• 
  Michael Collinson (@Mcollinson72) reported 34 seconds ago from Wakefield, England

  @virginmedia awful and aggressive scare tactics from your not so friendly cancellations rep when trying to cancel my service. God help any vulnerable person that tries to do the same thing. Shameful

• 
  Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported 9 minutes ago 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

  Paul David Phillips (@paul_phillips83) reported 13 minutes ago from Barnsley, England

  @virginmedia been on hold 15 minutes your agent been back to me yet again same telling me I have to pay extra why do virgin think that if you charge extra this will fix an issue #badcustomerservice actually get it right first time to stop repeat calls

• 
  Ed Foster (@EJJFoster) reported 15 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @virginmedia I have tried the status but its saying the service is fine. Yet all the people on out estate are complaining they cannot get onto Virgin internet. We cannot book an engineer as isolating. Why is it constantly broken or speeds so slow?

  Terry Hague (@TezzaBelle88) reported 19 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

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

  @virginmedia @virginmedia @O2 if you're going to sell merged packages to your customers then you really need to improve your joint customer service.. just batting me back to the other without an answer is simply unacceptable

  @virginmedia @Virgin Terrible service

  Rt. Hon Annie (@AnnielizzieSten) reported 27 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

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

  Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported 30 minutes ago from Wombwell, England

  @virginmedia I’m trying to resolve an issue with your collections team regarding an incorrect default and because I no longer bank with the same account and do not have those details, they won’t talk to me, yet they are happy to just take money off me without telling me why. It’s disgusting

  Rebecca (@Bexwa) reported 32 minutes ago 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

• 
  Prof Maddy Arden (@maddyarden) reported 36 minutes ago 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

  koko 🌻 (@Koko__Johnson) reported 36 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia hello, my grandmother is having issues with her TiVo Box, she's checked the cables and I've been online to check for service outage, and there's isn't any reported Can you help?

• 
  Claire 💙 (@ClaireWinslade) reported 37 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  Moved to @virginmedia on Monday and router didn’t come. Then when it came Wednesday the internet wouldn’t connect. After 7 phone calls and an engineer called out it’s still not working 😡 and it seems if you are on hold for too long they just cut you off. So frustrating

• 
  Mark Hewitt (@Hi1mMark88) reported 40 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia broadband service has dropped out in Sheffield (s5) any know issues or reasons why this has happened. Service checker isn’t giving any information

• 
  Andy Kershaw Media 🎙 (@andyksheffield) reported 42 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia @lionsgateplusuk Wish I could enjoy this but my so called 500mb service is so poor I’ve virtually been without internet for a week. Finally your team viewed it as urgent because I do work from home on Zoom and…an engineer is coming on Tuesday. When BT Reach put full fibre in my area it’s bye bye

• 
  Andrew Poppleton 💙 (@popsgolf) reported 47 minutes ago 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?

  Chirpy Frances (@chirpyfrances) reported 47 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  Been through 16 mths of lockdown, 3 working from home & hardly a glitch on the broadband. Last 8wks its gone down for several minutes a day between 10am and 1pm. Only on weekdays & its supposed to be a problem with our hub, really? An engineer could find it @virginmedia #shoddy

• 
  John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported 47 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia No problem, and thank you for sorting it out quickly. May be worth making sure telephone staff tell customers about call out charges as I had no idea they applied in this situation.

• 
  Andrew Lee (@goonie2008) reported 50 minutes ago 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.

  Chris Long (@afcwomblelong) reported 2 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Ok so no sky sports+ available to watch.. just spent over a hour and 20 minutes on a web chat queue that no human turned up to help. Now seeking compensation as I cannot view what I paid for. Please advise.

• 
  Sam Rees (@SamReesO) reported 3 minutes ago

  @Keiran_Mark @StephenP311275 @virginmedia Yeah I know but it doesn’t always work out that way. Especially when watching live sports like F1. They only give you highlights not the full programme. Actually just found out you can get SkyQ if you call them. But point is their customer care is no better than Virgin now.

• 
  Adrian Caswell (@CaswellAdrian) reported 7 minutes ago

  @bmstewart2004 The same with Virgin Media a few months ago. If they hadn’t been so greedy they would still have a customer. I’ll never go back to a big corporation if there’s an alternative.

• 
  Kathleen Peters (@kathleenp442) reported 11 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I've tried to watch it on my phone via the sky sports app and that didn't work either. Feeling disgruntled. You've managed to send a recent update to our virgin box but can't fix this!

• 
  👾 (@pxrt8i) reported 13 minutes ago

  @mark240868 @virginmedia they hope to fix by the 28th august…

• 
  The Yellow Head (@marcwalby) reported 18 minutes ago

  @IainSankey @virginmedia Interesting, this was going to be my move in October. I have never used the phone line and we don't watch any of the Virgin TV stuff. Was it really that hard to get just Broadband?

• 
  Jai Tan (@JayTinl33) reported 18 minutes ago

  @cmwba @virginmedia absolute bollox service and support ,considering how much we pay for this. this is what happens when american corporations buy uk companies #virgjnmedia

• 
  Sue Henderson 💙 (@HathorsDaughter) reported 20 minutes ago

  @IainSankey @virginmedia They're dreadful. When I enquired about social tariffs via their chat facility the agent spent ten minutes trying to add on extra fees. I decided then I'd never have anything to do with company which would exploit poor and disabled people. Enjoy your dinner and drinkies.

  Howard Freeman (@rwfc236) reported 25 minutes ago

  @virginmedia as usual Virgin media lets me down when I need it. Trying to watch the West Ham game and am in an impossible loop as my passkey is not recognised, it doesn’t actually show how or why and then the link does nothing. Pathetic as usual what a waste of money

  JulieH (@eirwenjulia) reported 26 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Im not sending a DM, You know there is a problem with interactive services on Sky Sports, I have had no access for 2 weeks. Im paying for services to Virgin which Im not getting. Tmrw Im getting legal advice, I have all my evidence, enougb is enough. Its shambolic.
