  • isamutlib Isa #StayHomeSaveLives (@isamutlib) reported from Birmingham, England

    It's actually tragic how bad @virginmedia broadband has gotten over the last few days. Hope we are refunded for this period of shocking internet coverage. Still think it's the best service but need to sort out current issues.

  • bodymanialtd Body Mania Ltd (@bodymanialtd) reported from Birmingham, England

    @vmbusiness my business broadband is down and I cannot take debit and credit card payments. Also the WiFi will randomly cut out on us. Could you please check this out. I have a essential business to run, and I am not as lucky as @richardbranson to ask for a bail out! Help us!

    @virginmedia fix up! You killing my vibe.

  • djneiljbham DJ Neil J Birmingham (@djneiljbham) reported from Wednesfield, England

    Loving all the people moaning their virgin media being down. Most being paid for by their parents! Stop moaning! Either they’ve had a major piece of equipment fail or they’ve been hacked. Be patient, and it will be sorted. Or move to another and only get slow 30mb broadband!

  • _auralaura_ 💎 (@_auralaura_) reported from Birmingham, England

    Virgin Media is down yet a-*******- gain. I'm off to bed.

  • dan04harris Dan Harris (@dan04harris) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    Hi @virginmedia was expecting to receive call today at 12pm from someone called John but we still waiting. Really getting annoyed at how you are treating us! 14 years of being a loyal customer and being treated like this! Your customer service and bereavement team are the worst!

    @virginmedia You say there’s no issue but our WiFi has been up and down like the flipping Assyrian empire all day. Very cross!!

  • 2020Nicko N (@2020Nicko) reported

    @virginmedia How funny with virgin media telling me WhatsApp i have to wait just for simple Unser i requested for my direct debit to be payed to them one day after 28th how hard would that be ,,never mind

  • RajeshThakrar Rajesh Thakrar (@RajeshThakrar) reported

    @Jules28_0 @virginmedia Same here. It’s so bad

  • RayCampbell19 Dr. Ray Campbell (@RayCampbell19) reported

    @virginmedia This is another problem with Virgin Media: the contradictory information. I can set my watch to the outages. Terrible service.

  • JohnBeckford John Beckford (@JohnBeckford) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you, I eventually got through to a human being - took about 45 minutes which is pretty awful! I was concerned about the cost of service provision which has now been resolved.

  • RayCampbell19 Dr. Ray Campbell (@RayCampbell19) reported

    @virginmedia App says 1100. Helpline says 1600. Which one is correct? Service went off at approximately 2030 last night. I'll be starting another round of complaints.

  • ThomasAdamson86 Thomas Adamson (@ThomasAdamson86) reported

    @virginmedia It’s Wi-Fi!! Your technician identified damage, that’s why they sent the external team but it’s still slow

  • Cristin53233011 Cristina (@Cristin53233011) reported

    Has anyone had trouble cancelling a contract with Virgin Media even though you were well within the cooling off period? I have cancelled both in writing and by phone but still have not received a cancellation confirmation email as promised!

  • smahes4 Sid M (@smahes4) reported

    @virginmedia Yes that’s what your customer call centre has said to me - without a reference who investigated. Not sure what is the purpose of this social handle when you can’t even handle customer queries @richardbranson pls can you intervene

  • RajeshThakrar Rajesh Thakrar (@RajeshThakrar) reported

    @virginmedia can’t get through on 150. Do you guys ever answer. I would now like to cancel my tv and broadband with you. But can’t even get through to do this! Do I just cancel my direct debit?

  • vinnie_davis Vinnie Davis (@vinnie_davis) reported from Portsmouth, England

    @virginmedia me again. To be clear after you canceled my 90 year old mother's contract and cut her off without warning leaving her, isolated from emergency support and assistance, are you going to repay the credit of her account or adding theft to company policy. @Ofcom
