  Dani Grim (@RefinedSavage) reported 2 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.

  And just like that my @virginmedia is off again, no internet whatsoever. Embarrassing service from them, very disappointed and frustrated.

  @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

  @virginmedia signed up for your new broadband and still waiting for the stuff to arrive. Apparently parcel is still at @YodelOnline main hub. This is the SECOND day I've cancelled things and waited for it to arrive as yet to no avail. WTF is going on!?! 🤬

  @virginmedia afternoon. I’ve been on hold for 25 mins and when I finally got through the line went dead after security questions. My mum has been without her TV service for over a week. Last night an engineer was due by 6 o’clock and never showed. Another text stating the 26th

  @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?

  Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported 48 minutes ago from Solihull, England

  @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 once again I have sent a DM as requested about my complaint with no response. Is this part of the ignoring customer correspondence scandal?

• 
  Charlotte Dimond (@charldimond) reported 9 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Hub box is stuck on a reboot cycle with ‘welcome’ ‘please wait’ and virgin media logo screen. Nothing is happening. I’ve rebooted several times for the past hour. Please can you advise? I cannot get through to the customer service via the phone.

  @virginmedia since you’ve merged with o2 there service has spoiled and causing me immense distress you didn’t read my dm

• 
  Dan Worley (@worleyyy) reported 19 minutes ago

  @virginmedia You clearly don't take it seriously enough. I've complained multiple times over the last year and because I haven't made a complaint twice in one month you won't do anything and force me to pay a £400 fee to exit my contract. Utter horrendous service!! Worst internet company ever

  Susan Fish 💙 (@Sushisu1) reported 24 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I have received through the post a new remote Virgin 360 control which I didn’t ask for or even want and since I received it my service has been terrible. Plus whereas Netflix was free with Virgin now I have to pay!! Money making to pay your fine? This is rubbish.
