  DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported 1 minute ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia 11/ I've never been 6 days without internet and help was much more available in the past with virgin. Now, customers are being left high and dry.

  @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

  @virginmedia You are no longer my ISP due to your incompetence. Also there will be a lawsuit pending due to the fact I almost died from pneumonia with pulmonary oedema and sepsis later going into stage 2 respiratory failure. Your useless service is unacceptable.

  @Shayan86 @virginmedia It’s a disgrace - my husband works in tv too. You 100% cannot rely on VM. I am definitely changing. My bill started off at £35 and is now £45 as we had to buy boosters. Worst service ever. Skybroadband non-fibre was better than this.

  @virginmedia Hi I have an issue with my current plan? It says I’ve cancelled my O2 benefits but I never received the sim nor did I cancel.

  Pippa Crowther (@getpipfit) reported 28 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia we have had no Internet or TV since yesterday afternoon/evening. Service checker seems down and unable to log into my virgin media as just spins or says unavailable SM1 1RB please advise.

  @virginmedia Your customer service is the worst I have seen

  Sharon Hills 💗 (@Gertie58) reported 40 minutes ago from Dartford, England

  @virginmedia We have broadband but no WiFi. Rang customer services on Thursday lunchtime to be told that although nothing shows up in the service checker it' known fault and should be back today, now it's almost two days without WiFi, just want update from someone who knows what's happening

  Currently receiving terrible customer service from @virginmedia. Strongly considering ending my contact with them and going elsewhere!!

• 
  DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported 44 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia 8/ have to pay if it came down to a third party router intimating that the fault was mine. No appointment till Thursday! I tried to explain that I care for an elderly lady and he wouldn't let me speak and kept interrupting me which was incredibly rude. I advised him to let me

  Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 44 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia so after weeks of unbelievably poor broadband and customer service there was an offer from you to resolve the situation with a web chat at 11am, with a link being provided here. No link. I’m lost for words

  grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported 45 minutes ago from Thundersley, England

  @virginmedia This seems to be the standard message coming from Virgin Media. “Computer says no”. If you can’t see the issue with this then you (Virgin Media) are the problem. I’m inclined to contact the ombudsman as you have sold me a service which you blatantly cannot provide or install.

  ✖️𝔻𝕖𝕒𝕟 𝕄𝕔𝔽𝕒𝕣𝕝𝕒𝕟𝕖✖️ (@NoddyMaccy) reported 46 minutes ago from Romford, England

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

  Carol Dover (@CarolB29041964) reported 49 minutes ago from Stifford, England

  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

  @virginmedia Your link says it can’t find any issues, there are issues. Can you advise if it’s being investigated? What’s the eta? Thanks.

  @PaulWelsh_UK @virginmedia There is no service. 26 November reported - 6th March earliest date for works. I was past to no less than 6 different teams before finally getting somewhere and then being cut off. Anyway welcome home my friend - hope you have more luck than me!

  Jay Bourley (@drummerJ83) reported 55 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia Hi. Have no wifi (green light) and despite rebooting several times have a had no luck. This has happened after following your instruction to reboot for ‘faster speed’. Please advise asap - no issues in the area according to your website.

• 
  Phil (@feyipuk) reported 59 minutes ago from Crayford, England

  @virginmedia That's my issue; in terms of service, it is resolved. Thr cable was previously buried (all be it not that deep), & I would have liked it to be again. My suggestion was leave slack so I could bury it. That message wasn't passed on to the 3rd party engineer. What would you advise?

• 
  grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported 60 minutes ago from Thundersley, England

  @virginmedia I have spoken to your CS team about raising a complaint and have been told that the complaints procedure is for existing customers. As I am yet to go live, I am not considered a customer and therefore have no where to go.

  British and annoyed (@_J_8_7_) reported 3 minutes ago

  @trapdoor456 @virginmedia Definately going to look into them now. Worst part about Virgin is the inconsistent price rises as soon as the contract is up. Had to leave them and join as a new customer pretty much every year just to nearly half the monthly payment. ******* ridiculous.

• 
  Ermito Fernandes (@ErmitoF) reported 6 minutes ago

  Frustrating internet outage all day from @virginmedia while neighbors stayed connected! 😡 ​Had to cancel crucial work meetings and risk client deadlines with zero proactive suppor from service provider. ​Anyone else experiencing selective blackout?

• 
  Maureen (@lifeisnuts123) reported 6 minutes ago

  @trapdoor456 @virginmedia Been with 4 providers so far inc Virgin and all been terrible when it comes to sorting problems. Pot luck I think. Can't wait to get away from the one I'm with now when the contract runs out.

  Joe Mama (@rafrafUk) reported 9 minutes ago

  Wow. I thought @virginmedia was bad but @skytv makes them look gooooood!

  Adam Spooner (@aspoone2) reported 10 minutes ago

  @virginmedia what an awful service New customer and already regretting it Along pops engineer 1 on 22nd to install the service Oh can't do that mate, we need to call out the street team, they will be there Wednesday

• 
  🕷️🇪🇺 🇬🇧 Uitlander (@Uitlander) reported 11 minutes ago

  @virginmedia - So call customer service. 20 minutes on hold. Finally talk to a human. - Apparently all my renewal offers have expired (they are still showing in the app) - Would I like to renew at 3x the price I am paying.? NO

• 
  Kev (@victor50) reported 11 minutes ago

  @virginmedia if Virgin paid me £5 for every time the wifi went down, I’d be a wealthy man. I am anyway, but not quite enough to sue under the trades description act for diabolical service. Absolutely awful. The new provider can’t get in our area quick enough.

  lucy barnett (@lucebarnett) reported 12 minutes ago

  @EE I was on a call for 42 minutes this morning and got nowhere. Nobody wants to take any responsibility and suggesting I didn’t order despite the fact SIMs have moved over to One plan and Virgin Media contacted me about leaving. Very poor service

  Lotharemas (@Lotharemas) reported 16 minutes ago

  @virginmedia So how do i go about reporting an SNR upstream Area fault now? the forums have been shut down which always handled it before but now ive been stuck with this causing packet loss since early June.
