  @LennieThevan @virginmedia That sounds terrible Lennie. If you want to change a plan and save money they go out of their way to be unhelpful. However, if you want to spend more their customers service Is better.

  @virginmedia It works intermittently. When I speak to an advisor they fix the issue at that moment. Then, the next day it’ll cut out again and the process repeats. It was working when the engineer left, but it didn’t last 24 hours. Intermittent isn’t good enough. I rely on you for work.

  Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported 26 minutes ago from Atherton, England

  @virginmedia Could the problems in the area have caused damage to the equipment? As it was working fine before. Do I get compensation for all this time as the earliest appointment is Friday 14th?

• 
  Smyth Harper 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇺🇦☘️ (@sharper76) reported 30 minutes ago from Manchester, England

  @virginmedia In the orders and appointments section it says there are none. The text I have received confirming the appointment and threatening me with a £25 fine is different to the one offered to me by your customer services.

  @virginmedia can you confirm if there’s active engineer trying to rectify the service outage Manchester (M30). Widespread issues reported according to your service outage on website ?

  Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported 38 minutes ago from Westhoughton, England

  @virginmedia And our Internet is down again this morning! So because its intermittent we don't get compensation, tried to call, can't get through (have to do it on mobile, our 'landline' is now internet reliant!)

  @virginmedia Will do. That was your cue to step in and offer some ‘customer service’ btw.

• 
  Mark Armstrong (@mark001282) reported 39 minutes ago from Manchester, England

  @virginmedia I spoke to your customer service team on 2nd January who advised all issues had been resolved and my sim card was being sent out by royal mail delivery. Even with any postal delays out of your control it seems odd that it hasn't arrived.

• 
  officially Gaynor Austin 💙 (@birdflu_7) reported 46 minutes ago from Manchester, England

  @virginmedia If you want I can send pictures and ALL THE emails .I don't have the time to keep discussing the same situation with yet another virgin media support staff . My time is precious.

  CLAIRE GROVER 🐝 (@ClaireabelleRed) reported 48 minutes ago from Bury, England

  @virginmedia Thanks for updating I've had my 82 year old dad on the phone as he only has the main tv channels so I guess its the same issue as the pixalation issues. I'll let him know

• 
  Mark Armstrong (@mark001282) reported 48 minutes ago from Manchester, England

  @virginmedia Don't give me your copy and pasted waffle. You have done nothing to help. You have been an absolute thorn in my side! "I'm so sorry you feel this way" is such an outdated and terrible response from a marketing point of view btw.

  Skysports app with virginmedia login hasn't been working today so having to old school "watch" via live updates here. HORRIBLE way to sit thru that 8mins!!

  johnsonhomes (@johnsonhomes2) reported 50 minutes ago from Sale, England

  @virginmedia Her phone like works at the moment because she has power but not in a power cut. This is one of the issues set out in the email which VM requested I send on Wednesday

• 
  Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported 51 minutes ago from Westhoughton, England

  @virginmedia I seem to be the first one to report them, still saying intermittent problems in my area. Can't get to speak to anyone on phone, I rely on the Internet.

  (Test) Is anyone experiencing a virgin media Internet outage in M6?

• 
  Adam Gardiner 💙 (@_AdamGardiner) reported 57 minutes ago from Sale, England

  @virginmedia It’s everything connected via Wi-Fi. I don’t have the connect app. I check for service status on your website and it usually says there isn’t an issue, but that doesn’t reflect my service.

  @RETeacher11 @virginmedia Switch to CityFibre, if you can. I finally got rid of VM after 15 years of bullshit. Price increases, shocking customer service, appalling tech support. Been with CF for 2 years now. I don't even have a reason to contact them - rock-solid and reliable 24/7.

  Mr H (@silestanix) reported 10 minutes ago

  @O2 @virginmedia not a fan of doing this but o2, you guys have made a holiday in the USA as difficult as possible. After many conversations with advisors on the chat I STILL CANNOT Make calls back to the UK from here in the USA. I'm a volt customer but will rethink this...

  Máire 🇮🇪 (@mochara57) reported 20 minutes ago

  @griptmedia @Ireland2020 On Virgin Media’s Tonight Show, I watched the host squirm & desperately try to silence Ben Scallan the moment he had the audacity to mention beheadings, you know, actual brutal realities happening on our streets. Classic MSM playbook, when the truth crashes the narrative, just deflect, disrupt & desperately compare apples to oranges. State-funded media has never looked more fragile, pathetic & exposed. 🇮🇪

  @virginmedia Virgin media lies to its customers who request a hub 5 router., they will state that "its not compatible " or "only for 1gb customers only " this is both a lie even M100 customers have been given Hub 5 routers it is disgusting the lies that customer service tell
