    @virginmedia why should I have to pay when I’m not being able to use the service I pay for

  • bromley001 Si (@bromley001) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Rebooted my phone earlier, no effect. Not actually had to call or text anyone today, but my signal icon has said 'Emergency Calls Only' all day. I'll definitely check that signal strength link though, thanks.

  • heaton2111 John Heaton (@heaton2111) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia The service seems to have been interrupted again. Been fine all week.

  • harryd20200 Haz (@harryd20200) reported from Wakefield, England

    @SpottedRothley Yeah mine has been on and off all week, sick of ringing them and listening to there excuses & engineer carnt call till Friday,asked for compo and the Indian advisor starts shouting at me. Unbelievable poor quality of staff at #virginmedia

  • crawfordjane74 Jane Crawford (@crawfordjane74) reported from Wentworth, England

    @virginmedia ....I just want to cancel Premier Sports. The guy who answered after 30 mins was polite but your system crashed twice. Not sure it's been cancelled and don't have another spare 30 mins to call again

  • NickNwarhurst Nick Warhurst (@NickNwarhurst) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia the company that’s only looks after new customers, not long serving ones. Me: paying £34 for vivid100. New customers £29 or £34 for vivid200. VM customer services, well you can have vivid200 for only £54. 😳🤬

  • JoeInSheffield Joe 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺🔶 (@JoeInSheffield) reported from Sheffield, England

    @TrainedPengling @virginmedia The problem I have with this, is that whenever their broadband has gone down, so had my mobile with them at same time. Like when it all went down nationwide earlier this month. Having free 4g when you actually can't connect is kinda pointless lol

  • crawfordjane74 Jane Crawford (@crawfordjane74) reported from Wentworth, England

    @virginmedia ....it's about time that you had a service where you cancel part of your package via your TV.....30 mins on hold isn't funny😡

  • JaseCritchley Jase Critchley (@JaseCritchley) reported from Hoyland Nether, England

    @virginmedia I didn't realise when I negotiated a deal I'd be automatically entitled to no compensation and rubbish customer services. Lesson learnt.

  • tryfbellamy tryf (@tryfbellamy) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia gunna sort your shit internet out or what

  • JaseCritchley Jase Critchley (@JaseCritchley) reported from Hoyland Nether, England

    @virginmedia Yes, dispite your Call Centre saying no area issues your status page says otherwise. Fix at 10pm. Lost all services not just internet.

  • Colderthananice Maxine Spencer (@Colderthananice) reported from Mexborough, England

    @MetLineDriver @virginmedia Remember they were on my bad company list

  • relish_hendy Relish Hendy (@relish_hendy) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia dear team I can't check account online as don't have login details handy but area code is sheffield 14 I think theres been no TV or WiFi since about 5pm please check status of area

  • tal_kev kev adams (@tal_kev) reported from Hoyland Nether, England

    @virginmedia come on now,This is getting pathetic now.trying to watch a film on Netflix and it's buffering all the time.15mps supposed to be 100mps.absolute joke.should be able to cancel contract as I am not getting what I pay for#falseadvertising#lyingthroughyourteeth

  • bromley001 Si (@bromley001) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia No, everything on there is telling me 'very good'. But! Ironically, during this very exchange, my signal has popped up (although it's now not as strong as when I started writing this Tweet). Looks like me looking at the website has scared it into working. :D

  • heaton2111 John Heaton (@heaton2111) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for response. It seems better this morning. All I needed to know is that it was a Virgin issue, not an issue with my hub.

  • JoeInSheffield Joe 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺🔶 (@JoeInSheffield) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Nothing has happened today, I'm just commenting on your offer to give all broadband customers free mobile 4g when your broadband goes down. Whenever my broadband had gone down, so has my cellular connection also.

  • craigs06 ¿craig? (@craigs06) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia Ran a test on the super hub itself. Its resolution to the Wi-Fi is to move close to it. Am 6 foot from it !

  • w47carr Mrs c (@w47carr) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia are you aving problems with ITV channel mines gone off in the s70 area

  • bromley001 Si (@bromley001) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia It's the same place & situation as yesterday, and, once again, after a few hours of no signal, once I actually Tweet about it, it suddenly reappears! No worries here now, ta.

  • its_a_tweetlife Georgie K (@its_a_tweetlife) reported

    @virginmedia Is there no discretion or flex on this?Whilst ordinarily I’d take out a new contract, I can’t afford to be tied into a contract that I will have to cancel early & incur cancellation fees, on the sale of the property by the Landlord.

  • tombowran Tom Bowran (@tombowran) reported

    @virginmedia Your online tech guy got me to reset my hub and said that would sort it?!?! Whooopie we reset it all the time. Still have the same issues

  • AshSaunders1999 Ashley Saunders (@AshSaunders1999) reported

    @virginmedia Yep. All the rooms say Great except one which is poor. It’s more the connection dropping out we want to sort, the speed isn’t great but we need the service especially working from home

  • chrisofscotland Chris 🎗🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@chrisofscotland) reported

    Internet down again. This week has been awful @virginmedia.

  • chrisofscotland Chris 🎗🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@chrisofscotland) reported

    @virginmedia Says it’s fine. Keeps dropping intrrnet, then the wifi signal.

  • BobbyB1981 Rob Blackett (@BobbyB1981) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve logged a complaint via your web page hopefully there’s someone in that team with some customer service skills!

  • richscrich Rich Clarke (@richscrich) reported

    @virginmedia The 5GHz band had forgotten its name and was using what looked like a MAC address instead. So it was broadcasting but I couldn't connect because the SSID was wrong. I don't know why. I reset the network name in the control panel and now it's showing again on my devices. Thanks!

  • MinaDhillon Mina Dhillon 💙 (@MinaDhillon) reported

    @virginmedia Well I would if I can actually speak to someone from Virgin. Are you able to arrange a call as I have several questions about this? Eg 1. We have the new router Gig 1 router plugged in. Can you confirm this is activated your end? If activated - why is the connectivity so bad?

  • little_ealing LittleEaling Primary (@little_ealing) reported
