    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.

    Martin Spiers (@martinaspiers) reported from Oughtibridge, England

    @virginmedia That would appear only to relate to your services? I'm not a customer (except via 02).

    @virginmedia why is the red button on sky sports football not working no option to watch the live games ?? Poor service

  • ianpnaylor
    Ian Naylor (@ianpnaylor) reported from Sheffield, England

    Dealing with ongoing @virginmedia connection issues whilst trying to work is bad enough, but then repeated issues whilst trying to watch #sheffieldUnited lose again is just too much. Especially as my bill is pushing £50 a month. Can't work, can't suffer the footie. Come on virgin

  • 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.

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

  • Helen_Claire71
    Helen-Claire Stone (@Helen_Claire71) reported from Sheffield, England

    Recently renegotiated my contract with @virginmedia just received notification that they are billing me for 50% more than was agreed. Called them and they cannot explain why, and have registered my complaint and someone will call me at some point in the next 48 hours. Scandalous

  • ReeceBryan94

    @virginmedia how do we get the new wifi extender pods or a new Virgin Hub? Our wifi signal and speed changes dramatically between the front and back of the house, the coverage is dreadful

    @virginmedia not good when my 82yr old mum was left with no phone service so no health emergency service and city wide alarm for the last 2 days.... not good enough !!!!

    Sky sports red button not working with @virginmedia there’s a shock

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia why am h getting the message that my cable is broken

  • lettielou05

    @pauldevine1986 @virginmedia We are still down in S7. Nearly 24 hours now. Saying 2pm is the updated fix time. But that keeps getting pushed back 🙄😡

  • benbrailsford
    Ben Brailsford (@benbrailsford) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia on hold for 40 mins so far just to get you to cancel a service I don't even want 🤬

  • RomegouxLouis
    Louis Romégoux (@RomegouxLouis) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia please sort the Sky Red button issue which is preventing Sheffield United fans subscribed to Virgin from experiencing the service they've paid for.

    @virginmedia I test through a wired connection, i have already sent a complaint form with all the details on the online portal.

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

    @virginmedia whenever I’m on zoom upstairs and away from my route my wifi always seems to drop out. It’s always says my internet connection is unstable. I’ve restarted router etc is there anything else I can do to boost it

    Rt. Hon Annie (@AnnielizzieSten) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Oh yes and I’ve phoned. It appears to be that yesterday’s problems haven’t been resolved.

    @virginmedia please advise what is going on with the intermittent broadband in the Evesham area. It is making WFH really difficult and your service checker states you are looking it to it, it improves and then the same thing happens and I am again advised the same thing

  • crm_uk
    C Morris (@crm_uk) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Yep 💯 percent. Worst is when the Indian call centre says password is wrong because they don't understand and you're having to break up your English for them 🙈

  • skgreennz
    Sue Trickett/Green (@skgreennz) reported

    @virginmedia But your customer services have take 2 months and they lie

    @Benleo @virginmedia Yeah…the internet speed was great but the rest was totally awful based on my only experience with them…when asked I tell folk to avoid them👍

  • Merse2506
    John Mercer (@Merse2506) reported

    @virginmedia After a week after transfer I still have no NETFLIX. They said 24 hours a week ago. I am a Kylie fanand have already missed promos and now going to miss the show promoted for the past few weeks. If i miss it i will never trust VM again.

    @Benleo @virginmedia I was the same, am I getting a refund for no service 🤔 I doubt it...

  • PJClarkson

    @Benleo @virginmedia I’ve had this same issue!! I couldn’t understand any of the customer services advisers.

  • PetermcRed
    Peter mcgoldrick (@PetermcRed) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia I had to take them to an independent arbitration for compensation. My internet didn't work properly from day 1. They didn't fix it, so I refused to pay my outstanding bill and switched immediately to BT. They kept sending me threatening emals. I won my case.

    @Benleo @virginmedia I agree Ben cancelled my virgin atrocious service go to Trust pilot I would have given them - 1000 but can’t go lower than 1 but you can leave feedback it’s important to warn other people .
