    @onioncityblues @Arlandria_II Easy tiger! We would never do that!!! But the virgin media t**t who decided to overtake us whilst my arm was up to turn right would do well with a little stay behind bars.

  • wydgeorgia_ georgia (@wydgeorgia_) reported from Manchester, England

    Virgin media I have research to do now isn’t the time for your broadband to be broken down I am a third year uni student x

  • Orko77 Jenny (@Orko77) reported from Manchester, England

    So glad my backup unlimited @giffgaff data has expired just in time for @virginmedia to go down. Sod's law. #FirstWorldProblems

  • SteMorris Stephen Morris 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@SteMorris) reported from Manchester, England

    What was going to be a busy day just ground to a halt. @virginmedia down, no internet, no phone, & no TV.

  • aboardy Alison Boardman (@aboardy) reported from Walton le Dale, England

    @virginmedia reported slow speeds on Sunday. Promised a call back between 2 and 4 hours. Not received. Not getting the minimum guaranteed broadband speed yet paying in full. Proving difficult to speak to anybody. You appear not to care. #poorcustomerservice

  • lizzielichfield Anna Taylor (@lizzielichfield) reported from Salford, England

    .@virginmedia 6 days after I raised this & commitments from 3 different reps, no one has fixed this issue or got back to me. My elderly, vulnerable parents remain without a landline or internet because of YOUR error. Your inaction is making a bad situation terrifying for them.

  • aboardy Alison Boardman (@aboardy) reported from Walton le Dale, England

    @virginmedia spoken to your “customer service”. Advised that promises for call back on live chat cannot be traced and nothing they could do. The call centre apparently has no record of live chat conversations. Advisor seemed to blame me! For a media company very poorly connected

  • renzair Renzair (@renzair) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia If your internet service to St. Helens could be anything other than complete dogshit for more than five minutes that’d be swell. Since 7:30 this morning, constant outages of internet service. STILL happening at 16:00. Thanks (for nothing). Again.

  • nmb340 Matt D (@nmb340) reported from Manchester, England

    And its dropped yet again. Once more and I shall cancel my direct debit. No point in paying @virginmedia for a service they appear unable to provide!

  • Stephjjmn Steph Nash (@Stephjjmn) reported from Wigan, England

    @stevenfrost3003 @virginmedia @skytv We had the same problems, went to Sky who are much cheaper with better deals and service, never looked back 👍🏼

  • Smrandall76 Steven (@Smrandall76) reported from Salford, England

    @elDiabloRojoUK @virginmedia Cancel your direct debit and they'll phone you soon enough. 👍

  • Cuttsrich rich cutts (@Cuttsrich) reported from Tyldesley, England

    @virginmedia hi can help please. TV service down with new reinstalled tivo box

  • HuwMatthews1 Huw Matthews (@HuwMatthews1) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Still no response and no internet connection. Cannot get though to your call centre either. We have been paying for a service we are not receiving for weeks. Please respond ASAP.

  • aliyashystghani Aliya shystha Ghani (@aliyashystghani) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia literally the worst thing ever

  • aboardy Alison Boardman (@aboardy) reported from Walton le Dale, England

    @virginmedia also run tests. All came back fine. Significantly below minimum guaranteed speed. Average 20mbps. Disappointed that I was promised a call and never got it. Been on hold too long. Appalling service.

  • lucyolix lucy (@lucyolix) reported from Salford, England

    Sick of using my data cos virgin media is crap

  • suziplumbo susan booth (@suziplumbo) reported from Manchester, England

    @mullsymcfc @owensherratt @jayblue1970 Wait till McDonald’s open 2 hrs they where queuing makes me wish I was in the middle of nowhere with no virgin media signal

  • Drawski5 Yer Man (@Drawski5) reported from Bury, England

    Working from home today with loads of interruptions so thought I’d catch up after 4pm, then just before 5, Virgin Media down yet again. Virgin must sort itself out! Lots of people relying on Broadband to work & it’s down again.

  • Roxy2Buck Roxy Shmuck (@Roxy2Buck) reported

    @virginmedia Who do I speak to in regards to putting an official complaint with someone that is going to listen? Not happy you cut me off this morning even when the bill was paid last night. I woke up to a freezing house, crying baby and very stressed this morning already.

  • WWE__History WWE Today In History (@WWE__History) reported
