    @virginmedia Not really. He said that there had been an outage in the area. That seems to happen nearly every day at the moment. Resetting the box multiple times, running a test, waiting then hoping.

    John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia I’ve had that email. I’ve also had another email this morning saying they’re sorry to hear I’m unhappy with my broadband speed. I’m not! I’m unhappy with a call out charge being applied, which was promised to be reversed and never has been!

  • JohnLeesley
    john leesley (@JohnLeesley) reported from Sheffield, England

    -BMiller- (@BMiller36990477) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Sure, office this morning at about 8am. No service and Internet access by 9.30M and popped back late morning and still nothing around 10.45am. So finished my admin at home with my own broadband connection. Didn't call or raise the issue as its a pointless exercise. Cheers

    @virginmedia were there issues in S9 around 1020 this morning?

  • pearson_alison
    Alison Pearson (@pearson_alison) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia why is the red button not working I've paid for this service

  • 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.

  • HarlamTK
    Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported from Wombwell, England

    @virginmedia How do I open a complaint then, because I’m still stuck on the phone with her and she is refusing to let me make my complaint.

  • mandybaps1
    Amanda Brightmore (@mandybaps1) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Useless you haven't addressed my points. I will go directly to the managing director Lutz Schueler. Really disappointed and I woukd have expected better considering I have been a loyal customer.

  • VanceBulla
    V-Bull (@VanceBulla) reported from Brampton Bierlow, England

    @virginmedia Faceless customer service. Can’t live chat, can’t chat to anyone on the phone. All they want to do is send you a text or a link to their website. Poor. What am I paying for? Certainly isn’t customer service

  • paul_phillips83
    Paul David Phillips (@paul_phillips83) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia hi,my virgin media account has been locked for security reasons for over 3 weeks,I spoke to one of your advisers 2 weeks ago and he said it would be resolved in 3 to 5 days but still not able to sign in,and im unwilling to speak to a automated machine for an hour.

  • Drscooto
    Scott Osborn (@Drscooto) reported

    @virginmedia Is this still a problem? I just rebooted my STB and now it useless with a CS1010 error.

  • suellen2623
    Sue Ellen Draper (@suellen2623) reported

    @virginmedia It is a problem in my area. My postcode is Ls11 7hg. It is simply not good enough to now have to wait until at least 5pm for internet and television

  • Sir_Moanalot_
    Sir Moanalot (@Sir_Moanalot_) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia They are awful. I’ve been stuck with an exorbitantly priced rolling contract because I plan to move house soon and have no idea if wherever I move to will have VM cable in the street. Zero reward for customer loyalty. When I do finally move, @virginmedia can get in the bin.

  • cyberbob1uk
    Cyberbob1uk (@cyberbob1uk) reported

    @hamsterpranks @virginmedia Use your cooling off period and get out of that contract. I'm currently on my 5th outage in 6 weeks.

  • danielcbeach
    Daniel Beach (@danielcbeach) reported

    @TonyDabell @mark_wootten @virginmedia After 24 years, I finally left Virgin Media for CommunityFibre a few weeks ago. £53 down to £21 p/m, and double the speed.

  • rickta1
    Rick (@rickta1) reported

    @virginmedia @Benleo Generic replies and absolutely unforgivable call centres off shores just to make that bit more money out of millions- all the while providing an awful service!!!!! Leave them like so many of us all have. Loyalty means nothing to them.
