    I’m gonna stop having days off because every time I do the WiFi seems to be down #VirginMedia

    @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.

  • 67BLADE

    @virginmedia I need to speak to customer services about a mis sold installation

  • ianpnaylor
    Ian Naylor (@ianpnaylor) reported from Sheffield, England

    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

  • Helen_Claire71
    Helen-Claire Stone (@Helen_Claire71) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia’s customer service is appalling. 3 hours to respond to a message has to be the benchmark for worst practice. Last weekend it took them 27 hours to sort out cancelling my account. Absolutely hopeless.

    @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 🙄😡

    Virgin Media have the worst customer service in the world

    @virginmedia Yes but can never get through via phone

  • 67BLADE
    Mark Bell (@67BLADE) reported from Chesterfield, England

    @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

  • 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

  • leannerains
    Leanne Rebecca (@leannerains) reported from Sheffield, England

    @SkyHelpTeam went to renew our sky package and they quote us £99 for new package deal bye bye sky il cancel our sky package and go somewhere else and maybe try @virginmedia #ripoff

  • Callum_SEND
    Callum 🏳️‍🌈 🔴⚪⚫ 🔰 (@Callum_SEND) reported 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

  • w47carr
    Mrs c (@w47carr) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia why am h getting the message that my cable is broken

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

    @virginmedia And I can’t raise a complaint on the site without having an account, which I don’t have, so that is a pointless endeavour as well

  • ianpnaylor
    Ian Naylor (@ianpnaylor) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Not really. He said that there had been an outage in the area. That seems to happen nearly every day at the moment. Resetting the box multiple times, running a test, waiting then hoping.

  • ianpnaylor
    Ian Naylor (@ianpnaylor) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Only have broadband but it causes streaming issues. Service been terribly disrupted now for a couple of months.

    @virginmedia what is going on with WiFi in Sheffield. It’s been awful for weeks

    @virginmedia Absolutely shocking service . Broadband and TV down since electrical storm on Thursday morning. Not fixed despite you saying otherwise. You keep cancelling the engineers to come to my home.

    @LowerNorthBank @virginmedia So bad & such an idiotic decision to do it this weekend. You about later?

  • Dianaaaa_91
    Dianaaaa (@Dianaaaa_91) reported

    Internet went down at 9pm last night. @virginmedia you’re estimating to be back up at 5:08pm today…. My partner wfh how is he supposed to do his job? No information on the app just “an issue in the area” can someone check on this please? It’s only been a week since it fixed.

  • Davies133
    Jim Davies (Ex Labour Voter & Member) (@Davies133) reported

    @virginmedia 30 minutes and counting waiting for someone on your retentions line to pick up the phone!!! It looks like I'm not alone in wanting to leave. Is this what counts for customer service? 😡

  • KevinMuldoon
    Kevin Muldoon (@KevinMuldoon) reported

    @virginmedia has to be the worst ISP in the UK. Currently raising a CISAS complaint against them due to how they're terrorirising my elderly mother. May have to take this to small claims too as it's impossible to speak to any UK staff who can resolve anything.

  • _SonOfTheDesert
    Kaiser Soothsays (@_SonOfTheDesert) reported

    Hey, @virginmedia, I don’t have a problem with @SkySports. What I DO have a problem with is channels stuttering. Will the software update solve that?

    @TVKev Omg that's all we need. It's bad enough talking to a bot when you phone companies like Virgin Media. Sorry I didn't get that. My response whilst going nuts. Human please NOW! How the hell are the elderly and vulnerable supposed to cope with this?! Human receptionists NOT AI.
