    @virginmedia I am not in receipt of universal credit and back in nov i thought we could save some money by downgrading now I would like everything out, and will go with another provider. After the service i have received from yourselves nobody else can do as bad a job

  • Beardyknave Tommy Rotten (@Beardyknave) reported from Shiremoor, England

  • billgibbon Bill Gibbon (@billgibbon) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia All praise to your engineer Paul who has got us back online this afternoon. Still needs a new cable to be pulled through, but the fix is there. Thanks for everything.

  • simplyajblog Abbie✨ (@simplyajblog) reported from Dunston, England

    @katiexmiddleton @virginmedia VM is big in my area for internet but the last house I was in could only have TalkTalk. When I moved, I just transferred my address over instead of moving across to VM. The trouble you’ve, and everybody else it seems, had makes me glad I did! I’ve not had an issue with TT once!

  • Stephen3_22 Stephen 💙 (@Stephen3_22) reported

    @virginmedia To what end? Are you able to arrange a call with someone who can make things happen who will take responsibility? Can you tell me when a dig team will he on site? Can you guarthat I won't be without service tomorrow? If not, I'm not sure how you can help.

  • CliffMorton Cliff Morton (@CliffMorton) reported

    @virginmedia Already done that on 3 different occasions. It’s Virginmedia Business. They’re too arrogant to answer & u can’t help because your not allowed to speak to another department.

  • wozaboxa Count Brockula (Woz) (@wozaboxa) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you generic reply service. Yes, I have used all the self service tools available, however it still seems to be ongoing. Which is annoying.

  • anthonyboutall Anthony Boutall (@anthonyboutall) reported

    @virginmedia I was advised I would receive a call back within the hour, which never happened. Other than that, I have been offered no advice.

  • JKembey Joe Kembey (@JKembey) reported

    @virginmedia We have already had 3engineers out, and another one coming this Thursday. Every time they have checked the cabinet and fixed nothing. All tests say there is no problem, yet we still get shocking speeds. Every time we call you tell us there is an outage, but don't fix the problem

  • Joolz41 Julia Blackwell (@Joolz41) reported

    @virginmedia I have zero mobile phone signal in my house most of the time, I need a text code several times a day for secret home working, running into the garden to try and get a signal is getting v old. Some times I have no problem, but recently the signal has not been available at all

  • javacw ray (@javacw) reported

    @virginmedia @ParalympicsGB no Internet since mid night at BH12 3, status site says no known issues

  • paul_plays_rpgs Paul Plays RPGs (@paul_plays_rpgs) reported

    @virginmedia This is possibly the worst customer service response ever. 1. No apology for continued delay 2. No recognition that it's a company you're contracting that's causing said delay. 3. No offer to resolve issue in any way. 4. No attempt at retention.

  • DGM7 Daniel Meason (@DGM7) reported

    @virginmedia Yep but wouldn't be an issue if Virgin just ported the number over like they've promised over 10 times. Been told it will be done in a couple of days but you'll see on my account this has happened like 10 times

    Virgin media down?
