    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

  • 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 !!!!

  • pearson_alison Alison Pearson (@pearson_alison) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia why is the red button not working I've paid for this service

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

    @virginmedia Do you have a business outage in S8? Can't get through to anyone. Wondering whether to send everyone home?

  • 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

  • olibrown77 Oli B (@olibrown77) reported 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 🙄😡

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia why am h getting the message that my cable is broken

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

    @virginmedia No problem, and thank you for sorting it out quickly. May be worth making sure telephone staff tell customers about call out charges as I had no idea they applied in this situation.

  • rwgladwin Richard Gladwin (@rwgladwin) reported from Sheffield, England

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

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

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

  • 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!

  • wilcock_steve 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿steve wilcock 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@wilcock_steve) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia is the email down again??

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

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia VM sent me a lovely email notifying me that "Your complaint has now been closed. We hope you are satisfied with the outcome". Hell no!

  • didithitthespot Altered Beast (@didithitthespot) reported

    Can someone explain to @virginmedia all well and good advertising ‘super fast broadband’ which is often intermittent and not working - is the same use as having a Ferrari with 3 second 0-60mph but the engine is siezed. @Ofcom

  • EgyChris Christian🇪🇬 (@EgyChris) reported

    @virginmedia hi VM, I need to get in contact with customer services and they are not responding, need to cancel my contract asap. Please reply

  • michael_hogburn 👽Michael Hogburn 💾 (@michael_hogburn) reported

    Looks like @virginmedia is down again today. Familiar story. This should make #homeschooling2021 and #workingfromhome fun. #virginmediadown 😐

  • JennaSimmons14 Jenna Simmons (@JennaSimmons14) reported

    @virginmedia any chance of speaking to an actually person in customer services? Internet has been awful for months and can’t speak to anyone “you then supposedly upgraded to Eve faster broadband” and it’s now worse than before 🤯

  • jaydrive2000 Jon (@jaydrive2000) reported

    This not acceptable @virginmedia , still no service @ 07:07 on Mar 3rd.

  • NickHeathcote2 Nick Heathcote (@NickHeathcote2) reported
