Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported from Birmingham, EnglandOnce again the Internet Orovider that claims to be the best @virginmedia, has an outage. I bet all my savings there would be significant kick back if the directors didn’t get paid, because the Lady dealing with their account cannot get online. Time has come for change #cancelVM

Casey Rain (aka S-Endz) (@CaseyRain) reported from Birmingham, EnglandCausing me to drop out of a work meeting once every 10 minutes. Oh, and Virgin tried to blame it on my hardware? Except... My neighbour is seeing the EXACT same thing. This wasn't happening before the outage. @virginmedia why am I paying you lots of money for a spotty connection?
-

Dani Grim (@RefinedSavage) reported from Dudley, EnglandSeems like @virginmedia is completely down in our area, I can't even access their support site to log a problem. Also it appears that @O2 is having some sort of issue, my mobile data connection is so slow that royal mail could be a viable messaging alternative.

-
Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported from Dudley, England@virginmedia I understand that your systems were down last night, which happens, but I’ve been on hold for 30 mins this morning. We have a text to say it’s resolved but it isn’t. I just need to speak to someone please.
-
𝚋𝚎𝚝𝚑 (@beffycuk) reported from Dudley, England@virginmedia Yes, and every-time it says no issue, when there clearly is! It interferes with everything, the hive, the tv everything! Really considering going elsewhere.

Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported from Dudley, England@virginmedia afternoon. I’ve been on hold for 25 mins and when I finally got through the line went dead after security questions. My mum has been without her TV service for over a week. Last night an engineer was due by 6 o’clock and never showed. Another text stating the 26th
-
Casey Rain (aka S-Endz) (@CaseyRain) reported from Birmingham, EnglandHad an @virginmedia broadband outage on Sunday for 2 hours. Since then, connection so spotty that I'm getting 10 seconds of completely dropped packets followed by 20 seconds of slow-as-molasses ping times once every 10 minutes.

MrProcter (@MrProcter) reported@virginmedia Thank you. And maybe consider disabling it for World Cups, Christmas Day etc? No-one wants their telly to shut down because they've been watching it. I know you understand this. Thanks.
-
Garry (@gwfvrowell) reportedNo Wifi or TV for four days now, Customer service promised a call back and not a peep, expect better @virginmedia
-
Ishamael (@TheZacMan2050) reported@DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt Same problem every mate. ******* stupid. Take India, get way better value so why ******** we pay stupid amounts
-
Jessica Simpson 😺🐶🐾 (@Jess_Simpson645) reported@virginmedia thank you for offering help via a DM, but you have sent me quite a lot of the exact same messages now - only one was needed. I have already told you that one of your engineers is coming out tomorrow to check everything is okay and get everything working properly. At this point I will only need to contact you if the engineers visit isn’t successful.

Alan Roberts (@AlanRob68902430) reported@virginmedia Anyone reading this I'm now being threatened with charges for not returning there router, anyone else get conned into an @O2 contract sim by virgin media fancy starting a class action via the ombudsman @O2 I've never made a single call or text yet you have debited my bank for the last 2 years
-
BlueTickBob❌ (@mcrobgi) reported@virginmedia thanks for wasting more of my time. You don’t answer the phones, your chat bot repeats itself, you promise to call me at an agreed time & don’t bother ringing me !! Great customer service!!
-
R.L. MacMurray 🇬🇧 (@DeviateDefiant) reported@DeviousPL @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt Yeah their C/S is absolutely atrocious, I'm basically 'grandfathered' into VM from when their network was the only way to get more than about 8mbit down. These days the DOCSIS/coax setup is vastly inferior to any OpenReach FTTP, with fibre directly to the socket.
-
NUFCR (@NUFCR2) reported@DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt They did this to me last year so I just phoned up and said exactly what you’ve said here, why should my price go up when new customer prices are going down. Woman on the phone matched the promo rate 👍🏻

Patrick Watson (@pwatsonmontrose) reported@virginmedia I am a customer. Please stop sending me messages on Twitter to other customers of yours .. {mainly to customers wanting to leave Virgin!)
