  @Cplcash @virginmedia Problem is other providers are so slow at installing fibre cables that most have no choice but to go with VM

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

  @virginmedia Hi, I’m getting around 80mpbs now, should be 350 though, when I try and test it says there’s a problem in the area, but no further information

  Trickie Dickie (@NickHickey84) reported 22 minutes ago from Bradmore, England

  @virginmedia a customer of yours for years. Had a cpi increase letter to say leave with out penalty. Competitor massively cheaper than you for faster speeds. Only to be told by a colleague I have to pay £110 to leave today?

  @virginmedia hey. I am trying to speak to someone about my account but turns out nobody recognises my account number. Can you PM me to organise calling me please. I've tried the text message service

  @virginmedia Async live chat (WhatsApp) sucks as you let me text you with a problem, let it sit for hours, then close it down if I don’t reply within 5 mins and repeat. I’ll just ignore all the comms.

  Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported 33 minutes ago from Sheldon, England

  @virginmedia I don’t think so I’m still getting distorted TV on a few channels it’s frustrating as my complaint never gets recified I’ve spent hours on end trying to get it sorted

• 
  Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported 33 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  @virginmedia The TV goes all distorted I’ve done webchats phone calls the lot nothing has been resolved was told it was a problem in the area , neighbours have had no issues happened still have issues now but not as often but it’s a bit annoying esp when I’ve not had any money off

  Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported 37 minutes ago from Solihull, England

  @IanMurphy111 @virginmedia I am mate awful service

• 
  Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported 39 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  Once again the Internet Orovider that claims to be the best @virginmedia, has an outage. I bet all my savings there would be significant kick back if the directors didn’t get paid, because the Lady dealing with their account cannot get online. Time has come for change #cancelVM

  @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.

  @virginmedia i logged another complaint 1 to 2 weeks prior and heard nothing back. i was advised by cust service a month ago not to log a formal complaint and log an internal complaint instead

  @virginmedia red button not working again!! @skytv, does yours work? #FedUp missing baggies after my shift 😪

• 
  Scott badham (@scbadham) reported 55 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

• 
  Simon Neale (@nealesj) reported 57 minutes ago from Swindon, England

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

  I need a lawyer or a support group to help me file a complaint against Virgin @virginmedia regarding issues with their internet service.

• 
  Unainstein (@AstonVillaDoge) reported 9 minutes ago

  So done with @virginmedia, live chat is useless, offer you absolutely terrible deals 'Your renewal offer will be £15 a month more than you currently pay, despite above inflation cost increases every April and you will receive nothing extra in return. This is our biggest discount'

• 
  Declan Carty (@declancarty) reported 10 minutes ago

  @IrishTimes Perhaps someone like the excellent Patrick Freyne might investigate why, after all these YEARS, Sky subscribers in the ROI cannot get ITV channels, whilst Virgin Media customers have no probs in doing so. Is it still supposed to be a ‘rights’ issue ????

• 
  M-O-O-N (@Borgle1) reported 11 minutes ago

  @caz_fizz @MelJanie @virginmedia Virgin are terrible now. Since the Welsh and North East staff were laid off. The overseas workers are untrained and promise the earth but deliver nothing and cause hours of phone calls for issues that could and should be solved in 3 minutes.

• 
  ArtVandaley (@dothefunkgibbon) reported 14 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Instead of silly twitter replies , when you know there is a big outage why don't you publish it on the website ? Have a message on the phone line also , would solve a lot of problems . Your phone lines were overwhelmed yet that could have been prevented .

  andy spinoza (@andyspin) reported 14 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Hi we’ve been plagued by problems since you introduced the new box /software. Now it’s not showing ANY Tv! Totally shocking service. been waiting for 40 mins on the phone line. Your diagnostics show no issues but we have NO Tv- our lives taken over rebooting. Rubbish

  Edward Clements (@eddie10oo) reported 16 minutes ago

  @daviesa02 @virginmedia Avoid Virgin at all costs, their customer service is horrific.

• 
  Bobby Bucks (@b0bbybux) reported 17 minutes ago

  @SBarrettBar @tescomobile Interesting, our fibre was down recently (Virgin Media, avoid like the plague) and our Tesco Mobile data coverage was absolutely terrible. If it haven’t been for my neighbour giving me access to his network, I would have been screwed. And we were down for a bloody week 🤬💩

  @virginmedia do you have any issues in WA9? My internet has gone down 😡

  Pure Hearted Human (@Graelwyn) reported 18 minutes ago

  @Ang_Jones72 It doesn't matter much now. As I intend to take my life as what virgin media don't know. Is that my mother and father abused me most of my life. And maybe since I never got her unconditional love as she loved only through money. I wanted to use the only thing she gives me now. Since she wouldn't call virgin to explain. As she cares more about my brother's partner's mother having cancer. Than that I may have cancer. So virgin media get their payments. And I have finally given up. That is all.
