    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

    Dr Andreas Krieg (@andreas_krieg) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia It still comes and goes. Absolutely unreliable to work from home when I get kicked out of conference calls because the broadband is down. This is very poor after almost 12 hours! #WorkFromHome

    Wolé Adesemoye (@WoleAdesemoye) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia My previous landline telephone number was meant to be ported over and this never got done. I’ve never been able to receive incoming calls on my landline. Internet is very intermittent. My experience with your customer service hasn’t been great. All along I’ve been paying in full.

    Hey @virginmedia ... my WiFi has been down for over an hour now. Unable to WFH without working WiFi. Help.

    @virginmedia I’m not a VM customer, I just want to buy a WiFi pass as my carrier’s login methods have changed and I can no longer log in automatically

  • Anthony_Lonres
    Anthony Payne (@Anthony_Lonres) reported from Kensington, England

    To all my friends who recommended @virginmedia please don’t contact me again. They are without doubt the worst company I have had the misfortune of being a customer to. If you’re considering them. Don’t.

    @vmbusiness I am trying to close my account for a few weeks! You are trying to send me late payment charges! Please help Twitter team #badservice

  • WoleAdesemoye
    Wolé Adesemoye (@WoleAdesemoye) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia is by far the worst TV, broadband and telephone service I’ve received in 20. Customer service is appalling. I was just on the phone and the customer service personal just hung up on me. I just can’t wait to leave and go back to @SkyUK. #avoid #virginmedia

  • GaborPfalzer
    Gabor (@GaborPfalzer) reported from Kensington, England

    @Mike_Randazzo1 @virginmedia Oh, they did let me cancel, but I had to answer about 3 “last question”s before they proceeded 5 minute response time on chat, took me nearly two hours, after the 4 hours it took to connect an agent. We could get a contract with a credit check in 5 minutes.

  • faysasilva
    Elizabeth Silva (@faysasilva) reported from Kensington, England

    @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

  • MissMikaSimmons
    MIKA SIMMONS (@MissMikaSimmons) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia Yes the TV is down in my area. The wifi is fine. I have known this for days and no one at Virgin media picks up a call or returns the text. I’d like to cancel my account

    @virginmedia can someone contact me please. Problems with my home internet seems to be becoming a more regular occurrence. Tried your call centre but it’s now closed!

  • lugazafc
    Gary Jackson (@lugazafc) reported

    The amount of times by broadband has gone down or dropped out from @virginmedia recently is shocking! Thankfully my renewal date is coming up as it won’t be a renew this time after being a customer for a majority of my bill paying life!

    @virginmedia is the website down?

  • daithigor
    Daithi (@daithigor) reported

    I used to be able to cancel Virgin Media over email. I have the emails to prove it. The last time I tried to cancel over email I was told they "changed the system" and had to ring to cancel.

  • ThingsByNik
    Nik (@ThingsByNik) reported

    One of many reasons I would never go back to Virgin Media, no matter how much of a “good deal” they are offering. Awful company.

    Ryan (@Inevry109) reported

    @ZiaYusufUK Virgin Media knocked on my door asking if I wanted to change my provider. I asked them to leave. Then I got a delivery leaflet for the local takeaway through the letterbox. I've never felt more harassed in my life.

  • ainm_gan5505
    GanAinm (@ainm_gan5505) reported

    @MartinSLewis Virgin Media is not actually Virgin, it’s a ****** American company called Liberty with a license to use the Virgin Media branding. The real Virgin company should take the license off them for driving the name through the ****.

    @VirginMediaNews Locals, Virgin Media are an enemy to the Indigenous population, Look at the wording, a BRIT media company doing this, Cromwell looking down laughing.

    .@virginmedia So 2 days with no TV, no broadband, no landline and an @o2 mobile with no signal. A fix date of 15th July!!!? Zero means of communication. Totally unreliable. What a dreadful company you are. So pleased you got fined. When will this be fixed?

    @Ofcom Good! It's the sneaky snaky foreign (South Asian) call handlers. It's bad enough they can hardly speak English. @virginmedia
