    @virginmedia currently getting a spinning blue loading circle when trying to access the YouTube app via my v6 box. Any solution you suggest? Been like it for a few days now.

  • Ray_Lennox Tom Clark (@Ray_Lennox) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia what is going on with WiFi in Sheffield. It’s been awful for weeks

  • cathgray23 Catherine Gray (@cathgray23) reported from Horbury, England

    @virginmedia We got the first bill, the customer service guy was still answering my calls and he promised we wouldn’t be charged for TV. We were! Our next bill still has TV on and he is not replying to emails, texts or voicemails. One of the reasons we agreed to switch was personal service

  • ReeceBryan94 Reece Bryan (@ReeceBryan94) reported from Wombwell, England

    @virginmedia how do we get the new wifi extender pods or a new Virgin Hub? Our wifi signal and speed changes dramatically between the front and back of the house, the coverage is dreadful

  • Mr_Mark_Taylor Mark Taylor (@Mr_Mark_Taylor) reported from Kirkburton, England

    Morning @virginmedia. Is there a broadband issue for HD8? The service status facility isn’t working on your website. Thanks.

  • cathgray23 Catherine Gray (@cathgray23) reported from Horbury, England

    @virginmedia joined for broadband, being charged for Tv package which we don’t have and a phone line which doesn’t work!!! Mobile no. given to us to discuss account won’t pick up or reply to messages or emails!!! Disgusting service!

  • parky1021 simon parkinson (@parky1021) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia WiFi constantly dropping out. How do I fix this plz

  • zackwynj zack jones (@zackwynj) reported from Mirfield, England

    why’s my wifi still **** @virginmedia

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

    @virginmedia mandatory internet down again S65

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 0ssettTerrier Paul (the original Ossett Terrier 🐶) (@0ssettTerrier) reported from Ossett, England

    @carltonnash @virginmedia Good luck! Unless they're trying to retain your business, they're as bad as @sky

  • cathgray23 Catherine Gray (@cathgray23) reported from Horbury, England

    @virginmedia We discussed the Oomph package which I initially agreed to then changed my mind within the 14 days, informed the customer service guy, by phone, text and email, he said he would cancel. The engineer came and documented that TV had been refused and therefore didn’t install

  • ollieinleeds Oliver Dean #TeamLH (@ollieinleeds) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia you must have the most unreliable internet service in the UK. Several times a year it goes down for a full working day. Again today, "Unplanned Outage" yet your van was here within seconds. Unplanned my arse. Compensate my loss of earnings! #poorService

  • cathgray23 Catherine Gray (@cathgray23) reported from Horbury, England

    @virginmedia The mobile no. of the customer services chap who sold us the package. I’m not bothered about the phone line I just don’t won’t to be paying for TV we don’t have and I can’t phone virgin without my phone line or I’ll be charged.

  • 28gem Gem 💎 (@28gem) reported from Wakefield, England

    I have been trying since the 19th February to cancel my @virginmedia services. I can’t get through on the phone... ever! I’ve sent numerous messages which haven’t had any response.

  • 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.

  • leannerains Leanne Rebecca (@leannerains) reported from Sheffield, England

    @SkyHelpTeam went to renew our sky package and they quote us £99 for new package deal bye bye sky il cancel our sky package and go somewhere else and maybe try @virginmedia #ripoff

  • chococlaire77 Claire Stewart (@chococlaire77) reported from Sheffield, England

    Well @virginmedia what a waste of our time today,we booked an engineer in the time slot 8-12,and nobody arrived I’m afraid.Tried contacting you,and can’t get through...can anyone help?

  • cranworth791 Sam Millington (@cranworth791) reported from Rawmarsh, England

    @virginmedia Yeah that’s fine, or just a phone number / person to deal with? It’s my parents business and they have their property engineers coming out to view the issue on Monday. I assume they will be in touch themselves regarding the issues. Luckily it’s just rain water, and not sewage.

  • FionaElliott13 Fiona Elliott (@FionaElliott13) reported

    @virginmedia This was for installation of boxes for a new contract with you .we have been customers for years and did not wish to cancel but after the response we got and the couldn't care less attitude of your staff ,that just was enough . YOU CANCELLED AND DIDNT TELL ME ,YOUR FAILT !

  • bittershurn Bittershurn (@bittershurn) reported

    @virginmedia trying to book an appointment for an engineer to fix WiFi broadband again. Why have you made it so difficult? Every trail leads to a dribbling automated Bot. Useless.

  • BenjamienSm Ben (@BenjamienSm) reported

    @virginmedia I am struggling with extremely slow upload speeds since yesterday. Whenever I upload (which I do for work) it causes the entire connection te become unstable. The service status says there is am issue in my postcode but no indication of when this will be fixed.

  • 1001pieces Terrie (@1001pieces) reported

    @virginmedia No issues according to that site. Callers hear it ringing but doesn't ring my end. Came out about 3 weeks ago. Will WA to get package removed. Contacting you via the help on your website is impossible.

  • AndyDaley Andy Daley (@AndyDaley) reported

    Wanted to watch the World Cup but @virginmedia decided to have the second outage in a week in the L36 area. No TV or internet until midnight. Joke of a set up 🙈

  • jsan1972 jsan1972 (@jsan1972) reported

    @virginmedia I did and Rio said he would call me back within 10 minutes. That was 24 hours ago. Like I said you clearly don’t need my money. Usually when purchasing something you see the best of a company so I’ll stick with Sky if this service is anything to go by. #poor #roguelike

  • AndrewJMonk Andrew Monk (@AndrewJMonk) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for your reply John, it's just a shame your company values new customers over its long standing ones. A new customer saves £252 over the 18 month contract. Guess I'll be a BT new customer.

  • KenzieeC94 lego head (@KenzieeC94) reported

    Then when I said to the customer service assistant that if they won’t resolve my issue I’ll have to call back she said “go ahead and waste your time”, great customer service assistants @virginmedia she repeatedly told me to make an online complaint which I have done three times

  • 1001pieces Terrie (@1001pieces) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, I reported the problem. An engineer came out and confirmed an external problem. Heard nothing since.

  • christaIIize shay 🐺 (@christaIIize) reported

    @virginmedia Says there are no issues affecting my service, if it helps, im on wired connection on both of the PC's in the house and it is still disconnecting multiple times per day!
