  • 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

  • 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 :)

  • 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.

  • AbigailBriggs_ Abigail Briggs (@AbigailBriggs_) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia The estimated fix time was 8pm last night, then 10pm, then 12am and now it is 4pm. Will it be fixed by this time, or will it just be put back again?

  • summitsleap Anita Whittaker (@summitsleap) reported from Conisbrough, England

    @virginmedia please please can someone help me. I left virgin in October and have had several calls to say I didn't ask to. Now they are threatening me with debt recovery. Is this correct

  • mrriddlesworth Mr Riddlesworth (@mrriddlesworth) reported from Rotherham, England

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

  • liaryredhead Angelina Perrett (@liaryredhead) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia - 3 scam phone calls this morning from a company impersonating Virgin Media- by the third time they were just plan rude when I would not respond

  • 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

  • summitsleap Anita Whittaker (@summitsleap) reported from Conisbrough, England

    @virginmedia so. I left virgin media in October after 19 years, not that I wanted to. I just was fed up of new customers getting a better deal. Now I keep getting billed and its up to £150. How can I stop this. Been on the phone 20mins but had to put it down 😤😤😤

  • 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?

  • 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?

  • Mashcat Calming Chameleon (@Mashcat) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Hi no - the link is broken and chat says up to 4 hour wait 🙈 .. please just want to order the booster please

  • Mashcat Calming Chameleon (@Mashcat) reported from Sheffield, England

    @koffee_truffles @virginmedia It admits it’s not working .. says my coverage of a **** .. then offers to fix it for another £60/year .. same week they send me a letter to say my bill is increasing anyway .. clearly forgotten we’re in a pandemic!!!

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia what's the number I need to cancel the service? I'm so fed up at the moment

  • Mashcat Calming Chameleon (@Mashcat) reported 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 🙈

  • AbigailBriggs_ Abigail Briggs (@AbigailBriggs_) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia my 80yo Grandma has been without use of her phone for almost 24 hours. This has been reported and the automated message keeps saying will be resolved by a certain time, but that time keeps getting put back. Unable to speak to an actual person. Can you help?

  • ReeceBryan94 Reece Bryan (@ReeceBryan94) reported from Wombwell, England

    @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?!

  • mikeyb0y Mike Healy (@mikeyb0y) reported

    @virginmedia The usual - a simple issue turned into a frustrating time wasting exercise. Needed to ask a question, took over 24 hours of random delays to finally get to ask it, all sorted 5 minutes later. Thankfully it confirmed I'll no longer be a customer in 2 weeks. So a happy ending.

  • iamiddd iddd (@iamiddd) reported

    @virginmedia is there a broadband issue in the W11 area? Cannot check service status on your site.

  • stevehulme steve hulme (@stevehulme) reported from Carlisle, England

    @virginmedia why is your website so bad, just had to change my password and it still won't let me log in going round in circles

  • FriendlyGuyTTV ThatFriendlyGuy @ TwitchCon SD ✈️ (@FriendlyGuyTTV) reported

    @DanExert @virginmedia Virgin is legitimately the worst, best speeds for the 50% of the time its online

  • LostKeybox walnut (@LostKeybox) reported

    @virginmedia Well you said you can't help on here yesterday and the number you gave me is a robot reply system, and to be honest BT can get-out on Monday and provide service I've contacted the ombudsman and they say I'm due compensation because of missed appointments and waiting 6weeks soooo.

  • wenchuk Julie (@wenchuk) reported

    @virginmedia So frustrated with the poor customer service our virgin media box keeps dropping out and needs hard reset at least twice per day and after the 3rd phone call we are fobbed off again asked to speak to supervisor and was told I will ask for you to have a call back.

  • RenXIV_UK RenXIV (@RenXIV_UK) reported

    @DanExert @virginmedia I'm in the midlands, not entirely sure where abouts you are mate if that's any help or why me might've got different messages.

  • Elfutbo83248110 El_futbol (@Elfutbo83248110) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, I've been told it's an area outage again. This is happening every couple of weeks. It's not good enough to be honest for the amount we pay. How many times must this happen before I can get out of my contract without being charged?

  • KOwriting Mark Butcher (@KOwriting) reported

    @virginmedia You've signed me up to a broadband contract I've never agreed to and booked a visit I've never agreed to. Will be cancelling both my phones at the end of their contracts this year now and your weakling broadband as soon as I can.

  • DanExert DanExert (@DanExert) reported

    @virginmedia Best part is Business customers aren’t owed anything unless the service can’t be resumed within 48 hours of Virgin acknowledging there’s a problem, so they don’t acknowledge it until the very last minute My last outage was 47 hours, it would be funny if I didn’t work from home
