    @virginmedia Can you please explain why, when I renewed my package in March you reduced my last invoiced bill to reflect the change & took by DD what you said you would! Now you say you will suspend my service because I underpaid? You took what you wanted!

    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.

    @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

    @virginmedia afternoon. I’ve been on hold for 25 mins and when I finally got through the line went dead after security questions. My mum has been without her TV service for over a week. Last night an engineer was due by 6 o’clock and never showed. Another text stating the 26th

  • kolapoagunbiade
    TheBosz (@kolapoagunbiade) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Unfortunately, you dont have a ticketing system or cobtact email to track issues, rather a phone system that requires you to wait forever to get through to an agent. A/c number: 095063606. I was charged x2.5 of what i was tp pay.

  • nippa77
    Neil Simpson (@nippa77) reported from Swindon, England

    @virginmedia why is it that your service is up and down more than a yo-yo? It’s getting ridiculous now!!!

  • OpiniatedOne1

    @virginmedia its nice you’re offering new customers ridiculously cheap deals but charging prices through the roof for an inferior service for a customer of nearly 20 years #CostOfLivingCrisis

    Dr. William Weir (@WilliamWeirFun) reported

    @virginmedia I don’t need your reminder, know my bill is overdue. It’s not with the want of my me not trying to pay it mind. I’ve been trying to sign in to PAY the bill for days but due to your insane stupid link up with O2 I can’t.

    @virginmedia Hi! Since 14th Grandad has got "Title Not Available" on all channels and experiencing intermittent issues with picture. Looks like not connected to Virgin Network but only option is wired when never has been wired?! Tried hard resets on both box and router.

    @MariaPIreland @longlostfamily @virginmedia Yes Maria. Too many left this world never knowing a sense of belonging, There was no paper trail and DNA had not advanced to provide heritage. Even today it is difficult to gain answers and Government appear eager to ignore

    @virginmedia do you have any idea when our area will have service? I am unable to reach your customer service to book an engineer.

    Ailsa (@Ailsa56202286) reported

    @virginmedia I have had 3 conversations with your representatives on the phone in the last week promising a change on my account/ complaints email and none of them have followed through? Is anyone else finding the virgin media team to be totally USELESS. Will never be using again

  • TheWonderChildd
    Daniel (@TheWonderChildd) reported

    @virginmedia wanna explain my bill hike this month? And the lack of money back from the outage I had?

  • cschmeer
    Christian Schmeer (@cschmeer) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you, but unfortunately there’s no alternative placement as the next power socket would be through a wall and 10 meters down the hallway, which might help with the overheating, but it all my network connections run to the cupboard by the entrance.
