think very soon I'll be saying 👋 to @ThreeUK and 🤝 to @virginmedia...over the last couple of years, the signal has got increasingly worse. I have just bought a new phone, but the problem persists...really unhappy.

  Virgin Media have the worst customer service in the world

  Andy M (@AndyM50760310) reported 45 minutes ago from Dewsbury, England

  @virginmedia Help please. Tried to resolve wirh 3 members of your overseas Call Centre and was promised a call back. I can’t access my account.

  Simon Day (@SiDay14) reported 48 minutes ago from Dewsbury, England

  @virginmedia Did you even read the thread?? Now you want me to complain about an issue I’ve complained about several times already? The whole point is your pathetic response to issues!

• 
  Gary Fretwell (@GaryFretwell1) reported 48 minutes ago 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

  Ryan Wilson (@rywilnot) reported 56 minutes ago 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

• 
  Prof Maddy Arden (@maddyarden) reported 59 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia our broadband down without warning and service update says you hope to fix this by 5th April! Why so long? We rely on this for work - unacceptable

  Amanda Brightmore (@mandybaps1) reported 59 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia I've emailed MD and they called me within the hour and sorted my issue out within 10 minutes. You should be ashamed of yourselves

  Virgin Media are so stupid. They are taking my money but say that i dont have an account with them. Only been with them for 20 years.

• 
  andrea stevenson (@AngeStevenson) reported 8 minutes ago

  @virginmedia hi! I keep getting a message saying to upgrade my virgin box to get sky Atlantic - is it easy to install myself, is it a case of using the same wires as my existing box so a quick change over? Also my internet is often very poor, I assume this won’t affect the box?

• 
  CMDR Andy Fireblade Muza (@andymuza) reported 8 minutes ago

  @virginmedia why is it when a contract ends you remove all previous offers instead of automatically giving the loyal customer the best offer you can do? Also why don't you contact the customer about it instead of just increasing their price by a large amount. What a joke.

  Andrew palmer (@palmer606) reported 9 minutes ago

  @virginmedia ur service is poor and as for ur customer services/ help is even worse, tried for 3 nights to call = no answer and online help is rubbish as soon as up for renewal I’ll be off to @skytv

  kyle (@kyle_llooppyy) reported 9 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I can’t get through on the phone I need help!

  CrankyGeek (@pepetideo) reported 10 minutes ago from Oxford, England

  You only know how sitty a service provider relly is when something goes wrong. Was with @virginmedia for over 5 years. Now that i decided to leave they have charged me for 2 months with me already with another provider. After complaining they take 2 months to refund you and now that i sent them their router they somehow misplaced it and charged me 40 quid saying i didnt send it (even thought i had a call last week where i gave them the receipt) If you are their customer.. Get out as soon as possible and remember to block the direct debits. They cannot be trusted with your money.

  Aidan Costello (@aidan_codtello) reported 11 minutes ago

  @entrustTMF @virginmedia Needless to say neither of us have ever seen the £50. I had terrible broadband from them for many years and don't know why I was foolish enough to go back.

  @virginmedia & @O2 are the two worst companies ever to deal with. Absolutely shocking service.!! 🖕🖕

  PMAC (@BigPaul91) reported 11 minutes ago

  @virginmedia My connect keeps cutting out for 30 seconds to 5 mins due the signal one engineer said it was interference on the line the one yesterday said nope couldn’t see it … my entire 2026s relationship with Virgin/O2 has been a disaster
