  Andy Kershaw Media 🎙 (@andyksheffield) reported 3 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @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.

  Rt. Hon Annie (@AnnielizzieSten) reported 10 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @PaulbernalUK @virginmedia It’s fine here but earlier in March we were left without any service for days at a time . The reason given was service upgrades. Ring them on 150 for an automated update

  V-Bull (@VanceBulla) reported 22 minutes ago from Brampton Bierlow, England

  @virginmedia Faceless customer service. Can’t live chat, can’t chat to anyone on the phone. All they want to do is send you a text or a link to their website. Poor. What am I paying for? Certainly isn’t customer service

  @virginmedia well done 👏🏽 new way of resolving complaints! Offer a resolution that you know customer won’t accept so you can pass on to an adjudicator… all in a record time of 8mins!!!

  @vmbusinesshelp @vmbusiness Thanks. The 4G backup not working since the service was installed

• 
  Michael Collinson (@Mcollinson72) reported 35 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  Slow glad to be moving from @virginmedia broadband this Friday. Their advertised speeds used to be unparalleled but since FTTP alternatives becoming available their appalling level of service and refusal to acknowledge or deal with faults has forced a once loyal customer

• 
  Claire Stewart (@chococlaire77) reported 36 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?

• 
  Michael Collinson (@Mcollinson72) reported 36 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

• 
  Michael Collinson (@Mcollinson72) reported 39 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  What an absolute shower of shite service as usual from @virginmedia they literally couldn’t care any less

• 
  Ed Foster (@EJJFoster) reported 39 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?

• 
  Ben Brailsford (@benbrailsford) reported 40 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia on hold for 40 mins so far just to get you to cancel a service I don't even want 🤬

• 
  Simon Day (@SiDay14) reported 44 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!

• 
  lettiebella🦉🇬🇧 (@lettielou05) reported 53 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia hi virgin can you explain why you've referred me to a debt collection agency after I cancelled my service within 14 days snd returned equipment as it was a failed install and was advised I wouldn't be charged ? You also luckily never cancelled my sky .

  🌸 🙀 Teresa Cooper (@Teresacooper) reported 5 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Virgin media are screwing their customers over. There is no way an engineer takes this many days to fix a large outage. Many disabled customers are put in danger bc their equipment & emergency equipment use Virgin. They charge a lot of money for a terrible service.

• 
  Simon (@cleggy1966) reported 5 minutes ago

  @virginmedia customer service is an absolute shambles. Had an appointment with an engineer for this morning due to issues in HD4 and because the wider issue has been resolved, you cancelled my appointment and didn’t even tell me. I had a separate issue to the outage. Shocking

• 
  markrmifsud (@markrmifsud) reported 6 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Now it's tomorrow 12:00 thats approaching 3 days with no service

• 
  megb (@Gbarch1) reported 12 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Ok, how about replying to my many messages? We are close to the 48 hour compensation deadline for loss of service and with an apparent 'fix' planned for Monday at 12 you are going to owe alot of people.

• 
  Steve Hilditch (@SteveHilditch) reported 13 minutes ago

  Well done virginmedia. ‘Intermittent signal in your area’ during the penalty shoot out of the champions league final. Missed most of it. Not impressed.

• 
  Wirtz machine (@DavidVaughan5) reported 16 minutes ago

  @virginmedia My virgin media phone allows incoming calls but every time I phone out its showing as busy? I cant get through to speak to anyone to fix this?

• 
  Jeannie (@jeanniecorby) reported 16 minutes ago

  @virginmedia hey team, any idea when the issues in EX3 / Exeter area will be fixed? Currently have an outage 😭

• 
  markrmifsud (@markrmifsud) reported 18 minutes ago

  @virginmedia The time to fix is pushed back nearly everything I check

• 
  Sam Tilston (@samtilston) reported 19 minutes ago

  This isn't just a bad press cycle for Virgin Media O2. We are tracking a specific pattern of synthetic 'outage' reports designed to trigger algorithmic short-selling and erode public trust in UK telecoms infrastructure during a sensitive regulatory window.

  @EdwardJDavey I watch it free on Virgin Media who are allowing free access to finals. Last final. But there are bigger issues in the country! You are just a poodle for the PM!
