• 
  The Churchill (@Churchill0782) reported 29 seconds 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.

  Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reported 1 minute 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

  Simon Day (@SiDay14) reported 4 minutes ago from Dewsbury, England

  @virginmedia Did you even read the thread?? Now you want me to complain about an issue I’ve complained about several times already? The whole point is your pathetic response to issues!

• 
  Andrew Kerrison (@AndrewKerrison6) reported 10 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

  @virginmedia very unhappy failed install and had no service since Saturday and I'm within my 14 days to cancel yet your staff don't understand this and want to charge me for a fault call !! When do you become so crap !!!

• 
  Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported 14 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

  Jim Johnson (@jim_johnson24) reported 14 minutes ago from Shepley, England

  @virginmedia 7 days and still no @O2 resolution

• 
  Andy Shelton (@SheltonAndy) reported 20 minutes ago from Heckmondwike, England

  Absolutely disgraceful service from @virginmedia again. If I could change I would! Do not go with them if you have a choice!!

• 
  Diane Caira (@diddles1970) reported 27 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia Do you have a business outage in S8? Can't get through to anyone. Wondering whether to send everyone home?

• 
  lettiebella🦉🇬🇧 (@lettielou05) reported 29 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia hi virgin can you explain why you've referred me to a debt collection agency after I cancelled my service within 14 days snd returned equipment as it was a failed install and was advised I wouldn't be charged ? You also luckily never cancelled my sky .

  Michael Collinson (@Mcollinson72) reported 30 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

• 
  Nick Lawton (@Pontemiller) reported 32 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.

• 
  Oliver Dean #TeamLH (@ollieinleeds) reported 33 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

  Chris,,,, (@pidgpie) reported 36 minutes ago from Rotherham, England

  Virginmedia Rotherham some with no internet and no TV known issues in the area 6pm fix time

• 
  Ryan Wilson (@rywilnot) reported 41 minutes ago from Darton, England

  @SkyHelpTeam broadband this week has been shocking. Following the help and test in the app says all is well (funny that). Not really sure what I’m paying for. Back to @virginmedia

• 
  Helen-Claire Stone (@Helen_Claire71) reported 43 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia’s customer service is appalling. 3 hours to respond to a message has to be the benchmark for worst practice. Last weekend it took them 27 hours to sort out cancelling my account. Absolutely hopeless.

  Chirpy Frances (@chirpyfrances) reported 45 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

  Terry Hague (@TezzaBelle88) reported 50 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

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

  -BMiller- (@BMiller36990477) reported 56 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

• 
  Marc Riley (@Sheffield_Boy) reported 56 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?

  Craig (@SimmO73_) reported 2 minutes ago

  Has anyone got Virgin Media’s TV 360 service. Is it any good, as Virgin keeps pushing me to upgrade for free to this from the V6 boxes I have and I’m not sure. #virginmedia

  Sam Sheehan (@SamanthaJane_H) reported 3 minutes ago

  @virginmedia WHY DO YOUR CONTRACTORS NEVER SHOW UP?! 3 WEEKS OF NO BROADBAND AT THIS POINT AND NO SIGN OF ANYONE FIXING IT BECAUSE YOUR STAFF DONT TURN UP

• 
  FoundNemo (@NemoH666266) reported 4 minutes ago

  @virginmedia @D4N7O Well, it is down @virginmedia. Isn't just a massive coincidence now is it? Lol

  Davie G 🇬🇧 (@fredbeare) reported 5 minutes ago

  @biggle1908 Wouldnt touch virgin media witha barge pole, agreed to join them then customer service set in was apallingso pulled out

• 
  Charles Forsyth (@charles_forsyth) reported 7 minutes ago

  @biggle1908 @SBarrettBar @zeninternet I have both Zen and Virgin Media (two fibres). Zen is symmetric but VM is not (here), despite Zen being half the price. Symmetry (or not) depends on the underlying infrastructure supplier. VM has been great over many years, fairly usual tech support; Zen has been excellent and the tech support is very techy. ("Symmetric" here means upload and download rate is the same; often upload is much slower.)

  Richard O'Shea (@RichardOShea) reported 8 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I have a Virgin TV V6 Box with lots of tivo recordings. I received an email today stating that I need to upgrade as my v6 service will stop soon. Please advise when, so I can plan ahead. Thanks.

• 
  Sam Sheehan (@SamanthaJane_H) reported 9 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I have messaged. I have taken days off on multiple occasions to wait in for engineers to attend. I was assured that due to external works I would not need to be in today, however the issue STILL has not been fixed despite assurances it would be sorted.

• 
  Shardon (@shardon1980) reported 11 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I can’t send DMs but update. Issue won’t be fixed until 14th August . Absolutely unacceptable. No notice or comms I had to check myself. I pay you a lot of money. To be over 2 weeks with no WiFi is unacceptable. No details either and your hotline has a wait time of over 45 mins.

  @Pugsie1960 @flyabout7 Honestly what is it with these people? If they're not hacking your X or FB account they're sending scam emails. When that doesn't work they phone and tell you they're Henry from Virgin Media and your Internet is down. To quote Jim Royle Henry my a**e xxx

  Ron Rosenhead (@ronrosenhead) reported 18 minutes ago

  Hey @virginmedia - yet ANOTHER outage HA54ED. How many more will there be? My elderly mother in law had no TV for 10 days recently. You gave her compensation. How about proper service? Not good enough. Please contact me.
