  Simon Neale (@nealesj) reported 1 minute 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.

  Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported 8 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  @virginmedia I’m going to but I know I won’t get anywhere anyway the customer never gets anywhere

  @matt_hanson70 @virginmedia Intermittent for 2.5 days, Sunday always v poor the worst is 0.4mbs with a 250mbs supply. VM's script always saying reboot etc.. Funny though following reporting an issue a week ago I suddenly recorded 256mbs for an hour then it slowly drops to normal! First ever hitting supply.

  @virginmedia business installation, been given 6 dates since 17th January. 4 no show or wrong booked, 2 attendance but not equipped to extend installation from 1sf floor to 2nd. even billed for a service which is not even installed yet. Nightmare #virginmedia #broadband

  @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

  @LenFPS @virginmedia they don’t care. it only happens 7pm onwards but will happen until the next morning so I can’t stream or anything. and they’re telling me to write on a forum as if that will fix it😤

  Chris Psaras (@chrispsaras) reported 30 minutes ago from Dudley, England

  @virginmedia no broadband since yesterday afternoon, told engineers were on route but still no update. Your offshore call centre is also unhelpful and not able to offer any further information. Please can you help?

  @virginmedia I called cust serv today after logging complaint on 26th Nov and hearing nothing back. cust serv asked me to request my data and voice calls. listen to it myself and then send proof of being missold a contract/virgin error, so virgin can then resolve the matter and complaint

  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.

  Had problems with my TV since September now can’t get any live football or movies @virginmedia

  Adie Hughes (@AdieJAMster) reported 40 minutes ago from Swindon, England

  @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

  Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported 42 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  @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

• 
  Susan Johnson (@SusieWJr) reported 42 minutes ago from Swindon, England

  @virginmedia @ste1984r But YOU say 'intermittent' loss when it isn't. It's FULL loss of service. And to only compensate after 2 days is crazy.

• 
  Scott badham (@scbadham) reported 43 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

  @virginmedia @YodelOnline your ability to deliver equipment is shocking!!! The customer service you provide is even worse!!!

• 
  iamscorchy (@iamscorchy) reported 48 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

  The problem in my area B37 has been happening for over a week can’t watch any TV now @virginmedia over £100 a month!! Plus I’ve been waiting 2 years for an internet booster

  Howard Martin 🇺🇦🇪🇺 (@HJMKent) reported 51 minutes ago from Kidderminster, England

  @virginmedia You have just repeated, word for word, the last tweet you sent me, to which I replied! Pointless trying to have any conversation with @virginmedia because it just goes round in circles! The most appalling customer services in UK in my experience! No more tweets from you, please!

  Ashley Day (@AshleyDay1971) reported 58 minutes ago from Woodside, England

  @virginmedia Internet down again, 3rd day I'm a row. Can't even check status on your website as its not loading properly. When will it be fixed?

  @virginmedia I’m still locked out of my virginmedia account after waiting 15 working days for resolution of this problem

  Andy Rossiter (@andy_rossiter76) reported 9 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Who's bright idea was it to switch landline phones over to digital optic ?? We have the landline in the livingroom, but the internet hub is in the bedroom. Also when the internet goes down, will this mean the phone goes down too ??

  YorkshireB'stard (@Phil197881) reported 12 minutes ago

  @TheGriftReport I have the same problem with Virgin media, their call centre is in India and more than once I've just rung off after not understanding what the guy said.

• 
  Charlotte Riggio (@MsLiberty1776US) reported 15 minutes ago

  @virginmedia you know what would be great? If your phone system worked so your agents could hear customers and not hang up on them saying there’s no response

• 
  David Richards (@DWRICHARDS) reported 18 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Thank you. I look forward to doing so after the current period of 30 days (in which to issue a replacement cheque) has expired and when I will need to renew my attempts at scaling your high security battlements!

  Red Hand Rohl (@TheHarvDawg72) reported 20 minutes ago

  8 hours worth of calls and 7 hours sitting on the live chat with virgin media and I haven’t spoken to a single British person 🤯 Genuinely the worst customer service Ave ever had in my life btw

• 
  Deano (@deanspread) reported 21 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Well I’m at work now but it was working then going off for a couple minutes then back on all day. Then about 9pm went off for 20 mins then back on. Went on your page to check the service and it was saying nothing was wrong.

  Asa McGrath (@amcgrath1uk) reported 22 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I know that there’s an issue in the area. It went early this morning. I’ve seen the spike of reports. I’ve seen the bot say it’s gonna get fixed. Then the bot is saying the issue is with our box. Even though I know there’s tons in the area still having issues. Basically, it lies
