  @PaulbernalUK @virginmedia It’s fine here but earlier in March we were left without any service for days at a time . The reason given was service upgrades. Ring them on 150 for an automated update

  @virginmedia our broadband down without warning and service update says you hope to fix this by 5th April! Why so long? We rely on this for work - unacceptable

  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.

  Paul David Phillips (@paul_phillips83) reported 29 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

• 
  Debbie 💜 🦋🦉 (@DeborahTaylor3) reported 37 minutes ago 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

• 
  John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported 39 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.

  Sam Walker (@SamWalker03) reported 40 minutes ago 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 ?

• 
  Andy Kershaw Media 🎙 (@andyksheffield) reported 45 minutes 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

  Gary Fretwell (@GaryFretwell1) reported 47 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @virginmedia I appreciate your advice, but rather than ask fellow customers for a fix I’d rather hope @virginmedia trained staff would be able to rectify this issue. I’ll try the forum, but this is not the way to run a business….@Ofcom

  Chirpy Frances (@chirpyfrances) reported 53 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

• 
  The Churchill (@Churchill0782) reported 56 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @virginmedia I've checked and definitely not entitled due to the amount of days with no service. Like I said, a good will gesture. People who are working from home haven't been able to work for a start. Only been with you a few weeks and have nothing but issues.

• 
  Amanda Brightmore (@mandybaps1) reported 58 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.

  I'm sorry but I can't seem to pick up @rewindtvuk via @virginmedia 😒 Could you fix it for me please?

• 
  Keith A Pearson (@keithapearson) reported 23 minutes ago

  Genuinely, if there's a more incompetent company in the UK than @virginmedia, I'd be amazed. How a company can treat customers so abysmally and continue to operate is beyond me. No wonder they lock us into two-year contracts. 🤬 @MartinSLewis - I hope you've got a file open on Virgin Media.

  @virginmedia do you have any idea when our area will have service? I am unable to reach your customer service to book an engineer.

  @virginmedia any reason the WiFi signal keeps dropping out every 5 minutes or so? It really is appalling
