  • DeborahTaylor3 Debbie 💜 🦋🦉 (@DeborahTaylor3) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia what's the issue with answering a call? Line went dead, my mum can't receive incoming texts and is due an upgrade. Your customer service is terrible, God only knows what will happen when I call for TV

  • kaw7676 Karen Walsh (@kaw7676) reported from Normanton, England

    @virginmedia it’s impossible to contact them with a complaint if you aren’t a customer.

  • EJJFoster Ed Foster (@EJJFoster) reported 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?

  • giinagii GiinaGii 🐱 (@giinagii) reported from Sheffield, England

    @Condieflyy My virgin media went down this morning too 👀

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

  • AndyM50760310 Andy M (@AndyM50760310) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @virginmedia Help please. Tried to resolve wirh 3 members of your overseas Call Centre and was promised a call back. I can’t access my account.

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

    @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

  • xjuewx Jules Tee (@xjuewx) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia not good when my 82yr old mum was left with no phone service so no health emergency service and city wide alarm for the last 2 days.... not good enough !!!!

  • diddles1970 Diane Caira (@diddles1970) reported from Sheffield, England

  • w47carr Mrs c (@w47carr) reported from Barnsley, England

  • steeleygash Gary Steele (@steeleygash) reported from Barnsley, England

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

  • victimsvoice73 Victims Voice (@victimsvoice73) reported from Sheffield, England

    Anyone recommend a phone network been with @O2 for years and since it merged with @virginmedia it’s shocking. When I went on holiday before I’d never had problems this year wouldn’t let me go my own internet & here signal keeps going for phoning not to mention rise in scam calls

  • AndyM50760310 Andy M (@AndyM50760310) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @virginmedia I can’t sign in with the original details. The email is no longer mine.

  • Callum_SEND Callum 🏳️‍🌈 🔴⚪⚫ 🔰 (@Callum_SEND) reported 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

  • EJJFoster Ed Foster (@EJJFoster) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia hi is there an issue in wakefield with the broadband? It has been off all afternoon. Constantly on the blink!!

  • pidgpie Chris,,,, (@pidgpie) reported from Rotherham, England

    Here we go its worked for a week virginmedia internet down rebooted worked for 2 mins down again ill check my status later usually goes off then comes back on and works again S65 area

  • AndyM50760310 Andy M (@AndyM50760310) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @virginmedia That is really poor. It should be for Virgin to sort not the public. I spent an hour on the phone on Thursday speaking to a next to useless overseas call centre.

  • John_murphy1 John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia I’ve had that email. I’ve also had another email this morning saying they’re sorry to hear I’m unhappy with my broadband speed. I’m not! I’m unhappy with a call out charge being applied, which was promised to be reversed and never has been!

  • gjold Gary Oldacre (@gjold) reported

    @virginmedia Having issues with my Tivo box. It keeps turning itself off saying check cables (which are fine) any more advice on diagnostics? Cheers 👍

  • hashverda Sahb (@hashverda) reported

    @virginmedia It boggles the mind how your customer support can get worse, especially with something as simple as a home move but congrats I guess. I've been hung up on twice already, with hour queues in between.

  • Hendy14 Scott Henderson (@Hendy14) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Is there a problem with your phone system? My Mum has been trying to call for 24 hours on numerous occasions to change package but gets cut off every single time. Your mentions suggest this is happening to lots of others too. Can somebody arrange a callback please?

  • KojisRevenge koji (@KojisRevenge) reported

    Hey @virginmedia pls come fix my internet rn because u made me sad

  • DeanJA91 Dean  (@DeanJA91) reported

    @virginmedia So why not fix your website clearly there's a problem with that

  • GemRedford_FMN Gemma Redford (@GemRedford_FMN) reported

    @Rachel_FMN @virginmedia We sacked them off. Hours and hours on the phone every time there was an issue. Trying to cancel even worse. Even when we returned the equipment they didn’t turn up for it then said they were going to fine us!! Jokes. Plus I’m over £1000 a year better off now too! Xx

  • thisis_PW ThisisPW (@thisis_PW) reported

    @virginmedia contacted today as we have a Wi-Fi issue where it needs a Wi-Fi booster. Apparently you want to charge us £5 a month extra to supply one Wi-Fi booster. Why doesn’t the system work properly anyway? I am paying for #broadband but cannot get it across our home.

  • DisreeShaw Disree Shaw (@DisreeShaw) reported

    @virginmedia I just want access to the internet please the service is so bad no amount of o2 tickets can help

  • AniAur Becca (@AniAur) reported

    @virginmedia nearly 20 mins on hold to ask about a package change? If I select the new business option I’m sure you’d be quicker answering. Don’t want txt talk, want to speak to a human. Help!

  • rjcurtis Jeremy Curtis (@rjcurtis) reported

    @chailey_ @virginmedia I have to call them too, as bill going up by 47% this month. Or I could upgrade our bundle for only a 54% increase. Is there sweepstake running for wait times, plus the bonus of getting through to someone who can *actually* help?
