    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

  • AndrewKerrison6
    Andrew Kerrison (@AndrewKerrison6) reported from Rotherham, England

    @virginmedia To box not working. Got it sorted now but not happy with been miss sold a package I didn't need then had to waste more time on the phone to cancel it

  • Helen_Claire71
    Helen-Claire Stone (@Helen_Claire71) reported 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.

    Anyone recommend a phone network been with @O2 for years and since it merged with @virginmedia it’s shocking. When I went on holiday before I’d never had problems this year wouldn’t let me go my own internet & here signal keeps going for phoning not to mention rise in scam calls

    Chirpy Frances (@chirpyfrances) reported from Wakefield, England

    Been through 16 mths of lockdown, 3 working from home & hardly a glitch on the broadband. Last 8wks its gone down for several minutes a day between 10am and 1pm. Only on weekdays & its supposed to be a problem with our hub, really? An engineer could find it @virginmedia #shoddy

    @virginmedia were there issues in S9 around 1020 this morning?

  • 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

  • annie7hudds
    anne l (@annie7hudds) reported from Fenay Bridge, England

    @virginmedia what’s going on with internet service in HD8 area ? I don’t want to have to wait 23 hours before calling a technician as advised by your service page

  • giinagii
    GiinaGii 🐱🌿 (@giinagii) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia So you're telling me to be without stable /any Internet for at least 3-5 days and that is okay and acceptable? No. We work from home. You need to fix this.

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

    @virginmedia It’s strange because the online help claims there’s no problem but the phone says there’s a major problem in the area. Perhaps the online help needs updating because it’s no help at all

  • Koko__Johnson

    @virginmedia hello, my grandmother is having issues with her TiVo Box, she's checked the cables and I've been online to check for service outage, and there's isn't any reported Can you help?

  • Mcollinson72
    Michael Collinson (@Mcollinson72) reported from Wakefield, England

    Slow glad to be moving from @virginmedia broadband this Friday. Their advertised speeds used to be unparalleled but since FTTP alternatives becoming available their appalling level of service and refusal to acknowledge or deal with faults has forced a once loyal customer

  • 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

    Virgin Media have the worst customer service in the world

    @virginmedia It's always broadband issue in Mansfield Uk almost every month 2 or 3 days why I am paying bill if always has the issues so NOT RECOMMENDED FOR ANY NEW USER go with another broadband services

  • philbigdog
    Cmdr Anaander Miaani (@philbigdog) reported

    @virginmedia my neighbour has Gigabit fibre with you, their house is 20 feet from mine yet you claim I cannot be connected to the network. Please contact me on how I can fix this ludicrous error.

  • ravipal1214
    Ravi Pal (@ravipal1214) reported

    Your agent kept asking what resolution I wanted, then offered £5. Twice I was reminded how cheap my package is — that others pay £50-60, that pods cost £10-15 elsewhere, that I’m getting them free. I didn’t set the price. A discount on a service that doesn’t work is still service that doesn’t work. Then I was told no manager or grievance contact exists, and that I should cancel. @virginmedia — who owns this?

  • WinnyOgden
    Mark P (@WinnyOgden) reported

    @biggle1908 Avoid virgin media like the plague. Appalling customer service.

  • kateandhergirls
    Kate and her girls (@kateandhergirls) reported

    @virginmedia Your chat colleague already looked into it and was incredibly rude and basically said tough you’re an existing customer on a contract and we don’t help our loyal customers, just new ones 🙄

  • NC20023
    Rob Cur (@NC20023) reported

    @O2 why oh why have you made it so damned difficult to login to my account now that Virgin Media are involved ! All I want to do is login to my account the old fashioned way without the need to check my email, return to the original page etc…..

  • wfc2000uk
    pat (@wfc2000uk) reported

    @LutzSchueler @virginmedia of urgency, it’s happened quite a few times over last few years, I been a customer for 20 years now. Your customer service said need to £700, cancellation fee. Which I’m not willing to pay. I look forward to your reply.

    @virginmedia need help, this online #whattsapp group is dire

  • PeteSamuels5
    Pete Samuels (@PeteSamuels5) reported

    @DorzetRob @Artemisapphire Ditto here. We're between 3 towns. Sod all signal. Had to get 'wi-fi calling' on the mobile phones, to make mobile calls via the broadband. Smarty seems to work OK. Old copper land line now shut off by Virgin Media.

    Joe Duley American voiceover person (@Americanvoiceo1) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia AGAIN! All services-completely out! No explanation (although app says 'everything is fine') It's deceitful info. No BB OR phone. CANNOT ring customer service-at all. Now my life's mission is to escalate w/ CISAS because it's costing me financially/professionally. SMH
