  @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

  @virginmedia Nobody has called me and the WhatsApp chat is very frustrating and not dealing with the issue. This is very simple, I was sent contract paperwork with an agreed monthly fee of £86.75. Why have I paid two months of excessively higher payments. I should have left VM

  @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.

  Casey Rain (aka S-Endz) (@CaseyRain) reported 9 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  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.

  Dani Grim (@RefinedSavage) reported 12 minutes ago from Dudley, England

  Seems like @virginmedia is completely down in our area, I can't even access their support site to log a problem. Also it appears that @O2 is having some sort of issue, my mobile data connection is so slow that royal mail could be a viable messaging alternative.

• 
  Andraay Leung (@Andraay) reported 15 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  @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.

  TheBosz (@kolapoagunbiade) reported 18 minutes ago 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.

  Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported 34 minutes ago from Dudley, England

  @virginmedia I’m currently on hold. My mum is in her 70’s and waited in for an engineer only for them to send a text 10mins before to say you were coming in the 26th. The original appointment was the 21st and her TV service has been down for well over a week.

• 
  Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported 40 minutes ago from Dudley, England

  @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

  @Damien_Clyburn @virginmedia They're appalling. I've had business version for 10 years. BT never miss a beat. Outstanding. Get rid of them.

  Howard Martin 💚 (@HJMKent) reported 55 minutes ago from Kidderminster, England

  @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!

  🇬🇧 Rioja😺Chianti😽 Dracula🐱Chablis🌈 (@M1Rioja) reported 7 minutes ago

  @virginmedia (p2) He signed me up. Two days later I went into your O2 Store to cancel the phone part, took an hour, yet you still took £18.70 from my account and only refunded £17.40. I still haven't had a cancellation email for a broadband I did not take up. Fraudulent Underhand

• 
  Sean Pearson (@soapyrct) reported 8 minutes ago

  @mobily_uk @virginmedia Because they expect lots of folk to either not realise or just pay anyway, its also why they make it so difficult to call. Funny you can join and change everything on line except cancel! Virgin are THE worst company for service.

• 
  Graham Booth (@laserblue) reported 9 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Hi, it seems my set top box is on the blink and my chances of watching my beloved Man City maybe at risk. I could switch to Nowtv, but that will cost me £15 for a 24hr pass. I've used the tips as featured in the trouble shooting guide. No luck. Can you help? Thanks

• 
  Kevin Nash (@KevinDNash) reported 11 minutes ago

  @virginmedia @keithapearson Virgin media should not be able to trade in UK, horrid company, I don't miss speaking to India, South Africa to name but two.

  Dylhen (@djdylhen) reported 12 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Can you advise on what's happening with services in B30 please?Broadband has gone down.

• 
  CMDR Andy Fireblade Muza (@andymuza) reported 14 minutes ago

  @virginmedia You will quickly remove discounts and charge them extra without even offering the loyal customer any other offers. And now to add insult to injury you only offer 24 month contract. @youfibre will be getting my custom soon. Sick to death of virgin shafting it's loyal customers.

  @virginmedia is there an issue in the TS15 area? How is one to doom scroll on TikTok efficiently with no internets?

• 
  Gadge (@gadgetweetin) reported 22 minutes ago

  @virginmedia last month I called up to specifically cancel my TV/BB/Phone contract which ends on 5th May, before the price triples. I started a new BB only contact. This morning I am infuriated to see my bundle has not been cancelled at all & I have been charged for it😡😡

  Ben C (@BenChubb4) reported 23 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Ive now been told that to get my ticket number, they will need to raise a new ticket further delaying the original problem resolution date. That cannot be true and doesn’t work like that in other organisations who use tickets and escalation points through a CRM system
