  Simon Day (@SiDay14) reported 7 minutes ago from Dewsbury, England

  @virginmedia Did you even read the thread?? Now you want me to complain about an issue I’ve complained about several times already? The whole point is your pathetic response to issues!

  @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

  @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.

  Andrew Kerrison (@AndrewKerrison6) reported 21 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

• 
  Andrew Poppleton 💙 (@popsgolf) reported 32 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?

• 
  Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported 34 minutes ago from Wombwell, England

  @virginmedia I’m trying to resolve an issue with your collections team regarding an incorrect default and because I no longer bank with the same account and do not have those details, they won’t talk to me, yet they are happy to just take money off me without telling me why. It’s disgusting

• 
  Claire 💙 (@ClaireWinslade) reported 46 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

• 
  Callum 🏳️‍🌈 🔴⚪⚫ 🔰 (@Callum_SEND) reported 50 minutes ago from Brampton Bierlow, England

  @virginmedia I appreciate you trying to help. The issue is with the virgin contract being 18 months and the "new" o2 deal being 24 months and how this would impact as I looked to renegotiate in 18 months

• 
  Helen-Claire Stone (@Helen_Claire71) reported 51 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.

• 
  Sam Watts (@SamWatt30745054) reported 55 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

• 
  Andy Shelton (@SheltonAndy) reported 55 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!!

• 
  GiinaGii 🐱🌿 (@giinagii) reported 56 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia Third time it's been down today now. Yes completely down, we have no Internet at all. What other services do you mean? We only have broadband with you. Yes, I've booked but not until next week, we CAN NOT have this service for 3-5 days before someone comes out?!

  Amanda Brightmore (@mandybaps1) reported 58 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @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

• 
  Andrew Kerrison (@AndrewKerrison6) reported 59 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

• 
  Chris,,,, (@pidgpie) reported 1 hour ago from Rotherham, England

  Virginmedia on form again check my status no tv no Internet gets worse everytime it's down

• 
  Andy Kershaw Media 🎙 (@andyksheffield) reported 1 hour 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.

  If anyone else has had horrendous Customer Service from @virginmedia please don’t except what ever rubbish they push back to you with.

• 
  Heppo (@neilheppen) reported 6 minutes ago

  @virginmedia @GeoffJonners Why should that matter. An existing customers should be offered the same renewal deal whether online or by speaking to an agent. But of course that's not the case - and even the online renewal offer goes up or down every couple of days. Time the regulators got to grips with it.

  Rebecca Réva (@AvaniEbony666) reported 7 minutes ago

  @virginmedia What about WIFI or does your boss really don't care?? 3 Weeks without proper service complaints many times and nothings been sorted!! If it isn't then I WILL BE LEAVING Without PAYING THE REMAINDER OF CONTRACT (or if I do it'll be £1 with 3rd part debt collection) I ain't happy

• 
  Manoj Parmar (@MannyParmar) reported 8 minutes ago

  @virginmedia you’ve made no provisions for your vulnerable customers in the LE5 5AA area after a lightning strike took out comms for everyone? Your estimated time to fix has gone from 24 hours to 4th June which is over a week away! How are life line pendants going to work?

• 
  Scarlett Shaw (@ScarlettShaw) reported 8 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Unless you’re going to assist me in fixing your software updates, I don’t see what you can do. But it’s a big problem not being able to rely on your box to record what I’ve asked it to because your constant software updates keeps wiping them.

  Virgin media is so bad it took me turning my phone wifi off and on again 3 times and resetting soundcloud twice just to put on a song

  @PeteUK7 @virginmedia Don’t worry automation and AI will never make mistakes! RIP

  CarryOnGemma (@CarryOnGemma) reported 14 minutes ago

  @virginmedia this has gone beyond the pale now. You already know all the issues my dad and I have had for, well, weeks now. Dad had all his recordings deleted and now his new recordings are recording and now he’s watched part of something he can’t go back and watch it because it says the recording has failed. This has happened on every recording. It seems to record fine then changes to failed. Get this sorted and get the broadband sorted. How @Ofcom isn’t all over this I don’t know. Pushing people to take the V6 and then a year later this happens. Shocking.

  @PeteUK7 @virginmedia It was several years ago and I didn't pay you a penny. I was sharing the story to warn others about using your ****** company. Please **** off, particularly with your automated trash replies.

  @virginmedia An update on what has gone wrong on your network would be a good l, my wife and I have lost a day's work each and my father who is recovering from a hip operation is now threatening to use DVDs as the TV isn't working, this means he would need to get onto the floor to use them.
