  • Ant_Johnson79 Anthony Johnson 🇾🇪 🇾🇪 🇾🇪 (@Ant_Johnson79) reported from Oldham, England

    @SlaveJamesW @brooksy_79 @DisneyPlusUK @virginmedia I decided after several attempts to contact virgin customer services to cancel the installation. Very poor service and wasnt worth the stress

  • mooseandme1 Moose And Me (@mooseandme1) reported from Great Harwood, England

    @virginmedia you’ve sent me an outrageous bill with £35 in charges that you said you were waiving. Non of your call centres are open (undertandably) I cant get text support & there’s no other help available. You are going to bill me £120 for a £50 service and I can stop you.

  • das2112a David shore (@das2112a) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia well, well, well. I haven't wasted my time for a while complaining about the shocking 9mths we spent with you 2nd rate awful company. However the news shows you are clearly still a shockingly poor company!

  • DizzSukha Dizz Sukha (@DizzSukha) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia All signals are working. My issue is I have been paying for anonymous call rejection for a few years and it has not been working since last year. I have rang up many times and still not fixed. I have been paying for this service even though it is not working!

  • Mozza0705 Morris (@Mozza0705) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia broadband is completely down!!!

  • Mozza0705 Morris (@Mozza0705) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia so I upgraded to 200mb yesterday and today I can’t get a service at all!! £42 well spent NOT!!!!!!!

  • storm_imaging Craig Cooke (@storm_imaging) reported from Bolton, England

    Just had a call from @virginmedia - yep right. Saying my broadband was slow because of files being downloaded without my knowledge blah blah. When I said I don’t have Virgin Media broadband was informed that all the internet in my area goes through their servers...😩

  • AdamConlon10 ADAM @ independent media wolves (@AdamConlon10) reported from Middleton, England

    @BTSportBoxing and @virginmedia sort your dam sound problem otherwise I will be demanding a refund on my box office charge!! #FuryWilder2

  • djbowers14 D J Bowers (@djbowers14) reported from Great Harwood, England

    Moved from @skytv to @virginmedia after 8 years and being a VIP customer with Sky. Poor service and a huge increase in price. Lost a longstanding customer. Now to try Virgin Media and see how this goes.

  • DavidLaney ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Please message me re: new generation V6 box faults. No Netflix, recordings will not play, very slow. Please DON’T tell me to switch off/on or re-boot. Thanks.

  • tadhg50 Tim O'Ryan (@tadhg50) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia @BabakGanjei Tried this number-no broadband in the OL4 area for over 24 hours and lots of tweets went to @virginmedia to suggest not individual- and got informed ‘there are no reported issues in your area’. C’mon now VM. Texted the other number too-still no response!! Not a good service peeps

  • R1chardHughes pɹɐɥɔıᴚ 🇾🇪 (@R1chardHughes) reported from Rochdale, England

    When Virgin Media replies quicker and is actively trying to help the #Fifa20 player base whilst @EAFIFADirect @EASPORTSFIFA haven't done a thing about it yet... #EASPORTSFIFA20 #easportsfifa #fifadown

  • martyn_driver Martyn The Driver (@martyn_driver) reported from Rochdale, England

    @virginmedia after 23 year and 20 months of being a cable customer in various names I have just cancelled my subscription. You are offering new customers some very good deals yet I am not allowed them. I know your broadband is quicker but I don't need it.

  • Andy666666 Andrea Colley (@Andy666666) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia OL4 2SZ internet back on devices BUT NOT ON TV HELP PLEASE

  • MATTYB00SH 𝕄𝔸𝕋𝕋𝕐𝔹𝕆𝕆𝕊ℍ (@MATTYB00SH) reported from Burnley, England

    Switching broadband providers from Virgin Media to Sky is proving to be such a bad decision while trying to work from home these last 5 weeks. Multiple connection drops every morning. It's a poor situation when tethering to your phone data is far more reliable. @SkyHelpTeam

  • btownofficial_ officialBtown (@btownofficial_) reported from Rawtenstall, England

