@Cplcash @virginmedia Problem is other providers are so slow at installing fibre cables that most have no choice but to go with VM

It looks like @virginmedia name servers are not accessible so no DNS records can be resolved. A major outage for their services. Seems to be no comms from them. @BBCNews are you aware? #VirginMediaDown #VirginMedia

@virginmedia a customer of yours for years. Had a cpi increase letter to say leave with out penalty. Competitor massively cheaper than you for faster speeds. Only to be told by a colleague I have to pay £110 to leave today?

And just like that my @virginmedia is off again, no internet whatsoever. Embarrassing service from them, very disappointed and frustrated.

@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 Think we need to call an engineer out anyways, before the outage I was only getting 600mbps max when my package is the 1Gig.

@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

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

@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.

@virginmedia I can see you offer email after having read a lot of your twitter responses. Can someone please email me as i can't phone or log in. It's about me ending a contract 4 months ago which I did correctly in writing and still having issues .

@virginmedia is there an issue with your app on the iPhone? Whenever I go to the pay bill option it opens up the web browser and then it won’t let me sign in to pay the bill. Just keeps sending me back to the same page.

@virginmedia Why do you keep sending people outside my house to report the same problem again and again. The problem has been the same for 3 months and you still ain’t fixed it. You keep sending someone who reports the same issue @LutzSchueler

@virginmedia I managed to pay it in the end but please could you fix your website…there’s some weird redirecting happening when trying to either view or pay your bill. London/Broadband

@virginmedia You are alle to see it because you’ve not in the affected areas in North London, I assume. Look, this has been going on for two weeks. And as you can see from the VM community site, there a number of us who have contacted the VM tech team. No help. Read the thread to understand.
