    Hey, ‘RP,’ again, @virginmedia is down. The lack of resilience is shocking and embarrassing for a major broadband provider. #VirginMediaDown #VirginMedia

  • BrianMCape
    Brian Cape (@BrianMCape) reported from West Bromwich, England

    Quite possibly the worst onboarding and customer 'care' experience I've EVER had @virginmedia Unfulfilled promises, failure to deliver contract as agreed and now I'm 'lost' in the system and being ignored. I'm left with no choice other than to 'out' you. #CaveatEmptor

    @Tilton247 @virginmedia I had the same for 2 years. Constantly disconnecting on a daily basis . Changed the Hub and it worked straight away. No issues since. Good luck getting a new hub off them though.

    @virginmedia any chance of an update regarding the outage in my local area regarding internet connection? It’s been down 2 days straight!

  • KittykatClaire
    Claire B🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛ (@KittykatClaire) reported from Willenhall, England

    I'm so pissed off @virginmedia blackmailed me into signing my mobile contract with @O2 by saying my media account would be cheaper. If I stayed with virgin it would be amount more. So I had no option but to go with o2 and No my mobile Internet is crap. I can't use my doorbell

  • iamscorchy
    iamscorchy (@iamscorchy) reported from Wednesfield, England

    @virginmedia Experiencing issues in your area there is a technician in the area but still doesn't explain why my routers fans go really loud and disconnected from everything I have to keep resetting to get it back to normal then on top get "issues in my area" like always

    @virginmedia I called cust serv today after logging complaint on 26th Nov and hearing nothing back. cust serv asked me to request my data and voice calls. listen to it myself and then send proof of being missold a contract/virgin error, so virgin can then resolve the matter and complaint

  • NickHickey84
    Trickie Dickie (@NickHickey84) reported from Bradmore, England

    @virginmedia a customer of yours for years. Had a cpi increase letter to say leave with out penalty. Competitor massively cheaper than you for faster speeds. Only to be told by a colleague I have to pay £110 to leave today?

  • chrispsaras
    Chris Psaras (@chrispsaras) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia no broadband since yesterday afternoon, told engineers were on route but still no update. Your offshore call centre is also unhelpful and not able to offer any further information. Please can you help?

  • nealesj
    Simon Neale (@nealesj) reported from Swindon, England

    It looks like @virginmedia name servers are not accessible so no DNS records can be resolved. A major outage for their services. Seems to be no comms from them. @BBCNews are you aware? #VirginMediaDown #VirginMedia

  • jfrncs_
    John (@jfrncs_) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I have now tried unsuccessfully for 12 hours to use the WhatsApp service as again it goes around in circles if I am not immediately available. The number you helpfully provided hangs up after sending a link… please advise how I talk to someone about my account.

  • redron1975
    Ronnie Harris (@redron1975) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @virginmedia Right then fools. How many times do I need to contact you to tell you how bad our internet is? I am so fed up with this service and wouldn't recommend you to my worst enemy. I cant wait to get service from someone reliable. Clowns

  • beffycuk
    𝚋𝚎𝚝𝚑 (@beffycuk) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia Yes, and every-time it says no issue, when there clearly is! It interferes with everything, the hive, the tv everything! Really considering going elsewhere.

  • BeardPunk

    @virginmedia any updates on the VPN issue?

    Fed up of these “intermittent” problems with my @virginmedia broadband.

  • ________Danny
    Satish Danny Paul (@________Danny) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia i logged another complaint 1 to 2 weeks prior and heard nothing back. i was advised by cust service a month ago not to log a formal complaint and log an internal complaint instead

  • stumccullagh
    Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Swindon, England

    @virginmedia No , when I last spoke to someone on the phone the issue was still happening , it doesn’t happen as much now but still happens at least once a day

    @virginmedia business installation, been given 6 dates since 17th January. 4 no show or wrong booked, 2 attendance but not equipped to extend installation from 1sf floor to 2nd. even billed for a service which is not even installed yet. Nightmare #virginmedia #broadband

    Is @virginmedia in trouble?, as im trying to work out why i need 2 to 3 sales calls a day. I get a rubbish email once a week. Why not email something i might be interested in rather than constant phone calls im sure i never consented too.

  • Javier_Cold_
    Mr. Cold (@Javier_Cold_) reported

    @Ofcom @virginmedia sucks. 2 hours going in circles to cancel my package. They get away with it by exhausting you, going around and around, stalling the conversation until you say yes.

  • Rusty_Barnacle
    Dave #oafc (@Rusty_Barnacle) reported

    @SilvesterLuke @virginmedia Stop pestering me jesus that's about ten messages.. I cant ******* fix it

  • MagicalMo

    @virginmedia I have done. Looking forward to a resolution.

  • DebbieJRudd
    Debbie Rudd (@DebbieJRudd) reported

    @Jennababes @virginmedia My phone contract was wth 02 then obv merged with Virgin and the customer service is crap! I can’t even get on my account to see usage etc. The man in 02 said we know it’s an issue, I can look and tell you your usage, no, sort your ******* website out so I can see it myself 😡

  • mikey_mol
    Mikey Molfessis (@mikey_mol) reported

    @virginmedia And you make it difficult to log a ticket. I called I. And your consultants say “we are aware of an issue” and leave it at that @Ofcom

  • sophm108
    Sophie (@sophm108) reported

    @virginmedia - recordings on my TV hasnt worked for 2 days now. Ive tried restarting , checking connection etc but still having issues. Once again paying for a service that im not receiving

  • chriscj1065
    christopher john (@chriscj1065) reported

    @virginmedia Could you please send me details to who i should log a complaint.

  • viewfromhk
    Robby Yung ⦿⦿⦿ (@viewfromhk) reported

    @0xsachi I think "moat" is just a polite way of saying monopoly. First mover advantage builds a brand and customer stickiness, and I think this should be the goal, personally. But all these anti-competitive practices like making cancelling services ridiculously hard (hello @virginmedia ) or walling the garden once you get enough users (hello @facebook Open Graph) should be cracked down on, in my opinion.

  • mikey_mol
    Mikey Molfessis (@mikey_mol) reported

    @virginmedia You close a call and open a new one without resolution. That’s how you avoid @Ofcom ratings
