  Aidan Carey (@Aidan1964) reported 2 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @virginmedia I'm a new customer and cannot access my account. I've spoken to your customer service team a number of times and they haven't been able to sort my issue out. My account is tagged as a secondary account, but I'm the primary account holder!

  The Churchill (@Churchill0782) reported 4 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @virginmedia I've checked and definitely not entitled due to the amount of days with no service. Like I said, a good will gesture. People who are working from home haven't been able to work for a start. Only been with you a few weeks and have nothing but issues.

  @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

  Chris McCulloch (@Chm14Mc) reported 7 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @virginmedia as a rejoining customer, how do I set up an account with my old accounts e-mail address? #gettingstuck #shouldbeeasier

  Jamie Whalley (@jamiewhalley87) reported 13 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @virginmedia I have been trying to get through to your cancellations department since Saturday. In total, I have been on hold for 3 hours. 1 hour intervals before you cut me off. Your txt service is SH*T. Your agent introduced himself as working for Three, before he disconnected

  Michael Collinson (@Mcollinson72) reported 15 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

  Adam Hutt 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@SBOmad) reported 15 minutes ago from Swinton, England

  @virginmedia Broadband went back down for me around 16:30 and no internet etc and like others your website is still failing

• 
  Phil J (@TWO_Librans) reported 19 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

• 
  Debbie 💜 🦋🦉 (@DeborahTaylor3) reported 22 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

  @virginmedia why is the red button on sky sports football not working no option to watch the live games ?? Poor service

• 
  Amanda Brightmore (@mandybaps1) reported 34 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia I've emailed MD and they called me within the hour and sorted my issue out within 10 minutes. You should be ashamed of yourselves

• 
  Amanda Brightmore (@mandybaps1) reported 35 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.

  Sky sports red button not working with @virginmedia there’s a shock

• 
  Rt. Hon Annie (@AnnielizzieSten) reported 41 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

• 
  Sam Watts (@SamWatt30745054) reported 42 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

  Paul David Phillips (@paul_phillips83) reported 42 minutes ago from Barnsley, England

  @virginmedia the cheek or virgin media staff complain about virgin router dropping out constantly call raise a complaint and tell them router is disconnected from network and request a hub 4 as been told this is what’s needed I get told I have to upgrade to 1 gig for new router

• 
  Padge 👌 (@AdamPagett3) reported 46 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @virginmedia That checker like my service doesn't work

• 
  Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported 47 minutes ago from Wombwell, England

  @virginmedia I tried that and that’s how I got stuck in this situation. Is there a number I can call that is DIRECT for a complaint?

•

  @virginmedia Yes but it’s no help if it keeps changing, this is the third estimated time fix it’s shown since Thursday

• 
  megb (@Gbarch1) reported 4 minutes ago

  @Ofcom @virginmedia virgin media has been totally down since 28th May at 10pm. Many people in my area are affected. The potential fix date has been moved forward several times. The latest is 1st June at 12. They haven't given any explanation and their Whatsapp is suspended. Help!

  O2 (@O2) reported 4 minutes ago

  @kimerthywoo Hi it's us from Virgin Media O2. Sorry to hear your having this issue. If possible could you send us a screenshot of the error you are getting over a private chat, so we can look into this for you.

• 
  mike davies (@DavMichael) reported 5 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Finally back on just before compensation has to be paid funny that. So we just have to accept no service with no consequences for yourselves.

• 
  Graham FIrth 🇬🇧💙💛🤍🐕 (@firth_graham) reported 7 minutes ago

  Thanks @virginmedia for cancelling installation due today with less than 24 hours notice. Great you think it’s acceptable to now leave me for 2 weeks with no working from home or security cameras. Customer services can’t be bothered to call back, guess I’m leaving before joining

• 
  Ana Atkinson (@Ana1Atkinson) reported 9 minutes ago

  @virginmedia These problems have been on & off since Thursday. Will we get compensated & will Virgin issue a statement to their customers to let us know what is going on? It seems like you have serious problems & just keep saying it will be fixed in 24 hrs. I have no landline, tv or internet

• 
  dAve Fletcher 🦉 (@_dAveFletcher_) reported 11 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Maybe it's just premiers that I can't watch, The Bride, The Running Man etc.... I can watch older stuff. That's poor form!

• 
  Mrs c (@w47carr) reported 12 minutes ago

  So been without WiFi and tv because of @virginmedia outage in barnsley since early morning supposed to be fixed by 5pm tonight and 4g is useless

• 
  Danny (@danny_smuudger) reported 14 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Second time in three days broadband has gone down in the CM16 area at circa 10pm. Are you unplugging it to save a few shillings? Such a poor service

• 
  Mark vix (@Vikk3rs146) reported 14 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Leaving because of your ineptitude.. I should take legal action against you for the lack of service you’ve provided causing me and my wife a multitude of hassle cos we work from home .. jokers
