@virginmedia You seem to find it very easy to let go a loyal customer of 23 years. You won't be that sad.

Why can’t media providers just get into the 21st century and make it easier for households, by having contracts based on a joint accounts. That way, both home owners can call up about any problems! Data protection my arse @virginmedia @SkyUK

@SuperfastStaffs please let @virginmedia lay their cables in #Bilbrook and #Codsall we need proper #fibre broadband. We are being left behind with the copper solution that @WeAreOpenreach leave us with and it’s getting worse! @south_staffs @GavinWilliamson @StaffordshireCC

@virginmedia Cheers for the top. Yes, tv & broadband services issues with an estimated fix time of 23:55. I may have to crack open the Scrabble & the candles. Now I know how people felt in the black outs during the war!

@virginmedia Intermittent problem. It’s back on & then it’s gone again. Very frustrating.

@virginmedia Yes but I just tells me there are no problems. It did the same thing a few weeks ago but stopped when I held wifi button down - it's now constantly flashing & that wont stop it & web site says in normal operating all green lights should be off.

Virgin Media should be reported to the advertising standards, for lies, what a total load of crap, try getting your customer service telling the truth for a start .

@SimonADouglas @virginmedia We have the occasional internet problem but since the last announced 'update' the hub seems to be resetting itself. Doesn't matter to the 'wired' machines but obviously disconnects the WiFi! Irritating as the restart times are long and inputting the names/password is a pain 🙄

@virginmedia 8 conversations to cancel our service and cxl confirmed by virgin. Cancellation first made on 28 Feb. Just received a bill and you have billed for April and May. What a shambles you are! Get your act together now! I have paid final balance & no more is due!

@virginmedia Tom, I already have, and they refused to match the same cost when the introductory offer finishes. You are still over charging me £125 p.a. for being an existing customer. Please have a UK customer manager contact me

@virginmedia do you have broadband issues in #Solihull as the service appears to have gone down. According to your service status page tho there aren't any issues 🤔 I beg to differ!

@virginmedia Please concentrate on getting up the noses of broadband customers, and stop running shit trains, and suing the NHS for money that was never yours in the first place.

@virginmedia @VirginMediaCorp Do you provide the worst customer service in the UK? 3 months after applying we still have no internet. #shambles

@VirginMedia we have had no service since early hours of morning whats going on? No broadband at all and TV says "we are setting up your channels" not good enough

(@Danielraphael1) reported
@TobyChimp @virginmedia That's awful but not unsurprising! I'm not arranging for a collection. If they want it back then they're going to have to arrange it. I'm probably just going to leave it outside my front door and hope that it accepts whatever it's fate may be.

@virginmedia Yeah, and it says there’s no known issues. But there is something wrong with the number of times our connection drops!

@virginmedia Not downloading via outlook says can’t contact service and standard error message when i try webmail. I see from googling and twitter that other people experiencing same issue. So not issue this end. Other email addresses from other providers working ok

@virginmedia So that’s it then ? Sigh . I have to say I am not surprised . I don’t actually expect you have account access . I had hoped you had access to someone who could actually help .

@virginmedia It's on a wireless connection. We were convinced to go from 100 to 200 service because we were told the reliability would be better, but it feels worse.
