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

• 
  Andy Kershaw Media 🎙 (@andyksheffield) reported 18 seconds 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

  Terry Hague (@TezzaBelle88) reported 2 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  Anyone else’s @virginmedia WiFi down ?Mines been down nearly 24 hrs 🥲

• 
  John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported 2 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.

  GiinaGii 🐱🌿 (@giinagii) reported 9 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia So you're telling me to be without stable /any Internet for at least 3-5 days and that is okay and acceptable? No. We work from home. You need to fix this.

  Oliver Dean #TeamLH (@ollieinleeds) reported 18 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

  Rt. Hon Annie (@AnnielizzieSten) reported 19 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @PaulbernalUK @virginmedia I can’t help with that. Good luck.

  John Armitage (@ArmitageJohn) reported 20 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?!!

  Alex (@alexwhit3head_) reported 23 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

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

• 
  Andrew Kerrison (@AndrewKerrison6) reported 23 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

  Sky sports red button not working with @virginmedia there’s a shock

  Jamie Whalley (@jamiewhalley87) reported 36 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

• 
  Chirpy Frances (@chirpyfrances) reported 38 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  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

• 
  Rt. Hon Annie (@AnnielizzieSten) reported 38 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

  Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reported 42 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @KevEdwardsRetro I've been with them for years (Yorkshire Cable before that) but changed to the @vmbusiness service to get 4G backup only to find that it doesn't work when their device is in modem mode. Unable to get through to them though - worst support/customer service I've ever experienced

• 
  Andrew Kerrison (@AndrewKerrison6) reported 54 minutes ago from Rotherham, England

  @virginmedia To box not working. Got it sorted now but not happy with been miss sold a package I didn't need then had to waste more time on the phone to cancel it

• 
  Callum 🏳️‍🌈 🔴⚪⚫ 🔰 (@Callum_SEND) reported 54 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

• 
  Andrew Lee (@goonie2008) reported 54 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.

  Kate and her girls (@kateandhergirls) reported 5 minutes ago

  @MartinSLewis plz help. @virginmedia told me I was out of contract when in fact I have another yr, tried to switch plans via your site & im currently paying £36pm for 500mb whereas new customers can pay £22.99 for 1GB. VM slapping me with almost £400 get out fee. 😭 #virginmedia

• 
  Shaun (@shauny67) reported 7 minutes ago

  @QxPain_ @virginmedia You said router with ethernet under the pc, is the pc connected with eithernet or WiFi as if both this will cause a loop back if on the same network and hence why WiFi is not working. For best rest result connect the pc via ethernet & phone to WiFi

  Dave #oafc (@Rusty_Barnacle) reported 7 minutes ago

  @SilvesterLuke @virginmedia Stop pestering me jesus that's about ten messages.. I cant ******* fix it

• 
  Karl Dyer (@KarlDyer15) reported 11 minutes ago

  To work for @virginmedia you don’t need a brain cell, maybe the worst company in the UK I’ve ever had the displeasure of dealing with. Avoid them at all costs

• 
  Kate and her girls (@kateandhergirls) reported 12 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Your chat colleague already looked into it and was incredibly rude and basically said tough you’re an existing customer on a contract and we don’t help our loyal customers, just new ones 🙄

• 
  Darren Danks (@thedazdanks) reported 13 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I’m sure I’m not the only one who doesn’t have their phone next to their hub. What if an elderly customer has phone and hub in separate rooms but need the phone as part of their care and wellbeing. Would your advice still be to just move one of them?

• 
  Mark Oram (@markoram1) reported 18 minutes ago

  And goes on more broken promises of a call to resolve , if you have the opportunity leave @virginmedia as soon as you possibly can .

• 
  Eternal Elneny (@eternalelneny) reported 20 minutes ago

  @virginmedia With all due respect, the engineers have been there all day, I saw two of them having a 40 minute lunch break at 10am at Greggs. Can you push these engineers to get this completed today? Compensation isn’t a valid response to not being able to work - ridiculous service

  @thenorth4theeu @virginmedia Who id you change to? I have had enough of Virgin. My internet works but the landline has not worked for months. It is impossible to get help from them.
