  • ollieinleeds Oliver Dean #TeamLH (@ollieinleeds) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia How can can I get hold of you to cancel the TV service and complain about the repeated loss of service on the broadband that is financially impacting me working from home. No answer on the phone, no reply to any form of contact. #disgusting

  • Jamesro17879287 Jamesrodgers (@Jamesro17879287) reported from Castleford, England

    @virginmedia what’s the best way of contacting your customer service, every time I ring I’m on hold for over an hour. 2 months without the internet speeds I’m paying for now.

  • afallenknight17 Noah Wilde (@afallenknight17) reported from Bradford, England

    Having issues in the BD2 area with broadband @virginmedia. I work from home and the internet is vital to doing my job. Your site says no errors in my area but have tried all fixes and nothing works.

  • KevinHylton1 Professor Emeritus Kevin Hylton PhD (@KevinHylton1) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia @debzholmric I’ve spoken to ...7(!) of your customer service staff this evening. 2 dropped the call, most passed me on. None resolved a simple mobile phone issue. This last one (7.44pm) has ‘gone to consult a co-worker...’. (Complete silence now 59 mins in) What kind of service is this?!

  • uLtImAtE_hAzArD UH Modz 🇬🇧 #NoCrew 🇵🇱 (@uLtImAtE_hAzArD) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia wtf all dat have issue with network gone back all day

  • PenningtonJ1978 Jamie Pennington (@PenningtonJ1978) reported from Rothwell, England

    @virginmedia Seems like other people are having the same problem John! Poor. Let’s hope it works later!

  • LaurenAxox Lauren Amy (@LaurenAxox) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia can you explain why LS12 is still down after advising it was weekend works? I need to work from home but currently can’t

  • karls2121 Karla (@karls2121) reported from Leeds, England

    Feel like it's only fair to tweet about positive customer service too, so thanks Jake @virginmedia for calling to explain last months issue and reimburse for 3 weeks no internet 👏👏👏

  • gemma_houlston Gemma Houlston (@gemma_houlston) reported from Wibsey, England

    @virginmedia I’ve rung 3 times now and the phones been put down on me when I’ve given my postcode. Can someone contact me please? 😡😡😡

  • charlottegrifff charlotte griffiths (@charlottegrifff) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @comparemkt_care hi, i ordered a wifi package with virgin media through you yesterday and part of the deal was a £75 amazon gift voucher but i’m yet to receive it. can you help 😌

  • Surgeonsanj Sanjay Verma (@Surgeonsanj) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia Still absolutely no customer service whatsoever @MoneyTelegraph. Broadband still effectively useless. Such a pity Virgin media treats customers with such disdain.

  • LewisH90 Lewis H (@LewisH90) reported from Darton, England

    Stream down again because @virginmedia are incompetent! Catch you guys tomorrow if they can manage to sort it.

  • Surgeonsanj Sanjay Verma (@Surgeonsanj) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia Tried this and nothing but an automated service which is no help whatsoever.

  • organised Shay (@organised) reported from Wakefield, England

    @daveyp @virginmedia Fortunes have been made on default settings and **** like this — though honestly I would happily move somewhere just to get virgin again.

  • Surgeonsanj Sanjay Verma (@Surgeonsanj) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia I have had no communication at all from Virgin Media so I am not even ware that you have logged the issue, nor even that you are doing anything about it. Presumably you will be refunding me for the days where I continue to effectively have no useful internet? @MoneyTelegraph

  • LaurenAxox Lauren Amy (@LaurenAxox) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia outage in LS12 - can’t find an update as to when the works will be done - can you advise as I’m supposed to do work from home and currently can’t

  • jaymzzb James Brook Photography (@jaymzzb) reported from Brighouse, England

    @virginmedia any idea of when service will be up and running again? It went down last night at midnight for maintenance and is still down? HD6 area.

  • Surgeonsanj Sanjay Verma (@Surgeonsanj) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia I’m hearing that you have given October 12th as an estimated fix date! Do you seriously think that is acceptable? Should I not work until then?!

  • petershaw1984 peter shaw (@petershaw1984) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @virginmedia i have an appointment for someone to come to my house tomorow to fix my hub. Recieved this message today. Replied NO but they replied as if i had said yes. Can u confirm if someone will still attend my property or not.

  • urbancool Shane Kavanagh (@urbancool) reported from Huddersfield, England

    @virginmedia new equipment delivered. Old equipment deactivated. New service doesn’t work. 90+ min call to support to be told someone will come back to me within 21 working days. TWENTY ONE WORKING DAYS and I’m paying £84 a month for what exactly?

  • deepblue1990 Daniel C 🎮 (@deepblue1990) reported

    @virginmedia Still bad. I've actually managed to be placed on hold now but I've had at least 4-5 days of disruption, with no compensation in sight.

  • CornetHooray Harry Scott (@CornetHooray) reported

    @OwenJones84 @virginmedia @JeremyVineOn5 Could be a neighbour using the same signal channel. Routers detect other networks and select a free channel automatically on 1st use but no-one remembers to reset them when they move house. You can log into your router and manually switch channels, or just reset it with a pin.

  • NoviceNovelista Novice Novelista Ⓥ (@NoviceNovelista) reported

    @virginmedia helloooo. I need to cancel and getting through to your call centre is impossible. Perhaps you can help?

  • lesley130182 Lesley Nelson (@lesley130182) reported

  • ManjitGillTSSA Manjit Gill (@ManjitGillTSSA) reported

    @OwenJones84 @virginmedia @JeremyVineOn5 Had many issues with Virgin Media and their customer service is totally rubbish - unable to contact them for the last 3 months to rectity issues - i wont be renewing my contract..

  • curri0123 Iain Currier (@curri0123) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, do you offer technical support fit blue yonder email? My incoming emails work on my phone, but have stopped working on my PC. It will not accept the imap settings.

  • RavWilding Rav Wilding (@RavWilding) reported

    @OwenJones84 @virginmedia @JeremyVineOn5 Do you have two options ie a 2:4 and a 5? If so that tends to help at times if mine plays up

  • talkstoooomuch Kevin Loquacious (@talkstoooomuch) reported

    @SoozUK Virgin Media customer here. Can confirm this is true.

  • JJBergkamp10 JJ B (@JJBergkamp10) reported

    @OwenJones84 @virginmedia @JeremyVineOn5 Sounds like an issue with your router Owen. I had a to get mine replaced due to a similar issue. Are you seeing any symbols appear on the front of the V6 television box?

  • SamiaMeahPhoto Samia Meah (@SamiaMeahPhoto) reported

    After the internet being on and off yesterday, my internet is completely down for the entire day, during the most pivotal time for small business owners and during a world wide pandemic and double dip recession. Are you kidding @virginmedia ?! I am appalled at your service
