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

  @Ian66232919 @virginmedia @02 have been awful and the reception is non existent, especially any where near Villa Park. May as well not take my phone out.

  Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported 13 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

  Simon Neale (@nealesj) reported 21 minutes 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.

  @virginmedia any chance of an update regarding the outage in my local area regarding internet connection? It’s been down 2 days straight!

  @virginmedia I received my new 500+mps broadband only to get 6mps on my phone in my room. The Router is Terrible and cannot send the speed to devices via wifi. Not Good for anyone

  @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.

  Garry (@paragaz) reported 30 minutes ago from Streetly, England

  @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

  Howard Martin 🇺🇦🇪🇺 (@HJMKent) reported 41 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!

  @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.

  shanny C 🌹 (@_shannonC) reported 55 minutes ago from Solihull, England

  @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😤

  Lawrence Landray (@Glawsloz) reported 2 minutes ago

  So I now have to wait until Monday evening before @virginmedia will send an engineer out to sort our Hub4 issue. A weekend without the internet. So all our home devices and appliances that need internet connection are now unusable for weekend

  @virginmedia what's the problem and how long is the fix likely to take please? (LE8)

• 
  Chris Corney (@ChrisCorney1) reported 4 minutes ago

  @OliverGMcManus @katedodd3 @virginmedia It was a great day when I got these rip off merchants out of my life. If uou Google it you will see tgere are multiple mass complaints to Ofcom about obstacles they create to customers trying to switch away. Keep going and threaten a formal complaint.

  Gaz (@R111_Gaz) reported 5 minutes ago

  @palmertrees @Amy_90_x Well, yes, just like people pay for Sky et al. Point is, its normally an extra fee channel, but not this afternoon, any Virgin Media customer can have it.

  @j2l_971 Hi it's us from Virgin Media O2. We're sorry about ongoing issues that you're having with your account. If you like we can look into this however we would need to do this in a private chat because we would need more info.

• 
  Manoj Parmar (@MannyParmar) reported 9 minutes ago

  @virginmedia The lightning strike fried the virgin media router AND the life line system too. One of your engineers came out yesterday evening and provided a replacement router which fixed the problem. All the residents there will need replacements pls help them asap.

• 
  Spike Lawson (@SpikeLawson1) reported 12 minutes ago

  @virginmedia What is it with the total indifference shown by virgin media? Service is down and we get three different timescales to fix it! They have obviously forgotten that we customers pay for their company

  @virginmedia I don’t think you give a toss tbh in an age of working from home I had to hotspot and use my data to get through work the last 2 days ..texts from you to say it’s fixed then 10 mins later it’s down again ..I reckon in the 2 years of my current contract I’ve lost 20 days service
