    @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?

  • John_murphy1
    John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia how do I order a new hub please? My current one loses network access and needs rebooting every hour or so. Not ideal when working from home. There are no known service issues so I’m thinking it’s a hub issue.

  • SamWatt30745054
    Sam Watts (@SamWatt30745054) reported 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

  • goonie2008
    Andrew Lee (@goonie2008) reported 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.

  • EJJFoster
    Ed Foster (@EJJFoster) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia I have tried the status but its saying the service is fine. Yet all the people on out estate are complaining they cannot get onto Virgin internet. We cannot book an engineer as isolating. Why is it constantly broken or speeds so slow?

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

    @virginmedia How do I open a complaint then, because I’m still stuck on the phone with her and she is refusing to let me make my complaint.

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

  • ollieinleeds
    Oliver Dean #TeamLH (@ollieinleeds) reported 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

  • Hi1mMark88
    Mark Hewitt (@Hi1mMark88) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia broadband service has dropped out in Sheffield (s5) any know issues or reasons why this has happened. Service checker isn’t giving any information

  • SamWalker03
    Sam Walker (@SamWalker03) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @virginmedia I’ve been hung up on three times this morning by your contact centre! All your willing to do is pass on the “feedback” do you have anyone customer service trained I can speak to ?

    @virginmedia I can’t sign in with the original details. The email is no longer mine.

  • a8dullah_mulla
    Abdullah Mulla (@a8dullah_mulla) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @virginmedia well done 👏🏽 new way of resolving complaints! Offer a resolution that you know customer won’t accept so you can pass on to an adjudicator… all in a record time of 8mins!!!

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

  • annie7hudds
    anne l (@annie7hudds) reported from Fenay Bridge, England

    @virginmedia what’s going on with internet service in HD8 area ? I don’t want to have to wait 23 hours before calling a technician as advised by your service page

    Debbie 💜 🦋🦉 (@DeborahTaylor3) reported 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

  • PractiPurple
    PracticallyPurple (@PractiPurple) reported

    @virginmedia But for over an hour your website reported that there were no issues! And then I was told I don't actually have an account at all. Why do I have to go on the Mirror website to find this all out . Bad customer service

  • NigelBak3r
    Nigel Baker (@NigelBak3r) reported

    @virginmedia Same old lines that you trot out. What I want to know is when you are going to provide the service that I am paying you for. This issue has been ongoing for over 2 hours.

    @virginmedia never experienced a more dis-jointed, unsatisfactory installation experience (installation delayed another 4 weeks on top of 7 weeks I have already waited) with any other service provider ever.
