  John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported 8 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia I’ve had that email. I’ve also had another email this morning saying they’re sorry to hear I’m unhappy with my broadband speed. I’m not! I’m unhappy with a call out charge being applied, which was promised to be reversed and never has been!

  The Churchill (@Churchill0782) reported 12 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

  @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

  @virginmedia Oh yes and I’ve phoned. It appears to be that yesterday’s problems haven’t been resolved.

  Andy Shelton (@SheltonAndy) reported 22 minutes ago from Heckmondwike, England

  Absolutely disgraceful service from @virginmedia again. If I could change I would! Do not go with them if you have a choice!!

• 
  John Armitage (@ArmitageJohn) reported 23 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia hi guys, I’ve been without TV services for over two weeks now. Every attempt to@reach you has me going around in circles. Tried the app. Doesn’t recognise my email, and doesn’t recognise my acct no + area ref. Please help. Can I talk to someone?!!

• 
  Debbie 💜 🦋🦉 (@DeborahTaylor3) reported 24 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

  Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reported 33 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @KevEdwardsRetro I've been with them for years (Yorkshire Cable before that) but changed to the @vmbusiness service to get 4G backup only to find that it doesn't work when their device is in modem mode. Unable to get through to them though - worst support/customer service I've ever experienced

  Chris,,,, (@pidgpie) reported 35 minutes ago from Rotherham, England

  @virginmedia any known issues broadband off S65 area pc hard wired no internet . phone connected to WiFi without internet. Re booted router etc my status no known issues

• 
  Rt. Hon Annie (@AnnielizzieSten) reported 39 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

• 
  Adam (@tevowl9) reported 49 minutes ago from Brinsworth, England

  @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

  @DysphasiaPV @virginmedia Product is good but customer service terrible

• 
  Ed Foster (@EJJFoster) reported 53 minutes ago 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?

• 
  Ed Foster (@EJJFoster) reported 53 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @virginmedia hi is there an issue in wakefield with the broadband? It has been off all afternoon. Constantly on the blink!!

  Andrew Lee (@goonie2008) reported 57 minutes ago 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.

  irons1de (@irons1de1) reported 2 minutes ago

  @JamieGBarry @virginmedia Having the same issue with @virginmedia I just have the internet with them and they have just doubled my price and won’t offer anything where as a new customer can get the same deal for just over £20 it’s disgusting no incentive to remain a customer with them

• 
  mike gorman💙 (@MonsterMikeyG) reported 2 minutes ago

  @JamieGBarry @virginmedia I cancelled @virginmedia after 15years last week as my bill hit £200. They offered me a decent package but I said no. Phoned me over 6 times over the next 2 days before I answered only for them to offer me a worse deal than the one I turned down. Madness

• 
  GingaGill💙👩🏻‍🎓😷  (@GingaGill) reported 6 minutes ago

  @PeteUK7 @virginmedia Yep…experienced issues with Santander & Portsmouth water co. The latter wanted to speak to account holder to confirm closure ! The former insisted my father had made changes to his online banking; a bit tricky really as he was dead& they didn’t have any internet. Total nightmare

• 
  RednalNut (@RednalNut) reported 11 minutes ago

  @JamieGBarry @virginmedia I was with them for twenty+ years since they took over from Telly West. They did exactly the same to me. Never again dropped them & managed to encourage family and friend's to do the same.

• 
  Gary George (@Gazmac92) reported 12 minutes ago

  @Billymawa @PeteUK7 @virginmedia BT did this to my mam when my dad died and when they after the third time of her telling them he died they asked if he needed an ambulance. Don’t know why they thought her first reaction to him going into cardiac arrest was to cancel the internet not save his life.

  🇬🇧 FI is awesome 😎 (@GrahamCompton) reported 17 minutes ago

  @JamieGBarry @virginmedia Leave. Send back the equipment at their cost. Get your partner to order a new contract via a comparison site. Claim cashback. Been there, done that. Totally nuts customer service by Virgin.

• 
  Stewie (@Dudley1976) reported 19 minutes ago

  @PeteUK7 @virginmedia @skytv are just as bad. My mum was recently trying to cancel the contract in the name of my recently passed father. It was when they asked to speak to the bill payer that the formal complaint was made…

• 
  KellySeven 🦘🍁 (@KellySeven3) reported 24 minutes ago

  @PeteUK7 @virginmedia When my husband died @Optus (Australian telco) harassed me for about two years about his bill and phone. Years. Told them over and over and over that he was dead. It was awful.

• 
  Noëlle Ombre de la Rue (@noelle_nole1) reported 26 minutes ago

  @PeteUK7 @virginmedia The most frustrating for me was trying to cancel my husband’s mobile phone contract. In the end I lost it and told them they could sue his estate. As if by magic a supervisor appeared and sorted it out.

  @QuickRespoxd @virginmedia @virginmedia I got on the phone for a simple upgrade but your appalling 'service' had just inspired me to leave . Waste of space , ruined a once good company
