  🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported 1 second ago from Wigan, England

  @Virgin @virginmedia I've had no Internet now for 14 days and my bill is due in 2 days. This is disgusting service, your call centre staff are useless, your engineers are useless, this is appalling for £52 a month. Sort the problem out now.

  @richardbranson you really need to sort out your company @virginmedia they a robbing gets. That company is bad in all areas. Some advice for people trying to cancel record everything for proof as they say they have cancelled it then send you loads of bills 😡

  Christopher Fox (@ChrisFoxRacing) reported 5 minutes ago from Bolton, England

  @virginmedia Already reported the broadband issues, and it's an issue where estimated fix times keep getting pushed back. With regards to mobile issues, this has been around the same length of time. The only way I've been able to get any connection at all is by switching to 3G

  @virginmedia The issue is I also believe it's my equipment as well. The down time I have you don't seam to log it all. I dont want a router upgrade or anything like that I just want a working router. Everytime I call there is a fault in the area.

  CryptoDan2k (@CryptoDan2k) reported 18 minutes ago from Roby, England

  @virginmedia Yes, like previously said this is minimum of once, sometimes.twice weekly then I have to phone yous to split the signal again.

• 
  Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported 19 minutes ago from Atherton, England

  @virginmedia Could the problems in the area have caused damage to the equipment? As it was working fine before. Do I get compensation for all this time as the earliest appointment is Friday 14th?

  @virginmedia / Super disappointed after calling to renew my contract and as an existing customer you can’t offer anything half as good as a new customer. Shocking customer retention strategy 🤯

• 
  Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported 28 minutes ago from St Helens, England

  @virginmedia are an absolute joke. Was told to call back at half 6 and guess what? They’re shut! And again, no engineer visit. Getting cancelled 1st thing in the morning. Over a month of total loss of service, piss take. #avoid

• 
  Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported 34 minutes ago from St Helens, England

  @virginmedia No, they just left. Rang your customer service they are now telling me the problem is internal. I’ve had no internet since July, no tv since August. It’s beyond a joke now. 5 visits I’ve had.

• 
  CryptoDan2k (@CryptoDan2k) reported 39 minutes ago from Roby, England

  @Huawei21327032 @virginmedia They tried to charge 30quid a month for piss which isn't the issue it's a mix of virgin media kit and also the line. Spent 2 gars studying CISCO networking CCNA and they think I don't know what I'm talking about

  🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported 41 minutes ago from Wigan, England

  @virginmedia my interest been down for a whole week. Call centre staff don't know what to say. An engineer has been on site every single day apparently. Can someone fix my internet. I pay £52 a month this is beyond a joke. I've used all my 4g& bought a ****** dongle just to WFH

• 
  Alan Dean (@alandean1878) reported 42 minutes ago from Roby, England

  @virginmedia Everything struggles to stay connected to the Internet. Mobiles, laptops, the TV's. I'm not sure if the speed is an issue as I haven't checked it. (I'm not sure how to.)

• 
  ⚒ Sam ⚒ Warrington Hammer ⚒ (@_samhowell) reported 43 minutes ago from Warrington, England

  Also @virginmedia need to remind their call centre staff that customers are not idiots; the guy I was talking to had no idea why the link wasnt working so asdvised me to "Try again after 5, if its still not working call back" wonder if he managed clock out bang on 5?

• 
  Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported 44 minutes ago from St Helens, England

  @virginmedia can someone help me please? I’m about to lose my ****. Never ever known anything like this company. Now telling me lies on WhatsApp. Saying i logged an issue weeks after engineers had already been out to find the fault. Refusing compensation after 4 mths no service.

  Elisabeth Hilton (@elisabethhilto4) reported 46 minutes ago from Lowton, England

  Graeme Radebe (@Radebreast) reported 55 minutes ago from Ormskirk, England

  @virginmedia Hi - Ive noticed alot of people are having the same issues. Its the Sky TV Go app on Playstation 4. Ive checked it on another internet and it works fine so it is definitely an error on your side. You need to sort the internet settings. It struggles to load “on Now” on the app.

  Saint of Portsmouth (@PortsmouthSaint) reported 7 minutes ago

  @virginmedia thanks for my internet not working at all after moving house. No England match for me tonight. Cancelling my contract and will fight you all the way if you try and charge me

• 
  Howard Borrington (@Howard1963OT) reported 7 minutes ago

  @JasonAlderwick @richardbranson Confusing though it is Jason, Richard Branson has never owned Virgin Media. He held a minority stake of roughly 10% and licensed the Virgin brand name to the business until the company was bought out by Liberty Global in 2013.

  Stato (@mattflack90) reported 8 minutes ago

  @Stsantek @virginmedia contract was up for renewal, new company offered me better terms, told Virgin im leaving, followed the rules on cancelling at end of contract. then got billed again, virgin said id signed up to a new 24mnth deal, couldnt provide evidence, had to go to the ombudsman to cancel it,

  @MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK If you expect poor service from Virgin Media you will not be disappointed.

  Reeni 🇯🇲 (@__neerihs) reported 11 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I have checked. There were outages and it’s now apparently fixed. Yet I still have no service. So I can’t watch tv, can’t use my tablet, my daughter can’t use her tablet and I can’t work next week. What fabulous service!

  Matthew Lock (@nubnutts) reported 13 minutes ago

  @Stsantek @virginmedia damn i feel bad for you, i mean i pay £40 for gigabit on VM

• 
  estevén (@superpaddiepads) reported 17 minutes ago

  @LessGrumpy @virginmedia Exactly that. The quality of the broadband has never been an issue but the customer service is almost non existent. But when you base that offshore it does tend to be the case. Very polite but utterly useless.

• 
  Claire Fox (@foxclaire1973) reported 22 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I have sent a few private messages. None of you have responded and I must be talking to a wall when I say that someone has USED my address to set up a account with you. I am a sky customer and Plusnet customer

• 
  Pazuzu (@Craig_Higgins) reported 24 minutes ago

  Hey @virginmedia we've recently just renegotiated our internet with yourselves after the price became completely unaffordable but based on the news Ofcom has found you guilty of deliberately mishandling customer calls, was this an unwise move?
