  • JordRd Jordan Reid (@JordRd) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia broadband been down for over 2 weeks. Working intermittently. Phoned on numerous occasions, on hold for over an hour each time. Tried the messaging service. Respond only when I’m at work. Abysmal service/provider. My wife works from home and is having to us hotspot

  • SammyJT77 Samantha Harrison (@SammyJT77) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia how do you not have an email address for customer service? You are asking that we don’t call unless it’s urgent but then all other options (text bot in particular) are not fit for purpose.

  • curt_curtdavies Curt Davies (@curt_curtdavies) reported from Conisbrough, England

    @virginmedia can't connect to any WiFi device from my modem but its working with an Ethernet cable, tried rebooting multiple times but no joy, could you advise what is required to fix the fault please #virginmedia #WiFi

  • AbigailBriggs_ Abigail Briggs (@AbigailBriggs_) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia The estimated fix time was 8pm last night, then 10pm, then 12am and now it is 4pm. Will it be fixed by this time, or will it just be put back again?

  • Yorkie_Jock Derek Libberton 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Yorkie_Jock) reported from Sheffield, England

  • organised Shay (@organised) reported from Wakefield, England

    @daveyp @virginmedia Fortunes have been made on default settings and **** like this — though honestly I would happily move somewhere just to get virgin again.

  • PatsyT31 PatsyT (@PatsyT31) reported from Fenay Bridge, England

    @virginmedia 54 minutes on hold, and your operative cuts us off when we were half way through discussing the issue. Shocking service!!

  • summitsleap Anita Whittaker (@summitsleap) reported from Conisbrough, England

    @virginmedia so. I left virgin media in October after 19 years, not that I wanted to. I just was fed up of new customers getting a better deal. Now I keep getting billed and its up to £150. How can I stop this. Been on the phone 20mins but had to put it down 😤😤😤

  • CEjottings Norman Perrin (@CEjottings) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Done that. Looks like the TiVo box the likely problem. Needs replacing. So how do i do that? Phone leads to online help: online leads nowhere helpful, for just replacing a TiVo box. Ideas?

  • JordRd Jordan Reid (@JordRd) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia this service is abysmal.. no one answering calls again, no live chat, how can I fix my problem if no one is available to talk to. We’ve been having issues since 26/10/20.. absolutely crap. @SkyUK we’re on our way

  • webbo999 andrew david pearson (@webbo999) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @virginmedia is there problems with sky box office paid £27 to you for the boxing and picture keeps breaking up #poor

  • Saphysaft Saphy (@Saphysaft) reported from Sheffield, England

  • petershaw1984 peter shaw (@petershaw1984) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @virginmedia i have an appointment for someone to come to my house tomorow to fix my hub. Recieved this message today. Replied NO but they replied as if i had said yes. Can u confirm if someone will still attend my property or not.

  • ollieinleeds Oliver Dean #TeamLH (@ollieinleeds) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia How can can I get hold of you to cancel the TV service and complain about the repeated loss of service on the broadband that is financially impacting me working from home. No answer on the phone, no reply to any form of contact. #disgusting

  • CEjottings Norman Perrin (@CEjottings) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Rung 151 before. Just done again. Same recorded message. No help whatsoever. How about suspending my monthly charge until you sort out the problem?

  • kektyke1875 Ian Hart (@kektyke1875) reported from Darton, England

    @virginmedia hurry up and sort your service out. Been down most of day S75 region

    @virginmedia my 80yo Grandma has been without use of her phone for almost 24 hours. This has been reported and the automated message keeps saying will be resolved by a certain time, but that time keeps getting put back. Unable to speak to an actual person. Can you help?

  • bhaveshdevji 5G boost powered by Moderna 💉 (@bhaveshdevji) reported

    @virginmedia your really need to hire friendly customer service advisors!

  • ChloeNorton92 Chloe Norton (@ChloeNorton92) reported

    @virginmedia someone needs to contact me asap! New broadband customer that's just been hung up on 3 times! And you've moved my install date by 3 weeks so I'm going to have a long time with no internet? How do I change this or im cancelling

  • lukewaterfield Luke Waterfield (@lukewaterfield) reported

    @virginmedia I sorted it but your direct debit form has some sort of bug or validation issue. Won’t recognise either long names (full surname is 19 characters) or hyphenated surnames. So one for your web team?

  • dimyma2 Mair Morris (@dimyma2) reported

    @virginmedia your check status is not working again CF63 cant check why phone is not working

  • Growlibi Growl (@Growlibi) reported

    Damn my isp Zen just compensated me for a delay with the installation of my fiber without me having to complain to them, I was happy to have it as is. Virgin Media could NEVER 🙄👎

  • datkins100 darrylAtkins (@datkins100) reported

    @virginmedia The complaint I raised a has been closed without any communication, I’ve called back today and spent another 40 minutes of my life opening another one. It seems that virgin media is another company that are good at just taking peoples money. It’s not an acceptable service.

  • mich121011 Michele (@mich121011) reported

    @virginmedia So the call centre is advising wrongly. Maybe if it was a UK call centre we might stand a chance. Roll on 2022 and we transfer to Sky, such a shame. In excess of 15 years customer loyalty - clearly stands for nothing these days 😡

  • NadeemIsmail87 NaDz (@NadeemIsmail87) reported

    @virginmedia what is going on with my TV and broadband services in the IG3 postcode. Earlier on today at 13.00 hours it was saying service will be up at 16:00 today and now its changed..!!

  • don_barrow Don Barrow (@don_barrow) reported

    @virginmedia Amy idea when I will get my broadband service restored? You carried out some crucial works on the 2nd and its been sketchy since. BN1 postcode.

  • inthecloset K##mmy (@inthecloset) reported

    @virginmedia Nopeity nope. No voice notifications received. I have raised a complaint months ago @virginmedia closed it after sending engineer who ordered boosters. Which have never arrived.
