  @virginmedia Internet is down in our area since Monday. I keep getting multiple emails saying it'll be fixed by 12pm tomorrow, then 4pm Wednesday 12pm Thursday, 12pm Friday and now 4pm Friday. None of your call centre staff can help us we've spent hours on hold this week.

  @virginmedia Thanks. Very frustrating and time consuming. Spent whole afternoon trying to sort it. Twitter not really the best way to resolve issues especially with an 82 year old.

  @virginmedia 3 times in 3 weeks we are without internet! We are paying for a service we are not able to use! Are we going to be compensated for this?

  @virginmedia I have a booster. It was sent to me last Spring because of previous problems with TV in this room.

  @Virgin @virginmedia #virginmediadown #VirginMedia Imagine paying £52 a month for Internet to be down for 5 days. We work from home. I've used all my 4g, had to buy more to do my job yet when you call up they say it'll be fixed by.. and keeps being postponeded. Fix it Virgin.

  owen southworth (@obpls1995) reported 30 minutes ago from Wigan, England

  @virginmedia can you explain why the moment I told your staff over the phone that I was disabled they decided to speak to me as if I was an idiot and then tell me they can't help me because I can't spell out my password despite telling them 5 times what the password was.

  @virginmedia All internet is down, wireless and wired; the hub light is white and it’s a Hub 3.0.

  @virginmedia had a link to change my password and every combination I’m trying says strength invalid. Help.

  Anne McCormack (@1AnneMcCormack) reported 40 minutes ago from Billinge Chapel End, England

  @virginmedia I tell them to ring 999 or 0151 709 6010 if they want to report a crime. They hang up but they sound South Asian and their English is poor. I worry about other oaps being conned. Good luck chasing them.

  @virginmedia I seem to be the first one to report them, still saying intermittent problems in my area. Can't get to speak to anyone on phone, I rely on the Internet.

  I have virgin media but they don’t have a Customer service that you can speak to. Or email I’ve had a problem for over a month since an engineer messed about in the box in the street. Picture on tv keeps pixilated.

Virgin Media Issues Reports

  Serenity Solo Studios (@SerenitySoloDev) reported 4 minutes ago

  Virgin Media may have the best broadband speeds for me, but lying salesmen and Virgins policies really has me thinking about cancelling during this cooldown period. I was told 1000mbps was the maximum speed here. I found out it was 2000mbps. I tried to change as I was unaware of this at the time, due to what the saleman told me, but they wanted to charge me £88 per month or so for the 2gb package when the 1gb only costs £33 per month. Even though the website says £55 per month for the 2gb package. I then asked about the upload spped matching the download speed. At first, I was told this was a different package, not an addon, so it would cost £88 per month in total. What? I then threatened to leave and rejoin with a new package as I was in the cooling off period. I was then told this was an addon for £6 per month. They can't change anything on my package though apparently. It now has to be sent to another team to check through this and I have to wait 5-10 days. This is the most confusing company I have ever dealt with. When joining Sky, I could change my package at any time and still be given the in contract discount. Sky may have slower speeds, but @Virgin have to have to the worst policies that kind of makes me regret changing over. If they say I still have to pay almost triple the cost, I may just take the loss of the broadband speed and move back over to Sky. Virgin are trying to rip me off as their sales representative who came to the door and sold me the package never gave the full information to me and said 1gb was their highest package they had for my area.

  keith addy (@ads913) reported 4 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I understand they're introductory, but the gap is £51/month for the identical package. That's not a normal "new customer discount" that's a loyalty penalty. What can you actually offer me?

  Kate (@oftenFrazzled) reported 5 minutes ago

  @O2 signed up 2yr sim only Fri 12/06. received msg "my new number active" but I put in a pac code to keep my old number AND the new SIM hasn't arrived yet. Also I keep getting booted out the login page now of my virgin media account. Not impressed at all. Considering cancelling

  @y_alibhai @virginmedia The arrogance. You don’t get preferential treatment Yasmine due to your ‘awards’. Btw If you agree with SM ban for kids meaning we will all have to sign in to access SM then get used to this.

  A.Brown (@_DundeePerfect_) reported 7 minutes ago

  @paulveness1974 @virginmedia I think that many peoples problems stem from using wifi, everything I have connected to the Internet, TVs and PC are hard wired, i never have a problem. I remember I used the Smart TV features once, never used it since, I press somethings it's instant not sat waiting to load.

  @virginmedia why is my service down, Liverpool L4. Quick enough to take my money and yet every other day your service is unreliable. Don’t think I will be renewing with you after this.

  Nick Poole (@nrpoole) reported 16 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I can't log into my a/c. I know my email address but, when entered, I reach a page saying that there has been a 'quick pause to keep my account safe' followed by some unhelpful suggestions and a reference: IDF-12B. The help & bot are useless. Can you help, please?

  Jan T. (@demented_tj) reported 23 minutes ago

  @virginmedia @icanlevitateoff your page said ' there's an issue, you can can schedule an appointment in 24 hrs' next morning, issue gone, no problem right?? Happens far too often, but thankfully they're installing fiber on my street.
