    @virginmedia 8am Friday it will be fixed by 4pm , 4pm it will be fixed by 8pm , 8pm it should be fixed by 10am Saturday, I doubt it will be fixed by 10am and I bet I won’t get a refund for the loss of service.

    The internet is so shockingly shit at mum’s house. Can’t even watch Netflix without it buffering every 2 minutes. Please sort it out @virginmedia!

  • coachdancad
    Dan Cad (@coachdancad) reported from Liverpool, England

    As usual my @virginmedia broadband service is farcical - supposedly got the fastest broadband available in the country and despite prices going up regularly, can’t so much as stream a film on @NetflixUK without over a dozen network dropouts & crashes.

    @virginmedia Not been given anything. I called Friday regarding my bill. Left my contact details and was told within 48 hours I would get a call back. I was hoping to not have to escalate to a complaint and for it to be dealt with via the manager who was going to call me.....WITHIN 48 HOURS!

    Rick Houghton (@Hortini) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia morning I rang up at 8am this morning and was informed that you are super busy, who knew so many people wanted to leave VM, anyway 20 minutes in and I have spoken with someone and am now being transferred to someone else, all I want to do is cancel my contract

    Mr Comic Book (@comicbookguy_UK) reported

    @ScottishSun why havent you mentioned the constant @virginmedia outages EVERY night at midnight this week? Subscribers up & down the nation losing all internet including the VM website going down yet Virgin refuse to acknowledge it! We're fed up with this!!

    Dr Vicky Enne 🇪🇺 (@Beat_AMR_Bugs) reported

    @virginmedia last month I suddenly lost access to Netflix and despite many calls to customer services no one was able to restore it. I eventually cancelled and was promised a refund for the month of May on my next bill. However I have t received it. Can you please help ?

    Jon Godwin (@Godwin9Jon) reported

    @virginmedia It asks me to pay for it. I have spoken to your staff dozens of times and VM don’t have the competence to sort it out. Look at the VM forum, there are LOTS of people with the same issue. Useless, why am I paying for something you are unable to provide?

    @virginmedia we’re very displeased with your Internet speed. Up and down like a yoyo. CityFibre next stop

  • appccessible
    Kevin (@appccessible) reported

    @virginmedia Already done. It doesn't fix it. So on the previous question. Are you using @Oracle because @VodafoneUK do and they know all about this issue when customers leave and then return a few years later using the same email address.

  • OldSkoolSandhu
    Harj Sandhu (@OldSkoolSandhu) reported

    @virginmedia Hi there however your customer services agents and the reply confirms what I have said, this has been a joke for now 6 months. Can you escalate our complaint to the deadlock team. I will raise this to ofcom you have clearly broke the sales of good act and not attempted any offers

    But can you call @virginmedia and help them out? Na! Rang 3 times to advise blockage cleared. Pre install team seem to have no path to construction team. Now street works is showing the road to be dug up next week even though it’s not needed. Delaying my install. #shambles
