    @virginmedia any known issues broadband off S65 area pc hard wired no internet . phone connected to WiFi without internet. Re booted router etc my status no known issues

  • 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

  • martinaspiers
    Martin Spiers (@martinaspiers) reported from Oughtibridge, England

    @virginmedia That would appear only to relate to your services? I'm not a customer (except via 02).

  • 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.

  • SamWatt30745054
    Sam Watts (@SamWatt30745054) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia you are aware that a lot of older, more vulnerable people have had alarm and safety devices installed that depend on a safe, fast, reliable service. The one that they, like, you know pay a lot of money for

  • BMiller36990477
    -BMiller- (@BMiller36990477) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Sure, office this morning at about 8am. No service and Internet access by 9.30M and popped back late morning and still nothing around 10.45am. So finished my admin at home with my own broadband connection. Didn't call or raise the issue as its a pointless exercise. Cheers

    Abdullah Mulla (@a8dullah_mulla) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @virginmedia well done 👏🏽 new way of resolving complaints! Offer a resolution that you know customer won’t accept so you can pass on to an adjudicator… all in a record time of 8mins!!!

    Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reported from Wakefield, England

    @vmbusiness strike yet again!😠 Not only are they charging me £7/month for 4G backup that doesn't work, they are now charging me £4 for paper bills that I never asked for. Oh, and still say I owe them money despite me overpaying due a to a red letter that they took by DD later

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

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

  • SiDay14
    Simon Day (@SiDay14) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @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!

  • ArmitageJohn
    John Armitage (@ArmitageJohn) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia I've emailed MD and they called me within the hour and sorted my issue out within 10 minutes. You should be ashamed of yourselves

  • Churchill0782
    The Churchill (@Churchill0782) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia do you care to give an update regarding services being down in the WF1 area of Wakefield? You estimate keeps changing which is becoming really annoying!! Literally 1000s of households without an Internet connection. #wakefield #poorservice

  • Pontemiller
    Nick Lawton (@Pontemiller) reported from Knottingley, England

    I think very soon I'll be saying 👋 to @ThreeUK and 🤝 to @virginmedia...over the last couple of years, the signal has got increasingly worse. I have just bought a new phone, but the problem persists...really unhappy.

    @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia For a media company they are extraordinary bad at being able to communicate, had them once-never again.

  • textmaniac78
    Adam Weston (@textmaniac78) reported

    @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia I got told once and I don't know if it works but if you ring up and upgrade to another package it's classed as a new contract so you can cancel within 14 days maybe worth looking into doing that

  • tomcity1
    tom (@tomcity1) reported

    @virginmedia Is your broadband the worst available?

  • samtilston
    Sam Tilston (@samtilston) reported

    This isn't just a bad press cycle for Virgin Media O2. We are tracking a specific pattern of synthetic 'outage' reports designed to trigger algorithmic short-selling and erode public trust in UK telecoms infrastructure during a sensitive regulatory window.

  • 1992JDBX
    B (@1992JDBX) reported

    @virginmedia you lot are ******* shocking !!!! Needed internet for my new house you installed the outside service to the wrong address had to cancel the order and now everyone I speak to you at yourself passes me to someone else or don’t understand simple English !!

  • _Alfista
    ... - ..- 𝚂𝚝𝚞 (@_Alfista) reported

    @jen_moxon Their Customer Service, the word ‘service’ doing a lot heavy lifting here, is the worse. They randomly cancelled my DD without notice then bill me for late payment… @virginmedia Nice broadband, sh*t service, will go back to BT at renewal time.

  • andrhay12
    andrhay (@andrhay12) reported

    @virginmedia when will the problem with TV and broadband in the SE1 be fixed this has been ongoing for 2 weeks now. Intermittent broadband and tv for 2 weeks. last 3 days no TV services - no updates

  • NevilleGaunt
    Neville Gaunt 💡💡💡 (@NevilleGaunt) reported

    @virginmedia You’re 24 hours too late … why such a poor response time here and holding on the phone?

  • MelinaKakoulid7
    Melina Kakoulidis (@MelinaKakoulid7) reported

    I think the @virginmedia customer services agents are like computers rather than human beings they are unable to have any conversations and comprehend on what is being said to them by a human being. They are working from a script and are unable to deviate from a script.
