    @virginmedia @O2 Its definitely you lot Robin as your broadband service was a disgrace when I moved to you and I had to pay out for cancelling contract early. If this is what’s to come O2 then you will a customer of over 15 years.

  • 67BLADE Mark Bell (@67BLADE) reported from Chesterfield, England

    @virginmedia I have tried that text service for the last two days. ‘Terri BOT’ is no use. I need to speak to a real person . All that needs doing is the issue of a new bill without the £35 activation fee. This is becoming the worst decision I’ve ever made in relation to switching broadband

  • leannerains Leanne Rebecca (@leannerains) reported from Sheffield, England

    @SkyHelpTeam went to renew our sky package and they quote us £99 for new package deal bye bye sky il cancel our sky package and go somewhere else and maybe try @virginmedia #ripoff

  • John_murphy1 John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia how do I order a new hub please? My current one loses network access and needs rebooting every hour or so. Not ideal when working from home. There are no known service issues so I’m thinking it’s a hub issue.

  • ReeceBryan94 Reece Bryan (@ReeceBryan94) reported from Wombwell, England

    @virginmedia how do we get the new wifi extender pods or a new Virgin Hub? Our wifi signal and speed changes dramatically between the front and back of the house, the coverage is dreadful

  • whittickdiver paul whittick (@whittickdiver) reported from Sprotbrough, England

    @virginmedia after five years of custom you would rather me terminate my contract that provide me with the new router that you promised me as part of my new deal! Diabolical service!

  • Ray_Lennox Tom Clark (@Ray_Lennox) reported from Sheffield, England

  • peterboardman64 Peter Boardman (@peterboardman64) reported from Chesterfield, England

    @virginmedia no internet service in Chesterfield S40? What’s the problem?

  • 67BLADE Mark Bell (@67BLADE) reported from Barlborough, England

    @virginmedia I spoke to an advisor called Gillian from Sheffield and she escalated my numerous complaints on Saturday. Promised a manager call crack but I got nothing . It’s getting to the stage that the best course of action would be to cancel the lot but that won’t get my landline back

  • TheG0000ner Gooner (@TheG0000ner) reported from Chesterfield, England

    Is there something wrong with @virginmedia at the moment. Got a very very crap speed of less than 1mbs #virginmedia #virginmobile in the S40 area. Can't log into my account either? 🤬 This is happening far too often for £69 a month!!!

  • pidgpie Chris,,,, (@pidgpie) reported from Rotherham, England

  • cranworth791 Sam Millington (@cranworth791) reported from Rawmarsh, England

    @virginmedia Yeah that’s fine, or just a phone number / person to deal with? It’s my parents business and they have their property engineers coming out to view the issue on Monday. I assume they will be in touch themselves regarding the issues. Luckily it’s just rain water, and not sewage.

  • Sheffield_Boy Marc Riley (@Sheffield_Boy) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia got a flashing Internet light on router that won't go away so my WiFi (and therefore TV/ streaming etc) not working. Tried rebooting, resetting, the works. Online help / faq no help. Are there any issues?

  • John_murphy1 John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia No problem, and thank you for sorting it out quickly. May be worth making sure telephone staff tell customers about call out charges as I had no idea they applied in this situation.

  • steeleygash Gary Steele (@steeleygash) reported from Barnsley, England

  • bunnymaid bunny (@bunnymaid) reported

    Does anyone know if the @virginmedia hotspot service uses the same IP as the victim? $dayjob I see people who swear blind they have no android devices... with android malware and they are all Virgin customers. So if anyone can illuminate me, I would appreciate it.

  • pullks Pullks (@pullks) reported

    @HANCXCK @virginmedia Have you tried calling customer retention and telling them you’ve found a better offer? Worked for me when I used to only have the option of 1 decent provider

  • Huawei1952 Huawei (@Huawei1952) reported

    @virginmedia Still awaiting a email/text to say engineer has been booked 3rd November Customer service gets worse!

  • ArdynIV Ardyn (@ArdynIV) reported

    @HANCXCK @virginmedia And when you do get through, they don't know wtf to say. I swear alexa and siri have better conversations and communication.

  • ASnail419 Ben Josephs-Franks (@ASnail419) reported

    @virginmedia constantly having disconnects in the RG12 area today. Not the hub or the router. No known issues on the website... Infuriating

  • ricky_sundar Ricky Sundar (@ricky_sundar) reported

    @virginmedia @NetflixUK VM stopped my DD. Cancelling my contract. I have been waiting for a WiFi booster for over 10 days now. I have call customer services 4 times and each time I speak to someone they tell be being and I will receive with 36 hrs. Customers lie just to get customers off the phone.

  • jrob10001 James Robinson (@jrob10001) reported

    @virginmedia another direct debit issue and no way to DM you! Please could one of you DM me?

  • HANCXCK HANCOCK (@HANCXCK) reported

    @PamCawood @jinksuwu @virginmedia they’re rolling out docsis 3.1 for upload speed and are aiming to get it out by the end of the year so i guess they don’t care about customer experience right now

  • MattVins Matthew Vins (@MattVins) reported

    @virginmedia Hi @virginmedia , I spent hours trying to go through that webchat, and was 'transferred' to the Customer Relations messaging team - where no-one answered. Why am I not receiving an email that my complaints have been received?
