    Patrick Woodward (@pwvoiceovers) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia You asked me to contact you to fix an issue but there are no options to do so. Phone number, when I found it, just led to a bot. Poor service.

    Christian 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 🏳️‍🌈 🇺🇦 🖖🏼 (@brighton_gay) reported from Sompting, England

    @FuriousCoops It’s a major BT Open Reach outage which many non-Virgin Media companies piggyback their connectivity through.

    @virginmedia Hi, i am having some issues with the youtube app, i spoke to youtube they said to try uninstalling reinstalling the app, something i am unable to do as you provide this. It will just not load a video or whilst a playlist is playing it goes black.

    @virginmedia Issue says it should have been dealt with by 03:30 am ...... any update would be appreciated

    Helen Rimmer 💙 🔶️ (@melon_h) reported from Burgess Hill, England

    @virginmedia This is still appalling customer service. I have to register (I did this when things were down in Dec for almost 72 hours), I have to alert etc you are the service provider. How is it good CS that we assume you are lying in estimates? No compensation for Dec either.

    @virginmedia No. Your staff don’t respond to emails when they come back on shift. I’d like to raise a complaint please. Please escalate this to your supervisor if this is something you can’t do. I’ve been waiting since 14th December. Do you feel this is acceptable customer service?

    @virginmedia very quick to take £130 per month for services but very slow to fix it when things go wrong let’s check for Sky! #customerservice #unhappycustomer #bringbackRichardBranson

  • etinton
    Elliot Tinton (@etinton) reported from Shoreham-by-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I’d just like to cancel now please. Is there someone I can speak to to arrange?

  • garypleece
    Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Hi, the interruption is ongoing so I’m guessing we have faulty equipment? When I go onto the website it tells me to ‘reset’ which I do and it works for a while then goes wrong again. Can we sort a new router? Is that the issue?

  • alternativeage
    Alternative Ageing (@alternativeage) reported from Saltdean, England

    @virginmedia Please sort out issues in my area: BN28AE. Outage over the weekend, yesterday and now again. I can’t work! I’ve just got another contract with you for faster wifi but what’s the point! You were improving issues in this area last week but it’s been worse ever since!

  • sami_chanchan
    Sami Channon (@sami_chanchan) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @Ofcom @virginmedia Amazing thank you. I think I am getting somewhere with virgins Twitter team but there phone staff refused to escalate my complaint to a manager several times and then insisted on a call back which will apparently take 72 hours

  • katb217
    Kat Blakeborough (@katb217) reported from Shoreham-by-Sea, England

    @virginmedia help received a text to say my order is coming on Thursday but haven’t ordered anything? Any idea how I can find out what’s coming?

  • Sacto_King_UK
    Danny Williamson (@Sacto_King_UK) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia Yes I am, we’ve had the pre pull of the cables completed this morning, and are ready for the installation. We’ve not received any box, or anything through the post yet My Complaint Ref: ic-191222-237

  • rhock1979
    richard hocking (@rhock1979) reported from Shoreham-by-Sea, England

    @virginmedia How can we get money back from this issue or will you credit all the customers who got virgin tv etc due to what happened

  • esjexe
    Siobhan Fitzgerald-Gibson (@esjexe) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia Intermittent broadband service for 24 hours, no contact or apology, and when I called your customer service rep said it wasn't on the status page because "it only affects 25% of customers." Your company should be up in front of Ofcom.

    @maecoloma8 @virginmedia @richardbranson I've lost a whole day's work, losing a lot of income, any more info on the Brighton outage?

    JK (He/him) 💙🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺 & 🏳️‍⚧️ ally (@logically_fuzzy) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia How can you justify me, a service user for 6 years, paying 3x your current 'new customer' tariff Can I disconnect and rejoin at the lower price please?

  • 5waysRichard
    Richard Williams (@5waysRichard) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Yes it seems to be ok, but I don’t understand why it would be going down every day between midnight and 1am

  • mejones2121
    Michael Jones (@mejones2121) reported from Woodingdean, England

    @virginmedia no internet or phone line yet again. The worst service from a provider I've ever had. #internet #internetshutdown

  • garypleece
    Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia So… are you saying work is being carried out today. Wait until tomorrow and then if still bad book an engineer? I can live with that. But the person I spoke to had no idea about that and just booked an engineer again. Can I ask have other people raised area issues?

    @weyland76 @virginmedia They 100% need to invest in the air conditioning at the exchanges, as soon as it gets hot outside the internet goes down literally every day

  • MrBenGrant
    Ben Grant (@MrBenGrant) reported

    @virginmedia we are so done with you when our contract ends, barely a month goes by with outages and reliability issues! £73 a month you would expect top speeds and super reliability. Sadly not.

  • RevQntmBigfoot
    THE Rev. Quantum Bigfoot ♿️ #FLTG OG Anti-RGB OAP (@RevQntmBigfoot) reported

    Looks like Virgin Media/O2 have had a security breach or someone from within the company is selling customer information Just had several attempts to access my O2 account (using address that has only been used/given to O2) & a load of SPAM to same address Roll on November⏳

    @virginmedia 2nd time in a month there has been a disruption in broadband. Poor

  • MoonwalkOnGold
    Gold (@MoonwalkOnGold) reported

    But then again I saw a news report about @virginmedia customers this past week so I'm not surprised @VirginAtlantic is just as bad. Terrible!

  • BazingaSmth
    BZSM1TH (@BazingaSmth) reported

    @virginmedia So ALL servicea are currently down in CT17 (TV, Fiber , and phone) They have been down since 1500hrs on July 13th. Not expected back up and running until 1300hrs on 14th July. This is not acceptable. You really are totally inept

    Steve George🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@George66Steve) reported

    @CCFCGrapes @virginmedia They're a bunch of See You Next Tuesdays and I'm going to be leaving them soon. The way they rack the prices up is immoral and the supposed service they provide is non-existent.

  • SRIPRAKASH76
    Dr Prakash Nayak (@SRIPRAKASH76) reported

    @virginmedia If you want to buy something VM people will try to sell you something they want to sell. Is this called customer support?

  • Howard1963OT
    Howard Borrington (@Howard1963OT) reported

    @JasonAlderwick @richardbranson Confusing though it is Jason, Richard Branson has never owned Virgin Media. He held a minority stake of roughly 10% and licensed the Virgin brand name to the business until the company was bought out by Liberty Global in 2013.
