We’ve been trying to contact my Uncle for a few days on his landline and it’s going direct to the message service. We’re getting quite worried about him and wondered if it’s possible to see if there’s a fault on the line?

Stuart Kearney (@skearney7) reported from Basingstoke, England@virginmedia Not really. I have made arrangements to bring my account up to date and close it as I am a responsible person. However as a result of the U Switch service not working. I have paid you £150 extra for a service that I have not used. So from my point of view I am very frustrated

Jon Bond (@JobbyOvy) reported from Basingstoke, EnglandPhoned @virginmedia tonight to cancel, as my price was going to £74 from £55 a month. Best they could offer was £60 a month even though as a new customer it is currently £50 a month! I was told if they offered their current customers those prices, they’d go out of business...

Di (@defendingdd) reported@skytv 24 hours for a Manager call back you piss taking idiots. Don’t ever use Sky anyone. 19 years I’ve been with them and they are treating me like ****. Time to go to.@virginmedia

Sam Greenland (@SprocketEtQuill) reported@virginmedia Another Virgin Media engineer came out again to bury the cable from house to street. The cable is now in trunking over ground and the internet service was severed. You have said it will take yet another on-site engineer to fix the connection and left me without a connection for the week - until an engineer is available. You have, however, paid £100 towards the cost of the alternative internet provider. Your logic was £30 for data (on a #GiffGaff SIM card which I chose) and £70 for a dongle. I bought a £120 4G modem for external use that connects directly to my #Unifi switch on WAN2, bypassing your hub altogether and giving a connection back to my whole house rather than just one computer with a USB port. Given it's taken since November to bury this cable, I'm not convinced tomorrow's engineer will be able to fix the connection or bury the cable. We will see how the day unfolds. Your contact centre staff all aim to be very helpful, and your service (when it's working) does provide a decent connection most of the time, but your implementation is lacking.

Teddy (@ChokeLever) reported@giffgaff Tbh I didn’t chose @virginmedia because their reviews are poor. I should’ve known better as it was still their engineer who failed to show up. #Frustrating, but for #giffgaff not to have any means of rectifying the issue is unacceptable. I am being penalised as a result.

Dan (@UKDan86) reported@loldiplo @virginmedia Every time you reply, it just further confirms that you truly are stupid. I don't talk to stupid people.
-
iWalkOutdoors (@iWalkOutdoors) reported@jollyjapes Zero. Never have in the full 15yrs of trading. Don’t know how much a van costs? You think there’s enough left for dividends? Perhaps you’re mistaking me & my biz for a CEO of BP or a regional manager of VirginMedia. I bloomin live on a housing estate with other working ppl.
-
Kevin Clark (@kevinclarknw) reported@virginmedia Yes. There are now TWO issues, one of which is not expected to be fixed until Wednesday. Ssevice has been out since Friday.

i aint know **** bout crypto (@SirazBhaii) reported@DenniGlaves @pokemondealsuk This is 100% the issue. Ive tested it. I recently switched WiFi providers from Virgin Media to Grain Connect which is 1 of the newer FTTP providers that have been rolling out true fibre across the UK. Now im getting this message everytime.
-
Asif Rana (@HounslowParking) reported@bt_uk I'd like to know why your business broadband so called service, can only compound its utter uselessness with skyscraper level brain numbing stupidity? I thought @vmbusiness was utterly indescribably ****, until you came along. You literally make them look like geniuses.
-
Diplo (@loldiplo) reported. @virginmedia can you explain why your servers are down again. It’s pathetic constantly happening and conveniently falls on a bank holiday weekend so most of your customers will be without service for 2 days. Disgrace of a company.
