  @thorogodies @Missbwattie @virginmedia We don’t have many problems with ours, surprised you do, as you’re only round the corner, must be a box problem.

  Just how **** are Virgin Media...my email was down for two evenings and probably the days as well earlier in the week, and now it's down again. Virgin Media i need to access my emails....this level of service is unacceptable. I'm paying for this crap service! @virginmedia

  Tony Patis-Stannard (@tonyps1977) reported 13 minutes ago from Romford, England

  @virginmedia your service is shocking and spent 40mins on the phone to be told you can’t connect my call and to try again, you have my contact details get in touch with me as I want to speak to someone about the service I’m not getting…

  Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported 15 minutes ago from Aveley, England

  @virginmedia I've been having problems with my phoneline and it is currently dead. An engineer came on Friday but its still not working. Charges have also been appearing on my phone bill for calls I have not made. This has happened twice since November.

  VenusEnvi (@VenusEnvi) reported 16 minutes ago from Grays, England

  @virginmedia what’s the point of asking me to text when I’m ready to set up the new hub if your going to deactivate the old one before I’m ready!! Good job I have unlimited data on my mobile network!!

  @ThatNickElse @virginmedia Did you get through in the end Nick...I'm having similar problems to you.

  DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported 22 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia No as I look after an elderly lady with parkinsons on Thursdays which means she doesn't get to get out of the house if I don't see her. So it's booked in for Friday. What help doninhave till then? Or reimbursement? I'm free every day after 3pm & I'm free Tuesday all day

  Ben Rogers (@eviemae239) reported 26 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia wi-fi down yet again for about the 5th time this week. Constantly going down over last few weeks as well, absolute shambles.

  Steve wilson (@muzzlejuice) reported 28 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia I'm trying to cancel as I'm moving and asked for confirmation which was not provided , the duty manager refused to speak with me when I tried to escalate

• 
  Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 30 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia You’ve now sent me the same unhelpful link about compensation 3 times. This will only compensate me if I have no service, and as I have a service (albeit 3mbps) this, as I’ve repeated several times, doesn’t help me. Another example of poor customer service

  Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported 32 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  After 20 years of being with @virginmedia and Telewest before that, I’ve finally decided to jump ship. Broadband has been horrendous for a couple of weeks and constant issues. 😔. #TimeforaChange

  @virginmedia The issue has now been resolved just after my tweet, I was just very angry at the time. Thank you though for responding.

  Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Andrew007Uk) reported 41 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  After a mammoth session on the phone to 6 of your departments to arrange interim broadband given your service failed in Nov. & won't be fixed to March I spoke to a helpful chap called David in the Customer Care Dept before I was cut off. Can you help reconnect me @virginmedia 🙏🏻

  @Mattallwright 2 years on since I have been having trouble with Virgin Media (fingers crossed) they may have now get an uninterrupted supply after charging me late payments more than double my Media prices whilst as a Vulnerable Person they were awful

  Monique Bissell (@Neek49) reported 4 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I understand, however your estimates keep extending without any end in sight. We don’t get this service for free. We pay for it. At what point do you let us know that it is broken beyond repair and we should move on. I can handle us breaking up for good, promise

  Witter (@Witter10995102) reported 4 minutes ago

  Emma Thompson (@emmathompy) reported 8 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I've also tried to call your customer service helpline but it doesn't appear to recognise my account number so I can't even get through to anyone!

• 
  PAT WEBB (@nan2thou) reported 8 minutes ago

  Virgin Media are so stupid. They are taking my money but say that i dont have an account with them. Only been with them for 20 years.

  entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported 13 minutes ago

  @RogerGreen2009 @virginmedia I'm definitely going to be reviewing my options at the end of my current @virginmedia contract as they've been dreadful in terms of communication and help when the chips are down(day SEVEN of outage)😢 Sadly, I've only just renewed my contract... Thanks for the suggestions👍

• 
  adam (@adam_2510) reported 14 minutes ago

  @virginmedia absolutely shocking customer service. Told by an agent I one price and now I’m in a contract at the wrong amount! Virgin media sales people lie even when I have the proof!! Absolutely poor customer service do not buy Birgin Media!!!!

• 
  Lubdub (@LubZafar) reported 15 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I’ve sent back my equipment in two phases. One was sent last year and you want to charge me again. You have a useless non contactable customer service so this needs to be resolved in one message

• 
  entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported 18 minutes ago

  @karenwi17092279 Sorry to hear that, not good 😔 Yes, we rely on these things more than we realise... I had forgotten the printer, the TV box, my Spotify, heating controller, etc. all use the WiFi and workarounds for all of them need to be fashioned or just abandoned until @virginmedia fix it

  Dom Kane (@ClearlyOptional) reported 18 minutes ago

  @virginmedia - We pay a premium for your services and time and time again your service is down. thats us without access to a baby monitor, without access to baby health monitor - absolutely ridiculous. think it’s time for a change
