  @virginmedia Hi, I have now tried unsuccessfully for 12 hours to use the WhatsApp service as again it goes around in circles if I am not immediately available. The number you helpfully provided hangs up after sending a link… please advise how I talk to someone about my account.

  @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.

  @virginmedia It’s on both WiFi and wired. At this present moment I’m unable to get ANY network from the router on both.

  @virginmedia TV completely down this morning ,it’s been intermittent since September nobody helps me just fobbed off. Who is the ombudsman over you I can complain to? I’m no longer prepared to keep paying for services I’m not getting.

  @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

  Dani Grim (@RefinedSavage) reported 42 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.

  Rob Chipman (@robchippyman) reported 43 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  @Tilton247 @virginmedia I had the same for 2 years. Constantly disconnecting on a daily basis . Changed the Hub and it worked straight away. No issues since. Good luck getting a new hub off them though.

  @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

  @virginmedia how do you check the mobile phone signal in your area? I’ve had nine for a few days

• 
  Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported 57 minutes ago from Solihull, England

  @virginmedia 2/ Despite that issue being due to a junction connection in the cabinet in the street, the op seems to refuse to look at that and just wants to reboot my router. Also claims it is due to my use of Modem Mode. Is there anyone in the UK I can contact regarding this?

  Andy (@sadelta99) reported 2 minutes ago

  @virginmedia well done - you fix the issue then it’s broken again so back to no services again and of course your lines are closed so no way of calling

• 
  KSP (@Yespleaseroux) reported 5 minutes ago

  @virginmedia is utterly ****. As soon as I can ditch it I will and go back to Sky. Such rubbish service all round.

• 
  Bob (@PINPOINT69) reported 5 minutes ago

  @virginmedia @AlanBM91 I am getting bombarded with emails saying someone is trying to log in to my @virginmedia account every day from multiple locations, I have 2 factor authentication on so it can't happen but can't help feeling there has been some sort of breach?

• 
  Jess Stocks (@jrstocks89) reported 10 minutes ago

  @virginmedia still no response. I’m paying a lot of money to access Sky Sports red button on my TV but still another 8 days to apparently fix it All the sport I want to watch is again on the red button this weekend

  APTS Archive (@APTSArchive) reported 12 minutes ago

  @virginmedia we notified you in early July that we would be moving on 31st. You deemed our new address as unserviceable & therefore there would be no early termination fee & to return the kit to you. I have made in excess of 10 phone calls with your moving home team - amount to several hours getting contradictory information every time I've phoned, depending on who I spoke with. On Wednesday you took £1,070 from our bank account, causing us to become overdrawn, despite assurances from your moving home team that there was an extension on our account in order to give us time to return the kit, & no early termination fee would be charged. The kit was returned to you on Wednesday morning. Upon phoning yesterday (yet again), I was dealt with someone that might as well have been a robot, he's inability to listen & constant repeating set phrases over & over again was of little help & particularly annoying. You have made the issue of moving home particularly difficult and stressful, which for a company of your size I find inexcusable. I emailed your moving home team on Tuesday & yesterday yet have still not received a reply, despite being told in a phone call my email would be dealt with as a matter or urgency! I'm resorting to public exposure in the vain hope there will be some action & you will expedite this matter.

  Virgin Media TV completely down, any updates? @virginmedia

  Kris (@KrisTaylor1992) reported 31 minutes ago

  @ryantegan @skytv Cancel, then sign up in your partners name as a new customer. I do this with Virgin Media. I went from £58 to £28 and kept me as a customer. Best case retentions will offer you a better deal, worst case your partner gets new customer discounts.

  youwouldntknowme (@lazylazydude) reported 33 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I don’t think you get it. When I say multiple calls, I mean daily. I’ve told your customer service not to contact me. They said they’d make a note and wouldn’t, then called the next day anyway. Worst company I’ve ever had the misfortune to deal with.
