    @philsid @virginmedia Me either mate. Was surprised actually. Only issue is the line speed was poor as they use the old bt phone lines so gaming ping could be a nightmare. I changed back soon as I could but thier name is mud up here mate

  • dawnproc 👻🤩DP 🤩👻 (@dawnproc) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia why have you just contacted me to tell me my internet service will be disconnected in four hours as we need a new router?? We had one last week and you’ve been out to it twice since 😳

  • 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.

  • 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 😌

  • Reverand_dave Rev dave walker (@Reverand_dave) reported from Horbury, England

    @virginmedia Customer service i can forgive in this climate with people working from home

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Reverand_dave Rev dave walker (@Reverand_dave) reported from Horbury, England

    @virginmedia Its off more times than its on of late. I'm still getting an intermittent line issue on my bb which ive had pretty much from day one and the whole service goes off in wakefield/ dewsbury area at least once a week. Its off now.

  • 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 :)

  • 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.

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

  • JordRd Jordan Reid (@JordRd) reported from Sheffield, England

    @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

    @virginmedia I moved back to virgin in Feb as I had a house move and it wasn't on my new street.Soon as they put it in I switched back to you but it certainly isn't the "always on" service I remember. I've had a new tivo within 2 months. Line issue. And repeated loss of service.All in 6 month

  • dawnproc 👻🤩DP 🤩👻 (@dawnproc) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Hi, no issues with Hub or my account so I’m guessing it was a scam call 😳

  • 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?

  • 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?

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

  • Howardaayo Howard AYO (@Howardaayo) reported

    @virginmedia That's where I have been trying to get support, but imagine they keep you waiting for a whole day and weeks without responses. Some of these experiences could amount to a breach of contract.

  • Ryceryce Rhianon McAulay♀ (@Ryceryce) reported

    @virginmedia internet went down around 13:45. Spoke to Customer Service was told engineer would be with me in 4hours. 4 hours later no engineer. Called back, rudest agent ever, enjoying his crisps down the phone, then tells me it’s not my hub but my area.

  • SquidersGaming SquidersGaming (@SquidersGaming) reported

    Virgin media was fine all day then just takes a huge **** for no reason 🤌

  • gryofrey gryofrey (@gryofrey) reported

    @virginmedia your customer service is atrocious, I called to cancel service after waiting to be out of contract to avoid early cancel fees only to get hit with higher charge and extra £25 for final month AFTER cancelling

  • MrRichAnderson Richard Anderson 💙 (@MrRichAnderson) reported

    @virginmedia To be honest it's my belief that some of my equipment is out of date and could do with being replaced. Sadly it seems that isn't an option and my patience has run out with it. I will call customer services again and look to take my business elsewhere.

  • jsladee17 Joel Slade (@jsladee17) reported

    @virginmedia i can connect to stuff but in my voice call my voice is robot like and when i try to play games with friends i get removed from the game due to connection issues

  • breeze1jo Joanne Ellis (@breeze1jo) reported

    @virginmedia They haven’t they keep saying they have sorted the problem but they haven’t. I have made numerous phone calls since Saturday, 4 today and it’s still not sorted. Would really like to talk to someone who can really help.

  • uk_prepping UKPREPPINGSHOP (@uk_prepping) reported

    @DalePCooper @virginmedia They sold out to usa hedge funds couple years ago hence the scaling back of Service but costs going up...disgrace

  • Ellis_sthone Ellis Stokes-hone (@Ellis_sthone) reported

    @virginmedia Already done this, says you hope to fix it by 23:05... says you have found a fault.. hope this gets foxed asap

  • Mic_Allen Mike Allen (@Mic_Allen) reported

    @virginmedia trying to get disconnected from VM under the price change rules is a horrendous process, but it will be so worth it never having to deal with the terrible customer service ever again
