  @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!

  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??

  @virginmedia TV completely down this morning ,it’s been intermittent since September nobody helps me just fobbed off. Who is the ombudsman over you I can complain to? I’m no longer prepared to keep paying for services I’m not getting.

  Zero Internet connectivity from @virginmedia now for pushing 12 hours. Resetting and/or powering down the hub does nothing, the diagnostic and fault tools just go round and around in an ever more boring circle. #LightningSpeedFarce

  @virginmedia Dear ‘RP,’ I find your tone unacceptable. I don’t care how many times you’ve had to repeat the statement; customers are paying for a service they’ve not been getting, so dial down your level of obnoxiousness please.

  Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported 30 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

  Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported 39 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 40 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  Once 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

  Andy (@a_Muss60) reported 42 minutes ago from Swindon, England

  @matt_hanson70 @virginmedia Intermittent for 2.5 days, Sunday always v poor the worst is 0.4mbs with a 250mbs supply. VM's script always saying reboot etc.. Funny though following reporting an issue a week ago I suddenly recorded 256mbs for an hour then it slowly drops to normal! First ever hitting supply.

• 
  Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported 42 minutes ago from Dudley, England

  @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

• 
  Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported 43 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  @virginmedia It’s on both WiFi and wired. At this present moment I’m unable to get ANY network from the router on both.

  Yvonne 💙 (@Momrocks50) reported 54 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  Excuse me we pay enough for a "cough" service where is it? #virginmedia

• 
  Dani Grim (@RefinedSavage) reported 57 minutes ago from Dudley, England

  Seems 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.

• 
  Casey Rain (aka S-Endz) (@CaseyRain) reported 57 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?

  @virginmedia why is the Sky Sports red button not working

  John Quinlan (@speeednet) reported 8 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I have had a rubbish service for months. Late last year an engineer knocked on the door and said because of a technical problem he had to replace the feed to my house, later informed me he couldn't because of a problem with the ducting. Fast forward to March 26, I get a text saying he is coming 16/03 no show, no explanation no apology. Next text says he will be there 27/04 no show no apology. The last three days the modem/router reboots about every five minutes, phoned again on Sunday explained and the techy advised me can't do anything until 20th June. This is not acceptable, I have been trying for two days to get onto your site, I am told you are sending a confirmation email which never arrives, subsequently I cannot contact the company. Just so that you know I have had enough and will be looking to replace the service ASAP. If I have any contract outstanding, I will see you in court.

  It's mom not mum (@rchcool) reported 9 minutes ago

  @virginmedia 3rd time this week our broadband is down, no explanation has been given each time only “an outage has been identified” and it takes at least a day to repair. What is the reason? I need to work from home this week and receive the service I am paying for.

• 
  Gav Ferry (@GavFerry) reported 11 minutes ago

  @rossmckinley @virginmedia Good luck. We got rid as the price sky rocketed, trying to cancel was a nightmare.

• 
  Pete Bradbury (@PeteBradders) reported 13 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I have been a customer of yours for 25 years and upon the most recent contract renewal, you denied the package I opted for because it was for 'new customers only' and then went on to charge me with a bill for £124! A colossal 34% increase! Loyalty means nothing!

  Shakermaker (@jonno153) reported 18 minutes ago

  @virginmedia hello, I’ve been having WiFi problems for some time now. I already have a WiFi pod in the home but if I move it then we get another dead spot. I have called about this but was told that I need to have a speed test below 30mbps.

  @virginmedia are your online chats for "upgrades" AI powered? The responses are terrible. So adios after 20+ years of good and bad service but mainly good. Your renewal prices are shocking though. #noexistingcustomerloyalty
