  Pete Irving (@ZicoPete) reported 35 seconds ago from Sunderland, England

  @virginmedia No, tried 3 times on hold for 20 minutes then cut off by agents without saying a word. After checking other responses I can see this has been the issue either other customers.

  Stu (@tenchylad) reported 5 minutes ago from Sunderland, England

  @OliverStanding @virginmedia It's not a great self serve option and poor customer experience. I have an issue trying to remove a service from my current package. Cant be done digitally or remotely. Only via phone which even then very few of the advisors have the levels of authority to amend your package.

  @virginmedia It's not a problem at my end, and it's not just me affected. Have you really not noticed a flurry of people saying the same thing? I know people in different areas of the UK who have the same problems at the same times.

  @virginmedia 17 days with no TV service, finally resumed today after another manual restarts at this end. Any chance of a refund of half of this month? That's pretty dire.

  @virginmedia checked your outage tracker and says all services good on the area. Been without internet for nearly an hour. What is going on?

  @markcatchlove @virginmedia Pleased it’s not just me Mark. It really pee’s me off the contempt with which they treat their existing, loyal customers, some of whom have remained loyal since the days when they were Telewest. #newcustomersonly

  Paul Corney (@Corney77) reported 30 minutes ago from Choppington, England

  Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported 51 minutes ago from Whitley Bay, England

  Hello @BarclaysUK, phoned you for ten successive days and it’s an hour long queue, been into branch, you can’t sort the issue, tried chat via the app, you don’t talk mortgages on the app. You are beginning to reach peak Virgin Media for incompetence, I’m sorry, this is appalling.

  Maxine Tennet (@maxinetennet74) reported 54 minutes ago from Walker Gate, England

  What will it take for @virginmedia to actually sort out an account after a bereavement??? 3 months later, endless calls and empty promises. Continued anxiety and distress for an elderly woman is not the bereavement service I’d expect. Appalling.

  Paul Corney (@Corney77) reported 54 minutes ago from Choppington, England

  @virginmedia my Mam has been trying to sort her mobile out today. As she can’t remember her password or security answer, she has been unable to access her account to cancel it. Can you let me know what she can do?

  @Benleo @virginmedia I think #Vodafone takes some beating in the crap call centre department, but I feel your pain

• 
  Andrew Pittman (@AndrewPittman2) reported 6 minutes ago

  Ok @virginmedia, I’ve had enough. We’ve been without our TV for 6 days following the outage last week. We have been given several promises for dates that the issue will be fixed - hasn’t happened. I was promised an update by phone this morning - hasn’t happened. 30 year customer!

  CFC Cathy (@CFCCath) reported 18 minutes ago

  Been a customer for 20 years and intermittent signal for last 48 hours on @virginmedia and prices going up By 25%. Time for us to part our ways methinks …

• 
  Ted (@tkly57) reported 20 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I have had no TV since Thursday morning. Every year your prices go up above the rate of inflation and the is NO improvement in service. I have no reason to stay with Virgin Media.

  John Mercer (@Merse2506) reported 22 minutes ago

  @virginmedia For ovr 1 week I have not had Netflix after my transfer. As the biggest Kylie fan if I miss it I will cancel my subscription to Virgin Media

• 
  AndyC (@ACforReformUK) reported 26 minutes ago

  @Benleo @virginmedia This "quality" service is endemic in the UK these days, there's no accountability, if you got £50 for every aborted attempt, you can bet they'd get it done 1st time every time. OFCOM should punish these firms with huge fines and bring in accountability, otherwise this will just go on.
