  • Aidan1964 Aidan Carey (@Aidan1964) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia I'm a new customer and cannot access my account. I've spoken to your customer service team a number of times and they haven't been able to sort my issue out. My account is tagged as a secondary account, but I'm the primary account holder!

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

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

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

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia ongoing intermittent issues with my broadband for weeks now and yet your website gives no option to get through to anyone to help despite it promising to do so. Keeps telling me to check back in 24 hours. Unacceptable level of service!

  • victimsvoice73 Victims Voice (@victimsvoice73) reported from Sheffield, England

    That’s it after years of being with @O2 I nolonger trust you &neither can my parents on @virginmedia nextdoormy dad 79 yesterday &myself need a working phone no signal, calls when there is a signal ( although) notstrong dropping Medical assistance needed earlier &again no signal

  • popsgolf Andrew Poppleton 💙 (@popsgolf) reported from Wentworth, England

    @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?

  • 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.

  • 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

  • victimsvoice73 Victims Voice (@victimsvoice73) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Yes both mum n dad are virgin and we’re still getting no signal

  • 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.

  • victimsvoice73 Victims Voice (@victimsvoice73) reported from Sheffield, England

    Dad got rushed to hospital still in and @O2 connection is still not working in my house or mums @virginmedia mobile same problem (according to there test it’s fine) well try using it here especially when a loved one is ill and you can’t even connect a phone call &it’s a main road

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia awful and aggressive scare tactics from your not so friendly cancellations rep when trying to cancel my service. God help any vulnerable person that tries to do the same thing. Shameful

  • 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

    @virginmedia There were no known issues.

  • TechDevTom Tom Southworth (@TechDevTom) reported

    @virginmedia It's worth noting that after that message I got put through to customer relations, who never messaged back. And this has been the case for the last three days now. Do customer relations actually exist on your WhatsApp service?

  • JoeHankey71 Joe Hankinson (@JoeHankey71) reported

    raised a complaint, reference C-3101221349, about your completely shabby customer service and specifically requested that someone calls me. What did you do? Sent an email fobbing me off and suggested that if im not happy i should contact you by phone! Unbelievable @virginmedia

  • teabellyjohnson tony johnson (@teabellyjohnson) reported

    @virginmedia Branson should be stripped of his knighthood for the way he and his team treat customers! Lying to people, making it almost impossible to cancel subscriptions. Causing people anxiety! Way to go Richard!

  • ChocChocGirly81 Tasha, Miss Anxiety 🤎 (@ChocChocGirly81) reported

    @virginmedia Same old crap, check wires, unplug & restart the *** & still nothing that’s why it is now turned off for good.

  • DanielStorey23 Daniel Storey (@DanielStorey23) reported

    @virginmedia We had a technician out just before Xmas who told me the set up was great, put in a new hub to see if that helped, but the main problem was the cables run over the houses and get pulled tight on windy days.

  • petegoodrum Pete Goodrum (@petegoodrum) reported

    @virginmedia That is a secondary issue. The point is you seem unaware that when - as it does often - your service fails, there is no means of securing fast efficient help. But you take my money with fast and punctual efficiency.

  • mrflat Andy Cansell (@mrflat) reported

    @virginmedia I have been trying to speak to someone in order to register a fault with my WiFi. So far I have wasted 3 hrs today. I can only assume no advisers are available due to your poor service. How can I speak to someone?

  • AndyQuinn_Fire Andy Quinn (@AndyQuinn_Fire) reported

    So after calling @virginmedia in November to be disconnected because I never want anything to do with them again. They collect all of my equipment and confirm our contracts have ended. Only to find they have continued to bill me for 3 months. Ring today to ask what’s going on…

  • teabellyjohnson tony johnson (@teabellyjohnson) reported

    @virginmedia And no doubt you will end up, hanging on the end of a phone for hours on end, trying to make contact! That seems to be normal and certainly the case if you try to cancel your subscription!
