  Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported 16 seconds ago from Birmingham, England

  @virginmedia Yes I’ve done that. My connection drops out for a minute or so every 30-60 mins. Hard to replicate. My account has notes regarding the reason why the credit was given last time. Ideally I don’t want to wait so long for the same issue to be fixed.

  @virginmedia what is going on B31 5 still without Broadband & TV from 11am and now being told fix is 12pm tomorrow. I have been unable to work all day & now problem is going in to tomorrow. This is unacceptable & I hope refunds for loss of service will be applied to all accounts.

  @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?

  @Tilton247 @virginmedia I had the same for 2 years. Constantly disconnecting on a daily basis . Changed the Hub and it worked straight away. No issues since. Good luck getting a new hub off them though.

  @virginmedia Yes, the fault dates back from the 25th August and hopefully a fix will be made tomorrow, if not an engineer is booked for next week. When I finally got through the team were very helpful

  Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported 23 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.

  @virginmedia Hi, I have now tried unsuccessfully for 12 hours to use the WhatsApp service as again it goes around in circles if I am not immediately available. The number you helpfully provided hangs up after sending a link… please advise how I talk to someone about my account.

  @denchaser @virginmedia I left after 25 years with them, unfortunately their customer service is really bad. I’ve spent hrs waiting and dealing with them only on a couple of things but jeez it’s hard work.

  @ZiaYusufUK I spent morning after morning on the phone trying to cancel Virgin media. Reduced me to tears eventually. Id welcome this move

  Craig (@Scrumpyjackfan) reported 18 minutes ago

  Funny ain’t it after 25 years with Virgin Media I’ve decided to part ways and they have given me a UK no to ring and that they are able to nearly price match youfibre. I told them their Cust service is really bad and that’s the main reason I’m off. 👋👋👋
