  @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 No as you person on 150 said you do not have a customer service that I could talk too. Your engineer said it was a fault at the box in street so I don’t know when it is fixed. But it’s not improve in the last month

  @virginmedia Are you wanting me to comment in the broadband section? Can you explain the benefits of this as you won't send an engineer out if there is an issue constantly in the area and your tech team are already aware of it, plus I have the ofcom complaint aswell?

  @virginmedia Hi thankyou4 replying. You offered me the piss a while back for free then tried to charge approx 25 quid a month for them.The issue is half your line and half the equipment. You can never send an engineer out as everytime I phone there is an issue in the area.Another outage today

  @virginmedia Both wired and wireless. We've had 8 engineers out, a rewire, new hub and still endless drop outs. Was told finally it was an upload issue from the amp that supplied the box on the street. But still we're having issues. The 150 number is joke, make it simple!!!

  @virginmedia Nobody can help me, they just keep asking for patience. They’ve had since august to fix it. It’s unacceptable.

• 
  CryptoDan2k (@CryptoDan2k) reported 23 minutes ago from Roby, England

  @virginmedia No, not really as you have reliability issues in my home which I believe is part the router and part the virgin line coming into my home.

  @virginmedia Can you check that I will be receiving a credit on my next bill as it has been down since Friday afternoon and I don’t think it will be fixed by 12pm today, I think that time will get changed again.

  CryptoDan2k (@CryptoDan2k) reported 50 minutes ago from Roby, England

  @virginmedia Yes, as discussed many a time. Without fail occasion I phone there is a fault in my area and you will not send out a technician. This circle can not seam to be broken. This is why you have failed to get an engineer out to me for months and months.

•

  @virginmedia E mails crashed out 2 days ago. OH rang & eventually spoke to a human. Apparently it’s a widespread problem. We need the emails. This is shoddy service. When is it going to be fixed. Not good enough

  @virginmedia Our broadband has recently started to fail on a daily basis. It has been fairly reliable until a couple of weeks ago. Yes, it comes back after a while, but this really isn't good enough in 2026, especially bearing in mind how much it costs. What's happening?

• 
  ABDUL (@MrMufc77) reported 5 minutes ago

  @virginmedia yes there has been a outage for over a week now they fix the problem then it goes off again after a few hours 😡

  @virginmedia Huh, bet that's why we've had rubbish service lately, local toddlers walking past pulling em. It's a monstrosity!

  @MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK As I have said here before, Virgin Media treat customers with total contempt. The worst type of British capitalism. Branson must be so ashamed.

  @virginmedia 2nd time in a month there has been a disruption in broadband. Poor

  Si Smith (@sjslfcforever) reported 15 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I’ve now been booted off the phone as your automated service is not very good and your live chat has kicked me off twice in the last half hour, I’m glad your saving money getting a bot to handle calls but maybe a human being would be better, could someone contact me.

  Can you really afford such bad PR for your crass behaviour @virginmedia ? I think not. Wake up and put it right please.
