  @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 .

  @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.

  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

  Ryan Wilson (@rywilnot) reported 21 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

  John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported 22 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia how do I order a new hub please? My current one loses network access and needs rebooting every hour or so. Not ideal when working from home. There are no known service issues so I’m thinking it’s a hub issue.

  @virginmedia Useless you haven't addressed my points. I will go directly to the managing director Lutz Schueler. Really disappointed and I woukd have expected better considering I have been a loyal customer.

  Andy Shelton (@SheltonAndy) reported 26 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!!

• 
  Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported 28 minutes ago from Wombwell, England

  @virginmedia I tried that and that’s how I got stuck in this situation. Is there a number I can call that is DIRECT for a complaint?

• 
  Andrew Lee (@goonie2008) reported 28 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia @O2 Its definitely you lot Robin as your broadband service was a disgrace when I moved to you and I had to pay out for cancelling contract early. If this is what’s to come O2 then you will a customer of over 15 years.

  The Churchill (@Churchill0782) reported 29 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @virginmedia do you care to give an update regarding services being down in the WF1 area of Wakefield? You estimate keeps changing which is becoming really annoying!! Literally 1000s of households without an Internet connection. #wakefield #poorservice

  Oliver Dean #TeamLH (@ollieinleeds) reported 30 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

  Jules Tee (@xjuewx) reported 31 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @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 !!!!

• 
  John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported 39 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia No problem, and thank you for sorting it out quickly. May be worth making sure telephone staff tell customers about call out charges as I had no idea they applied in this situation.

  Abdullah Mulla (@a8dullah_mulla) reported 41 minutes ago from Heckmondwike, England

  @virginmedia somethings never change, £21 price increase can’t get you good customer service. Complaint logged for the second time, will I get response this time? 🤔

• 
  Aidan Carey (@Aidan1964) reported 44 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @virginmedia I'm a new customer and cannot access my account. I've spoken to your customer service team a number of times and they haven't been able to sort my issue out. My account is tagged as a secondary account, but I'm the primary account holder!

  anne l (@annie7hudds) reported 51 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

  Oli B (@olibrown77) reported 51 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @pauldevine1986 @virginmedia We are still down in S7. Nearly 24 hours now. Saying 2pm is the updated fix time. But that keeps getting pushed back 🙄😡

• 
  Michael Collinson (@Mcollinson72) reported 57 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @virginmedia ongoing intermittent issues with my broadband for weeks now and yet your website gives no option to get through to anyone to help despite it promising to do so. Keeps telling me to check back in 24 hours. Unacceptable level of service!

  @O2 why oh why have you made it so damned difficult to login to my account now that Virgin Media are involved ! All I want to do is login to my account the old fashioned way without the need to check my email, return to the original page etc…..

  MakkaZilla (@MakkaZilla) reported 7 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I moved back to you 6 months ago, and until recently things were going okay. But I've just lot service again, I've lost count of how many times we've lost connection in the last 2 weeks or so. What on earth is going on???

  Andy (@GetItQuietly) reported 11 minutes ago

  @TempletonPeckJr @thetimes Oh, I remember that. Took up a free offer with the Times. The hoops I had to jump through to cancel it. Second only to Virgin Media.

  Catherine Jeffery (@cathypops2010) reported 16 minutes ago

  @virginmedia @D4N7O It’s not working in the Oldham area either but it’s working for Sky customers

• 
  VB (@Vincent2455) reported 22 minutes ago

  Received a text from @virginmedia asking me to return an unused device or they will charge me for something I did not request. Made the mistake of calling for address stickers for the return item. Big mistake!! No support! No idea. No stickers. How will this play out in court!!

  Matt ⚡️ (@MattOfTheSouth) reported 22 minutes ago

  @virginmedia any reason why I can't get gig2 as a gig1 customer? Is it only available to new customers? Ridiculous if so. Postcode checker says it's available on my postcode if I was to order a new package?
