  Michael Collinson (@Mcollinson72) reported 3 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  Slow glad to be moving from @virginmedia broadband this Friday. Their advertised speeds used to be unparalleled but since FTTP alternatives becoming available their appalling level of service and refusal to acknowledge or deal with faults has forced a once loyal customer

  @virginmedia not good when my 82yr old mum was left with no phone service so no health emergency service and city wide alarm for the last 2 days.... not good enough !!!!

  Rt. Hon Annie (@AnnielizzieSten) reported 8 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia It’s strange because the online help claims there’s no problem but the phone says there’s a major problem in the area. Perhaps the online help needs updating because it’s no help at all

  @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

  Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported 16 minutes ago from Wombwell, England

  @virginmedia And I can’t raise a complaint on the site without having an account, which I don’t have, so that is a pointless endeavour as well

  Amanda Brightmore (@mandybaps1) reported 17 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia I've emailed MD and they called me within the hour and sorted my issue out within 10 minutes. You should be ashamed of yourselves

• 
  Jamie Whalley (@jamiewhalley87) reported 21 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @virginmedia I have been trying to get through to your cancellations department since Saturday. In total, I have been on hold for 3 hours. 1 hour intervals before you cut me off. Your txt service is SH*T. Your agent introduced himself as working for Three, before he disconnected

  Debbie 💜 🦋🦉 (@DeborahTaylor3) reported 27 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

  anne l (@annie7hudds) reported 27 minutes ago from Fenay Bridge, England

  @virginmedia what’s going on with internet service in HD8 area ? I don’t want to have to wait 23 hours before calling a technician as advised by your service page

• 
  Debbie 💜 🦋🦉 (@DeborahTaylor3) reported 28 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia what's the issue with answering a call? Line went dead, my mum can't receive incoming texts and is due an upgrade. Your customer service is terrible, God only knows what will happen when I call for TV

• 
  Sam Walker (@SamWalker03) reported 30 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 ?

• 
  Andrew English (@andy_english) reported 31 minutes ago from Dewsbury, England

  @LordTets @virginmedia Go to Ofcom... you have clearly given them ample time on numerous occasions to resolve your complaint. Life is too short to spend your time waiting for promised calls and web chats... let the ombudsman deal with them.

  Judge Drokk | Mark Hellewell (@JudgeDrokk) reported 34 minutes ago from Darton, England

  @virginmedia Well I don't know if the problem has been restored at virgins end I received help and advice from an outside source who showed show me how to work around the problem with manual DNS entries. But for me, working now. Thanks.

  Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported 47 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.

  @virginmedia on hold for 40 mins so far just to get you to cancel a service I don't even want 🤬

• 
  Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reported 48 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

• 
  John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported 50 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia I’ve had that email. I’ve also had another email this morning saying they’re sorry to hear I’m unhappy with my broadband speed. I’m not! I’m unhappy with a call out charge being applied, which was promised to be reversed and never has been!

• 
  Rebecca (@Bexwa) reported 51 minutes ago from Dewsbury, England

  @virginmedia The TV that it glitches on cant reach the box to get it wired in (but its only 10 ft away) I can't hard wire my laptop in. It goes off all the time! And then keep texting me saying you are coming for the WiFi pod after speaking with customer service. Im paying a fortune for this

• 
  Roy Carroll (@roycarroll1969) reported 12 minutes ago

  @virginmedia our service is down and if you look on the service down sites they are all saying the service is down. Then we speak to virgin media and they can’t see any problems. 🤯 and to give em 20 hours to look into it .. ridiculous

• 
  Graeson Laitt (@Laitty) reported 18 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I'm therefore trying to understand whether there are any additional checks or blocking options available at Virgin Media's end, as I have already exhausted the options available to me as a customer.

  🏃‍♀️ 💯 Di Brander 💯 🏋️‍♀️ (@DiBrander) reported 20 minutes ago

  Disaster has struck the Brander household. The internet is down. Virgin Media said it could be up to 24 hours til they find/fix the fault. This is when you realise that the internet makes everything work, or not work.

  welshcake74 (@Welshcake74) reported 24 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Yes. It was the bereavement team that have the most awful and length process. So I’m doing it online. But I still had to wait on the phone and have the cancellation of contract spiel even though we aren’t cancelling. Just a poor process and no consideration for the customer
