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 ?
-
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
-
Sam Watts (@SamWatt30745054) reported from Barnsley, England@virginmedia I’ve run test after test, at least 5-6 outages a month for last 2 years. Horrendous service and this is the final straw unless you offer me a refund of say £20 a month for last two years, if not I’m going BT and a dodgy box from Mad Frank in pub

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
-
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.
-

-
Melanie💙 (@provensportie) reported@SammyMcfarlane1 @virginmedia @alexand979677 Exactly incredible frustrating !! What is the point in them saying they will help you !!
-
Captain_red_waffle (@Cptredwaffle) reported@virginmedia 3rd street-wide outage this year in LS6 tonight. Surveyors have confirmed my property is infra-locked with zero Openreach/Altnet access. Virgin holds a total monopoly here, yet the local street infrastructure is failing. Shambolic really, I need this escalating.
-
The Yellow Head (@marcwalby) reported@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?
-
CliveR (@CliveR39) reportedAs a @virginmedia customer for a decade or so, VERY disappointing to find a problem with @SkySports Sky + red button service, taking some TEN DAYS and still not fixed @Ofcom
-
Virgin Media News (@VirginMediaNews) reportedPost-mortems are due to be carried out today on the bodies of five teenagers who died in a head-on collision on the M9 in Co Kildare in the early hours of yesterday morning. Gardaí say their car was driving the wrong way down the motorway when the crash happened.

🏎️ 🏁 Sue™️ (@Shh_DontSayIt) reportedYo @virginmedia can you sort your issues out? Every time I bloody watch TV it keeps shouting there’s a connection problem when there isn’t as it’s broadcasting tv normally and keeps blocking my screen
-
nwl (@nwl88444048) reportedNew Lucy Kennedy series gets off to a slow-ish start on Virgin Media One, especially given the pre-publicity about Tommy Fleming and the wife's comments and legal letters, reported in the Sindo and Sunday Times. An average adult audience for first transmission last night of just 71,000 with an audience scratching its head about why Fleming agreed to the interview if he didn't want to dig up the bad memories.

oldman (@gyoldsingleman) reported@CliveR39 @virginmedia @virginmedia this problem is ongoing now for at least 10 days, I want to watch on tv not the app. I pay for this service!!! Why is it so difficult to resolve?
-
Stephen Maddock (@stephenm68) reported@1RavC @virginmedia I’ve been without broadband for 22 days but because they know it’s an outage in our area a @virginmedia engineer has been “on their way” since 27 July. Have pursued every available line of enquiry but no information as to what the ****** is the reason for it not being fixed
