  @virginmedia Internet has been down again for the whole night. When I spoke to you about the recent last 6 times it’s been down you said there was no issue! Looks like whole of UK was down now yet our bills go UP & UP & UP! #virginmedia

  Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported 8 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

  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??

  Beard Punk (@BeardPunk) reported 12 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  @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.

  Susan Johnson (@SusieWJr) reported 19 minutes ago from Himley, England

  @virginmedia The status checker says intermittent signal in your area. It's disgusting with how much I pay for broadband.

  @virginmedia We had issuse with our service, and was told we would need new cables. We the new cables installed. They left cabels hanging in the garden which has since been removed. Our grass is ruined (I have photos) it looks like next doors cable are also under or grass????

  Ended up just reconnecting my TP Link router, it seems the problems were with my Hub 5 because everything seems to be working fine now. Not great @virginmedia

  @virginmedia Just called your offshore call centre regarding my internet connection. I’m having the same issues as I had when I got a £154 credit from you. /1

  @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.

  @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

  Satish Danny Paul (@________Danny) reported 45 minutes ago from West Bromwich, England

  @virginmedia I called cust serv today after logging complaint on 26th Nov and hearing nothing back. cust serv asked me to request my data and voice calls. listen to it myself and then send proof of being missold a contract/virgin error, so virgin can then resolve the matter and complaint

  @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.

  Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported 52 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  Fed up of these “intermittent” problems with my @virginmedia broadband.

• 
  Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported 53 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  @virginmedia Yes I’ve done that. My connection drops out for a minute or so every 30-60 mins. Hard to replicate. My account has notes regarding the reason why the credit was given last time. Ideally I don’t want to wait so long for the same issue to be fixed.

  @eerosupport hi. I have a Eero 6+. If I connect it to @virginmedia 1gbps service, will I get 1gbps?

  Jane Samuels (@janeamanda67) reported 9 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I have already done that multiple times and there is an issue in my area, which was confirmed by customer services, but taking 10 days to rectify it is not acceptable

  @EE your customer service imo now falls below even virgin media, 28th day of a complaint today so there is a dispute on the account, I'm currently on hold to some foreign country collections team, if the complaint is not escalated to exec team now I want a deadlock letter and

  @sharonmariahall @virginmedia I've never had a problem with them, consistent fast Internet, TV works fine. When I thought of leaving they gave me a reduced price all done through Whatsapp.

  @virginmedia My VM account has been locked out 'for security reasons' for over three weeks. I called the number given and was told it has been escalated to the techteam. Now three weeks on and I've heard nothing. Trying to chase on the phone but been on hold 25 mins. Help!

  @virginmedia without a doubt one of the worst companies to deal with, put your bills up to say services need improving and they get worse

  Alloqui Strix (@AlloquiStrix) reported 17 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Estimated times were given on Thursday as 17th to fix. Friday 10th at 8am it said 18.00 on that day. 20 mins later it said 17th again. You need to sort out the messaging. I'm burning through my mobile data as a result of your self inflicted outage (it was an upgrade I was told

  Gareth Lloyd (@El_Lloydie) reported 17 minutes ago

  Well, the customer service from @virginmedia these days is really quite remarkable. And that's not a compliment. Here's a thread... Informed them that I'm moving house, and they get it booked for Friday 3rd April. All good...

  Alloqui Strix (@AlloquiStrix) reported 17 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Perhaps, but not 1 day then 7 days between updates on the same day & within minutes. If this was a water outage for this length of time there would be water tankers delivering water to houses - why are you not providing us with mobile data during this extended SNAFU.
