    @MarkFlannery19 @virginmedia @phonecoop Hi Mark. Tied into a contract for a year. Therefore they just play lip service to any problems. I used to have 100mbps and that was appalling so upgraded to 200 which is slightly better but never anywhere near even 100 coming into the house

    @virginmedia the issue now is I was promised a deal on the phone then rang up the day after and they refuse to offer me that same deal, all the details are on the email I believe I have a strong case your word is your bond. @MartinSLewis @WhichUK not best way to deal with a 22 year customers

    @virginmedia absolutely disgusted with your customer service! 1 hour 22 minute phone call to discover you want to charge me £37 more a month than a new customer - we’ve been with you for 20 years and I’ve been told Im not allowed to speak to a supervisor 😡

  • leedumble Lee (@leedumble) reported from Avonmouth, England

  • sarahcliftonsc Sarah (@sarahcliftonsc) reported from Kingswood, England

    @bt_uk @skytv I’m looking to leave @virginmedia as they don’t want to give us a good deal after being loyal customers for 20 years. What can you offer us? Any guarantees for broadband quality? I can’t stand the moaning when the WiFi signal goes on the PS5 !Kids Working from home

  • gskusey Georgia Skuse🍭 (@gskusey) reported from Kingswood, England

    If @virginmedia don’t answer the phone in the next 5 minute I will not be paying my next bill!! Second phone call this week (as they cut me off during the last nearly 2 hour call) such **** customer service. 😡😡

  • NurulAmir3 NurulAmir (@NurulAmir3) reported from Bristol, England

    Unprivate my account to get a hold of @virginmedia . Please do something about your customer service. This time around, it should be more efficient. 45 minutes waiting in line only to get disconnected.

  • AndyPaddington Andrew (@AndyPaddington) reported

    @virginmedia Got some.basic channels now, but most including sky 1 says not authorised. Still ongoing problem or my equipment faulty, including my ipad??

  • missradhikaj Radhika Jesani (@missradhikaj) reported

    @virginmedia This doesn’t help much as it just shows that 4 hours later it still hasn’t been resolved! No TV and wifi isn’t a good look for Virgin!

  • fuzzybe4r feizal (@fuzzybe4r) reported

    @virginmedia Yo Virgin, cause your aware of the issue does not mean you can ignore it for 6 hrs???? Thanks for prioritising the free channels. Please remind we why I pay for your services? I could pay a clown to kick me in the Nuts and it will be less pain then what you provide as a service.

  • NikkiBishop17 Nikki🇬🇧QueenandCountry (@NikkiBishop17) reported

    @virginmedia We pay a fortune for this. It's happening far too often. As soon as i am able, i will be returning to Sky. I would rather be ripped off with a working service than a non working one.

  • FromPage2Screen Stuart Bannerman (@FromPage2Screen) reported

    Many Virgin Media customers have had no tv for a few hours ( me incl) reading down some of the comments youd think the world has ended ..its been off for around 6 hrs #notv

  • billchampion Bill Champion (@billchampion) reported

    @virginmedia How long this gonna be any update on times were paying through the nose for your **** service

  • benrlawlor Ben Lawlor (@benrlawlor) reported

    @virginmedia I sure hope that you will be bringing me a little closer to the channels I love and am paying for at some point soon. Kind of sucks that your service status page doesn't work either

  • Jbc729 Jack C (@Jbc729) reported

    @virginmedia Virgin sound like parrots, keep repeating a pre prepared statement without informing us of the cause of the national issue, or when 'normal service' can be expected to resume.

  • maggiekersey44 margaret long (@maggiekersey44) reported

    @virginmedia I live in the IP3 area, it's only my TiVo box that's not working. He came on a little while ago for a couple of seconds then poof, once again it vanished. Can you give me some info please?
