• 
  V-Bull (@VanceBulla) reported 3 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

  Alex (@alexwhit3head_) reported 3 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  Coincidence that BT & EE has been selling broadband all day in area and now my @virginmedia is down.

• 
  The Churchill (@Churchill0782) reported 4 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

  Adam (@tevowl9) reported 12 minutes ago from Brinsworth, England

  @virginmedia on the phone for 30 minutes, WhatsApp message and technical support still not sorting us out! Oh but we can double what we pay and get a new hub!! New customers get it for £25

  Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported 16 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?

  Debbie 💜 🦋🦉 (@DeborahTaylor3) reported 23 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia what's the issue with answering a call? Line went dead, my mum can't receive incoming texts and is due an upgrade. Your customer service is terrible, God only knows what will happen when I call for TV

• 
  Helen-Claire Stone (@Helen_Claire71) reported 23 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia’s customer service is appalling. 3 hours to respond to a message has to be the benchmark for worst practice. Last weekend it took them 27 hours to sort out cancelling my account. Absolutely hopeless.

  Judge Drokk | Mark Hellewell (@JudgeDrokk) reported 25 minutes ago from Darton, England

  @virginmedia Well I don't know if the problem has been restored at virgins end I received help and advice from an outside source who showed show me how to work around the problem with manual DNS entries. But for me, working now. Thanks.

  lettiebella🦉🇬🇧 (@lettielou05) reported 27 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @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 .

  @virginmedia @Virgin Terrible service

• 
  Andy Kershaw Media 🎙 (@andyksheffield) reported 39 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.

• 
  Louis Romégoux (@RomegouxLouis) reported 39 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.

  John Armitage (@ArmitageJohn) reported 42 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia hi guys, I’ve been without TV services for over two weeks now. Every attempt to@reach you has me going around in circles. Tried the app. Doesn’t recognise my email, and doesn’t recognise my acct no + area ref. Please help. Can I talk to someone?!!

  Paul David Phillips (@paul_phillips83) reported 42 minutes ago from Barnsley, England

  @virginmedia the cheek or virgin media staff complain about virgin router dropping out constantly call raise a complaint and tell them router is disconnected from network and request a hub 4 as been told this is what’s needed I get told I have to upgrade to 1 gig for new router

• 
  Michael Collinson (@Mcollinson72) reported 46 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!

• 
  Nick Lawton (@Pontemiller) reported 47 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.

  @lennylaw @virginmedia There's an exception to every rule. Usually they're crap. Certainly the worst company I've ever had the misfortune to deal with.

• 
  FPL Hornet (@fpl_goldenboys) reported 16 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Nope. Every day to yesterday it’s been down for a couple of minutes on and off throughout the day

• 
  John O’Brennan (@JohnOBrennan2) reported 18 minutes ago

  @wattzez @ConorGallaghe_r @IrishTimes That is completely untrue. I was on Virgin Media TV Tuesday talking about the issue. Just before that programme RTE’s Prime Time did a segment. It is being very widely discussed.
