@virginmedia Yes and I’m still in a queue waiting for a response. I really don’t understand how this is so difficult. I just want to cancel my contact for a service you’ve lied to me be about being able to supply.

@virginmedia I’ve phoned up twice to cancel and you sent me a £5 off voucher so that clearly hadn’t worked. No one has responded to my message either so that’s not looking great either

Hi @virginmedia really hard to work from home when the wifi keeps cutting out. We’ve not had a connection since 10.30 last night. Please help.

@virginmedia Nope. No one has contacted me again, which is pretty much what I expected. If you want to come and do the outside work and fit the cables you’re more than welcome to. But my Sky broadband is being installed Wednesday so and I’ve tried to cancel my contract 3 times now so I’m done

@virginmedia My WIFI is unbearable and affects my day of online meetings. I’ve done the usual troubleshooting and have your app too. Calling your support is useless and I can’t get through to a human. What do I need to do to resolve my issues? Message your CEO?

@virginmedia Yes. We have been without internet in the area since yesterday and sit nice yesterday you are saying you will get it fix in the next 4 hours. Just now, another text that we’ll have to wait till 8 o’clock. This a joke, honestly 😡

Dear @VirginMedia, are there problems in the GU14 area? Because the reliability of broadband here has been appalling since at least Thursday/Friday. You really need to sort it out, I have to WFH and my daughter needs to connect with her school.

@virginmedia Please can you help me to terminate my contract and service with you since it’s unbearable and unprofessional when I’m having work meetings to constantly get disconnected? It’s impossible to speak to a Virgin support human too so I’m left with no choice. Please help me on this.

Changed from sky broadband to @virginmedia seriously didn’t think it could be worse. How wrong I was. Utterly shocking broadband. Lost count of the number of times on the last 48 hours we’ve lost service.

@virginmedia I just want to cancel my contract. You are not a reliable company. You can’t even bother to speak with the customers that pay you.

@virginmedia The broadband dropping is the problem, but now your companies process of handling my concerns is far outweighing the issue. I'm tired of hear the word 'sorry', its meaningless if not acted upon.

@virginmedia Look I am so sorry cause you are just a social media person but also this is exactly the **** I just complained about, so why even bother replying. 😖

@virginmedia Thank you. This status line at least confirms there is a "Complex issue" Are there any estimates as to when this issue will be resolved? Its been going on for several days now.

@GINGER_ROCKET99 @virginmedia Nothing screams “Tory” quite like giving abuse to low paid workers. As the poor lad at virgin can’t say what he wants to in this situation, on his behalf “get a ******* grip you sad ****”

@virginmedia Sorry. Just back from holiday. Still no call. And slow broadband. Why can’t I talk to someone ??

@virginmedia That’s exactly what I did (see earlier tweet). Internet connection currently back up; have logged into router with 192.168.100.1. No equipment issues reported. My internal (smart home) network also works; only the connection to the internet does not (intermittently).

@eclutonn @virginmedia Thanks for letting me know. Given the conflicting information on the website I was beginning to think it must just be me. Are you still experiencing the issues?