    @virginmedia why is it taking so long to sort out the fifa issue it’s *************** everyone who are on VM and want to play futchamps why can’t you give us a time scale on when it should be ready @NepentheZ @Itshaber @Marshall89HD

  • Ant_Johnson79 Anthony Johnson 🇾🇪 🇾🇪 🇾🇪 (@Ant_Johnson79) reported from Oldham, England

    @SlaveJamesW @brooksy_79 @DisneyPlusUK @virginmedia No because how poor they was when I needed ****. Heard loads of bad not much good. Stayed with sky, wasnt worth the stress of changing esp with all this going on

  • tadhg50 Tim O'Ryan (@tadhg50) reported from Oldham, England

    @BurtLeach @virginmedia Same here -in OL4 area too! Got an email last night saying the issue was fixed-it wasn’t and still no BB today. 24 hours now. Using personal data for work purposes now. C’mon VM.

  • ThatPavaldo SocialiteAppetite 🌹 (@ThatPavaldo) reported from Bury, England

    @JDenebe @virginmedia @EASPORTSFIFA I have the same problem and I am with Virgin media

  • SamMcCartney Sam McCartney (@SamMcCartney) reported from Rawtenstall, England

    @Craig273 @virginmedia No. I just want to cancel sky sports as for £31.75 a month I don’t get the use out of it. I was lied to saying it would affect my package discount. I already get BT sport for free and if Amazon will be streaming more it’s pointless

  • unit_1974 🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England

    @ChrisScottBtn I’m fed up of this process year on year with an ongoing problematic service. Three complaints, two left unanswered. And then the onus is on you to chase! I cannot be bothered with them anymore. That’s the level customer service I’ve come to expect from @virginmedia now.

  • scottyboy1973 Scott Brindley (@scottyboy1973) reported from Poplar, England

    @CantSwingACat @bt_uk You should try Virgin Media! Don't forget you're entitled to Ofcom compensation if the has been a total loss of service for over 24 hrs I.e If their Infrastructure is at fault #poorcustomerservice

  • onemistert Mr T (@onemistert) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia We have engineer visit today so hopefully they can resolve. However it is vertically impossible to get to speak to one of your agents. That is really not good customer service. I tried to have the online chat on a weekday btw sonshould have been available after 6

  • LSandersonbooks Lesley Sanderson (@LSandersonbooks) reported from Islington, England

    @leepg @virginmedia I have this same problem @virginmedia rebooting doesn't solve the problem

  • clairewoods93 Claire Lock (@clairewoods93) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia Done all of this, nothing works, the check my status is useless as it says there’s no broadband issues but when I ring up I’m told there is.

  • 1011FOXEE beverley fox (@1011FOXEE) reported from Takeley, England

    @virginmedia regarding your tweet I have contacted parcel company we have to wait 24 hours,lied and said neighbour had it,I was outside collecting online groceries shortly before message received,also daughter tracked driver and he was all over,first down the road then 4 miles!

  • Freddie_Owusu77 Freddie AFC Owusu (@Freddie_Owusu77) reported from Tottenham, England

    @virginmedia @VirginMediaCorp @VMDotCom Virgin are a bunch of lying thieves and would not recommend anybody signing a contract, once they get you in they start treating you like crap.

  • textmaniaa Tracey Brooks (@textmaniaa) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia what's the point in sending a letter stating if yr service hasn't resumed by 5pm ring this number. When they shut at 5pm. Poor service again from virgin media. Nearly 8pm and still no tele or broadband. What a joke of a company.

  • philippat Philippa Taylor (@philippat) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia good customer service , they asked if they could ring me back in 15 mins due to his PC not working , now 2.5 hours later and I am still waiting , tried ringing them back and been on hold for 28 mins now 😡

  • dougmorton Doug (@dougmorton) reported from Ealing, England

    Annoys me way more than it should that Virgin... sorry, LNER call their class 800s “Azumas” and the media are treating them as something new, when class 800s have been in operation on the GWML since 2017, just without a stupid brand name.
