  Beard Punk (@BeardPunk) reported 3 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.

• 
  Frugalista (@frugalista1) reported 4 minutes ago from Dorridge, England

  @virginmedia Typical Virgin Media response. Passing me on. Not actually solving the problem. I will never come back to @virginmedia and will advise all my friends never to think of using you.

  Any news on outages in B37? Also how do I get compensation for loss of svcs (inc my TV not working properly since September) @virginmedia

• 
  Alex (@laticwolf) reported 6 minutes ago from Bradmore, England

  @virginmedia good work 👏🏼 issues with WiFi being down constantly as soon as £7.50 monthly bill increases comes in! Currently on hour 5 of no internet and not due to be fixed before 1am 🙃

• 
  Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported 8 minutes 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 @YodelOnline your ability to deliver equipment is shocking!!! The customer service you provide is even worse!!!

• 
  Scott badham (@scbadham) reported 14 minutes ago from West Bromwich, England

  @virginmedia really disappointed in the service lately all it does is keep dropping. I’ve had no Internet services for the last hour again the fourth time this week and it’s still not working

  @virginmedia I received my new 500+mps broadband only to get 6mps on my phone in my room. The Router is Terrible and cannot send the speed to devices via wifi. Not Good for anyone

  Simon Neale (@nealesj) reported 23 minutes ago from Swindon, England

  @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.

  @virginmedia how am I supposed to book an engineer? There are issues with the quick start installation I have and need an engineer to set it up for me

  @IanMurphy111 @virginmedia Been with them since Telewest I don’t know why I stay false promises poor service

  Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported 30 minutes ago from Solihull, England

  @virginmedia Just called your offshore call centre regarding my internet connection. I’m having the same issues as I had when I got a £154 credit from you. /1

  Simon Neale (@nealesj) reported 31 minutes ago from Swindon, England

  Hey, ‘RP,’ again, @virginmedia is down. The lack of resilience is shocking and embarrassing for a major broadband provider. #VirginMediaDown #VirginMedia

  @virginmedia broadband down again from Virginmedia Common theme these days

• 
  Casey Rain (aka S-Endz) (@CaseyRain) reported 41 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  Had 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.

  Colin Hunt (@HuntColin58) reported 43 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  @virginmedia It took me best part of a day Friday 24/3/2023 to contact you to cancel my broadband but since I finally managed to you have been contacting me 4 times a day. We have signed a contract with someone else. Please stop harassing us we have cancelled

• 
  Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported 48 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

  @PeteUK7 @virginmedia Sorry you’ve experienced this. I had the same with @virginmedia when my dad passed and on calling, the agent was so rude to me it made everything so much harder. Witnessed and we still cannot believe the conversation. Kindness costs nothing.

• 
  Manoj Parmar (@MannyParmar) reported 6 minutes ago

  @virginmedia you’ve made no provisions for your vulnerable customers in the LE5 5AA area after a lightning strike took out comms for everyone? Your estimated time to fix has gone from 24 hours to 4th June which is over a week away! How are life line pendants going to work?

• 
  the_beeb_23 (@thebeeb_23) reported 6 minutes ago

  @virginmedia a little man from virgin media just rocked up at the door to explore opportunities to get our business back. How poor is the customer relationship software that they don’t have on record that pricing, service and delivery was so bog awful I will never go back?

• 
  Sharon (@SharonHerbert) reported 8 minutes ago

  @GeoffJonners @virginmedia They did this to us - went from £124 to £211 so we did the switching service with Sky. Virgin then called to offer us the same package for £74. Too late I’m afraid! 👋

  mary32 (@marypaul32) reported 12 minutes ago

  @virginmedia is this how you treat your vulnerable customers? A 72 year old man has been left with no WiFi after builders cut through a virgin cable. He spent an hour on the phone and virgin won't come to fix it till 10th June. He can't make nhs appt as must be online.

  @virginmedia @LutzSchueler Shocking customer service from VM. Next step will be contacting the communications ombudsman

• 
  Jane (@janethebuell) reported 15 minutes ago

  @PeteUK7 @virginmedia Same problem with @skytv. Told them mum had died & wanted account closed. They said "we cannot close the account, we need to talk to the account holder". I repeated she died. I gave up, sent the equipment back & ignored the flurry of demanding emails. Very distressing.

  Pete 😷 #COVIDisAirborne (@PeteUK7) reported 16 minutes ago

  @ProfChocCaXe @virginmedia Nothing personal? How much more personal than intimating you know my mother's cause of death can you be? Having gone through 3 months of trauma watching her die a slow and painful death, how welcome do you suppose your comments are? I am grieving her loss and people like you are the lowest of the low.

• 
  Diane Elebert-Morgan (@GMCC_Diane) reported 17 minutes ago

  @virginmedia loving the even further dial down of our broadband as we enter InTo the last few days of contract with you! You already turned it down after the first 8 weeks so we had to upgrade! We have never used you before and we will never use you again! Good riddance!

  @Nasher6328 @JamieGBarry @virginmedia Nah **** that. If I need to go through the song and dance anyway I may as well switch and get whatever freebies they throw to new customers. It’s just a stupid system that doesn’t reward loyalty and means we all have to waste our time every 2 years.
