  • StuN_UK StuN UK (@StuN_UK) reported from Sheffield, England

    @SkyHelpTeam Losing patience waiting for you to contact me about changing my V1 Sky Q box for V2. Fed up with some UHD recordings having software errors. 6 months left on my contract but I’m considering taking a financial hit, terminating it & leaving for @Virginmedia

  • StevenDixon25 Steven Dixon (@StevenDixon25) reported from Barnsley, England

    @skytv and @virginmedia you are having a Reyt made tonight, ordered boxing and missed first half hour cause it wouldn’t come on, sound keeps going and now I’ve got some awful sounding crap crowd noises through. Sort it out ffs!!! #WhytePovetkin

  • cathd100 Cat Wasnidge (@cathd100) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia can you confirm the issues with wifi today in S62WG? Attemping to work from home is very difficult when the wifi keeps disconnecting. Virgin website says no issue!

  • nicohobson nicohobson (@nicohobson) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia hi , your text service is awful and your agent went missing for 20 mins after I passed security and then said they were going to be an hour? It took 2 days for you to get back in the first place

  • lisasevern Lisa Severn (@lisasevern) reported from Sheffield, England

    @SkyHelpTeam wow, it's hard to buy a new service from you guys. You're in danger of making Virgin Media look good here

  • slivaugh51 Sylvia (@slivaugh51) reported from Brampton Bierlow, England

    @virginmedia Had problems with our WiFi, engineer turned up at the door we asked shouldn’t he be wearing a mask 😷 he answered “nah we’ve run out” seriously Virgin you’re sending out engineers to peoples homes without masks!!!!

  • blade4life17 Andrew Challenger (@blade4life17) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia how do I cancel my service with you as I no longer need it as I've moved address and it's not round the address I'm currently at

  • stuartbquick Stuart Bolton (@stuartbquick) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia I’m not impressed. Switched for phone and broadband on 31st Aug. Telephone switch got rescheduled on the day of installation! Had to get existing provider to extend contract for 2wks. Broadband is constantly buffering and now gone down. @NOWTV @VodafoneUK better.

  • TheTownCryer1 The Town Crier ☝🏻 (@TheTownCryer1) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia @PlayAvengers @Arekkz He’s got his hair on upside down

  • gavinr77 Gavin Rees Dance (@gavinr77) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @virginmedia YES - Finally, after 6 days of waiting online, and phoning and texting everyday. #VirginMedia, you need to sort out your after sales and customer service, it's horrendous!! Nobody should be left waiting for 6 days!!

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

    @virginmedia my internet is down, can’t actually speak to anyone to tell you about it. Absolute joke

  • mechasquid Andy Welland (@mechasquid) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia hi there! Do you have a customer support email address at all? Broadband customer here. I can’t get through on phone or live chat and need to discuss service issues and wish to downgrade service. Hope you can help!

  • Reverand_dave Rev dave walker (@Reverand_dave) reported from Horbury, England

    @Ofcom why are you still allowing virgin media to provide intermittent tv, broadband and phone packages without punishment. In our area over the last two year they have provided an awful service. Constantly going down or intermittent. Horrible customer service.

  • simonjs Simon Scott (@simonjs) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Never mind, I’ve sorted it. 56 minutes on the phone this time, but at least I got through to someone.

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

    @virginmedia Great, wifi down again. Beginning to wish I hadn't renewed with Virgin 🤨

  • RonofReepham Ron Luton-Brown 🏳️‍🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@RonofReepham) reported from Conisbrough, England

    @virginmedia I'm visiting family in Denaby Main And the internet is terrible for a cable service! It keeps dropping out and SLOW!

  • dale_beverley84 dale beverley (@dale_beverley84) reported from Wombwell, England

    @virginmedia why did you promise us broadband by today yet still an engineer has not been out to do the work then to install. This is shocking service.

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • iVysnia Ignas Vyšnia (@iVysnia) reported

    @virginmedia calling to support just says it's an area fault, and there's absolutely no information on what/why or WHEN is it going to be fixed? and then sends me a link to your service checker which says everything is fine. So just wait until it magically gets fixed? 8th day with no info

  • McGuinnessKevin Kevin McGuinness  (@McGuinnessKevin) reported

    @alexbloor It’s basically BT being allowed to swallow up EE all over again. That should have never been allowed, also Virgin Media and o2 joining forces should have been stopped also.

  • Tomrw7 Tom Williams (@Tomrw7) reported

    So you cant watch Eubank Jr Vs Benn unless you pay for a monthly subscription to DAZN and then pay PPV price on top or you are a Virgin Media customer. I wonder how many illegal streams will be watched for this fight. The DAZN model is so broken!

  • fredwin Fred Irwin (@fredwin) reported

    @virginmedia Really not helpful. Still lost my complaint. Called to check appointment, got text a link to report issues. The link doesn't work. Shambles.

  • TomTheOwens TomTheOwens (@TomTheOwens) reported

    @virginmedia ive been waiting since 8am for a reply from your team to cancel my internet. I cant be in a queue as i was there as soon as you opened today. Can i just cancel my direct debit? Because this is ridiculous and its not the first time ive tried

  • FluxMarsh Flux Marsh (@FluxMarsh) reported

    @virginmedia are turning into complete fascists! Cost of living crisis and yet no leeway on delayed account payments. When querying with your webchat, I was lied to about "network disruptions to improve service quality" and then told "Pay or we will cut you off". Tf? Foul CS!

  • signedupforgiv1 notabotjustinhuman (@signedupforgiv1) reported

    @virginmedia For the past day, I've not had a stable internet connection (keeps disconnecting and reconnecting) for longer than the 30s it takes to check my "connection" on your service status. Could you please tell me if there are issues in the postal code HA1 area?

  • jasondflynn Jason Flynn 💙 (@jasondflynn) reported from Letchworth Garden City, England

    @virginmedia @Ofcom - can you help with this situation? As you monitor, telecoms companies; Do you think 3-hours worth of phone calls, being cut off 3 times and 80 minutes on WhatsApp (and counting) is good enough service from @virginmedia just to renew a contract ? #virginmedia

  • Tezcatcatl1 Tezcatcatl (@Tezcatcatl1) reported

    @virginmedia No outages In the area. Some things connect but others constantly disconnect, or refuse to connect. Wi-Fi is slow other things are wires but still don't connect

  • EmJayScott Emily H (@EmJayScott) reported

    @paulaldinho @SkyHelpTeam Apparently there was an issue with Virgin Media broadband - if that’s who you’re with!
