  • SourEnvy Elliot ⚽️🏈🎮 (@SourEnvy) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia Afternoon, I have an iPad with a Virgin SIM card that I no longer use. Obviously still need to pay off the monthly device fee but am I able to cancel the SIM plan?

  • BooCavapoo BooCavapoo 🐶 (@BooCavapoo) reported from Penwortham, England

    @virginmedia No, that's not possible as the yoga device does not have wired port. The WiFi just needs sorting out. Its been terrible for weeks @virginmedia

  • geordiegal97 Amy 🌼 (@geordiegal97) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia broadband is down. WiFi light is solid green whilst the bar is flashing green. Help!

  • LIVEINBLACKPOOL Peter Ian Mowbray RODP💙 (@LIVEINBLACKPOOL) reported from Blackpool, England

    @AntStephen @VirginMediaCorp @virginmedia Thank you 🙏 but I am stuffed hoping they fix it soon

  • Tiiredbunny Bunny 💙 (@Tiiredbunny) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia I will leave it open but nothing popped up earlier should I sign in?

  • TheRealRagtag Stephen Murtagh (@TheRealRagtag) reported from Penwortham, England

    Not very often I say good things about @virginmedia but todays service was excellent. Peter sorted out Wi-fi problem, wavered the set up fee, and arranged a new hub after lots of line tests. Thank you. (But will have no service for 6 days in all.🙄 Refund?)

  • BooCavapoo BooCavapoo 🐶 (@BooCavapoo) reported from Penwortham, England

    @virginmedia please sort out the issues with the WiFi, Internet, broadband or whatever the term us these days. It is constantly slow or not working. Having to use mobile data is not an effective substitute for the service I am paying for.

  • franners82 frances whitehead (@franners82) reported from Garstang, England

    @virginmedia can you help me verify my account - not receiving any emails…

  • docherty53 Andy 'life is short' Docherty (@docherty53) reported from South Shore, England

    Morning @virginmedia I know it's not your fault but communication is impossible so I have turned to Twitter for help. Have you any idea when @YodelOnline will get their act together as we have been wasting days off waiting for important packages from you?

  • mgsevs sevs66 (@mgsevs) reported from Kirkham, England

    @virginmedia @1862_TwoPies Cut and paste Cut and paste Cut and paste That is NOT customer service even if you fake it to be

  • BeakerRick Rick Leeming - Beaker (@BeakerRick) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia Yes and yes. I even wiped it totally a week or so ago. My wife as an iPhoneSE and is experiencing the same problem.

  • Madhornet73 Lee Thomas (@Madhornet73) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia Why is the red button not working on SkySports

  • sean_wilson87 Sean Wilson (@sean_wilson87) reported from South Shore, England

    Once again @virginmedia internet down as soon as we get rain in our area. I need to keep a tally chart with how many times this has happened. Complete and utter shambles

  • sean_wilson87 Sean Wilson (@sean_wilson87) reported from South Shore, England

    Once again @virginmedia your internet connection drops as soon as we get bad weather. Lost count of the amount of times this has happened, and with the amount of money I pay you nothing happens to stop this happening again. Shocking service. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

  • ms_sasmassey sarah (@ms_sasmassey) reported from Preston, England

    Hi @virginmedia I've been having TV issues for a few days today is really bad missing channels - error code W02, and intermittent pictures on others

  • Madhornet73 Lee Thomas (@Madhornet73) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia The red button is not working again for the football

  • LIVEINBLACKPOOL Peter Ian Mowbray RODP💙 (@LIVEINBLACKPOOL) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia It’s been a tricky few days as I have been trying to run my media company. I phoned Virgin Media business both times was told it’s an outage. It seems to be working better than ever now, but hoping no more disruptions. Thank you for making contact with me

  • aptyson1960 Alan Tyson (@aptyson1960) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia I did and they couldn’t do anything. I’m very disappointed that not even going just broadband could reduce anywhere near new customers. My car insurance has to match new customer deals. You should do the same.

  • aptyson1960 Alan Tyson (@aptyson1960) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia very disappointed that being a customer for nearly 25 years doesn’t warrant any discount but being a new one did. Bye bye I’m off to @bt_uk

  • Adzcantsing Adz can't sing (@Adzcantsing) reported from Penwortham, England

    @virginmedia useless we are trying to cancel and for past 2 weeks now since we have moved home. We have been pushed from pillar to post, been laughed at by customer service. Since we moved we have we've been promised someone will come and sort it.

  • angiloveshippos Angi Lunn (@angiloveshippos) reported

    @virginmedia No, just 2 to 3 weeks :-( We have no confirmation that the external engineer has even been requested so it could be forever! This really isn’t great customer service! We could literally watch these channels on free view, if I had an Ariel 😞

  • IamJen_na JenJen (@IamJen_na) reported

    @virginmedia once again having issues with the on demand again I've rebooted the box at least twice this week and its still not working, close to throwing it out the window not sure what to do

  • ruthcoman Ruth Coman (@ruthcoman) reported

    @virginmedia Nothing has been mentioned and there is nothing I can think of or know about. Customer services spoke of draw through but I don’t know what that means

  • BaldwinLeigh Mr B (@BaldwinLeigh) reported

    @virginmedia broadband customer. Disgraceful customer service, disconnected multiple times on the phone and told I couldn’t add your ultimate oomph bundle at the new customer price of £79, told to pay £20 more a month for my loyalty. Should be ashamed #watchdog #RogueCompany

  • MrsAA55 MrsAA (@MrsAA55) reported

    As my past experiences with .@O2 have not all been good and my past experiences with .@virginmedia have been awful...I guess I’ll be changing mobile suppliers now they have merged 😩

  • DanielleFaye91 Danielle... (@DanielleFaye91) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. I work from home and my internet disconnects numerous times a day. When I check the service there are no network errors, no disrupted service and everything is stated as working online. Modern is fine. Please can someone DM me. Speed test not correct either.

  • alexwhit3head_ ALEX (@alexwhit3head_) reported

    what a awful ******* day virgin media ****** with my life EE hotspot was a joke hit deadlines tho! pass me the alcohol

  • ruthcoman Ruth Coman (@ruthcoman) reported

    @virginmedia No - no outages just problems with my cable outside my house

  • AspieDeLaZouch Barney Angliss 💙 (@AspieDeLaZouch) reported

    @virginmedia They will. And they'll send them to the wrong address. So please refer me to someone at Virgin who knows how to fix this because they don't.

  • BaldwinLeigh Mr B (@BaldwinLeigh) reported

    @virginmedia Nothing wrong with the broadband but your existing customer offers are almost as appalling as your customer service department
