  Andy Kershaw Media 🎙 (@andyksheffield) reported 58 seconds 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.

  @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 .

  Amanda Brightmore (@mandybaps1) reported 6 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia Useless you haven't addressed my points. I will go directly to the managing director Lutz Schueler. Really disappointed and I woukd have expected better considering I have been a loyal customer.

  @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

  Rt. Hon Annie (@AnnielizzieSten) reported 18 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

  @virginmedia got a flashing Internet light on router that won't go away so my WiFi (and therefore TV/ streaming etc) not working. Tried rebooting, resetting, the works. Online help / faq no help. Are there any issues?

  Aidan Carey (@Aidan1964) reported 50 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!

• 
  Michael Collinson (@Mcollinson72) reported 54 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!

  @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

  Reading all the tweets from you idiots who haven't got unlimited 5g hotspot. Been paying for this for years. For this very moment. **** you #virginmedia

• 
  entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported 10 minutes ago

  @BertySi @virginmedia That's certainly the least they should be doing IMHO. This is a ridiculously long period of being unable to access their service @virginmedia, can this be organised as a matter of urgency? I have sent a DM as well

• 
  not jay (@notjay92349724) reported 10 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I sent a notice of cancellation on 16/03/26. So my service would end and be disconnected on 16/04/2026, as advised by one of your customer reps.

  Martinayres65@outloo (@Martinayres65o1) reported 20 minutes ago

  @virginmedia are you gaslighting me. 6 days without broadband or TV and you still haven’t done anything to resolve the issue. I live in a city so it’s not as if I’m in the middle of nowhere making it difficult for you to resolve the issue

  @virginmedia The team were awful, offered£25 and you took £900 over 4 months. Shameful.
