Once again @virginmedia your internet connection drops as soon as we get bad weather. Lost count of the amount of times this has happened, and with the amount of money I pay you nothing happens to stop this happening again. Shocking service. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@virginmedia Also given that link is for postal marketing how exactly does that help with phone calls? As it stands your systems are non-compliant

@virginmedia This help page just walks me through what I've already done, it doesn't show me how to reset the pod

@virginmedia It’s been a tricky few days as I have been trying to run my media company. I phoned Virgin Media business both times was told it’s an outage. It seems to be working better than ever now, but hoping no more disruptions. Thank you for making contact with me

@virginmedia Can your company please start putting out adequate information directly to your customers please, instead of assuming we should go looking for answers. Believe it or not people deal with the truth far better than these days would tell us. Why is the network failing?

@virginmedia Afternoon, I have an iPad with a Virgin SIM card that I no longer use. Obviously still need to pay off the monthly device fee but am I able to cancel the SIM plan?

Once again @virginmedia internet down as soon as we get rain in our area. I need to keep a tally chart with how many times this has happened. Complete and utter shambles

@virginmedia useless we are trying to cancel and for past 2 weeks now since we have moved home. We have been pushed from pillar to post, been laughed at by customer service. Since we moved we have we've been promised someone will come and sort it.

@virginmedia Internet back up now. Don't have a problem with either maintenance or an unavoidable fault, I just wish you'd send out an SMS or something to inform customers of why, and for how long. Otherwise you get people just sat waiting and none the wiser.

@virginmedia I did and they couldn’t do anything. I’m very disappointed that not even going just broadband could reduce anywhere near new customers. My car insurance has to match new customer deals. You should do the same.

@virginmedia @Mikeper81999705 This is what I'm tweeting about. It's no information that the internet is down, I know my internet is down. Customers for some odd reason, might want to know why??

@virginmedia No email access for 3 days now on the blueyonder access. All I get is "Oops, this page is broken." System says nothing is wrong. Terrible. I have done a check, and it says everything is working correctly on BBand/Telly. ??? Area 01.

@virginmedia So why then a) does it specify postal and b) not provide a field for mobile number. At best it’s misleading and at worst incompetent

Morning @virginmedia I know it's not your fault but communication is impossible so I have turned to Twitter for help. Have you any idea when @YodelOnline will get their act together as we have been wasting days off waiting for important packages from you?

@Jack173_ @virginmedia The service has been truly awful for a week now Jack, you'll probably find it's nothing to do with your end. This is exactly what I'm talking about. If someone takes your road up, you get a notice. If Virgin fibre goes down or someone just pushes the wrong button, it's all meh

@virginmedia very disappointed that being a customer for nearly 25 years doesn’t warrant any discount but being a new one did. Bye bye I’m off to @bt_uk

@virginmedia I’ve just reported it to you, so please ask them to update the status on the service status page so we can have estimate of when fixed. There is no other way to report it

@virginmedia is your service down? I can’t make calls, answer them or use my data?

Barnold
(@Ben16349164) reported
@virginmedia They probably did mention it but I can’t remember, and I just know it won’t happen. Almost a full week with no services whatsoever. Im over it. I’ll probably just cancel my direct debit and continue using my mobile data as a hotspot. Less problems with that.

Scot Wilson
(@Scotw57) reported
@virginmedia No, simply told there is nothing which can reduce the price. Having been a customer for 16 years and never missing a payment it is a bit of a joke as I could get it cheaper as a new customer, infact I could get more services

@virginmedia No it’s not, but it’s happening in other households too. And the service checker number confirms there is an issue

@virginmedia Ha! No, your customer service is as rubbish as your internet service. So please ask them to update the status

@virginmedia Hi, outages across phone, TV and broadband for weeks now in G14. Very difficult to speak to anyone about difficulties or get firm timescales about resolving issues. What are your plans for fixing these ongoing problems?
