  Smyth Harper 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇺🇦☘️ (@sharper76) reported 5 minutes ago from Manchester, England

  @virginmedia No it’s not, and it has now transpired that your customer services agent told me a direct lie that there was a fault in my area when there is not. Someone else has now booked an engineer to come out - next Wednesday. I can’t even have my heating on as that’s controlled vía wifi

  @virginmedia Well you find I'm cancelling my contract with yourselves, hope you go bust, your customer service team is a shambolic embarrasment. Loyalty works both ways.

  @virginmedia well the woeful service in Heywood continues after “fixing” the fault this morning which resulted in me being unable to work from home the network has dropped again this evening absolutely shocking service

  @virginmedia no internet available in Bolton - must be an outage as, although coverage is very poor, it isn’t usually this poor!!

  Simon Manning 🇪🇺 - SiManM20@mstdn.uk (@SiManM20) reported 14 minutes ago from Manchester, England

  @nrgloz @virginmedia Your paying 75% of what we are for 35% of the d/speed there. Neighbour has just switched to Brsk - it’s full #fttp so 1Gb both up/down rather than the 52Mb UL Virgin offer via DOCSIS. £40pm

  Weirdly even older fan (@Karamonkey1) reported 19 minutes ago from Manchester, England

  @virginmedia And the sum total of welcome texts I received during my 7 night stay in Jamaica was 189. I never moved from the same hotel. I often got 4-8 texts whilst sat at the same restaurant table or in my room. @virginmedia get your act together

  I have virgin media but they don’t have a Customer service that you can speak to. Or email I’ve had a problem for over a month since an engineer messed about in the box in the street. Picture on tv keeps pixilated.

  Josh B (@JoshuaBurns) reported 25 minutes ago from Manchester, England

  @virginmedia on my second week of being a first time customer with you and my connection has been down for nearly 10 hours now. What’s going on?

  Laura May (@Laura_May_Ness) reported 26 minutes ago from Manchester, England

  Hi @virginmedia I have just moved into a new apartment where Wi-Fi is included. I have registered as a resident and I have received a pre-contract email but no account number and I am unable to connect to the Internet. Can you help me set things up?

  Mark Armstrong (@mark001282) reported 32 minutes ago from Manchester, England

  @virginmedia As I say. I don't like publicly shaming a company that was once good. But your customer service is an absolute disgrace

• 
  Mark Armstrong (@mark001282) reported 36 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.

  Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported 36 minutes ago from Westhoughton, England

  @virginmedia 3 times in 3 weeks we are without internet! We are paying for a service we are not able to use! Are we going to be compensated for this?

• 
  Mike Chilton (@thechilledpanda) reported 38 minutes ago from Bramhall, England

  @virginmedia Unbelievable, you've sent me a dongle to connect a landline too the broadband on the 6th , so the phone line isnt going to work, though not much help on 150 as they abruptly cut you off. Website is also down.

• 
  Rachael Stafford (@rachaelstafford) reported 40 minutes ago from Salford, England

  @virginmedia shocking service from you today, I booked an engineer visit for my mum supposed to come today between 12-4 nobody came she’s since called and been told it was a phone call not a visit but still nobody had called. She’s now got to wait till Tuesday for a visit 😠

  @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.

  Chris Atkinson (@AckersStorm) reported 56 minutes ago from Middleton, England

  @virginmedia when will the broadband issues be fixed properly in my area?

• 
  Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported 59 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!)

  UtilitaRian 🔶 (@SoloUtilitaRian) reported 60 minutes ago from Bolton, England

  With the intro of new dedicated Gigabit lines in my street I can't wait to switch over and leave Virgin Media for good. 3x internet has gone down this week and I just called VM. The systems there are down and gotta call back in 3hrs..... useless

• 
  It’s Tuuitter Not X! (@ndmerc) reported 4 minutes ago

  @virginmedia my constantly fault landline is unavailable yet again. This must be the fourth or fifth time this has happened and you cannot arrange a fix online. What is the point of an online help facility that does not help? What is the address for a formal complaint?

• 
  Ricky Butcher (@rickybutcher_) reported 5 minutes ago

  @virginmedia 5 mins left in the match & forced to sit through 3x 20/30 second ads for Real Madrid Vs Bayern Munich. I promise you, whatever pennies you're gleaning from people tuning in late they are wildly offset by those who'll swear never to give you another penny otherwise.

• 
  Alloqui Strix (@AlloquiStrix) reported 7 minutes ago

  @virginmedia First thing this morning you said the outage in my area (22) would continue for another week,then another message saying it would be fixed today, and now a message saying it'll be a week again. Is there a playbook you guys are using to wind up its customers?

• 
  Clive (@clive503) reported 13 minutes ago

  @dvoradikal @virginmedia When I left this appalling company, I had so many calls I started calling them out for harassment! If they'd shown that much interest when I complained about intermittent broadband, I might have stayed! So glad I didn't thought! Better service, cheaper price!

  Bri Hammond (@big1481b) reported 18 minutes ago

  @virginmedia who can I talk to about the poor service you provide to your broadband customers? My contract ends in a month and I can’t wait to get rid!
