    @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.

    @calvg @virginmedia Thank you 🙏 Stop blaming us and be responsible for your crap connections

  • tevowl9
    Adam (@tevowl9) reported 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

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

  • 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.

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

    @StueyDay @virginmedia @lionsgateplusuk The service is awful and customers find it too hard to get a prompt response. Last time this happened it took at least 8-10 emails before they got past the automated letter asking me to switch off, reboot and check all the connections.

  • victimsvoice73
    Victims Voice (@victimsvoice73) reported from Sheffield, England

    Anyone recommend a phone network been with @O2 for years and since it merged with @virginmedia it’s shocking. When I went on holiday before I’d never had problems this year wouldn’t let me go my own internet & here signal keeps going for phoning not to mention rise in scam calls

    @virginmedia is the email down again??

  • DeborahTaylor3
    Debbie 💜 🦋🦉 (@DeborahTaylor3) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia what's the issue with answering a call? Line went dead, my mum can't receive incoming texts and is due an upgrade. Your customer service is terrible, God only knows what will happen when I call for TV

  • olibrown77
    Oli B (@olibrown77) reported from Sheffield, England

    @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 🙄😡

  • ArmitageJohn
    John Armitage (@ArmitageJohn) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia hi guys, I’ve been without TV services for over two weeks now. Every attempt to@reach you has me going around in circles. Tried the app. Doesn’t recognise my email, and doesn’t recognise my acct no + area ref. Please help. Can I talk to someone?!!

  • HarlamTK
    Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported from Wombwell, England

    @virginmedia I tried that and that’s how I got stuck in this situation. Is there a number I can call that is DIRECT for a complaint?

  • SamWatt30745054
    Sam Watts (@SamWatt30745054) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia I’ve run test after test, at least 5-6 outages a month for last 2 years. Horrendous service and this is the final straw unless you offer me a refund of say £20 a month for last two years, if not I’m going BT and a dodgy box from Mad Frank in pub

  • 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

  • diddles1970
    Diane Caira (@diddles1970) reported from Sheffield, England

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

  • 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?!

  • 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

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

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

  • popsgolf
    Andrew Poppleton 💙 (@popsgolf) reported from Wentworth, England

    @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?

    Thanks to the VM staff on here for all the attempted help , found me first text on this broadband fault and it was January 2021 , disconnection next month off to get working internet ,VM needs to stop concentrating on speed and fix lack of quality @virginmedia

  • ErmitoF
    Ermito Fernandes (@ErmitoF) reported

    Hi any idea whats whats happening with the service outage in Hinckley Road, Narborough Road area since morning? This is so unreliable as I lost my today's appointments as there was no prior intimation of this outage. When is this expected back online? @virginmedia

  • damienpooley
    Damien Pooley (@damienpooley) reported

    @virginmedia a few weeks ago I had some broadband issues and was told a new hub would be dispatched to me. I still haven’t received it, and my account says I don’t have any open orders. I tried to contact VM via chat, but (twice) the agents said nothing when connected!

  • VikramRajpara09
    Vikram (@VikramRajpara09) reported

    @virginmedia I pay for a service which is not active and not working. Goodwill doesn’t come into the equation.

  • MagicalMo
    Mo Woke Rejoiner (@MagicalMo) reported

    @virginmedia I have done. Looking forward to a resolution.

  • VikramRajpara09
    Vikram (@VikramRajpara09) reported

    @virginmedia I have sent you a private message. A rep rang me on WhatsApp just now to tell me: “Internet is down. It will be back up tomorrow.” I explained IN DEPTH the issues to which I was dismissed to be told you’ll recieve compensation as good will. Good will?? I’m a paying customer

  • daisylou1972
    Daisy ****** (@daisylou1972) reported

    @trapdoor456 @virginmedia Yes, we’ve got it and I’ve found it way faster, and more reliable than Sky. Haven’t had to go through customer services yet, so can’t comment on that. 12 months in and not even had to reset the router.

  • redmollster
    Sammo (@redmollster) reported

    @virginmedia how do we get a new HBO activation email? We have TNT sports but don't appear to have the invitation email. All the online help simply sends us round in circles and trying to get through on the phone takes ages. Surely this should be quick and simple?

    @trapdoor456 @virginmedia I have had You Fibre for 2 1/2 years and had no issues
