  Casey Rain (aka S-Endz) (@CaseyRain) reported 18 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  Causing 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?

• 
  Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported 20 minutes ago from Sheldon, England

  @virginmedia I don’t think so I’m still getting distorted TV on a few channels it’s frustrating as my complaint never gets recified I’ve spent hours on end trying to get it sorted

• 
  Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported 22 minutes ago from Solihull, England

  @virginmedia hi I’ve had an ongoing complaint since September, I’ve had an email to contact yourselves but the phone number is getting me nowhere , is there another way of contacting the complaints dept?

• 
  Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported 26 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  @virginmedia Nobody has called me and the WhatsApp chat is very frustrating and not dealing with the issue. This is very simple, I was sent contract paperwork with an agreed monthly fee of £86.75. Why have I paid two months of excessively higher payments. I should have left VM

  Howard Martin 🇺🇦🇪🇺 (@HJMKent) reported 31 minutes ago from Kidderminster, England

  @virginmedia You have just repeated, word for word, the last tweet you sent me, to which I replied! Pointless trying to have any conversation with @virginmedia because it just goes round in circles! The most appalling customer services in UK in my experience! No more tweets from you, please!

• 
  Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported 35 minutes ago from Solihull, England

  @virginmedia 2/ Despite that issue being due to a junction connection in the cabinet in the street, the op seems to refuse to look at that and just wants to reboot my router. Also claims it is due to my use of Modem Mode. Is there anyone in the UK I can contact regarding this?

• 
  iamscorchy (@iamscorchy) reported 39 minutes ago from Wednesfield, England

  Beard Punk (@BeardPunk) reported 40 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  @virginmedia Hi. The team have also said that the issue isn’t resolved though? Everything has been reset multiple times this morning and still the same issue.

• 
  Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported 48 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  Mad that I pay £71 a month for 350mbps a month for @virginmedia for them to only supply me with 40mbps, internet is barely moving, can’t even load basic web pages on my MacBook or phone. Problems in the Birmingham area??

• 
  Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported 50 minutes ago from Dudley, England

  @virginmedia I’m currently on hold. My mum is in her 70’s and waited in for an engineer only for them to send a text 10mins before to say you were coming in the 26th. The original appointment was the 21st and her TV service has been down for well over a week.

• 
  Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported 52 minutes ago 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.

  Adam Luxon (@adam_luxon) reported 6 minutes ago

  @theashrb It isn’t at all and they’ll still think they can get away with it. The government should intervene in this matter to ensure that all public goods cannot outsource their customer service. A few months ago, I had a horrible call with virgin media after my contract finished

• 
  Mystic Falls (@Avat_it) reported 7 minutes ago

  Virgin Media. Why is my wifi not working again 3rd time in three weeks

• 
  Kerrin McIntosh 💙 (@kerbear_t) reported 7 minutes ago

  @Salfordoriginal @virginmedia Off since Weds and the fix only due by Monday. What kind of company is this - and we get no help or compensation.

• 
  Bigphuco 💧 (@Bigphuco) reported 9 minutes ago

  @virginmedia again virgin media down again and asking me to book an engineer for Tuesday. Absolutely ridiculous and to think u wanted to charge me £80 for a renewal on my contract!

• 
  nico 🏁 (@bombdiggy__) reported 10 minutes ago

  @theashrb They all read of a script. If Customer wants A then take this step to see if you can offer them B instead. I hate O2/virgin media

• 
  Hayley Laura (@LilHay) reported 10 minutes ago

  @_AnaCristina_ @virginmedia Can you use your data to go on your online account lovey? Do that and down the side it gives a WhatsApp option. They’re open 8-8 and v v good at getting back to u within 10 mins or so

• 
  Pazuzu (@Craig_Higgins) reported 13 minutes ago

  Hey @virginmedia we've recently just renegotiated our internet with yourselves after the price became completely unaffordable but based on the news Ofcom has found you guilty of deliberately mishandling customer calls, was this an unwise move?

• 
  RednalNut (@RednalNut) reported 15 minutes ago

  @Stsantek @virginmedia Ofcom fine Virgin Media £28 million. But fail to regulate. Where does the money go? There are regulatory bodies for everything in the uk, Water, Energy, Communications, Banking, Health Care. Do they actually do anything?

  When @virginmedia tells you to update your Tivo Box to the latest version, DON'T DO IT! It is truly RUBBISH There is not one single thing about it that is not WORSE than the previous version. So bad that I will be leaving Virgin as soon as I can
