  @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.

  Well @virginmedia what a waste of our time today,we booked an engineer in the time slot 8-12,and nobody arrived I’m afraid.Tried contacting you,and can’t get through...can anyone help?

• 
  V-Bull (@VanceBulla) reported 26 minutes ago from Brampton Bierlow, England

  @virginmedia Faceless customer service. Can’t live chat, can’t chat to anyone on the phone. All they want to do is send you a text or a link to their website. Poor. What am I paying for? Certainly isn’t customer service

  Nick Lawton (@Pontemiller) reported 28 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 28 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

  Aidan Carey (@Aidan1964) reported 33 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!

• 
  Andrew Kerrison (@AndrewKerrison6) reported 34 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

• 
  Claire 💙 (@ClaireWinslade) reported 36 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  Moved to @virginmedia on Monday and router didn’t come. Then when it came Wednesday the internet wouldn’t connect. After 7 phone calls and an engineer called out it’s still not working 😡 and it seems if you are on hold for too long they just cut you off. So frustrating

• 
  Ed Foster (@EJJFoster) reported 37 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!!

• 
  Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported 45 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?

  Sam Watts (@SamWatt30745054) reported 45 minutes ago from Barnsley, England

  @virginmedia 7 days and still no @O2 resolution

• 
  Jamie Whalley (@jamiewhalley87) reported 51 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @virginmedia I have been trying to get through to your cancellations department since Saturday. In total, I have been on hold for 3 hours. 1 hour intervals before you cut me off. Your txt service is SH*T. Your agent introduced himself as working for Three, before he disconnected

• 
  Andy Kershaw Media 🎙 (@andyksheffield) reported 57 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

  What an absolute shower of shite service as usual from @virginmedia they literally couldn’t care any less

  @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia I'm not in the least bit surprised, they have the worst customer service in telecoms.

• 
  Richy (@MTFC_RIch) reported 16 minutes ago

  @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia Happened to me a few yrs ago. We had 3 wks outage, which they said was due to a part failing and would take 3 wks to get a new part. Left as soon as contract up and found a deal less than half what they were charging for same service

• 
  John Priestley (@JohnPriestley70) reported 16 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I am trying to link. I can get as far as confirm transfer. After a few seconds I get an error message page saying something about expired, then it jumps to VM page with login. Could not get a screenshot of the error message, it disappeared that fast.

  Urban Groove (@Urban__Groove) reported 18 minutes ago

  @virginmedia How dare you give your crap partners O2 @O2 permission to set up a direct debit in my account without my permission? 😡 Next time you pull a stunt like that i will end my contract immediately and go else where, You thieving B******* 😡

• 
  John (@Johnm7fr) reported 19 minutes ago

  @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia I had them at my mothers when I lived there. ******* useless. Got my own house and the previous tenants had Toob so it was all set up just had to make an account with them. Haven’t had a single issue. £25 a month and the speeds are great as well

  Terry McCann (@hit_him_terry) reported 21 minutes ago

  For a service they failed to provide, @virginmedia isn't that fraudulent under consumer protection laws?

• 
  Mark Sutherland * (@markenello) reported 25 minutes ago

  @BrianNicholso16 @virginmedia Their customer service is appalling, I've told them i am leaving and the date, which is my contract end date so they have sent me a bill for beyond that on out of contract fees

  Lyndon (@lyndondp) reported 27 minutes ago

  @britfoodfinder @Benleo @virginmedia 29 days on and still account is locked. Had a reply to my oncoming complaint a week ago saying it would be unlocked in 3-5 working days from 18th May. Another 4 weeks and an official complaint to OFCOM will be going in if still unresolved
