    @virginmedia once again #epicfail no WiFi and after 20 mins on hold to speak to someone I’ve lost the will to live. What’s this **** hold music anyway? I want to cancel my service. You’re not the only game in town. See ya

    @AbzAaron @virginmedia Even better… if you don’t play along, nobody else will cancel it. You can’t even hang up on the sales pitch.

    Chris Green (@chrisgreen) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia You know full well that a broken drop cable (which you already know is the issue from the last time you unhelpfully responded) won’t be shown on your service status page. For crying out loud! Your cut-and-paste response is both disrespectful and of no use whatsoever! #epicfail

    Respect to the engineers @virginmedia Consistently maintaining such a complex network is a tough job, especially at a time of exceptional demand. Whingeing the instant something as advanced as an internet network goes wrong is such a self-regarding 1st World problem. Shame on us

    @virginmedia @GetYourAlexOn And spend another hour on the phone. This is totally unacceptable service.

    @virginmedia down yet again. Where's the refund for all the hours lost with no WiFi connection?

    Extremely disappointed with Virgin Media. Made a contract with them for internet for my business on the 09/09/21 and still NO INTERNET installed. Called customer service and they can’t help, call the order manger and they can’t help too. Who can Virgin? @virginmedia @Virgin

    Alessandro Ferrara (@iamAleFerrara) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia No, no one has ever used my email to login on your forums. In the meantime it’s DAY 6 with no Internet service, good job Virgin in supporting us fixing this 👍🏼

    @virginmedia I just got a direct message from you but i dont think it was you! Also no issues but the wifi wasnt working. Its back now will go again

  • markhayo
    MarcHayo (@markhayo) reported from Kensington, England

    Well done to the engineers @virginmedia for sorting out my internet in Earl’s Court (ahead of time as usual). I appreciate that people have genuine problems, but we need to keep a sense of proportion. Especially compared with brave Ukrainians who face far worse troubles than us.

    Mat Morrison (@mediaczar) reported from Paddington, England

    @OminousBagel @virginmedia Although I’m equally annoyed by their fault self-checking system … that requires you to be on the internet, on the same network you’re complaining is down…

  • Rashidfreed
    Rashid Iqbal ☔ (@Rashidfreed) reported from Kensington, England

    @Rhodri_H_Davies @virginmedia It's #virginontheridiculous that @virginmedia have had the same lame excuse for their 'temporary', nightmarish wait times on their 'helpline' for 12 months now Who else gets the dropped calls as soon as you mention a bad broadband connection? Were trying to #homeschool here!

  • Jo_The_Waiter
    CALUM GRAY (@Jo_The_Waiter) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @DJRustyEgan @virginmedia It’s not speed I have a problem with, it’s all my services are down.. no broadband, no tv, no home phone. Awful service

    @virginmedia The service status always says its fine but the Internet goes down at this time every single night. #virginmediadown

    @virginmedia I have not internet in my flat in EC1V9ET since Monday. No explanation no comment and after calling the Customer Service team every day for an update today I was told that I should not be working from home if I’m not a business.! So that’s just 👍 great. That’s why 1

    Alison Baddley (Ali) 🇬🇧 (@alibee2006) reported

    @TVKev Omg that's all we need. It's bad enough talking to a bot when you phone companies like Virgin Media. Sorry I didn't get that. My response whilst going nuts. Human please NOW! How the hell are the elderly and vulnerable supposed to cope with this?! Human receptionists NOT AI.

  • anandcheam
    Anand Gupta (@anandcheam) reported

    @virginmedia can you spend some money on customer care so they can answer calls / chats and LISTEN when they do ? You guys sent me 2016 router box when the agreement was to send the latest and now no one is licking up the phone, is that joke? @Ofcom British regulators need to penalise where it starts hurting the service company. Like they do in the USA, 100s of millions of pounds or billions. Not peanuts.

    DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS COMPANY, WORST COMPANY EVER. WILL CHANGE THINGS ON UR ACCOUNT WITHOUT CONSENT AND THEN ADD LATE FEES @virginmedia

    @teenarani @virginmedia Hopefully it gets back up and running ASAP. Went to go onto my laptop and couldn't connect to the Internet that's the only reason I new it was down otherwise I wouldn't have

    @virginmedia You have left my 86 year old dad without a phone or internet. He now has no way of contacting family , doctor , hospital or even emergency services if required. Your engineer attended, couldn’t fix it and left. Not good enough!!

  • gmkfyi
    Glenn Matthew (@gmkfyi) reported

    @virginmedia @O2 I can only assume the reason I’m getting an IDF-12B error is because I’m now using a Sky connection rather than a Virgin one. Same computer, no VPN… Trying to get into my O2 account btw… which support line do I contact?

    @virginmedia and @O2 are killing me. 14 hour shift and I get home and my WiFi isn't working and it's taken me 25 mins to send this tweet cos o2s network is shite
