    @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

    @virginmedia Did you even read the thread?? Now you want me to complain about an issue I’ve complained about several times already? The whole point is your pathetic response to issues!

  • guyrleech
    Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia I do need assistance over why the 4G backup didn't kick in when I had an outage last week but I've raised that with you already, I hope

    Andy M (@AndyM50760310) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @virginmedia That is really poor. It should be for Virgin to sort not the public. I spent an hour on the phone on Thursday speaking to a next to useless overseas call centre.

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

    @virginmedia How do I open a complaint then, because I’m still stuck on the phone with her and she is refusing to let me make my complaint.

  • goonie2008
    Andrew Lee (@goonie2008) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia @O2 Its definitely you lot Robin as your broadband service was a disgrace when I moved to you and I had to pay out for cancelling contract early. If this is what’s to come O2 then you will a customer of over 15 years.

    Rebecca (@Bexwa) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @virginmedia The TV that it glitches on cant reach the box to get it wired in (but its only 10 ft away) I can't hard wire my laptop in. It goes off all the time! And then keep texting me saying you are coming for the WiFi pod after speaking with customer service. Im paying a fortune for this

  • 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

  • John_murphy1
    John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia how do I order a new hub please? My current one loses network access and needs rebooting every hour or so. Not ideal when working from home. There are no known service issues so I’m thinking it’s a hub issue.

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

    @virginmedia first day of your internet snd massive regrets ! Can I cancel ? Cutting out constantly 😫

  • popsgolf
    Andrew Poppleton 💙 (@popsgolf) reported from Wentworth, England

    @O2PriorityUK I’m struggling to connect with app. I’m a @virginmedia account holder. Initial you sent me a code but via my mobile. Now my phone number is placed in the box it doesn’t recognise it. Help?

  • Mcollinson72
    Michael Collinson (@Mcollinson72) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia ongoing intermittent issues with my broadband for weeks now and yet your website gives no option to get through to anyone to help despite it promising to do so. Keeps telling me to check back in 24 hours. Unacceptable level of service!

  • John_murphy1
    John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia I’ve had that email. I’ve also had another email this morning saying they’re sorry to hear I’m unhappy with my broadband speed. I’m not! I’m unhappy with a call out charge being applied, which was promised to be reversed and never has been!

  • 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

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

    Sam Walker (@SamWalker03) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @virginmedia I’ve been hung up on three times this morning by your contact centre! All your willing to do is pass on the “feedback” do you have anyone customer service trained I can speak to ?

    WARNING I've had the dreadful new @virginmedia 360 box imposed on me (Virgin updated box without my consent and wiped all my recordings) With the old (36) box, to go to an alphabetical list of recordings was ONE button press With the 360 box it's FOURTEEN!!! Truly awful

    Alan Roberts (@AlanRob68902430) reported

    @virginmedia You don't need a contact number you can clearly see my name my postcode is Nosey number 4koff and yes I WAS the account holder 9:23 AM 9:23 AM What I posted on x was A LEGAL NOTICE because you constantly marked my credit file after 30+ years as a customer, I gave you 30 days notice and you billed me for 2 months, also you conned me into believing I got a cheaper tariff if I took out an o2 simcard, then you told me o2 was nothing to do with you and I would have to contact o2, since the day the contract was taken out I HAVE NEVER used the simcard an I'm in the process of issuing a claim against virgin media to recover all the money taken from my account from o2 I have emailed the ombudsman over this. 9:31 AM 9:31 AM Oh how nice as I'm talking to you I get a threatening text you will apply charges if I don't return your crap as per terms and conditions, how about I charge you £7.50 per week for the space you rented from me ?, this conversation will be posted in its entirety

    Chris (@Swissffs1980) reported

    @trapdoor456 @virginmedia I did exactly same. Sacked Virgin off, expensive and loads of problems. You Fibre have been spot on 👍 I wouldn’t change from these now. Never had problems and cheap.

    @virginmedia Hi, we've had a broadband/TV outage most of today & we're told it would be repaired by 22.00 tonight. Now the latest update says it will be 15.45 tomorrow 29th. I work online from home so awkward is an understatement. How is this taking so long? F012401961.
