  Mark Smith (@markccfc70) reported 8 minutes ago from Cwmbran Central, Wales

  Been with @virginmedia back as far as old NTL days. Downgrade our package for the first time ever to keep costs down, and the Internet must have crashed at least 8 times today, the day after we changed. Absolutely useless, on the phone tomorrow to cancel this **** completely.

  @virginmedia I'm now waiting on a call from the retentions department (I missed one earlier)! I know exactly what they will say because I've spoken to them on a number of occasions...they will offer me a new contract & raise a complaint about the messing about you've given me!!!

  Pauline Lomax (@RedhillsAnnie) reported 14 minutes ago from Cardiff, Wales

  @virginmedia Now I have a problem with the DNS not working. Called 150 and ended up with a text with a link to where I started. Really, really frustrating. Please help.

• 
  Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported 15 minutes ago from Cardiff, Wales

  @virginmedia Yep. Just been on hold for 1 hour 3 minutes and as soon as I got through it cut off. Sent multiple follow up WhatsApp messages and still nothing. You really need to sort out your customer service because I’ve been waiting 3 weeks just to get back into contact with someone!!!

  Pauline Lomax (@RedhillsAnnie) reported 17 minutes ago from Cardiff, Wales

  Right Direction (@BackOnTrack__) reported 27 minutes ago from Cardiff, Wales

  @virginmedia you absolutely SUCK! Sick to death of the poor service you are providing. No TV at all and having to wait 3 days fir a technician and yet you will still charge us, I’m FUMING!

• 
  Gill Harrison (@gillih) reported 31 minutes ago from Portishead and North Weston, England

  @virginmedia John I have done all that already. And it’s not worked. I have spoken with my IT support and they confirm this is a problem with your servers. How are you proposing to sort this out for me please?? I’m paying for a service @virginmedia is not providing.

  Behnaz (@behnazakhgar) reported 33 minutes ago from Cardiff, Wales

  @virginmedia I am trying to terminate the account. Its for my dad's house and need it done before the 3rd of March.

  MaartenX. (@MaartenSleeckx) reported 44 minutes ago from Victoria, Wales

  @virginmedia Clearly not as the issue keeps coming back after multiple engineer fixes outside AND in my home. You're lying through your teeth and leaving me in the dark literally. Stop hiding behind "standard business" replies, be human and help me.

  Gareth Thompson (@gareth_thmpsn) reported 50 minutes ago from Cardiff, Wales

  @virginmedia Your company is awful. I’ve called today waited 10min to the worst hold music only to be cut off. Call back to be told your closed now then state you are open between 9-6. Why are you deliberately obstructive?

• 
  Jacob (@j_bettany) reported 51 minutes ago from Clevedon, England

  So many scammers calling from '@VirginMedia Technical Support' at the moment. 5 in 24 hours. I've taken to suggesting they might think about getting a different job but heartbreaking to get the response, 'can you give me one?' It's basically #organisedcrime built on #poverty

• 
  Sam Tempest (@SATempest) reported 53 minutes ago from Cardiff, Wales

  @virginmedia calling takes too long, always on hold for over an hour, and they never deal with the problem, the person on WhatsApp actually dealt with it which is why I was wanting to carry on using WhatsApp?!

  @virginmedia @Dionne96310374 We weren’t offered that when ours went down

• 
  andy lanyon (@andylance1977) reported 59 minutes ago from Newport, Wales

  @virginmedia is it normal practice when a call is made to you about problems with the tivo box (3rd time this year) that you're then on a call for over an hr at at the end of it promised an upgrade, go thro all the protocols only to be told actually you can't have that

  Sam Ed (@iam_samedoho) reported 12 minutes ago

  @OgaHans MTN is one of the biggest network operators in Nigeria. EE, Virgin Media O2, Vodafone, and Three are the major network operators in the UK. EE coverage is very good because BT owns and operates it using its existing infrastructure. Most of the smaller network operators are resellers. They bulk-buy wholesale - network minutes, texts, and data at a heavily discounted rate from (like EE, VMO2, or VodafoneThree) and resell it to people. Their coverage isn't good because they are limited. They are only competitive on price, not on coverage.

• 
  Paz DLXV (@paz565) reported 15 minutes ago

  @O2 The whole 'customer service' provided by O2 in relation to this matter has been nothing short of appalling. As O2 is now associated with Virgin Media, I will be taking the earliest opportunity available to switch the services I have with them too.

  STEPHEN (@stevied151181) reported 15 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I've just had a lovely chat with Kameer to renew my contract. He was polite, friendly and helpful. Please make sure he's praised for his customer service. 5🌟

• 
  Claire Wright (@CLAAccess) reported 15 minutes ago

  @O2 & @virginmedia making it as difficult as possible to settle the final bill on an account I have cancelled. App doesn't give me the option to pay. Calls go straight through to their Indian call centre. Absolutely appalling service from the worst phone company in the universe!

  @virginmedia Having **** with world cup coverage france and senegal poor picture quality. Pixelating and stammering ..

  aldo (@ukaldo2) reported 19 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I’m completely disgusted. You hounded my 80-year-old mother with repeated calls until she cancelled her existing contract,only to then refuse to provide the new service. Why were no checks done upfront? You’ve now left her with no contract. Completely unacceptable.

  @SpadgingtonBear @virginmedia I’m now being told its a fault with my router and there is no area outage, jokers. Saying I need an engineer

  Some-Nick1976 (@Some_Nick1976) reported 25 minutes ago

  @virginmedia The issue is that it drops in and out constantly throughout these times. When it does eventually come back on it is very slow
