  • JaviEnNZ Javi 💙💛 ۞ (@JaviEnNZ) reported from Halifax, England

    Under no circumstances ever sign anything with @virginmedia. It's probably the worst company I've ever dealt with.

  • YorkshireChuff Yorkshire Chuff (@YorkshireChuff) reported from Sheffield, England

    Reading all the tweets from you idiots who haven't got unlimited 5g hotspot. Been paying for this for years. For this very moment. **** you #virginmedia

  • TezzaBelle88 Terry Hague (@TezzaBelle88) reported from Sheffield, England

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

  • AnnielizzieSten Rt. Hon Annie (@AnnielizzieSten) reported from Sheffield, England

    @PaulbernalUK @virginmedia I can’t help with that. Good luck.

  • AnnielizzieSten Rt. Hon Annie (@AnnielizzieSten) reported from Sheffield, England

    @PaulbernalUK @virginmedia It’s fine here but earlier in March we were left without any service for days at a time . The reason given was service upgrades. Ring them on 150 for an automated update

  • maddyarden Prof Maddy Arden (@maddyarden) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia our broadband down without warning and service update says you hope to fix this by 5th April! Why so long? We rely on this for work - unacceptable

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

    @virginmedia hi virgin can you explain why you've referred me to a debt collection agency after I cancelled my service within 14 days snd returned equipment as it was a failed install and was advised I wouldn't be charged ? You also luckily never cancelled my sky .

  • TezzaBelle88 Terry Hague (@TezzaBelle88) reported from Sheffield, England

    Anyone else’s @virginmedia WiFi down ?Mines been down nearly 24 hrs 🥲

  • AnnielizzieSten Rt. Hon Annie (@AnnielizzieSten) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia It’s strange because the online help claims there’s no problem but the phone says there’s a major problem in the area. Perhaps the online help needs updating because it’s no help at all

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • AndrewKerrison6 Andrew Kerrison (@AndrewKerrison6) reported from Rotherham, England

    @virginmedia To box not working. Got it sorted now but not happy with been miss sold a package I didn't need then had to waste more time on the phone to cancel it

  • AndrewKerrison6 Andrew Kerrison (@AndrewKerrison6) reported from Rotherham, England

    @virginmedia I tried to report a problem. The advisor was only interested in selling me a upgraded package. Miss selling packages to customers is not good practice

  • 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?!!

  • JayDS87 Jay Smith (@JayDS87) reported from Halifax, England

    @virginmedia Service status website page won’t load even on my phone service provider. I have reset my router twice. Still happening.

  • JayDS87 Jay Smith (@JayDS87) reported from Halifax, England

    @virginmedia why is my internet disconnecting every 5 minutes and the website won’t load for service updates……

  • MartinCaine Martin Caine (@MartinCaine) reported from Huddersfield, England

    @virginmedia Two whole days now with our Internet connection dropping every ten minutes. How long is this fix expected to take?

  • Callum_SEND Callum 🏳️‍🌈 🔴⚪⚫ ☮️ (@Callum_SEND) reported from Brampton Bierlow, England

    @DysphasiaPV @virginmedia Product is good but customer service terrible

  • Bexwa Rebecca (@Bexwa) reported from Dewsbury, England

  • arnie1984 James Arnold (@arnie1984) reported

    @virginmedia It's a joke though, we pay for a service and it doesn't even run properly. I'd love to say it's only a one off scenario, but it's happened more this year than others. I'd swap provider if I could but Sky in this area just doesn't reach the same level as you when working.

  • arnie1984 James Arnold (@arnie1984) reported

    @virginmedia a little unhappy that my Virgin Media services have been down from around 0730 this morning and it shows it's not going to be resolved till tomorrow afternoon. My postcode is TW19 7HY. A little unhappy as we've been unable to use services we pay for due to WiFi.

  • ExN_SKRT Adam Damarell (@ExN_SKRT) reported

    @virginmedia 4 times in 6 days that both broadband and Tv have been down for extended periods of time. What on earth is going on at Virgin media? Happy to take my £70+ a month, will be claiming compensation.

  • LornieWillins Lorna Willins (@LornieWillins) reported

    @virginmedia please answer your phone I need help with my virgin media app

  • gary_mortland Gary Mortland (@gary_mortland) reported

    @virginmedia Virgin media broadband is useless. I’ve been without service since Saturday and still not sorted🙈

  • Farke_In_El Yorkshire Sherpa (@Farke_In_El) reported

    @virginmedia I'm specifically talking about the SkySports app being down?

  • remysosav 🇯🇲 Big Savo 🇧🇧 (@remysosav) reported

    Virgin media playing up once again lol. Cant even do my ******* course unless i burn my data. @virginmedia you lot are so absolutely ****.

  • DerekMo04274549 Well Fan (@DerekMo04274549) reported

    @virginmedia I urgently need help with virgin media services. Your “help” functions and automated phone lines make it impossible to speak to a human being.

  • Farke_In_El Yorkshire Sherpa (@Farke_In_El) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. Missed the cricket yesterday cos I couldn't sign into SkySports. Still the same today. Any estimated fix time as I think it might be a national issue and not just me.

  • Kemkerr Kirstie (@Kemkerr) reported

    @virginmedia Internet justcwent down. Tried using my virgin media status but got an error msg. Is there an outage in the SL4 area?
