  @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 Hi. The team have also said that the issue isn’t resolved though? Everything has been reset multiple times this morning and still the same issue.

  @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 41 minutes ago from Solihull, England

  @Ofcom can I complain about @virginmedia to yourselves? Had no TV service for nearly a month with no help.

  Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported 43 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  Mad that I pay £71 a month for 350mbps a month for @virginmedia for them to only supply me with 40mbps, internet is barely moving, can’t even load basic web pages on my MacBook or phone. Problems in the Birmingham area??

  @Damien_Clyburn @virginmedia They're appalling. I've had business version for 10 years. BT never miss a beat. Outstanding. Get rid of them.

  @virginmedia haha you mean the same forum where they didn’t answer me for days last time, and they didn’t resolve anything???? waste of time. they told me to check the speed and check for area issues. absolutely awful customer service when i’ve been complaining about this for WEEKS now.

  @Niknaklady1 @virginmedia Oh dear. That's what made me think the problem may not be virgin, if you've got signal on another set. Hope you get it sorted 👍

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

  It looks like @virginmedia name servers are not accessible so no DNS records can be resolved. A major outage for their services. Seems to be no comms from them. @BBCNews are you aware? #VirginMediaDown #VirginMedia

  @PitRucker99 @Starlink The UK is not that bad. Spain is much worse. People pay €49 / month for internet. The problem in the UK is lack of "physical options" but it is getting better: 1. Virgin Media (cable) 2. BT - Telephone lines - ADSL - Fiber optic 3. Three - 5G modem 4. Starlink

  @virginmedia is there an issue with broadband in Leixlip area today? Seems to be poor connectivity

• 
  Matt ⚡️ (@MattOfTheSouth) reported 13 minutes ago

  @virginmedia any reason why I can't get gig2 as a gig1 customer? Is it only available to new customers? Ridiculous if so. Postcode checker says it's available on my postcode if I was to order a new package?

  @nicolatallant Nicola...with your experience in investigative journalism you should be all over this! I have never heard of such widespread corruption. You know what should be done here. Do the right thing. Ask the questions.... Start with the Shilling report...or how about the fact there is NO PULSE RECORD for #MrP regarding the allegations and subsequent harrassment of #MrP. The enablement and cheek turning is disgusting. Do your job. @rtenews @virginmedia

  love this. all that capitalist guff about 'the consumer is king' it's just another lie. we are marks and the tories let us get shaken down by brands. glad to see those rats at @virginmedia held to account but they should be paying compensation too.
