Now you say you will suspend my service because I underpaid? You took what you wanted!
-
Rob Chipman (@robchippyman) reported 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.

-
Casey Rain (aka S-Endz) (@CaseyRain) reported from Birmingham, EnglandCausing me to drop out of a work meeting once every 10 minutes. Oh, and Virgin tried to blame it on my hardware? Except... My neighbour is seeing the EXACT same thing. This wasn't happening before the outage. @virginmedia why am I paying you lots of money for a spotty connection?
-
Howard Martin 🇺🇦🇪🇺 (@HJMKent) reported 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!
-

🏴Simon Evans🏌️♂️ (@simonevans1973) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia b42 is shocking supposed to have 200meg the #ManUtd Vs #thfc is **** like streaming on a ZXSPECTRUM
-
Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia Think we need to call an engineer out anyways, before the outage I was only getting 600mbps max when my package is the 1Gig.
-
Frugalista (@frugalista1) reported from Dorridge, England@virginmedia Typical Virgin Media response. Passing me on. Not actually solving the problem. I will never come back to @virginmedia and will advise all my friends never to think of using you.
-
Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported from Dudley, England@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
-
Susan Johnson (@SusieWJr) reported from Swindon, England@virginmedia @ste1984r But YOU say 'intermittent' loss when it isn't. It's FULL loss of service. And to only compensate after 2 days is crazy.
-
Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Solihull, England@IanMurphy111 @virginmedia Been with them since Telewest I don’t know why I stay false promises poor service

🇬🇧 Rioja😺Chianti😽 Dracula🐱Chablis🌈 (@M1Rioja) reported@virginmedia (p2) He signed me up. Two days later I went into your O2 Store to cancel the phone part, took an hour, yet you still took £18.70 from my account and only refunded £17.40. I still haven't had a cancellation email for a broadband I did not take up. Fraudulent Underhand
-
kevan ramsdale (@KevanRamsdale) reported@Claim_Respond_V I appreciate Virgin Media complying with the EA2010 trying to dictate the terms you provide a service is both unlawful & arrogantly ignorantly rude #disabledhatecrime you can find my details through my account!
-
Kathryn Barrow (@kathrynbarrow) reported@virginmedia When will the broadband and TV issue be sorted in KT2?
-
SageAFK (@SageyAFK) reported@jammierooroo @steveomufc @SkyUK Virgin Media have down the same thing recently. Everyone’s under pressure to “hit a target”, to earn more money because the system is ******. We are failing fundamentally at all levels, and it’s ******* disgusting.

MoorInsightsStrategy (@MoorInsStrat) reported@googlecloud .@googlecloud GM Cloud Apps Karthik Narain unveiled the Agentic Data Cloud. "Reasoning without context is just a guess." $GOOGL 📌 Four foundational innovations: 1/ Knowledge Catalog, universal context engine, native BigQuery integration mapping tables into business logic 2/ Smart Storage extends context to unstructured data. Objects landing in Google Cloud Storage are instantly tagged, enriched, and agent-ready with zero manual data engineering 3/ Zero-copy access to Palantir, Salesforce, SAP, ServiceNow, Workday 4/ Data Agent Kit, Gemini-powered authoring in VS Code, Cloud Code, Gemini CLI, turning any IDE into a native data environment 🧑 Customer proof: Virgin Media O2 activating 20,000+ data assets through Knowledge Catalog to empower global product teams. This is the "systems of intelligence" to "systems of action" shift. Context is now a governed surface, not a pipeline problem.
