  Andy Kershaw Media 🎙 (@andyksheffield) reported 2 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia @lionsgateplusuk Wish I could enjoy this but my so called 500mb service is so poor I’ve virtually been without internet for a week. Finally your team viewed it as urgent because I do work from home on Zoom and…an engineer is coming on Tuesday. When BT Reach put full fibre in my area it’s bye bye

  Sam Walker (@SamWalker03) reported 2 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 ?

  Michael Collinson (@Mcollinson72) reported 4 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

  Debbie 💜 🦋🦉 (@DeborahTaylor3) reported 18 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

  Callum 🏳️‍🌈 🔴⚪⚫ 🔰 (@Callum_SEND) reported 33 minutes ago from Brampton Bierlow, England

  @virginmedia @virginmedia @O2 if you're going to sell merged packages to your customers then you really need to improve your joint customer service.. just batting me back to the other without an answer is simply unacceptable

• 
  koko 🌻 (@Koko__Johnson) reported 34 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  Virgin Media have the worst customer service in the world

• 
  Martin Spiers (@martinaspiers) reported 40 minutes ago from Oughtibridge, England

  @virginmedia That would appear only to relate to your services? I'm not a customer (except via 02).

• 
  Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reported 43 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

• 
  Ed Foster (@EJJFoster) reported 43 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @virginmedia hi is there an issue in wakefield with the broadband? It has been off all afternoon. Constantly on the blink!!

• 
  Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reported 46 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @vmbusiness strike yet again!😠 Not only are they charging me £7/month for 4G backup that doesn't work, they are now charging me £4 for paper bills that I never asked for. Oh, and still say I owe them money despite me overpaying due a to a red letter that they took by DD later

• 
  Prof Maddy Arden (@maddyarden) reported 46 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia our broadband down without warning and service update says you hope to fix this by 5th April! Why so long? We rely on this for work - unacceptable

• 
  Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported 46 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

  Louis Romégoux (@RomegouxLouis) reported 52 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia please sort the Sky Red button issue which is preventing Sheffield United fans subscribed to Virgin from experiencing the service they've paid for.

  @virginmedia Virgin media lies to its customers who request a hub 5 router., they will state that "its not compatible " or "only for 1gb customers only " this is both a lie even M100 customers have been given Hub 5 routers it is disgusting the lies that customer service tell

  @gblondon1 @skytv I detest #SkyTv awful company but no Virgin Media in my area yet

• 
  Sarah Ludford 🇬🇧 🇮🇪🇪🇺 🇺🇦 (@SarahLudford) reported 21 minutes ago

  I want to scream, as so often with ‘customer service’ [sic] these days. @virginmedia and @O2 have merged; neither of my passwords works. I click a link to reset and all I get is ‘verification of email address’ not ‘reset password’. So fed up.

  @gblondon1 @skytv @virginmedia Great tech ✅ Great Fast Broadband ✅ Wait until renewal comes around ❌ Try and get hold of someone to discuss it ❌ I too am a Virgin customer btw
