    @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've emailed MD and they called me within the hour and sorted my issue out within 10 minutes. You should be ashamed of yourselves

  • BMiller36990477 -BMiller- (@BMiller36990477) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Sure, office this morning at about 8am. No service and Internet access by 9.30M and popped back late morning and still nothing around 10.45am. So finished my admin at home with my own broadband connection. Didn't call or raise the issue as its a pointless exercise. Cheers

  • TWO_Librans Phil J (@TWO_Librans) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Just want to lower my bill or cancel

    @virginmedia broadband service has dropped out in Sheffield (s5) any know issues or reasons why this has happened. Service checker isn’t giving any information

  • mandybaps1 Amanda Brightmore (@mandybaps1) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Useless you haven't addressed my points. I will go directly to the managing director Lutz Schueler. Really disappointed and I woukd have expected better considering I have been a loyal customer.

  • mandybaps1 Amanda Brightmore (@mandybaps1) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia No one has informed me of this, I feel I have been misold again very poor. No one mentioned this previously I have been told it was a new promotional that was added, so again alot of tosh. Does anyone know what they are doing at virgin.

  • ClaireWinslade Claire 💙 (@ClaireWinslade) reported from Sheffield, England

    Moved to @virginmedia on Monday and router didn’t come. Then when it came Wednesday the internet wouldn’t connect. After 7 phone calls and an engineer called out it’s still not working 😡 and it seems if you are on hold for too long they just cut you off. So frustrating

  • 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 🤬

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

    @virginmedia Third time it's been down today now. Yes completely down, we have no Internet at all. What other services do you mean? We only have broadband with you. Yes, I've booked but not until next week, we CAN NOT have this service for 3-5 days before someone comes out?!

  • oasispj38 Phil (@oasispj38) reported

    @_Pealos @virginmedia I did mine all online, pretty simple. Had issues when installed and they sorted it really quick with an engineer. I was very happy with the service. But their route is crap. Great service in the main room, but you lose loads in others.

  • WrenJohn John Wren (@WrenJohn) reported

    @virginmedia what a job it is getting in touch with them about a new package, no answer on phone, live chat too busy to help. I wonder if SKY would be able to help?

  • jprnobrega João Nóbrega (@jprnobrega) reported

    What is that? another total blackout from virginmedia business service you say? just another day in the life of virgin media broadband at SW12 #virginmedia

  • aa_mcintosh22 Alex Mc (@aa_mcintosh22) reported

    @virginmedia how can I contact your customer services team to switch deals?

  • AltitudeIreland ALTITUDE (@AltitudeIreland) reported

  • mermhart Miranda Hart (@mermhart) reported

    Please can you help me @virginmedia @Virgin Is there a nice person to speak to as the weekend is coming up and, you know, there’s Netflix to watch. And it turns out that life stops without wifi! HELP!

  • mxbexglambert Mx Bex☯#ReclaimGenderQueerFlag💜🤍💚 (@mxbexglambert) reported

    @virginmedia we've been trying to cancel our account for hours now. It's utterly ridiculous. Set up with @Plusnet was easy, stress-free and honestly easy. No messing, no silliness, no anxiety. When you ask why people are leaving this is part of why, terrible service.

  • RachelSellers11 selldogmillionaire (@RachelSellers11) reported

    @virginmedia your customer service WOW the call gets too tough your agents hang up. Someone just sent me through to o2 how do I deal with my complaint your staff are the most incompetent people I’ve ever spoken to

  • chrismalone1961 CHRIS THFC 1882 (@chrismalone1961) reported

    @_Pealos @virginmedia Yeah. Their customer service does leave a lot to be desired. But doesn't all the utility companies?

  • MarcGlickPitney Patrick McGinley (@MarcGlickPitney) reported

    @brighton_buoy @RichyCraven 👆Yes! Check Eir or Vodafone AND Virgin Media as VM apparently operates it's own network so they might have better speeds.
