  Chris,,,, (@pidgpie) reported 2 minutes ago from Rotherham, England

  Virginmedia on form again check my status no tv no Internet gets worse everytime it's down

• 
  Helen-Claire Stone (@Helen_Claire71) reported 4 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.

  The Churchill (@Churchill0782) reported 13 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.

  @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.

  Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported 23 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?

  Michael Collinson (@Mcollinson72) reported 29 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

  Andy Kershaw Media 🎙 (@andyksheffield) reported 33 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia @lionsgateplusuk Wish I could enjoy this but my so called 500mb service is so poor I’ve virtually been without internet for a week. Finally your team viewed it as urgent because I do work from home on Zoom and…an engineer is coming on Tuesday. When BT Reach put full fibre in my area it’s bye bye

• 
  John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported 34 minutes ago 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!

  lettiebella🦉🇬🇧 (@lettielou05) reported 39 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia first day of your internet snd massive regrets ! Can I cancel ? Cutting out constantly 😫

• 
  Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reported 41 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @virginmedia I do need assistance over why the 4G backup didn't kick in when I had an outage last week but I've raised that with you already, I hope

• 
  Andy M (@AndyM50760310) reported 42 minutes ago 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.

  @virginmedia Well I don't know if the problem has been restored at virgins end I received help and advice from an outside source who showed show me how to work around the problem with manual DNS entries. But for me, working now. Thanks.

  Debbie 💜 🦋🦉 (@DeborahTaylor3) reported 48 minutes ago 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

• 
  Alison Pearson (@pearson_alison) reported 53 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

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

• 
  lettiebella🦉🇬🇧 (@lettielou05) reported 55 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia failed install which worked for 2 hours and I cancelled within 14 days . I've now got a a bill for £62 ! Your staff just cut me off and I'm disabled and need help

• 
  Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported 58 minutes ago from Wombwell, England

  @virginmedia I’m trying to resolve an issue with your collections team regarding an incorrect default and because I no longer bank with the same account and do not have those details, they won’t talk to me, yet they are happy to just take money off me without telling me why. It’s disgusting

  Richard (@visitandtravel) reported 7 minutes ago

  @IainSankey @virginmedia These large companies Sky etc are so used to making huge amounts from the TV/broadband services - they are living on the assumption that most people will not switch. It is greed on their part, or they just do not give a damn.

• 
  Andrew Birt (@MacBirt22) reported 9 minutes ago

  @virginmedia yet again let down by your company, first day of the football season, beers in the fridge, mates around and we end up listening to the game on the radio, your ability to utterly ruin people’s weekend is on another level, am I surprised NO, a complete shambles

  oldman (@gyoldsingleman) reported 10 minutes ago

  @virginmedia How does this help when u want to watch on tv ????

• 
  Liam Bolger (@LiamBolger7) reported 12 minutes ago

  @virginmedia @CliveR39 I still think it is not a technical issue but some sort of contractual issue between Sky and Virgin. Next step will be ‘technical issue’ logging on to Sky sports as a VM customer.

  Pete (@PeteNCFC1862) reported 15 minutes ago

  @Derek959Derek @RayJones34 All the big 3 providers do it via the Good Things Foundation, apart from EE and BT who have there own arrangements for helping with data poverty. These help people on benefits so official status and a NI number is needed . Virgin Media O2 Vodaphone 3 do it via Databank .

  Stephen Maddock (@stephenm68) reported 17 minutes ago

  @1RavC @virginmedia I’ve been without broadband for 22 days but because they know it’s an outage in our area a @virginmedia engineer has been “on their way” since 27 July. Have pursued every available line of enquiry but no information as to what the ****** is the reason for it not being fixed

• 
  Carole Yeo 🌻 (@Carolestfc1) reported 18 minutes ago

  @virginmedia You've been "working on it" for days. I dont want to have to watch on a poxy little screen I want the service you get paid to provide. How much are you refunding sky sports customers for the loss of service ?

• 
  JulieH (@eirwenjulia) reported 22 minutes ago

  Cannot wait to end contract with @virginmedia 12 months of hellish service, 5 engineers, new equipment, now probs again with Sky Sports, please do not join Virgin, Ive told my friends whatever you do DONT.

  @IainSankey @virginmedia We left them years ago, nightmare. Had to explain to one of their agents what a postcode was...at that point I realised we had to part company. I have never regretted getting rid of them.
