    @virginmedia is there a problem impacting broadband in wd17? Services dropped suddenly at around 1:30-1:45pm today.

    @virginmedia Why should we call up again for the ninth time? We’re a ‘priority customer.’ You should be calling us and making amends.I’m a consumer tech journalist with 25 years’ experience. Your customer service is the worst I’ve ever encountered. You simply don’t care about your customers.

    Yessi Bello-Perez (@yessibelloperez) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia Thanks, John. No they didn’t confirm. All they said was that the issue *might* be fixed by August 2nd, which as you can imagine is far from ideal. Meanwhile, I’m also being charged a full month despite not having a reliable connection for over a week.

    @virginmedia sort out the wifi in AL4. Been down two days now joke of a provider

    @Gusubeda @virginmedia My broadband is also down HA7 0800 status number keep telling me there's no problem in the area

    Virgin media down all over it seems… need #Internet what’s wrong with you @virginmedia

  • david_renty
    David Renton (@david_renty) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia I'd just like to cancel! Nothing personal! But stumbling blocks are being put up and it is tiresome.

  • angelstorm13
    Ella A Cutler (@angelstorm13) reported from Hatfield, England

    Virgin WiFi is up and down all the time, but now it's really down and not working. Can't even turn on my Alexa smart lights so stuck in the dark and soon landlines will be WiFi so that won't work either. @virginmedia #noservice

  • Rebeccadundon1
    Rebecca Dundon (@Rebeccadundon1) reported from St Albans, England

    Hey @virginmedia I've been on hold for 20 minutes and I'm losing the will to live. Need help with WiFi password

  • angelstorm13
    Ella A Cutler (@angelstorm13) reported from Welwyn Hatfield, England

    And it's down again. #virginmedia

  • Gosbo68
    Grant Osborn (@Gosbo68) reported from Northaw and Cuffley, England

    @Bazza_68 @virginmedia Up. Then down again. That’s the 4th time today.

  • PaulswainDJ
    Paul Swain (@PaulswainDJ) reported from Kings Langley, England

    @virginmedia An ongoing account issue. All I’m trying to do is sort it out. Your staff accepted my call today and then hung up after 17 minutes of hold time.

  • Johnboy82903002
    John carroll (@Johnboy82903002) reported from Brentford, England

    @virginmedia Good morning, This is the 3rd day with no broadband. You have conflicting messages as to whether there is an issue or not, and whether it has been fixed or not. I have been unable to speak to anyone or log a call out. Can someone please help

  • PcPresenter
    PCPresenter (@PcPresenter) reported from Hemel Hempstead, England

    @virginmedia Any chance you can DM me about an issue? Trying to find an avenue to contact you through the website is shockingly ****. What's the point of having an option to contact when it's impossible to find it??

  • stephen_j_moran
    Stephen Moran (@stephen_j_moran) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    And another day has gone by with no landline service from #virginmedia in this part of Harrow HA1 and still the same recorded message saying they've found the problem and are working on it. @virginmedia

  • crimimel
    Mel B (@crimimel) reported from Welwyn Garden City, England

    @virginmedia Hope we’re getting a refund for lack of service as daughter is trying to write her 10,000 word dissertation but very difficult to do without internet. Should not advertise deals to new customers if you don’t bother sorting out the network issues. Cancelling

  • morish1
    maureen robert (@morish1) reported from Hillingdon, England

    @virginmedia This is false advertising. My broadband goes off more than it’s on and then it is so slow. I have lost count on the times I have called the help line. I have rebooted routinely, it works for a while then off again. I have had enough now as enough is enough!!!

  • seanhannam
    seanhannam (@seanhannam) reported from Chesham Bois, England

    @MikeCoxCowes @virginmedia @HP What hope is there for the smart home when even a wireless printer needs reconfiguring after a simple wi-fi network change?

  • LauraVCook1980
    Laura Cook (@LauraVCook1980) reported from Hatfield, England

    @virginmedia disappointed after 10 years of being a loyal customer that I can’t pause my monthly payments for 11 weeks while I’m not at home and no one using the broadband or TV!

  • StephenCavinder
    Steve Cavinder (@StephenCavinder) reported from Bricket Wood, England

    @virginmedia do you think it’s acceptable for a customer to be waiting for more than 20 minutes (and still waiting) for one of your agents to answer the phone? #justasking

    @Hajontop @AgmOli_ @virginmedia had to cancel scrim cos my wifi decided to die

  • philbreadin
    Phil (@philbreadin) reported

    @virginmedia how come my bill has jumped from £55 to £72 mid contract? I understand it's April and a small price increase is expected but £17 is taking the mick. With the issues I've had lately @skytv is looking more tempting.

  • RupertLeyland
    Rupert Leyland (@RupertLeyland) reported

    @virginmedia - I’ve been without internet for over a week now. I’m on your priority list as I have a disabled child here - and have been with you since you were NTL Telewest (1996 - 30 years). Makes no difference. Every attempt to fix my problem is unsuccessful. I’m in despair.

    Has Virgin Media gone down?

  • Mrfutherfukery
    Mrmutherfukery (@Mrfutherfukery) reported

    @virginmedia Hello, My router doesn't seem to working properly I have all the regular things recommended but the wifi is still slow. The router is quite old can I get better one please?

  • HenleyDB
    Henley (@HenleyDB) reported

    @GreyBlackstone @virginmedia They're charging me over £105 for only broadband. They're a bunch of greedy jokers. I had an issue and called them, they made things worse. I'm stuck not renewing my contract. If they mess up again, I end up paying even more but on a new contract or accidentally disconnected.

  • pyrcroft
    Pablo (@pyrcroft) reported

    @virginmedia @Ofcom, why doesn't ofcom do anything about the extremely bad service at Virgin Media?, several phone calls, at least 10hours, messages on here, and STILL they are unable to resolve access to my account!!!!!!!!

  • CraigA3
    Craig Aldridge (@CraigA3) reported

    Beware of @virginmedia they lie and change your bill without warning. Then multiple assistants will lie & says it's fixed but they will still charge you. If you call you'll be on hold for 30 mins tell them all the right security answers but they will say they are wrong & not help

  • AslamDhanyaal
    Dhanyaal Aslam (@AslamDhanyaal) reported

    @virginmedia your internet is a pile of ****. how is your internet always going down at this time and when i try to look at the app to see if its down,I NEED TO CONNECT TO INTERNET TO LOOK AT THE APP!

    @virginmedia where are the activation emails for HBO for customers whom pay for the service? Should I seek compensation?
