• 
  The Churchill (@Churchill0782) reported 4 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @virginmedia I've checked and definitely not entitled due to the amount of days with no service. Like I said, a good will gesture. People who are working from home haven't been able to work for a start. Only been with you a few weeks and have nothing but issues.

  Nick Lawton (@Pontemiller) reported 8 minutes ago 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.

  Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported 9 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

  @virginmedia the cheek or virgin media staff complain about virgin router dropping out constantly call raise a complaint and tell them router is disconnected from network and request a hub 4 as been told this is what’s needed I get told I have to upgrade to 1 gig for new router

  Mark Hewitt (@Hi1mMark88) reported 12 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

• 
  Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reported 15 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @virginmedia I do need assistance over why the 4G backup didn't kick in when I had an outage last week but I've raised that with you already, I hope

  Andy Kershaw Media 🎙 (@andyksheffield) reported 16 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @StueyDay @virginmedia @lionsgateplusuk The service is awful and customers find it too hard to get a prompt response. Last time this happened it took at least 8-10 emails before they got past the automated letter asking me to switch off, reboot and check all the connections.

  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

  Chris McCulloch (@Chm14Mc) reported 23 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @virginmedia as a rejoining customer, how do I set up an account with my old accounts e-mail address? #gettingstuck #shouldbeeasier

• 
  Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reported 24 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @KevEdwardsRetro I've been with them for years (Yorkshire Cable before that) but changed to the @vmbusiness service to get 4G backup only to find that it doesn't work when their device is in modem mode. Unable to get through to them though - worst support/customer service I've ever experienced

  Oliver Dean #TeamLH (@ollieinleeds) reported 36 minutes ago 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

  Rt. Hon Annie (@AnnielizzieSten) reported 37 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

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

• 
  Marc Riley (@Sheffield_Boy) reported 40 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia got a flashing Internet light on router that won't go away so my WiFi (and therefore TV/ streaming etc) not working. Tried rebooting, resetting, the works. Online help / faq no help. Are there any issues?

• 
  Karen Walsh (@kaw7676) reported 41 minutes ago from Normanton, England

  @virginmedia it’s impossible to contact them with a complaint if you aren’t a customer.

• 
  The Churchill (@Churchill0782) reported 48 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @virginmedia all services in the WF1 area of Wakefield have been down all day and looking like 6pm to be fixed. Will you be applying any credit to people's accounts?? Good will gesture and all that! #wakefield

  Andy M (@AndyM50760310) reported 53 minutes ago from Dewsbury, England

  @virginmedia That is really poor. It should be for Virgin to sort not the public. I spent an hour on the phone on Thursday speaking to a next to useless overseas call centre.

  Terry Hague (@TezzaBelle88) reported 59 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

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

  Andrew Kerrison (@AndrewKerrison6) reported 59 minutes ago from Rotherham, England

  @virginmedia I tried to report a problem. The advisor was only interested in selling me a upgraded package. Miss selling packages to customers is not good practice

  Foredeck (@Foredeck99) reported 6 minutes ago

  @virginmedia When I repeatedly, politely tell your tele sales team to remove my name from your calling list they fail to do so, I am sometimes getting multiple daily calls from you. Execrable customer service, 0/10.

  @youfibre , do you know roughly when the service will be available where I live? Before the Virgin Media buy out I could see I was on the final phase and now it’s showing I am an early bird again! I can see virgin fibre have also installed new cabinets in my street!

  @_Cheebiez I literally moved from virgin media to a different provider last year for this exact problem. Honestly they’re a joke!!

  @virginmedia All I am getting is a bot replying to check the issue in the area At least 16 household know there is an ongoing issue for months Please resolve this rather than with fobbing us off with direction to plug and unplug etc
