  • CEjottings Norman Perrin (@CEjottings) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Rung 151 before. Just done again. Same recorded message. No help whatsoever. How about suspending my monthly charge until you sort out the problem?

  • AbigailBriggs_ Abigail Briggs (@AbigailBriggs_) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia my 80yo Grandma has been without use of her phone for almost 24 hours. This has been reported and the automated message keeps saying will be resolved by a certain time, but that time keeps getting put back. Unable to speak to an actual person. Can you help?

  • jojo_oh_jojo Jo of JAM Artworks (@jojo_oh_jojo) reported from Sheffield, England

    @KatePinkSmith @virginmedia I finally made the break from Virgin last week, moved to BT. Shocking service all round xx

  • JordRd Jordan Reid (@JordRd) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia broadband been down for over 2 weeks. Working intermittently. Phoned on numerous occasions, on hold for over an hour each time. Tried the messaging service. Respond only when I’m at work. Abysmal service/provider. My wife works from home and is having to us hotspot

  • CEjottings Norman Perrin (@CEjottings) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Done that. Looks like the TiVo box the likely problem. Needs replacing. So how do i do that? Phone leads to online help: online leads nowhere helpful, for just replacing a TiVo box. Ideas?

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

    @virginmedia Hi no - the link is broken and chat says up to 4 hour wait 🙈 .. please just want to order the booster please

  • summitsleap Anita Whittaker (@summitsleap) reported from Conisbrough, England

    @virginmedia so. I left virgin media in October after 19 years, not that I wanted to. I just was fed up of new customers getting a better deal. Now I keep getting billed and its up to £150. How can I stop this. Been on the phone 20mins but had to put it down 😤😤😤

  • Michaelh747 Michael Harrison (@Michaelh747) reported from Staveley, England

    @virginmedia what's the number I need to cancel the service? I'm so fed up at the moment

  • JordRd Jordan Reid (@JordRd) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Yes. I just want to speak to someone and get this resolved otherwise I want to cancel altogether

  • JordRd Jordan Reid (@JordRd) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia this service is abysmal.. no one answering calls again, no live chat, how can I fix my problem if no one is available to talk to. We’ve been having issues since 26/10/20.. absolutely crap. @SkyUK we’re on our way

  • Michaelh747 Michael Harrison (@Michaelh747) reported from Staveley, England

    @richardbranson yo! Can you fix my internet? @virginmedia

  • Michaelh747 Michael Harrison (@Michaelh747) reported from Staveley, England

    @virginmedia Well one of my network ports still isn't working. Had the router for years. Anyway I can get a replacement?

  • SammyJT77 Samantha Harrison (@SammyJT77) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia how do you not have an email address for customer service? You are asking that we don’t call unless it’s urgent but then all other options (text bot in particular) are not fit for purpose.

  • Saphysaft Saphy (@Saphysaft) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia could somebody help pleas? I have a question about a broadband package and installation that no FAQ or community question has answered (that I could find) and there is no phone number or live chat. Thanks in advance :)

  • Michaelh747 Michael Harrison (@Michaelh747) reported from Staveley, England

    @virginmedia Well it keeps cutting out and I still haven't had a response about my broken network port on the router. I'm just stuck

  • FayeThomas_1 Faye Thomas (@FayeThomas_1) reported

    @virginmedia Trouble is, it will work for say an hour, then the broadband will drop off. Then come back on. Then drop off again. Then come back on. I just need to disconnect and try a different provider, I think.

  • jcbell88 Jenny Bell (@jcbell88) reported

    @virginmedia I'd accept that if anyone ever turned up. The street needs digging up and has done since August. Communication is awful, at least get in touch to say you're not coming, why and when you will! Hubby now writing a 2500+ word complaint email!! Shocking service!! #Atrocious

  • Key68147099 Key (@Key68147099) reported

    @virginmedia good lord what's going on. Box keeps resetting. Yesterday you were completing work in the area to improve services and today has been ridiculous. You can't get 5mins into a programme before the system shuts down. Can we get some update please as to what's going on...

  • riifty_ riifty (@riifty_) reported

    @virginmedia It says there aren’t any issues on my area; but it has been off all day since before I woke up this morning.

  • Ryanpri03433897 Ryan price (@Ryanpri03433897) reported

    @virginmedia ASAP it's been all night now not working at all, I renewed last week so can can cancel that. Jokers

  • Spongette1982 Charmaine Whitehouse (@Spongette1982) reported

    @virginmedia Well from a customer point of view you do think its acceptable as its becoming a regular issue now. Its more common to have issues than to have a normal service surely it should be the other way round! We want compensation and a refund for the last 2 weeks!

  • SamBuchanan1 Sam Buchanan (@SamBuchanan1) reported

    @virginmedia At almost 9pm are you any closer to being able to fix this issue? Are you compensating customers as your not providing the service we pay a lot of money for

  • 0princessx PM (@0princessx) reported

    @virginmedia Says invalid network settings and a problem with the router. Reset the router. We have 3 boxes in the house, ones the newest and two the older version, none are allowing us to watch live TV.

  • ShajuAhm Shaju Ahmed (@ShajuAhm) reported

    @virginmedia Absolutely rubbish customer service

  • mgbetts13 Mike Betts (@mgbetts13) reported

    @virginmedia Spoke to them and clearly they can’t. Honestly don’t think anyone at @virginmedia knows what there doing. Poor form getting a contract emailed from yourselves but you say it’s not available
