  Helen-Claire Stone (@Helen_Claire71) reported 2 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia’s customer service is appalling. 3 hours to respond to a message has to be the benchmark for worst practice. Last weekend it took them 27 hours to sort out cancelling my account. Absolutely hopeless.

  @vmbusiness strike yet again!😠 Not only are they charging me £7/month for 4G backup that doesn't work, they are now charging me £4 for paper bills that I never asked for. Oh, and still say I owe them money despite me overpaying due a to a red letter that they took by DD later

  @virginmedia you must have the most unreliable internet service in the UK. Several times a year it goes down for a full working day. Again today, "Unplanned Outage" yet your van was here within seconds. Unplanned my arse. Compensate my loss of earnings! #poorService

  @virginmedia were there issues in S9 around 1020 this morning?

  @virginmedia is the email down again??

  Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported 18 minutes ago from Wombwell, England

  @virginmedia How do I open a complaint then, because I’m still stuck on the phone with her and she is refusing to let me make my complaint.

• 
  Abdullah Mulla (@a8dullah_mulla) reported 23 minutes ago from Heckmondwike, England

  @virginmedia somethings never change, £21 price increase can’t get you good customer service. Complaint logged for the second time, will I get response this time? 🤔

• 
  John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported 24 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.

  Reading all the tweets from you idiots who haven't got unlimited 5g hotspot. Been paying for this for years. For this very moment. **** you #virginmedia

  The Churchill (@Churchill0782) reported 27 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.

• 
  Nick Lawton (@Pontemiller) reported 32 minutes ago from Knottingley, England

  I think very soon I'll be saying 👋 to @ThreeUK and 🤝 to @virginmedia...over the last couple of years, the signal has got increasingly worse. I have just bought a new phone, but the problem persists...really unhappy.

  GiinaGii 🐱🌿 (@giinagii) reported 37 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia Third time it's been down today now. Yes completely down, we have no Internet at all. What other services do you mean? We only have broadband with you. Yes, I've booked but not until next week, we CAN NOT have this service for 3-5 days before someone comes out?!

• 
  Oli B (@olibrown77) reported 38 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @pauldevine1986 @virginmedia We are still down in S7. Nearly 24 hours now. Saying 2pm is the updated fix time. But that keeps getting pushed back 🙄😡

  Padge 👌 (@AdamPagett3) reported 39 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @virginmedia finally after 5 days without a service no streaming tv, being unable to work from home and having to sit in Saturday teatime eaiting for engineer while family go to Halloween party It's finally fixed Now the impossible part making contact to discuss compensation

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

• 
  Andy Kershaw Media 🎙 (@andyksheffield) reported 45 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.

  Ben Brailsford (@benbrailsford) reported 48 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 🤬

• 
  Michael Collinson (@Mcollinson72) reported 50 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

• 
  The Churchill (@Churchill0782) reported 54 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @virginmedia do you care to give an update regarding services being down in the WF1 area of Wakefield? You estimate keeps changing which is becoming really annoying!! Literally 1000s of households without an Internet connection. #wakefield #poorservice

• 
  Rt. Hon Annie (@AnnielizzieSten) reported 57 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

  Edward Barnett (@BarneeEb) reported 3 minutes ago

  @virginmedia have you now sorted the problem or will the next game be the same? We're paying for a service you're not providing. I assume you'll be compensating accordingly. 2 games, 2 failures. #useless

  Virgin Media News (@VirginMediaNews) reported 3 minutes ago

  Post-mortems are due to be carried out today on the bodies of five teenagers who died in a head-on collision on the M9 in Co Kildare in the early hours of yesterday morning. Gardaí say their car was driving the wrong way down the motorway when the crash happened. Three women and a 7-year-old girl, who were travelling in the second car, remain in hospital with critical and serious injuries. 📺 More on Virgin Media PLAY

  @cmwba @virginmedia absolute bollox service and support ,considering how much we pay for this. this is what happens when american corporations buy uk companies #virgjnmedia

  Graeson Laitt (@Laitty) reported 24 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Thanks for the reply, but unfortunately this workaround isn’t suitable. My father is nearly 80 and would not even know what an app is, let alone be able to download one, sign in, enable location services or use a web player.
