  @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 all services in the WF1 area of Wakefield have been down all day and looking like 6pm to be fixed. Will you be applying any credit to people's accounts?? Good will gesture and all that! #wakefield

  Michael Collinson (@Mcollinson72) reported 27 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!

  Debbie 💜 🦋🦉 (@DeborahTaylor3) reported 28 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @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

• 
  Alison Pearson (@pearson_alison) reported 29 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia why is the red button not working I've paid for this service

• 
  Aidan Carey (@Aidan1964) reported 38 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!

  Sam Watts (@SamWatt30745054) reported 38 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

  Gary Steele (@steeleygash) reported 45 minutes ago from Barnsley, England

  @virginmedia why is the red button on sky sports football not working no option to watch the live games ?? Poor service

• 
  Michael Collinson (@Mcollinson72) reported 48 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @virginmedia awful and aggressive scare tactics from your not so friendly cancellations rep when trying to cancel my service. God help any vulnerable person that tries to do the same thing. Shameful

• 
  Debbie 💜 🦋🦉 (@DeborahTaylor3) reported 56 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

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

  @virginmedia do you care to give an update regarding services being down in the WF1 area of Wakefield? You estimate keeps changing which is becoming really annoying!! Literally 1000s of households without an Internet connection. #wakefield #poorservice

  Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported 56 minutes ago from Wombwell, England

  @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?

• 
  Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reported 57 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @vmbusiness strike yet again!😠 Not only are they charging me £7/month for 4G backup that doesn't work, they are now charging me £4 for paper bills that I never asked for. Oh, and still say I owe them money despite me overpaying due a to a red letter that they took by DD later

• 
  Claire Stewart (@chococlaire77) reported 57 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  Well @virginmedia what a waste of our time today,we booked an engineer in the time slot 8-12,and nobody arrived I’m afraid.Tried contacting you,and can’t get through...can anyone help?

• 
  Claire 💙 (@ClaireWinslade) reported 58 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

  Why does @virginmedia suck so bad? I'm so sick of this network.

  Stephen Hampson (@StephenHampson) reported 6 minutes ago

  @virginmedia White flashing light on the power button. Volume works but not that so can't watch catch up and can't watch any paid channels. New complaint incoming. Thanks a lot

• 
  Chris Lander (@christophlander) reported 9 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Thanks for your faux sympathy, but its still not working. Terrible service. Is there a way to compensate for this?

• 
  Pete McManus (@PeteMcManus) reported 10 minutes ago

  Update… @vmbusiness might be the worst company I’ve ever come across for customer service! Stay well away, they will miss-sell you and then ignore you, promise you a call back and ignore you! Unbelievably bad

• 
  Claire Shaw (@clairebaigent) reported 10 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I will not be sending you a private message because despite repeated calls over the past 2 years you have done nothing to help or sort it out. You’re currently charging a 90 yr old man £160 for services he doesn’t use, so please don’t patronise me.

  Jx_THT (@JX_THT) reported 14 minutes ago

  @lgwlgwlgw @virginmedia Cancel and go and buy starlink today you will be up and running within an hour

  David Owens (@DavidOw38948049) reported 14 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Why are you sending a phone number which as a non customer of Virgging and someone who does not want to become a customer cannot access ? All I want is for you to remove your broadband box from our property Also tried what’s app without any feed back ?

• 
  Matt 💙 (@mattdoctorwho74) reported 19 minutes ago

  Stream box is terrible claims be 4k, picture, colours, duller than 1988 vhs channels, chip obviously yrs behind, thats tv pulled out now, no rewind tv surely no one would pay £15 pm for sky entertainment when sky entertainment and kids is £3.99 on @NOW @virginmedia

• 
  Steven Byrne (@Lavelle250187) reported 19 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Your service is disgraceful. I joined less than a month ago and my internet has already failed twice. 1st time it was down for 3 days, now it’s been 2 days and could be a week. I want to leave your awful service, but you won’t let me. This is not what was promised!
