  @virginmedia I've emailed MD and they called me within the hour and sorted my issue out within 10 minutes. You should be ashamed of yourselves

• 
  Michael Collinson (@Mcollinson72) reported 6 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!

  Andrew Poppleton 💙 (@popsgolf) reported 11 minutes ago from Wentworth, England

  @O2PriorityUK I’m struggling to connect with app. I’m a @virginmedia account holder. Initial you sent me a code but via my mobile. Now my phone number is placed in the box it doesn’t recognise it. Help?

• 
  V-Bull (@VanceBulla) reported 18 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

• 
  John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported 18 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.

  @DysphasiaPV @virginmedia Product is good but customer service terrible

  Diane Caira (@diddles1970) reported 20 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia Do you have a business outage in S8? Can't get through to anyone. Wondering whether to send everyone home?

• 
  Rt. Hon Annie (@AnnielizzieSten) reported 25 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia It’s strange because the online help claims there’s no problem but the phone says there’s a major problem in the area. Perhaps the online help needs updating because it’s no help at all

  Sam Watts (@SamWatt30745054) reported 29 minutes ago from Barnsley, England

  @virginmedia you are aware that a lot of older, more vulnerable people have had alarm and safety devices installed that depend on a safe, fast, reliable service. The one that they, like, you know pay a lot of money for

• 
  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

• 
  Gary Fretwell (@GaryFretwell1) reported 38 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @virginmedia I appreciate your advice, but rather than ask fellow customers for a fix I’d rather hope @virginmedia trained staff would be able to rectify this issue. I’ll try the forum, but this is not the way to run a business….@Ofcom

• 
  Karen Walsh (@kaw7676) reported 38 minutes ago from Normanton, England

  @virginmedia it’s impossible to contact them with a complaint if you aren’t a customer.

• 
  Andy Kershaw Media 🎙 (@andyksheffield) reported 42 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @StueyDay @virginmedia @lionsgateplusuk The service is awful and customers find it too hard to get a prompt response. Last time this happened it took at least 8-10 emails before they got past the automated letter asking me to switch off, reboot and check all the connections.

• 
  Debbie 💜 🦋🦉 (@DeborahTaylor3) reported 44 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

  Victims Voice (@victimsvoice73) reported 47 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  Dad got rushed to hospital still in and @O2 connection is still not working in my house or mums @virginmedia mobile same problem (according to there test it’s fine) well try using it here especially when a loved one is ill and you can’t even connect a phone call &it’s a main road

• 
  Victims Voice (@victimsvoice73) reported 49 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  Anyone recommend a phone network been with @O2 for years and since it merged with @virginmedia it’s shocking. When I went on holiday before I’d never had problems this year wouldn’t let me go my own internet & here signal keeps going for phoning not to mention rise in scam calls

• 
  Callum 🏳️‍🌈 🔴⚪⚫ 🔰 (@Callum_SEND) reported 57 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

  Joanna Ayliffe (@joanna_ayliffe) reported 6 minutes ago

  @virginmedia how do you manage to charge me for a service you barely provided but won't let me bill you £25 for an engineer who did not arrive between 8 and 12 on the day in question?

• 
  Michelle Wright (@EDsetMefree) reported 8 minutes ago

  @virginmedia been with you ever since you were ntlworld, you recently changed my phone to digital with back up emergency phone, the engineer didn’t take my disability into account, has put my phone where I can’t even get to it, impossible to get through to you as you cut the call before connecting, your now not giving me the service I am paying for and in breach of contract, so I am going to cancel my direct debit for all services including tv

  lucy barnett (@lucebarnett) reported 11 minutes ago

  @EE I was on a call for 42 minutes this morning and got nowhere. Nobody wants to take any responsibility and suggesting I didn’t order despite the fact SIMs have moved over to One plan and Virgin Media contacted me about leaving. Very poor service

• 
  Chris Davis (@cdavo25) reported 11 minutes ago

  @MaxiedotVox @virginmedia Yea iv had issues for over a week now, they tell me 'o it will be fixed by the 23rd' 20min ago they text me saying they've found the issue and the engineer is on his way..... the 29th at 4pm 🤬🤬 where's the engineer coming from is it takes 6days @virginmedia

  @GrahamCompton @MartinSLewis @ao Reminds me of the 6 months I spent trying to cancel Virgin Media. Sky are almost as bad.

• 
  John (@reversebrexit22) reported 16 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I have issues with my hub dropping out. I’ve done all of the checks and waited on the chat for 20 mins for a “customer support “ individual to drop off after 5 minutes because I didn’t respond with 10 seconds of him asking a question. I have screen shots as proof

  @0xsachi I think "moat" is just a polite way of saying monopoly. First mover advantage builds a brand and customer stickiness, and I think this should be the goal, personally. But all these anti-competitive practices like making cancelling services ridiculously hard (hello @virginmedia ) or walling the garden once you get enough users (hello @facebook Open Graph) should be cracked down on, in my opinion.
