  johnsonhomes (@johnsonhomes2) reported 4 minutes ago from Sale, England

  @virginmedia The guy I spoke to at VM yesterday said that she wouldn’t be eligible for a “disabled” phone line to be installed because it wasn’t claimed when they dug the front garden up 18 months ago. We were never given this as an option at the time, if we had we would have insisted on it.

  @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!)

  Richard Ashton 💙🇺🇦 (@Rik_Ashton) reported 26 minutes ago from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

  @SkyUK My Sky package is slowly edging up. Some new customer deals from a couple of years ago have worsened discounts but... I'm still around £30 a month better off than when I was with Virgin Media. Never going back.

  @virginmedia I have numerous emails of my complaint , all of them paying lip service so to speak .

  Hi @virginmedia is there a particular reason your engineers phone to say they are here but never actually turn up?

• 
  officially Gaynor Austin 💙 (@birdflu_7) reported 36 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.

  UtilitaRian 🔶 (@SoloUtilitaRian) reported 36 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

  Kerry Louise (@KerryKez7) reported 38 minutes ago from Urmston, England

  Don’t ever get Virgin Media internet/WIFI it’s SO garbage & keeps going off especially when your watching something WTF & apparently it’s the most up to date & according to them it’s the best NO it’s not plus it’s expensive for being SO c**p 🤬💷😤

  Ah @virginmedia with this up and down service today you are really spoiling us!

  GreenWasBlue (@GreenwasBlue) reported 42 minutes ago from Bolton, England

  @virginmedia I've tried the online help to no avail.Just going round in circles. How do I get to book a visit by a human being?? 😡

• 
  Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported 43 minutes ago from Atherton, England

  @virginmedia See thread above, nothing changes except the time of the estimated fix. It must be very localised as not everyone in my area is affected. So if it is damaged cables, I haven’t seen anyone out repairing them over the weekend, it’s a joke

• 
  Weirdly even older fan (@Karamonkey1) reported 50 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

  Smyth Harper 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇺🇦☘️ (@sharper76) reported 51 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

• 
  Adam Gardiner 💙 (@_AdamGardiner) reported 56 minutes ago from Sale, England

  @virginmedia I also don’t need to monitor the quality of my broadband, I already know it’s awful. I don’t understand how that would help.

  @virginmedia Not as yet. Just that my postcode seems to be affected when checking service status

  Chezza O (@LonelyLondoner) reported 3 minutes ago

  @virginmedia 1. Router just loses network every few hours. So I come back from work and have to turn the router off and on. What an upgrade!!!! 2. Reconnecting takes 5 minutes which in itself is a nightmare stealing my joy. This was not the exciting upgrade Inexpected

  ... - ..- 𝚂𝚝𝚞 (@_Alfista) reported 4 minutes ago

  @ArrEssVeeTwin @jen_moxon @virginmedia many years ago at previous address I had to take annual leave to call Virgin customer services during UK office hours, when I knew it was UK call centre answering, as the foreign one never logged a single call so had to start all over each time.

• 
  Simon (@cleggy1966) reported 10 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Eventually. Your customer services are a shambles. 2 appointments arbitrarily cancelled by you without any notification, and 4 phone calls, holding for a minimum of 20 minutes every time

• 
  Suzanne Cornyn (@cornynthecob) reported 11 minutes ago

  My Internet has been intermittent over the last 3 weeks. @virginmedia engineer was supposed to come out today but never turned up. Turns out he signed the job off as completed even tho he didn't turn up. Internet still going off and on.

• 
  Chezza O (@LonelyLondoner) reported 12 minutes ago

  @virginmedia if I had a dollar for every time I lost network. The router just goes off? What is this? I mean what is the point of this? Run me my refund please

• 
  Afterglo-Surrey (@AftergloSurrey) reported 16 minutes ago

  @virginmedia as normal another **** up from Virgin media how are they still doing business? Oh is it because they just take your money and don’t give a **** about service? Probably

• 
  Breeda Murphy (@breeda_murphy) reported 16 minutes ago

  @MariaPIreland @longlostfamily @virginmedia Yes Maria. Too many left this world never knowing a sense of belonging, There was no paper trail and DNA had not advanced to provide heritage. Even today it is difficult to gain answers and Government appear eager to ignore

• 
  Sam Tilston (@samtilston) reported 17 minutes ago

  This isn't just a bad press cycle for Virgin Media O2. We are tracking a specific pattern of synthetic 'outage' reports designed to trigger algorithmic short-selling and erode public trust in UK telecoms infrastructure during a sensitive regulatory window.

• 
  Shelton (@CBTwizard) reported 20 minutes ago

  @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia I was in a pretty similar boat, now they're chasing me for £500 early termination I was fed up with the poor reliability, then lost full connection, lost income (WFH), them pushing the fix dates over a month no service. Left to BRSK, never had an issue, far cheaper, far better.
