  • SammyJT77 Samantha Harrison (@SammyJT77) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia how do you not have an email address for customer service? You are asking that we don’t call unless it’s urgent but then all other options (text bot in particular) are not fit for purpose.

  • Nude_Jay Jay🧘🏻‍♂️🧔🏻 (@Nude_Jay) reported from Sheffield, England

    @openswimmer7 @virginmedia Really bad. In total yesterday spent 4.5 hours on the phone. Only wanted to renew, then everything else got broke on the way. Fingers crossed now sorted 😐

  • CEjottings Norman Perrin (@CEjottings) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Done that. Looks like the TiVo box the likely problem. Needs replacing. So how do i do that? Phone leads to online help: online leads nowhere helpful, for just replacing a TiVo box. Ideas?

  • Saphysaft Saphy (@Saphysaft) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia could somebody help pleas? I have a question about a broadband package and installation that no FAQ or community question has answered (that I could find) and there is no phone number or live chat. Thanks in advance :)

  • Michaelh747 Michael Harrison (@Michaelh747) reported from Staveley, England

    @virginmedia Well one of my network ports still isn't working. Had the router for years. Anyway I can get a replacement?

  • Yorkie_Jock Derek Libberton 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Yorkie_Jock) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia hello, we had a letter saying work would be carried out on broadband 23rd Oct, my partner is at home today booked into an NHS online training course and has no service. Called cust svcs, msg says work being carried out today. Why no notification?

  • Michaelh747 Michael Harrison (@Michaelh747) reported from Staveley, England

  • jojo_oh_jojo Jo of JAM Artworks (@jojo_oh_jojo) reported from Sheffield, England

    @KatePinkSmith @virginmedia I finally made the break from Virgin last week, moved to BT. Shocking service all round xx

  • Michaelh747 Michael Harrison (@Michaelh747) reported from Staveley, England

    @virginmedia hey guys! One of my network ports on my router has stopped working. Any ideas if I can get a new router? I can DM you my details?

  • stuartbquick Stuart Bolton (@stuartbquick) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia I’m not impressed. Switched for phone and broadband on 31st Aug. Telephone switch got rescheduled on the day of installation! Had to get existing provider to extend contract for 2wks. Broadband is constantly buffering and now gone down. @NOWTV @VodafoneUK better.

  • JordRd Jordan Reid (@JordRd) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia this service is abysmal.. no one answering calls again, no live chat, how can I fix my problem if no one is available to talk to. We’ve been having issues since 26/10/20.. absolutely crap. @SkyUK we’re on our way

  • Michaelh747 Michael Harrison (@Michaelh747) reported from Staveley, England

    @richardbranson yo! Can you fix my internet? @virginmedia

  • StuN_UK StuN UK (@StuN_UK) reported from Sheffield, England

    @SkyHelpTeam Losing patience waiting for you to contact me about changing my V1 Sky Q box for V2. Fed up with some UHD recordings having software errors. 6 months left on my contract but I’m considering taking a financial hit, terminating it & leaving for @Virginmedia

  • JordRd Jordan Reid (@JordRd) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia broadband been down for over 2 weeks. Working intermittently. Phoned on numerous occasions, on hold for over an hour each time. Tried the messaging service. Respond only when I’m at work. Abysmal service/provider. My wife works from home and is having to us hotspot

  • JordRd Jordan Reid (@JordRd) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Yes. I just want to speak to someone and get this resolved otherwise I want to cancel altogether

  • mechasquid Andy Welland (@mechasquid) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia hi there! Do you have a customer support email address at all? Broadband customer here. I can’t get through on phone or live chat and need to discuss service issues and wish to downgrade service. Hope you can help!

  • curt_curtdavies Curt Davies (@curt_curtdavies) reported from Conisbrough, England

    @virginmedia can't connect to any WiFi device from my modem but its working with an Ethernet cable, tried rebooting multiple times but no joy, could you advise what is required to fix the fault please #virginmedia #WiFi

  • dawnproc 👻🤩DP 🤩👻 (@dawnproc) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Hi, no issues with Hub or my account so I’m guessing it was a scam call 😳

  • CEjottings Norman Perrin (@CEjottings) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Rung 151 before. Just done again. Same recorded message. No help whatsoever. How about suspending my monthly charge until you sort out the problem?

  • dawnproc 👻🤩DP 🤩👻 (@dawnproc) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia why have you just contacted me to tell me my internet service will be disconnected in four hours as we need a new router?? We had one last week and you’ve been out to it twice since 😳

  • markwilde13 Mark (@markwilde13) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you. I have spoken with them but still not getting adequate service or response. Also tried complaints team and to no avail. Please can I ask for contact details for area manager responsible for Liss please? Or a senior operations manager or Jeff Dodds?

  • deonmicdare Gideon MicDare (@deonmicdare) reported

    @virginmedia hello, soap has not been working on my TV for the past 1 month, how do I fix?

  • predfield1979 Predfield1979 (@predfield1979) reported

    @virginmedia I don't have any virus infection. The email is a scam. There is nothing to "fix" here and I won't be paying you to do so. What I will be doing is looking for a new provider that doesn't try to scam me.

  • LiamRLaverick Liam Laverick (@LiamRLaverick) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia literally THE worst internet provider. Nothing but trouble since we switched from Sky. Engineers been out twice and still losing connection constantly. Had to turn off the WIFI to even tweet this 😡

  • NareshSavalia Naresh Savalia (@NareshSavalia) reported

    @virginmedia Now I had another issue with Bill for this month and last, it is charged twice for December 😟😞

  • VickiCaple22 Victoria Caple (@VickiCaple22) reported

    I cannot tell you how disappointed I am by @virginmedia and their absolutely appalling customer service. I’ve been a customer for less than 2 weeks and I’m already considering going back to @skytv. Word of warning - don’t bother!!

  • Username4944 M (@Username4944) reported

    @virginmedia Cant advise anything apart from theres an issue in the area and it may be fixed by the 6th. And like clock work, it's all stopped working at 5.50pm again. I've been with TalkTalk, Sky and BT, and none have ever been this bad!

  • suzChelt Suzanne Williams 🔶 (@suzChelt) reported

    @virginmedia Apologies, I’m one of their elected Councillors, so no face to face access. They say they have been trying to get help for 2months. Daughter has also emailed Virgin but no response.
