  @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

  Andrew Kerrison (@AndrewKerrison6) reported 13 minutes ago from Rotherham, England

  @virginmedia I tried to report a problem. The advisor was only interested in selling me a upgraded package. Miss selling packages to customers is not good practice

• 
  Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported 13 minutes ago from Wombwell, England

  @virginmedia And I can’t raise a complaint on the site without having an account, which I don’t have, so that is a pointless endeavour as well

  Marc Riley (@Sheffield_Boy) reported 13 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia got a flashing Internet light on router that won't go away so my WiFi (and therefore TV/ streaming etc) not working. Tried rebooting, resetting, the works. Online help / faq no help. Are there any issues?

  Amanda Brightmore (@mandybaps1) reported 16 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia Useless you haven't addressed my points. I will go directly to the managing director Lutz Schueler. Really disappointed and I woukd have expected better considering I have been a loyal customer.

  Rt. Hon Annie (@AnnielizzieSten) reported 21 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

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

• 
  Simon Day (@SiDay14) reported 22 minutes ago from Dewsbury, England

  @virginmedia Did you even read the thread?? Now you want me to complain about an issue I’ve complained about several times already? The whole point is your pathetic response to issues!

  Andrew Lee (@goonie2008) reported 23 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.

  Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reported 24 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

  Sam Watts (@SamWatt30745054) reported 25 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

  John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported 26 minutes ago 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.

• 
  Gary Fretwell (@GaryFretwell1) reported 27 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @virginmedia I appreciate your advice, but rather than ask fellow customers for a fix I’d rather hope @virginmedia trained staff would be able to rectify this issue. I’ll try the forum, but this is not the way to run a business….@Ofcom

• 
  Callum 🏳️‍🌈 🔴⚪⚫ 🔰 (@Callum_SEND) reported 35 minutes ago from Brampton Bierlow, England

  @virginmedia I appreciate you trying to help. The issue is with the virgin contract being 18 months and the "new" o2 deal being 24 months and how this would impact as I looked to renegotiate in 18 months

  Paul David Phillips (@paul_phillips83) reported 37 minutes ago from Barnsley, England

  Sarah Sanders💙 (@SarahSanders58) reported 10 minutes ago

  @IainSankey @virginmedia They just offered me savings of over £50 a month without even asking. Still need a landline because mobile reception here is awful. Got Sky Sports, Sky Cinema, HBO, Netflix so all set to not move from the sofa when it actually starts raining.

  @virginmedia Any idea when the ongoing issues with the Sky Sports X button are going to be resolved. It's been going on quite a while now.

• 
  Samantha Asumadu (@SamanthaAsumadu) reported 14 minutes ago

  You're stronger than me. I got Virgin media down to £18 when I threatened to leave. I took their offer. and now it's gone up to £24 quid 2 years later and no doubt will go up again next year 😞

  @virginmedia @Smallworth_xx This came up last weekend... how hasnt it been sorted in time between? How wasnt it sorted during the summer if its an issue? Why do we pay so much money for terrible service

• 
  John Moore (@JohnMoo99882213) reported 18 minutes ago

  @bmstewart2004 This is exactly why I cancelled my Virgin Media subscription and moved to BT over 5 years ago. My bill went down from over £100 a month to £42 a month. When my contract is up for renewal I make contact and negotiate a deal. I am now paying £39 a month for broadband & TV package.

  @virginmedia There’s no point in me DM because you won’t change it just for me however I hope you take notice of the number of customers raising this as an issue, I would ask you to consider elderly folks like myself with joint and mobility issues who don’t wish to keep pressing the remote
