  • Claredo91857219 Clare doyle (@Claredo91857219) reported from Barnsley, England

    @Alroblade @virginmedia Who you gone to. I need to kick them into touch. Crap service and a rip off price that gets money expensive each year x

  • bromley001 Si (@bromley001) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia It's the same place & situation as yesterday, and, once again, after a few hours of no signal, once I actually Tweet about it, it suddenly reappears! No worries here now, ta.

  • sufcben Ben Burkinshaw ⚔ (@sufcben) reported from Brampton Bierlow, England

    @virginmedia Just that an engineer would be out today to fix the problem only to be told that this was not the case.

  • w47carr Mrs c (@w47carr) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia are you aving problems with ITV channel mines gone off in the s70 area

  • JoeInSheffield Joe 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺🔶 (@JoeInSheffield) reported from Sheffield, England

    @TrainedPengling @virginmedia The problem I have with this, is that whenever their broadband has gone down, so had my mobile with them at same time. Like when it all went down nationwide earlier this month. Having free 4g when you actually can't connect is kinda pointless lol

  • martinbo1972 Martin (@martinbo1972) reported from Rotherham, England

    @virginmedia Media! Awful talking to a call centre in another country!

  • bromley001 Si (@bromley001) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Rebooted my phone earlier, no effect. Not actually had to call or text anyone today, but my signal icon has said 'Emergency Calls Only' all day. I'll definitely check that signal strength link though, thanks.

  • sophiechxx 🌻 𝒔𝒐𝒑𝒉 🌻 (@sophiechxx) reported from Hoyland Nether, England

    @virginmedia According to ur website there aren’t any issues within my area so not only was I hung up on I was lied to as well. Now my password is apparently wrong and won’t let me change it on the website. Just wanna cancel the contract to be honest, no help whatsoever.

  • sufcben Ben Burkinshaw ⚔ (@sufcben) reported from Brampton Bierlow, England

    @virginmedia No internet for 6 weeks as a new customer and was told an engineer would be coming today only to be told there’s no appointment been made

  • wilcock_steve steve wilcock (@wilcock_steve) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia Don’t apologise fix it!! 8 days is an absolute shambles!!! Peoples lives revolve around emails now!! Bank details, fraud warnings etc

  • wilcock_steve steve wilcock (@wilcock_steve) reported from Barnsley, England

    Well done @virginmedia today is your 2 week anniversary of not providing an email service!! @MoneySavingExp @BBCWatchdog @Ofcom #votewithyourmoney #leavevirginmedia #customerservice #fraud #valueformoney #joke

  • tryfbellamy tryf (@tryfbellamy) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia gunna sort your shit internet out or what

  • bromley001 Si (@bromley001) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia No, everything on there is telling me 'very good'. But! Ironically, during this very exchange, my signal has popped up (although it's now not as strong as when I started writing this Tweet). Looks like me looking at the website has scared it into working. :D

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

    @virginmedia what's with my phone telling me I can't visit sites verify I'm over 18 never had that before

  • JoeInSheffield Joe 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺🔶 (@JoeInSheffield) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Nothing has happened today, I'm just commenting on your offer to give all broadband customers free mobile 4g when your broadband goes down. Whenever my broadband had gone down, so has my cellular connection also.

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

    @virginmedia Mobile never had it before

  • Mashcat Karma Chameleon (@Mashcat) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia No I have a full time job - I can’t keep trying when your hold times are 20 minutes plus ... you need a call back service

  • nathandainty Nathan Dainty (@nathandainty) reported from Sheffield, England

    @sky @virginmedia hey @SkyUK You should tell your customer service: “Online, mail and telephone order customers have the right to cancel their order for a limited time even if the goods aren’t faulty. Sales of this kind are known as ‘distance selling’…

  • SuperFlySimon Simon Burkinshaw (@SuperFlySimon) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia why should I have to pay when I’m not being able to use the service I pay for

  • themackney Richard Mackney (@themackney) reported

    @virginmedia Hello. All our services are down. And my neighbours too. Can you tell me what the problem is in the KT6 area?

  • Charles11522381 Charles (@Charles11522381) reported

    @virginmedia I got banned from your forums for repeatedly posting poor speed results. Making other customers aware of your lies of fixing a problem gets you nabbed from a virgin forum. Please leave me alone now I have been insulted and ridiculed enough by your customer services.

  • ElizabethPsychs Elizabeth H (@ElizabethPsychs) reported

    @virginmedia Terrible customer service virgin! Trying to cancel - hung up on 3 times and then told you can't cancel it anyway. Shocking.

  • dvjj Di D (@dvjj) reported

    @virginmedia There were 6 people in different houses that I know in Waterloo, Bermondsey and London Bridge all talking to each other and experiencing the issues still. FGS put your hands up in the air and say, "We told people it was fixed a little early...it was near to fix we jumped the gun!

  • Blod_wen Anna Hill 🐧 (@Blod_wen) reported

    @virginmedia Ok, I've just tried to ring the faults team on the number you provided, and now I'm getting an automated message to say that my password is wrong.... Please can you help?

  • gilliblogs Gill Lysons (@gilliblogs) reported from Newton-le-Willows, England

    @yicker @virginmedia Had the same thing when my Gran was poorly, trying to explain to HMRC why they couldn’t visit her for an assessment - eventually I had to say “look, she’s dying” Bloody awful . Hope you’re ok xxx

  • starshinehwahwa Star ♡ 성화 ♡ 민기 (@starshinehwahwa) reported

    @AtinyBebe95 Are you in virgin media as well? ;-; ours has been down since last night😭

  • lunarorbital max 🍉 (@lunarorbital) reported

    @virginmedia I was on the phone with your customer service agent and said nothing could be done, and said they would call back with a solution and i’ve heard nothing since

  • HyperChunk HyperChunk (@HyperChunk) reported

    Update. Past 15 minutes i have had a static green power light, static green wifi symbol but the 'up and down' arrows are flashing green. VM website is saying to leave it, forums are telling me to restart. @virginmedia what should i do? Now offline for 45+ mins and WFH
