    @virginmedia my 80yo Grandma has been without use of her phone for almost 24 hours. This has been reported and the automated message keeps saying will be resolved by a certain time, but that time keeps getting put back. Unable to speak to an actual person. Can you help?

  • CEjottings Norman Perrin (@CEjottings) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Rung 151 before. Just done again. Same recorded message. No help whatsoever. How about suspending my monthly charge until you sort out the problem?

  • charlottegrifff charlotte griffiths (@charlottegrifff) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @comparemkt_care hi, i ordered a wifi package with virgin media through you yesterday and part of the deal was a £75 amazon gift voucher but i’m yet to receive it. can you help 😌

  • Saphysaft Saphy (@Saphysaft) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia could somebody help pleas? I have a question about a broadband package and installation that no FAQ or community question has answered (that I could find) and there is no phone number or live chat. Thanks in advance :)

  • curt_curtdavies Curt Davies (@curt_curtdavies) reported from Conisbrough, England

    @virginmedia can't connect to any WiFi device from my modem but its working with an Ethernet cable, tried rebooting multiple times but no joy, could you advise what is required to fix the fault please #virginmedia #WiFi

  • CEjottings Norman Perrin (@CEjottings) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Done that. Looks like the TiVo box the likely problem. Needs replacing. So how do i do that? Phone leads to online help: online leads nowhere helpful, for just replacing a TiVo box. Ideas?

  • organised Shay (@organised) reported from Wakefield, England

    @daveyp @virginmedia Fortunes have been made on default settings and **** like this — though honestly I would happily move somewhere just to get virgin again.

  • ollieinleeds Oliver Dean #TeamLH (@ollieinleeds) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia How can can I get hold of you to cancel the TV service and complain about the repeated loss of service on the broadband that is financially impacting me working from home. No answer on the phone, no reply to any form of contact. #disgusting

  • LewisH90 Lewis H (@LewisH90) reported from Darton, England

    Stream down again because @virginmedia are incompetent! Catch you guys tomorrow if they can manage to sort it.

  • AbigailBriggs_ Abigail Briggs (@AbigailBriggs_) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia The estimated fix time was 8pm last night, then 10pm, then 12am and now it is 4pm. Will it be fixed by this time, or will it just be put back again?

  • kektyke1875 Ian Hart (@kektyke1875) reported from Darton, England

    @virginmedia hurry up and sort your service out. Been down most of day S75 region

  • Yorkie_Jock Derek Libberton 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Yorkie_Jock) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia hello, we had a letter saying work would be carried out on broadband 23rd Oct, my partner is at home today booked into an NHS online training course and has no service. Called cust svcs, msg says work being carried out today. Why no notification?

  • PatsyT31 PatsyT (@PatsyT31) reported from Fenay Bridge, England

    @virginmedia 54 minutes on hold, and your operative cuts us off when we were half way through discussing the issue. Shocking service!!

  • SammyJT77 Samantha Harrison (@SammyJT77) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia how do you not have an email address for customer service? You are asking that we don’t call unless it’s urgent but then all other options (text bot in particular) are not fit for purpose.

  • petershaw1984 peter shaw (@petershaw1984) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @virginmedia i have an appointment for someone to come to my house tomorow to fix my hub. Recieved this message today. Replied NO but they replied as if i had said yes. Can u confirm if someone will still attend my property or not.

    @virginmedia broadband been down for over 2 weeks. Working intermittently. Phoned on numerous occasions, on hold for over an hour each time. Tried the messaging service. Respond only when I’m at work. Abysmal service/provider. My wife works from home and is having to us hotspot

  • jojo_oh_jojo Jo of JAM Artworks (@jojo_oh_jojo) reported from Sheffield, England

    Anyone else having problems with virgin media television??

  • Martinj2091 Martinj209 (@Martinj2091) reported

    @virginmedia just got off the phone with one of your staff members after being without internet for 6 days. You as company think £5 is acceptable to give back to your customers. A joke il will be leaving for another company thank can provide a better service. @bt_uk or @SkyUK

  • RubMyBaldness NigerianBacchanalist (@RubMyBaldness) reported

    @virginmedia Yes there's issues in area but this is twice in a week and a bit.

  • charlie_spotted Charlie Spotted 💙 (@charlie_spotted) reported

    @spleenal Virgin Media is a strange beast for sure. When it works, it's superb. It's when it doesn't work and you have to deal with their customer service, they're a total nightmare. If you can actually get an engineer, they tend to be great. It's the CS that totally lets them down.

  • leahy_shan Shan (@leahy_shan) reported

    @virginmedia custom care is a joke, on hold 48 minutes and then they just cut me off - awful service.

  • javacw ray (@javacw) reported

    @virginmedia @ParalympicsGB no Internet since mid night at BH12 3, status site says no known issues

  • TeresaBudworth Teresa Budworth (@TeresaBudworth) reported from Quorn, England

    52 minutes and two escalations for @virginmedia call centre to agree the diagnosis I’d already made. ‘Your “intelligent” booster pod is not working. A new one will be with you in 3-5 working days’ No wifi upstairs for a week is unacceptable

  • XXGeorgie78XX GG (@XXGeorgie78XX) reported

    @Virginmedia My emails have stopped working again, it's saying my password is incorrect and that my mailbox is unavailable! This happened weeks ago and customer services were useless, then John supported me on here in a minute fixed it! How can I get hold of him again on here?

  • TowlsSean Sean Kennedy (@TowlsSean) reported

    @VirginMediaIE I'm having problems with my virgin media box, the box is all set up but after booting up the box I'm not getting any reception from the channels, was working perfectly about 30mins ago

  • jack02069517 jack (@jack02069517) reported

    @virginmedia Hi SC, thanks 4 ur reply. Yes - however we keep getting passed to various people who claim it will arrive but it never does. Spoke to someone this morning for 2hrs and I HOPE it’s now sorted. Nevertheless, we have no WiFi until 3.9 and have to WFH. V disappointing as a new cust
