    @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

    @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

    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

    @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.

    @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.

    lettiebella🦉🇬🇧 (@lettielou05) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia No and tbh no apology for my internet not working since the day after install Friday and now I've been threatened in in contract ! I have 14 days to cancel can you confirm please . Im not paying for a fault after 5 days plus it's not worked from install .

  • cranworth791
    Sam Millington (@cranworth791) reported from Rawmarsh, England

    @virginmedia Yeah that’s fine, or just a phone number / person to deal with? It’s my parents business and they have their property engineers coming out to view the issue on Monday. I assume they will be in touch themselves regarding the issues. Luckily it’s just rain water, and not sewage.

  • 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.

  • AnnielizzieSten
    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.

  • ninepine
    Mike Fuller (@ninepine) reported

    @virginmedia Apology accepted but your data is clearly bad and your systems faulty if you have to rely on assumptions not truth. Sadly symptomatic of @virginmedia - @ICOnews should investigate. When your systems also wrongly say I haven't paid my bill in full it's systemic not unusual.😡

  • TeessideDCooper
    David Cooper (@TeessideDCooper) reported

    @virginmedia once again internet down! Online checker says area ok! What a load of rubbish funny how all my neighbours are down as well.

  • RobLawler840229
    Rob Lawler (@RobLawler840229) reported

    @virginmedia had no service since the 13th May and just been told that the problem won’t be fixed until the 26th May after being pushed back from the 20th do I qualify for the auto compensation ??

    @virginmedia Any idea why my Internet is so crap today on the wirral literally dropping out constantly and it's the holidays the kids are going mad

  • GregoryRasputin
    Ivan Elmanov (@GregoryRasputin) reported

    @virginmedia I don’t have a problem returning it, I have a problem with your company threatening to charge me because I didn’t send the router back straight away, maybe give people more than two weeks to send it back before harassing them.

  • Fedupcivvy
    Ex-Fedupcivvy (@Fedupcivvy) reported

    @obbsie @virginmedia Everyone I know who used to be with @virginmedia has moved to another provider having experienced the same rubbish service you're getting. Banged on my door a few weeks ago, got sent packing, told the sales person I'd rather go totally offline than use them

    Emma Constantine 💙 (@ConstantineEmma) reported

    @Plusnet please can you help-we have been in contact with you numerous times without a resolution over an issue with our switch to you from Virgin media-Virgin are saying we owe them hundreds of pounds which we don’t as we had switched to you.

    @O2 @virginmedia has anyone else experienced a further decline in customer care since O2 was taken over by the dreadful Virgin Group?

    @virginmedia It says there’s a fault but hoping to fix by May 18th 🤷 I’ve rebooted the box and it seems fine now
