  @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

• 
  GiinaGii 🐱🌿 (@giinagii) reported 1 minute ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia Third time it's been down today now. Yes completely down, we have no Internet at all. What other services do you mean? We only have broadband with you. Yes, I've booked but not until next week, we CAN NOT have this service for 3-5 days before someone comes out?!

• 
  V-Bull (@VanceBulla) reported 3 minutes ago from Brampton Bierlow, England

  @virginmedia Faceless customer service. Can’t live chat, can’t chat to anyone on the phone. All they want to do is send you a text or a link to their website. Poor. What am I paying for? Certainly isn’t customer service

• 
  Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported 5 minutes ago from Wombwell, England

  @virginmedia How do I open a complaint then, because I’m still stuck on the phone with her and she is refusing to let me make my complaint.

• 
  GiinaGii 🐱🌿 (@giinagii) reported 5 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia So you're telling me to be without stable /any Internet for at least 3-5 days and that is okay and acceptable? No. We work from home. You need to fix this.

• 
  Chirpy Frances (@chirpyfrances) reported 11 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  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

  Debbie 💜 🦋🦉 (@DeborahTaylor3) reported 12 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia I hung up the call, rang back and spoke with a lovely man. Reset my email, password and answered all my quedtions. All the men are when you call, the female was awful. But thank you for the response

• 
  Marc Riley (@Sheffield_Boy) reported 17 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?

• 
  The Churchill (@Churchill0782) reported 22 minutes ago 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

• 
  Michael Collinson (@Mcollinson72) reported 22 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @virginmedia awful and aggressive scare tactics from your not so friendly cancellations rep when trying to cancel my service. God help any vulnerable person that tries to do the same thing. Shameful

• 
  -BMiller- (@BMiller36990477) reported 24 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @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

  Oliver Dean #TeamLH (@ollieinleeds) reported 31 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 39 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @PaulbernalUK @virginmedia It’s fine here but earlier in March we were left without any service for days at a time . The reason given was service upgrades. Ring them on 150 for an automated update

  Sam Walker (@SamWalker03) reported 40 minutes ago 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 ?

  GiinaGii 🐱 (@giinagii) reported 41 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @Condieflyy My virgin media went down this morning too 👀

• 
  Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported 45 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

  Victims Voice (@victimsvoice73) reported 49 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia Yes both mum n dad are virgin and we’re still getting no signal

  Sammo (@redmollster) reported 6 minutes ago

  @virginmedia how do we get a new HBO activation email? We have TNT sports but don't appear to have the invitation email. All the online help simply sends us round in circles and trying to get through on the phone takes ages. Surely this should be quick and simple?

• 
  Sinead Nash (@nashs) reported 7 minutes ago

  Thank you @virginmedia for this well timed outage that means I’ll need to need to take my laptop on holiday 🙄🙄🙄

  @virginmedia broadband is not working in Greater Manchester area. Never buy broadband from Virgin Media. Top tip. 👍

  Maureen (@lifeisnuts123) reported 14 minutes ago

  @trapdoor456 @virginmedia Been with 4 providers so far inc Virgin and all been terrible when it comes to sorting problems. Pot luck I think. Can't wait to get away from the one I'm with now when the contract runs out.

• 
  Oscar (@OsCraven) reported 14 minutes ago

  @virginmedia can you improve your customer app experience? Your app is broken and your *** clearly aren't using it to see how broken it is. 1. App refreshes when swapping apps to get your requested information disconnecting Comms with a human with no ability to return 2. Unable to lodge a complaint within app 3. 2 plus hour waiting times on phone 4. Showing incorrect information about my contract (says it's ended, but it definitely hasn't) I've been without WiFi for 3 days and once again I'm stuck having to reach out on twitter to be heard.

  Success W Lewis (@SuccessWLewis1) reported 16 minutes ago

  @Pirat_Nation @virginmedia has been having issues all week. Can't turn on or off my smart light, can't download or play anything online. All I can do is play some old DVDs and Games on disk.

• 
  Adrian Weale (@Edeaulx) reported 16 minutes ago

  I would contact you directly @virginmedia but your 'My Virgin Media' website won't allow me to sign in. I assume that this kind of obstructiveness is what got you fined so lavishly by @Ofcom

  Croí Na hÉireann (@na_croi) reported 19 minutes ago

  @daphmc_ @Rugby_Scoop @virginmedia Not rattled at all. Any game v The ABs was always at the very best for Ireland a 50/50 game. We could have won that game after being 14-0 down but just left ourselves too much to do after a slow start. Disappointed but not rattled.

  I was told I would get £40 credit on my account for poor service but it had not been taken away from my bill,instead ypu have stated that I owe £40 from last month instead. Lying again. @virginmedia
