  • stephraim83 Steven E Whittaker (@stephraim83) reported from Chorley, England

    Dear @virginmedia I'm not one to complain, however in this instance I feel I have to. I've been paying over the odds for your service for 6 years now... with only a few issues. 3 week ago my services just stopped working, bizarrely after I'd payed for pay per view...

  • stephraim83 Steven E Whittaker (@stephraim83) reported from Chorley, England

    @virginmedia Sorry @virginmedia I don't wanna complain but your engineer has just left, my services still aren't working I rang customer services and they fobbed me off. They said said we're closing soon so ring back tomo. Not good enough.

  • stefaniantiques Stefani Antiques (@stefaniantiques) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I rang support yesterday and they said an ongoing issue that could take up to a week and when I follow your link it says no known issues. #mixedmessages

  • sandras_smith Sandra SmithMND (@sandras_smith) reported from St Helens, England

    @Danielle869 @virginmedia I agree. The service my 85 year old dad received was appalling. Moved to Sky, when @virginmedia asked how they could keep custom, our reply “ wouldn’t have if it was free”.

    @virginmedia @SLK1971PNE Patience! Too late now it is half time ! What a shoddy service and obscene with the vast profits you make. Lots of refunds needed.

    @virginmedia I haven't been able to sign in to my Virginia media for years so complete waste of time Time to sack you lot off

  • TerryBpne Terry Brooks (@TerryBpne) reported from Walton le Dale, England

    @virginmedia @SLK1971PNE The whole country cant access the Championship game via the red button. Problem not anyones equipment, your issue only. Sort it out, people subscribe just for this. Appalling customer service.

  • Jonesj1988 Jonesy (@Jonesj1988) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia what’s going on with your customer service line the waiting times are ridiculous!!!! I only need to give you a pac number to get my number transferred why am I regretting switching providers already haven’t even got started yet 😡

  • Sauber_Dave David Kelly (@Sauber_Dave) reported from Maghull, England

    @virginmedia That was just a number to check if there were any known issues in my area. Not very helpful.

  • TerryBpne Terry Brooks (@TerryBpne) reported from Walton le Dale, England

    @virginmedia @CowburnMarc @virginmedia you know this is not working so why send out standard template reply. Customers pay fortunes for this, action required and money refunds needed.

    @virginmedia Staggering customer service. I can't be compensated for the installation of my broadband being installed because I don't have a service with you!

  • nealk87 Neal (@nealk87) reported

    @virginmedia @offctnmb I have had the same issue for days now. Works fine on tv (which I'm currently unable to use as I'm not at home) but I'm unable to log into Sky Sports with my Virgin credentials. It's always given this message the first attempts but worked on the second try. Until now.

  • inspectortooth kenneth combes (@inspectortooth) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve tried phoning. I either can’t get through or are out on hold then cut off! I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the sky sports app several times but to no avail. Sky tell me it’s a Virgin problem.

  • nucleardevice02 Dave Beckers (@nucleardevice02) reported

    @virginmedia OOMPH customer your app says call789 and I can get a next day engineer booked. Followed your help guide and reset everything, she run test and said there is an issue but I have to wait 24hrs, if there is still an issue to call back and an engineer call will then be booked.
