  Alex (@laticwolf) reported 42 seconds 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 🙃

  Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported 16 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

  Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported 17 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 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

  @Niknaklady1 @virginmedia Oh dear. That's what made me think the problem may not be virgin, if you've got signal on another set. Hope you get it sorted 👍

  @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

  Hi @virginmedia, I am in Kidderminster, Worcestershire (DY11) and my Virgin Media broadband connection is very poor this week. I have checked your website & apparently there are no issues in my area. I have also restated my access point/router twice but no improvement.

  Beard Punk (@BeardPunk) reported 39 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.

  Simon Neale (@nealesj) reported 43 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 our television signal has been awful since Tuesday. Picture is pixelated and scrambled. I’ve phoned customer service 4 times! Today I have been told the issue won’t be resolved until next Friday! Totally unacceptable

• 
  Paul James Smith (@PaulJamesSmith4) reported 11 minutes ago

  @misselledee @virginmedia Generic bot replies as usual. Their customer service doesn’t exist. How they’re still in business amazes me.

  Shaun Todd (@Redveee) reported 13 minutes ago

  @mobily_uk @virginmedia I renewed recently with a few clicks online cause I had to replace my Tivo box for a TV 360 box. I was out of contract and paid £104 for 2 months, new bill for same service is now £64, less than what I was paying in contract. After 12 months it goes up to £69.

  @virginmedia My TV and broadband has been down since 11am? Any idea whats going on?

• 
  Addy (@iadnan9) reported 20 minutes ago

  @virginmedia @HawtinStewart Reported an issue 2 months ago and only just received a response. The advice given was unhelpful, careless, and frankly unprofessional. The issue is still ongoing with Now being told it could take another 28 days for a follow-up. Completely unacceptable and a waste of time.

• 
  ThunderCurrie (@Thundercurrie) reported 29 minutes ago

  @virginmedia what in the world is up with the wifi in Bournemouth at the moment? No fix until April 15th? I'd very much like some kind of reasonable explanation for that please...

  @virginmedia - so you’ve just cut me off after speaking to one of the operatives for 35 minutes. Terrible service

  @sme30 @virginmedia @NetflixUK Bloody hell. Would have been easier to cancel Netflix! 🤦 Maybe try and upgrade on ur box and see if Netflix now comes as standard with upgrades.... Then cancel the stand alone one? 😬🤷
