  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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?

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

    Virginmedia Rotherham some with no internet and no TV known issues in the area 6pm fix time

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • chococlaire77 Claire Stewart (@chococlaire77) reported from Sheffield, England

    Well @virginmedia what a waste of our time today,we booked an engineer in the time slot 8-12,and nobody arrived I’m afraid.Tried contacting you,and can’t get through...can anyone help?

  • 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!!!

  • 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

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

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

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

    Virginmedia on form again check my status no tv no Internet gets worse everytime it's down

  • 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.

  • goonie2008 Andrew Lee (@goonie2008) reported from Sheffield, England

    @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.

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

    @Condieflyy My virgin media went down this morning too 👀

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

    @virginmedia WiFi is so bad like how are we paying 50 quid a month n now it’s increasing..so like wha are we paying 4 when it keeps turning off at least evert day?

  • michellepryde Michelle Pryde (@michellepryde) reported

    @virginmedia As a longtime customer I’m looking to lower the cost of our current package. Am I able to do that over the phone? Our current contract is up in a few months but we just wanted to see our options

  • Tractorboy7881 Tractorboy78 (@Tractorboy7881) reported

    @BoabieSinclair @virginmedia Same with me. I’m sure their out of country external contracted services are told to hang up if you need help or try to cancel as it happens every time.

  • D_Wood90 Daniel Wood (@D_Wood90) reported

    @virginmedia This is an ironic targeted ad when my internet has been down all day and apparently won't be fixed til 10am tomorrow.

  • nettiemcgee Jeanette Mcgee (@nettiemcgee) reported

    @virginmedia Nothing John, they keep promising a call back. Saying there’s a ticket open and been promised 2 manager call backs, never got one. It’s shocking the service I’ve received from @VirginMediaIE

  • Queen_of_Saxony Lyndsey williams (@Queen_of_Saxony) reported

    @virginmedia My issue is that my 74 year old father can’t do that, I have to. So why is he paying you £145 a month to you who do nothing to improve his situation? Can I get a cut of the tech support fee?

  • coxy1976 Coxy (@coxy1976) reported

    @CatRtw @virginmedia Pure greed exactly, and a poor excuse when questioned about it!

  • ohmygouldness Hana (@ohmygouldness) reported

    @GlassBeats @virginmedia Oh far from it! Last time they were kind enough to tell me I was clearly the issue as they could see from their end that their service was working. As if, u know, thats not exactly what a capitalist company whose service doesnt work would say

  • CharlotteOCOS Charlotte O'Shea (@CharlotteOCOS) reported

    Is virgin media down in cork area?

  • adampatton78 Adam Patton (@adampatton78) reported

    @virginmedia Our signal keeps dropping so much that we can’t even stream Netflix and we can never get through to customer care. I bet if we stop paying the bill for a service we are not receiving you wouldn’t be too long of contacting us
