  • cathgray23
    Catherine Gray (@cathgray23) reported from Horbury, England

    @virginmedia We discussed the Oomph package which I initially agreed to then changed my mind within the 14 days, informed the customer service guy, by phone, text and email, he said he would cancel. The engineer came and documented that TV had been refused and therefore didn’t install

  • 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

  • EJJFoster
    Ed Foster (@EJJFoster) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia hi is there an issue in wakefield with the broadband? It has been off all afternoon. Constantly on the blink!!

  • hoppywba
    Hoppywba (@hoppywba) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia great to see you hiked my price and the service is worse. And before you say it yes I have reset my box , that's all you ever say 🤬🤬

  • SiDay14
    Simon Day (@SiDay14) reported 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!

  • a8dullah_mulla
    Abdullah Mulla (@a8dullah_mulla) reported from Heckmondwike, England

    @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? 🤔

  • kaw7676
    Karen Walsh (@kaw7676) reported from Normanton, England

    @virginmedia it’s impossible to contact them with a complaint if you aren’t a customer.

  • 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

  • jamiewhalley87
    Jamie Whalley (@jamiewhalley87) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia I have been trying to get through to your cancellations department since Saturday. In total, I have been on hold for 3 hours. 1 hour intervals before you cut me off. Your txt service is SH*T. Your agent introduced himself as working for Three, before he disconnected

  • KamalSh03012772
    Kamal Sharma (@KamalSh03012772) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia Hi in LS28 7TU vigin services are down. We have no phone, TV channel services. It is giving v53 error code. Can you please sort this out. Thanks

  • jmyorks
    Just Music Yorkshire 🎵 (@jmyorks) reported from Garforth, England

    @virginmedia do I get an award. Nine hours and counting on chat just clocked up and not one inch forward despite being passed from one wrong department to another when asked for customer services at 9.05am and have been through every department but then

  • Gav_Leaf
    Gav Leaf (@Gav_Leaf) reported from Castleford, England

    @virginmedia £55 a month JUST for Internet from April? Been a customer for over 20 years when it was £20 a month. Loyalty just gets you taken advantage of I guess.

  • Carlianleeds
    LUFC is Life ⚽️ (@Carlianleeds) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia But can deal with EASY problems on earth. You could literally offer me everything for FREE & Id still say no. Your company is going bust for a reason. Tell Branson you know how to fix it, tell him ‘our customer service is horrendous, we need to change’, then maybe VM will survive

  • Carlianleeds
    LUFC is Life ⚽️ (@Carlianleeds) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia Thread: you NEVER give me my own account details. I’ve repeatedly told you that the account was set up on my now exes email address. Without her, you won’t talk to me, but you have no problem taking £55 a month just for WiFi…… just WiFi! I’ve repeatedly asked you to update//

  • a8dullah_mulla
    Abdullah Mulla (@a8dullah_mulla) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @virginmedia well done 👏🏽 new way of resolving complaints! Offer a resolution that you know customer won’t accept so you can pass on to an adjudicator… all in a record time of 8mins!!!

  • 28gem
    Gem 💎 (@28gem) reported from Wakefield, England

    I have been trying since the 19th February to cancel my @virginmedia services. I can’t get through on the phone... ever! I’ve sent numerous messages which haven’t had any response.

  • 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

  • mariemillward
    Marie MIllward (@mariemillward) reported from Leeds, England

    @GrahamHyde @virginmedia This is the second such incident of abuse in a week and there have been several other calls. What makes them plausible is our internet service from Virgin is poor and they phone saying they are investigating a problem.

  • FranNamStyle
    FJG (@FranNamStyle) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia It says there's a problem with TV, which I dont seem to have, my problem is broadband is down.

  • vid_mitra8
    Vid (@vid_mitra8) reported from Leeds, England

    Virgin media is frustratingly slow. We pay around 33 each month. That’s more of what we pay for two months of internet, TV with all sports channels everything and Netflix, Disney and Amazon prime included. Might move back to India I swear.😭

    So @virginmedia after 15 years as a customer for broadband don’t deem you worthy of a recordable 360 box if you want to use them as a sole provider instead of Sky and only offer a streaming box that won’t work if your internet goes down. #AwfulCustomerService #Sky

  • gyoldsingleman
    oldman (@gyoldsingleman) reported

    @CliveR39 @virginmedia @virginmedia this problem is ongoing now for at least 10 days, I want to watch on tv not the app. I pay for this service!!! Why is it so difficult to resolve?

  • Chris4RAFC
    Chris4RAFC (@Chris4RAFC) reported

    @Smallworth_xx @virginmedia my son had the same problem but lucky he went to the Wycombe match on Saturday but tonight had to watch it via the sky sports app as he is with Virgin too, luckily I am with sky and could watch my team Saturday on the red button and i watched a game tonight and no issues

  • wheelslimshady_
    WHEELSlimShady ♿️ (@wheelslimshady_) reported

    @soarizard @elliviant Tbf mine is usually about £125, rn it’s down to like £76 but I also have tv package with Virgin Media. I have all the sports channels and so I do pay a lot, but I’m not sure how much my broadband is separately! But yes, mine WHEELY fast 🤘🏻🤓

  • RyanCartiers
    RyanCartier (@RyanCartiers) reported

    @virginmedia The delayed call back does not change corp. #customerservice practice or reduce long lead times plaguing @Bell - ANSWERING customer calls when called is needed. - Stopping the use of unproven AI. - Address consistent #customersupport deficiencies reported online.

    @GazzaAdams @virginmedia I've had them twice at two different addresses. They Internet was ALWAYS up and down. So unreliable. Never again.

  • adelux68
    Ade Luxton (@adelux68) reported

    @virginmedia @Smallworth_xx So how much are we getting off next Months bill as you charge us for a service you are not providing

  • Schmuley_Schlo
    Meersham (@Schmuley_Schlo) reported

    @heid_the_baw_ @virginmedia I chose plusnet because their customer service is good, never had much trouble been with them for years now after switching every couple of years

  • IainSankey
    Iain Sankey (@IainSankey) reported

    Appalled at Virgin Media @virginmedia I was paying £105 a month for a TV package and landline phone I never use. All I want is the broadband. So I try to fix this and get told that having the internet alone will cost more more than the 'improved' £65 contract for all 3 things!

  • JFab208
    johnhughes (@JFab208) reported

    @virginmedia @CliveR39 In the mean time you could go and watch the matcb in person despite the fact we’ve paid for a tv service you’re not providing
