    @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

    @virginmedia what's the issue with answering a call? Line went dead, my mum can't receive incoming texts and is due an upgrade. Your customer service is terrible, God only knows what will happen when I call for TV

  • andyksheffield
    Andy Kershaw Media 🎙 (@andyksheffield) reported 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

  • xjuewx
    Jules Tee (@xjuewx) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia not good when my 82yr old mum was left with no phone service so no health emergency service and city wide alarm for the last 2 days.... not good enough !!!!

  • Hi1mMark88
    Mark Hewitt (@Hi1mMark88) reported 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

  • GAMINGDRAGONUK
    GAMING DRAGON (@GAMINGDRAGONUK) reported from Hoyland Nether, England

    @virginmedia I already have and I reported the fault bit it see like you have a service outage in my area

  • 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

  • pidgpie
    Chris,,,, (@pidgpie) reported from Rotherham, England

    @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

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

    @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

  • AdamPagett3
    Padge 👌 (@AdamPagett3) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia That checker like my service doesn't work

  • andy_english
    Andrew English (@andy_english) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @LordTets @virginmedia Go to Ofcom... you have clearly given them ample time on numerous occasions to resolve your complaint. Life is too short to spend your time waiting for promised calls and web chats... let the ombudsman deal with them.

  • SheltonAndy
    Andy Shelton (@SheltonAndy) reported from Heckmondwike, England

    Absolutely disgraceful service from @virginmedia again. If I could change I would! Do not go with them if you have a choice!!

  • rwgladwin
    Richard Gladwin (@rwgladwin) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia were there issues in S9 around 1020 this morning?

  • ClaireWinslade
    Claire 💙 (@ClaireWinslade) reported 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

  • 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

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia what’s going on with internet service in HD8 area ? I don’t want to have to wait 23 hours before calling a technician as advised by your service page

  • 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!

    Another two tries today. One I had to give up after 55 minutes waiting, now on 44 minutes. Seriously @virginmedia you are now a joke. Was just going to cancel my TV, I am seriously looking up Broadband alternatives while on hold.

  • Peter_ldn_ire

    @virginmedia I’ve been on phone trying to speak to someone for over an hour waiting / web chat is not not working - what is going on

  • CaroleWinter

    @virginmedia please answer the phone. You are one broken system

  • obbsie
    Chris Hobbs (@obbsie) reported

    @virginmedia For fours hours I've been holding for customer service and listening to the same piece of dire muzak over and over again. Across SM I see nothing but complaints about customer service & a failure to respond. This surely isn't good enough.

  • seanpaulguitar
    Sean Redmond (@seanpaulguitar) reported

    @virginmedia @Dominiho7 Just leave it they scrap them anyway. They ALL have vulnerable exploited intel chips in them that they never patched and keep refusing to admit

  • lisakitching1
    lisa kitching (@lisakitching1) reported

    @virginmedia I literally tried all day yesterday to get through to someone, web chat and WhatsApp weren’t working . How are we supposed to get support if can’t contact anyone

  • GarethYOURCXC
    GarethYOURCXC (@GarethYOURCXC) reported

    @OCP_84 @virginmedia @tntsports That is just bonkers! Clearly "valuable" is being used in the wrong context. Their 'new' acquisition numbers are more important that long term customer loyalty/value.

  • jseviour14

    @AsstVirginmedia @princehowl_ This is an automated response. Zoe doesn’t exist. Virgin media is crap.
