    @virginmedia Do you have a business outage in S8? Can't get through to anyone. Wondering whether to send everyone home?

  • Sedontane
    Thomas Foster (@Sedontane) reported from Newbold, England

    @nickkzie @scazz786 @virginmedia I have their business broadband, it's been awful. I then pulled the Internet cable out of the modem and fell back on the 4G backup on my plan. Fixed. I'll plug the cable back in tomorrow and get my speed back.

    GiinaGii 🐱🌿 (@giinagii) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia So you're telling me to be without stable /any Internet for at least 3-5 days and that is okay and acceptable? No. We work from home. You need to fix this.

    Anita Whittaker (@summitsleap) reported from Conisbrough, England

    @virginmedia please please can someone help me. I left virgin in October and have had several calls to say I didn't ask to. Now they are threatening me with debt recovery. Is this correct

  • ReeceBryan94

    @virginmedia when are we going to finally have some functional WiFi service from yourself? 3/4 days constant issues... pathetic

  • maddyarden
    Prof Maddy Arden (@maddyarden) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia our broadband down without warning and service update says you hope to fix this by 5th April! Why so long? We rely on this for work - unacceptable

  • statto95
    David JS Dawkes-Hall 💙 (@statto95) reported from Hoyland Nether, England

    And the 4th time today everything has gone down. How am I meant to run a medical company control room when my Internet keeps dropping out? @virginmedia are you going to pay the company for loss of income which is being suffered? Or me for that matter.....

  • YorkshireChuff
    Yorkshire Chuff (@YorkshireChuff) reported from Sheffield, England

    Reading all the tweets from you idiots who haven't got unlimited 5g hotspot. Been paying for this for years. For this very moment. **** you #virginmedia

  • andyksheffield
    Andy Kershaw Media 🎙 (@andyksheffield) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia @lionsgateplusuk Wish I could enjoy this but my so called 500mb service is so poor I’ve virtually been without internet for a week. Finally your team viewed it as urgent because I do work from home on Zoom and…an engineer is coming on Tuesday. When BT Reach put full fibre in my area it’s bye bye

  • alexwhit3head_
    Alex (@alexwhit3head_) reported from Sheffield, England

    Coincidence that BT & EE has been selling broadband all day in area and now my @virginmedia is down.

    @virginmedia How do you think tomorrow is acceptable to see if we have service back? Will be looking at @EE as nothing else to do!

  • fsmith82
    F Smith (@fsmith82) reported

    @virginmedia no internet as box is out of date (family member had same issue a few weeks ago) & engineer can’t come until Monday. Why aren’t you contacting customers to upgrade BEFORE we loose a service we pay for???????

    @virginmedia the service with the WiFi or TV services in the BR5 is poor. 3 times in the last week one of them has went down, today it's the WiFi again.

  • ArsenalInjuries
    Arsenal Mark (@ArsenalInjuries) reported

    @Benleo Sadly that experience is not exclusive to @virginmedia @skytv are exactly the same, their customer service is also non existent, they care little for the customer and have no regard for customer loyalty or satisfaction. #skytv

  • AndyFormUK
    Andy Form (@AndyFormUK) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia We have an issue that’s been going on for 12months. As soon as my wife uses her laptop everything else in the house stop working, Xbox, streaming, even phones. I have 350 GB package and was told I need to upgrade my package to the top one to “fix” the issue. 10 plus calls, hours on hold been past from different departments, engineer visits that don’t turn up and engineers that turn up and say there is a issue with it and someone will be touch when it’s fixed. £40 goodwill I was offered and a call 2 months ago, I’ve even up trying.

    @virginmedia Ive already raised 2 complaints with nobody doing what i actually asked them to do. I shouldnt have to raise a 3rd one for the same issue

    @LouiseMensch @virginmedia @Benleo They’ve worked brilliantly for me for 20 years. Enormous companies have very different user experiences at the margins. I’m sorry to hear about Ben’s and hope that they care enough about service delivery to fix it before it damages their brand.

    @Benleo @virginmedia Doesn’t surprise me one bit. Definitely the worst brand as well.
