    @virginmedia joined for broadband, being charged for Tv package which we don’t have and a phone line which doesn’t work!!! Mobile no. given to us to discuss account won’t pick up or reply to messages or emails!!! Disgusting service!

  • 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.

  • cathgray23 Catherine Gray (@cathgray23) reported from Horbury, England

    @virginmedia We got the first bill, the customer service guy was still answering my calls and he promised we wouldn’t be charged for TV. We were! Our next bill still has TV on and he is not replying to emails, texts or voicemails. One of the reasons we agreed to switch was personal service

  • statto95 David JS Dawkes-Hall 💙 (@statto95) reported from Hoyland Nether, England

    And the 4th time today everything has gone down. How am I meant to run a medical company control room when my Internet keeps dropping out? @virginmedia are you going to pay the company for loss of income which is being suffered? Or me for that matter.....

  • parky1021 simon parkinson (@parky1021) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia WiFi constantly dropping out. How do I fix this plz

  • 0ssettTerrier Paul (the original Ossett Terrier 🐶) (@0ssettTerrier) reported from Ossett, England

    @carltonnash @virginmedia Good luck! Unless they're trying to retain your business, they're as bad as @sky

  • Ray_Lennox Tom Clark (@Ray_Lennox) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia what is going on with WiFi in Sheffield. It’s been awful for weeks

  • 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.

  • ReeceBryan94 Reece Bryan (@ReeceBryan94) reported from Wombwell, England

    @virginmedia how do we get the new wifi extender pods or a new Virgin Hub? Our wifi signal and speed changes dramatically between the front and back of the house, the coverage is dreadful

  • cranworth791 Sam Millington (@cranworth791) reported from Rawmarsh, England

    @virginmedia Yeah that’s fine, or just a phone number / person to deal with? It’s my parents business and they have their property engineers coming out to view the issue on Monday. I assume they will be in touch themselves regarding the issues. Luckily it’s just rain water, and not sewage.

  • cathgray23 Catherine Gray (@cathgray23) reported from Horbury, England

    @virginmedia The mobile no. of the customer services chap who sold us the package. I’m not bothered about the phone line I just don’t won’t to be paying for TV we don’t have and I can’t phone virgin without my phone line or I’ll be charged.

  • 28gem Gem 💎 (@28gem) reported from Wakefield, England

    I have been trying since the 19th February to cancel my @virginmedia services. I can’t get through on the phone... ever! I’ve sent numerous messages which haven’t had any response.

  • cathgray23 Catherine Gray (@cathgray23) reported from Horbury, England

    @virginmedia We discussed the Oomph package which I initially agreed to then changed my mind within the 14 days, informed the customer service guy, by phone, text and email, he said he would cancel. The engineer came and documented that TV had been refused and therefore didn’t install

  • pidgpie Chris,,,, (@pidgpie) reported from Rotherham, England

    @virginmedia mandatory internet down again S65

  • Pontemiller Nick Lawton (@Pontemiller) reported from Knottingley, England

    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.

  • Mr_Mark_Taylor Mark Taylor (@Mr_Mark_Taylor) reported from Kirkburton, England

    Morning @virginmedia. Is there a broadband issue for HD8? The service status facility isn’t working on your website. Thanks.

  • leannerains Leanne Rebecca (@leannerains) reported from Sheffield, England

  • iamscorchy iamscorchy (@iamscorchy) reported

    @virginmedia its crazy how bad virgin media has been the last couple of weeks having nothing but connection issues how am i meant to get anything done!

  • ollieread ollieread (@ollieread) reported

    @vmbusinesshelp @vmbusiness Turns out, the email was an automated mistake. Though I now need one, because there's no vm access point on the property, something your staff refused to believe me about. This has been an utterly terrible experience, and I will now have no connection to work with.

  • Carolyna_S Carolyna (@Carolyna_S) reported

    @virginmedia I have just got off the phone and was advised to keep my WiFi switched off my smart TV as a solution to the connection issues. I just had my connection drop three times In a 30min zoom call this morning, I had two engineers out I’ve had a new modem and nothing has fixed it

  • TogaTheGreat TogaTheGreat (@TogaTheGreat) reported

    @virginmedia It was dead. Both wired and WiFi. Happily, was only out about half an hour. Checking various sites that people report these things, seems was a problem for a good few. But still happens too often

  • AnthonyLyrics Be Great. (@AnthonyLyrics) reported

    @virginmedia How will I know ‘if’ the criteria hits and when will I be compensated? Because I’m expecting a swift resolution to this after all this stress and disruption

  • daft_titch Steven Scott (@daft_titch) reported

    @virginmedia The account hasn’t been paid since April. This makes no sense. Apparently £141.99 is overdue. The monthly cost of this service is £74. If payments hadn’t been made since April then surely more than 141.99 would be due.

  • Jayster209 Jamie Davies (@Jayster209) reported

    @virginmedia No one in my area is having similar issues to me. Both times it's only been affecting my address.

  • TellBroJoe Joe Eccleston (@TellBroJoe) reported

    .@virginmedia FIFTH day of intermittent TV and broadband signal and now your call centre has just put the phone down on me whilst in a queue for 30 mins! AWFUL!!!

  • RoseyMacdoo Rosey MacDoo (@RoseyMacdoo) reported

    @virginmedia Yes there was a screenshot in the tweet that followed. This happened 9 days ago too but that time I was able to register the loss of service on my account online so that automatic compensation could be applied automatically if applicable. That facility seems to have gone/moved?

  • DominicDarko17 DominicDarko (@DominicDarko17) reported

    @RomanShortall I've never had one, I refuse to get one. I don't use cable tv, my contract is with virgin Media, Netflix etc, RTE should be pay per view, or it shut down
