  Callum 🏳️‍🌈 🔴⚪⚫ 🔰 (@Callum_SEND) reported 5 minutes ago from Brampton Bierlow, England

  @virginmedia I appreciate you trying to help. The issue is with the virgin contract being 18 months and the "new" o2 deal being 24 months and how this would impact as I looked to renegotiate in 18 months

  @virginmedia It’s strange because the online help claims there’s no problem but the phone says there’s a major problem in the area. Perhaps the online help needs updating because it’s no help at all

  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

  @virginmedia when are you going to start issuing people the Hub 4 as the SH3 is useless for delivering wifi. Doesn’t help that you seem to be constantly having issues and massive speed problems over the last month. Any chance of us actually getting a service that we pay for?!

  @virginmedia Faceless customer service. Can’t live chat, can’t chat to anyone on the phone. All they want to do is send you a text or a link to their website. Poor. What am I paying for? Certainly isn’t customer service

  Sam Watts (@SamWatt30745054) reported 46 minutes ago from Barnsley, England

  @virginmedia you are aware that a lot of older, more vulnerable people have had alarm and safety devices installed that depend on a safe, fast, reliable service. The one that they, like, you know pay a lot of money for

  Calming Chameleon (@Mashcat) reported 48 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @koffee_truffles @virginmedia I’ll try calling again tomorrow and go through to cancellations.. if they won’t sort I’ll leave .. I’ve only ever had them too - never used another provider 🙈

  @O2PriorityUK I’m struggling to connect with app. I’m a @virginmedia account holder. Initial you sent me a code but via my mobile. Now my phone number is placed in the box it doesn’t recognise it. Help?

• 
  John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported 48 minutes ago 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.

  Andy Kershaw Media 🎙 (@andyksheffield) reported 52 minutes ago 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

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

  Andrew Lee (@goonie2008) reported 55 minutes ago 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.

  Adam (@tevowl9) reported 58 minutes ago from Brinsworth, England

  @virginmedia on the phone for 30 minutes, WhatsApp message and technical support still not sorting us out! Oh but we can double what we pay and get a new hub!! New customers get it for £25

  Amy 🦉 (@Amy_1867) reported 59 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @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

  @gblondon1 @skytv Asked Virgin Media what options do I have for having their TV service in different parts of the house without running cables through my home...they offered me a firestick!

  @virginmedia I've had this message when trying to watch recordings for weeks, I finally tried calling today (after trying power on/off) only to hear the message 'you haven't been given access to this service' then cut off. Such poor service, especially considering what I'm £££

  @griptmedia @Ireland2020 On Virgin Media’s Tonight Show, I watched the host squirm & desperately try to silence Ben Scallan the moment he had the audacity to mention beheadings, you know, actual brutal realities happening on our streets. Classic MSM playbook, when the truth crashes the narrative, just deflect, disrupt & desperately compare apples to oranges. State-funded media has never looked more fragile, pathetic & exposed. 🇮🇪

  Serenity Solo Studios (@SerenitySoloDev) reported 11 minutes ago

  Virgin Media may have the best broadband speeds for me, but lying salesmen and Virgins policies really has me thinking about cancelling during this cooldown period. I was told 1000mbps was the maximum speed here. I found out it was 2000mbps. I tried to change as I was unaware of this at the time, due to what the saleman told me, but they wanted to charge me £88 per month or so for the 2gb package when the 1gb only costs £33 per month. Even though the website says £55 per month for the 2gb package. I then asked about the upload spped matching the download speed. At first, I was told this was a different package, not an addon, so it would cost £88 per month in total. What? I then threatened to leave and rejoin with a new package as I was in the cooling off period. I was then told this was an addon for £6 per month. They can't change anything on my package though apparently. It now has to be sent to another team to check through this and I have to wait 5-10 days. This is the most confusing company I have ever dealt with. When joining Sky, I could change my package at any time and still be given the in contract discount. Sky may have slower speeds, but @Virgin have to have to the worst policies that kind of makes me regret changing over. If they say I still have to pay almost triple the cost, I may just take the loss of the broadband speed and move back over to Sky. Virgin are trying to rip me off as their sales representative who came to the door and sold me the package never gave the full information to me and said 1gb was their highest package they had for my area.

  An utter clown show from @virginmedia and @tntsports @rugbyontnt for messing up coverage again. Timeless errors. #BATvEXE #PremRugby

  @virginmedia Virgin media lies to its customers who request a hub 5 router., they will state that "its not compatible " or "only for 1gb customers only " this is both a lie even M100 customers have been given Hub 5 routers it is disgusting the lies that customer service tell

  @RETeacher11 @virginmedia Switch to CityFibre, if you can. I finally got rid of VM after 15 years of bullshit. Price increases, shocking customer service, appalling tech support. Been with CF for 2 years now. I don't even have a reason to contact them - rock-solid and reliable 24/7.
