  @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.

  @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.

  Hey, ‘RP,’ again, @virginmedia is down. The lack of resilience is shocking and embarrassing for a major broadband provider. #VirginMediaDown #VirginMedia

  Shaun (@shauny67) reported 7 minutes ago

  @virginmedia @sharonmariahall Yes excellent internet speeds & the only provider you can put the router into modem mode & add your own kit. 9 times out of 10 any WiFi issues are down to devices or where you have the router not the service. If you have a WiFi pod ensure you set up WiFi back haul.

  IrishWill (@DiabloDame1) reported 11 minutes ago

  @virginmedia hi, we have a complete outage (waterford city) no TV, no Internet. We have attempted all options, so don't send us links to your website. This is going on for 3.5 hrs. Modem flashing red, can't get work done, & unable to even watch TV. What is going on?

  DonegalDúnedain 🇮🇪 (@DonegalDunedain) reported 11 minutes ago

  @moefitzpatrick I was expecting less support tbh, but the anomaly that is FFG 90 year old voters whose only source of info is Virgin Media and RTÉ will always upset perceived public opinion.

  Alloqui Strix (@AlloquiStrix) reported 14 minutes ago

  @virginmedia First thing this morning you said the outage in my area (22) would continue for another week,then another message saying it would be fixed today, and now a message saying it'll be a week again. Is there a playbook you guys are using to wind up its customers?

• 
  just me (@PHILROOKS) reported 19 minutes ago

  @virginmedia With respect I have done this, and you just come back saying you can't access my account or help as you're just the MEDIA TEAM. I'm sure you're here to just monitor the poor comments and look like you care, when you don't. Your CEO should be embarrassed and take responsibility

  Alistair Drummond (@adrum1983) reported 31 minutes ago

  @misselledee @virginmedia I was out of contract and had to ask 3 times to be disconnected, they continued to charge me and said it wasn’t their problem when I complained they’d overcharged by £120. Never ever again!!
