    Hi @virginmedia we are urgently awaiting a new cable to fix our WiFi and there's still no sign of it. I can't get thru to anyone on the phone current wait time is 3 hrs and last time you cut me off. Please can you advise?

  • twiddlemeister Dave/Давид 🇺🇦 (@twiddlemeister) reported from Cheadle Hulme, England

    @virginmedia Yes it’s an outage and not an issue with our modem, or else others wouldn’t be affected. I’m on your business line, and whilst I appreciate that might not be something you can look at directly, it’s clearly an issue that needs resolving for everybody.

  • howierice Howard Rice (@howierice) reported from Sale, England

    @O2 @virginmedia @Curlykidlife Hi Virgin Media. Have just moved my sim over to O2 and as an existing VM customer applied for my free Volt upgrade. O2 have doubled my mobile data and you have upgraded my broadband. However you have now almost doubled my monthly payment. VM customer service cannot help ?!

  • emmafc87 Emma Caulfield (@emmafc87) reported from Middleton, England

    @virginmedia been with you less than a week and our Internet has gone down more in that time than it has done the last 4 years with our previous provider!!!! If this carries on we will need to cancel 🤬

  • laurenpoche Lauren🥃🎓📖 (@laurenpoche) reported from Rochdale, England

    @virginmedia no TV or internet all day. Even my phone internet been playing up, hardly had that as I'm on 02, which you are partnered with. 10am tomorrow it says to be fixed now, no other updates on the issue or help. Very poor.

  • els_photographs Emma L Strawbridge 📷🍓🎮🏳️‍🌈 (@els_photographs) reported from Bury, England

  • GeoffEvansTutor Geoffrey Evans (@GeoffEvansTutor) reported from Bury, England

    Broadband DOWN two days last week then on for a day then OFF Today @virginmedia working from home on Monday in BL9- not good enough for what we pay!!!! #nothappy

  • MichaelAdamsUk Michael Adams (@MichaelAdamsUk) reported from Manchester, England

    @putasinghonit @virginmedia Reminds me of when Vodafone sold my mum an iPhone for me on the promise it had good coverage in our area and upon discovering the signal was appalling the guy on the other side of the phone said “well you won’t live in that house forever”. No I’m just going to move for 4G!

  • harness68 harness68 (@harness68) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia once again your connection speed is shockingly slow. Not sure why I pay for m600 lucky to get 50mb. To make things worse your chat never respondes and the phone is a joke. 25 years of taking my money and the service is getting worse. Think I will move to #BT
