    My war with virgin media is finally over. After three years I managed to get through to customer service really quickly and I also got offered a discount which means now my contract is at a reasonable price thank you for listening.@virginmedia #tenacitypays

  • kittykhajiit sam x (@kittykhajiit) reported

    @virginmedia @splaff2lol why have you replied to him and not me????? the service status checker doesn’t even work bc so many people are trying to use it

  • FusterJeanette Jeanette Fuster (@FusterJeanette) reported

    Yet again @virginmedia is down in my area. How can I work from home when this keeps happening? #frustrated #virginmediadown

  • anxiety_arcade ches (@anxiety_arcade) reported

    @naquada @virginmedia Central London, been patchy all morning and now totally down

  • ua124322 UA124322 (@ua124322) reported

    @virginmedia How do I go about claiming compensation for loss of service, looks like it’s going to be out for whole day till 1800. I’ve got exam coming up soon and I need internet to study.

  • GordonJMccabe Gordon McCabe (@GordonJMccabe) reported

    @virginmedia is there an issue with mobile phone signal in Dunkeld and Birnam? i have had none since 6pm yesterday but 5 miles down the road is fine. If so do we know when this will likely be resolved as 18 hours seems a long time

  • alexconsuelo Alexandra Bell (@alexconsuelo) reported

    @virginmedia Please stop claiming the outage is only in Reading. It's in at least London & Manchester as well, as you can see from any third party downage reporting tool. Also on here you're stating a fix by 3 but on your service page it's saying 9pm!! How do we work? Useless.

  • floramcdee Sharon Mc 💙 (@floramcdee) reported

    @virginmedia @O2 For the love of God, pls sort it out! No internet and no phone signal this morning to use as a Hotspot for work. Your own site isn't even working to show there's problems and had to find out via @downdetector - Really unacceptable! 😡

  • ua124322 UA124322 (@ua124322) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve just phoned the automated line above, ot says there are issues in my area affecting broadband and phone services

  • danieljongraham Daniel Graham (@danieljongraham) reported

    How @SkyUK can charge £81.50 for Signature, Broadband Unlimited (18mb down) and anytime calls is beyond me. @virginmedia you’re in my area but are you any good?
