  • PammyVegas21 Pamela Lavell (@PammyVegas21) reported from Warrington, England

    When you cancel a direct debit pending an overpayment query, an extortionate figure is taken by them, you get charged £7.50 for late payment, you are on hold for 45 minutes and then they say the direct debit wasn’t cancelled 👀NEVER CHOOSE VIRGIN @virginmedia @SCOAF_UK

  • giaxclarke gia clarke ⚡️⚡️ (@giaxclarke) reported from Liverpool, England

  • Davidrwkellett David Kellett BSc (@Davidrwkellett) reported

    @virginmedia Thursday at 10 would be best. Will i get a resolution this way? Im getting pretty fed up to be honest as a lot of customers are at the minute.

  • hockeypucky Katie (@hockeypucky) reported

    @virginmedia Apologies are all well & good, but it doesn't help when I'm trying to WFH. While VM is usually reliable and I don't have issues with CS, it's becoming harder to rely on a stable connection. It's a good job I have unlimited mobile data to hotspot!

  • princess_knicks princess knickers (@princess_knicks) reported

    @virginmedia you’re threatening to cut me off because my bill is late - but I tried and a) had no WiFi from you and b) your site was down. Call off your dogs

  • sdugoten SDU Goten (@sdugoten) reported

    @virginmedia Send this back to your senior 1. Get a night shift engineer team, even my company have night shift network engineer 2. Night shift CS should send out flash report on twitter at 1:30 to let ppl know it's down even no ETA 3. Use twitter to send hourly update status when it was down

  • gurncrop gurncrop (@gurncrop) reported

    @virginmedia It wasn't just Virgin. My standard recommendation is to follow @DowndetectorUK. You'll get alerts about all sorts of things you don't care about, but when they all start going down (like at 01:30 last night) then it's part of the Internet that's broken. Virgin was just 1 of many.

  • DougieWebster Dougie Webster (@DougieWebster) reported

    @virginmedia Hi Virgin, will you be automatically crediting all users for the down time?

  • Blueowlnut Suzanne Pegg (@Blueowlnut) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you, also what is the point of the emergency phone when it doesn't work when the Internet fails

  • WilsonJevelyn Dr Jan Evelyn-Wilson (@WilsonJevelyn) reported

    I was denied the pleasure of having my day ruined by #r4today as @virginmedia internet was down for the whole 3 hours. So much for the #bbc constantly telling us to use fancy wireless speakers! Not much use when there’s no internet access!

  • halobabeee Hazel (@halobabeee) reported

    @virginmedia Just not good enough - every month without fail we get one or two days where we lose service… why is there never any cumulative compensation?!

  • Chrissie430 Chris (@Chrissie430) reported

    @virginmedia Whats the latest nothing broadband issue guys?
