  @virginmedia Internet has been down again for the whole night. When I spoke to you about the recent last 6 times it’s been down you said there was no issue! Looks like whole of UK was down now yet our bills go UP & UP & UP! #virginmedia

  @Ian66232919 @virginmedia @02 have been awful and the reception is non existent, especially any where near Villa Park. May as well not take my phone out.

  @virginmedia Hi, I have now tried unsuccessfully for 12 hours to use the WhatsApp service as again it goes around in circles if I am not immediately available. The number you helpfully provided hangs up after sending a link… please advise how I talk to someone about my account.

  @virginmedia signed up for your new broadband and still waiting for the stuff to arrive. Apparently parcel is still at @YodelOnline main hub. This is the SECOND day I've cancelled things and waited for it to arrive as yet to no avail. WTF is going on!?! 🤬

  Colin Hunt (@HuntColin58) reported 16 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

  @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 🙃

  iamscorchy (@iamscorchy) reported 46 minutes ago from Wednesfield, England

  Virgin media is literally dog! Worst thing I've done is keep renewing with you every year next year 100% going with bt! Forever dropping out reconnecting utter pointless meant to be 1gig complete waffle! @Virgin #virginmedia

  Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported 46 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  @virginmedia But when a contract is agreed like a mortgage or a fixed energy deal surely the agreement should last the full term. I’ve had issues since September & been told I can’t leave due to being under a contract so why should my costs go up when I’ve got an agreement in place until Dec

• 
  𝚋𝚎𝚝𝚑 (@beffycuk) reported 48 minutes ago from Dudley, England

  @virginmedia Yes, and every-time it says no issue, when there clearly is! It interferes with everything, the hive, the tv everything! Really considering going elsewhere.

• 
  Scott badham (@scbadham) reported 48 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

• 
  Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported 51 minutes ago from Dudley, England

  @virginmedia I understand that your systems were down last night, which happens, but I’ve been on hold for 30 mins this morning. We have a text to say it’s resolved but it isn’t. I just need to speak to someone please.

• 
  SorachiTim (@PolymathTim) reported 51 minutes ago from West Bromwich, England

  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

  Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported 53 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  @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 having issues with Wi-Fi at home and your websites including the one on service status checks are not loading? As a result I can’t even report the problem.

  Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported 55 minutes ago from Solihull, England

  @virginmedia 4x since I’ve moved across from BT, the service has been completely down in my area, this in space of just a few months. This has affected exam revision, kids bedtime routines, among other things. Terrible, pathetic service and can’t wait until my contract expires!

  lucy barnett (@lucebarnett) reported 24 minutes ago

  @EE I was on a call for 42 minutes this morning and got nowhere. Nobody wants to take any responsibility and suggesting I didn’t order despite the fact SIMs have moved over to One plan and Virgin Media contacted me about leaving. Very poor service

• 
  Jan Hobbs (@CleanzineEditor) reported 24 minutes ago

  @virginmedia you are an absolute disgrace. Internet down since Friday and you are saying the 30th to put right? Absolute joke why the delay?

  matt (@sirtrevsheader) reported 26 minutes ago

  I was told I would get £40 credit on my account for poor service but it had not been taken away from my bill,instead ypu have stated that I owe £40 from last month instead. Lying again. @virginmedia

  @JJMootts @virginmedia I don't get why everyone moans, been with them for nearly 20 years and might have had 3 issues, it's almost never down, the internet speeds are far beyond what any other provider can do, although the others may have finally caught up, for years it wasn't close.
