    @virginmedia It’s not if you fell short, you guys did fall short . I cancelled my service and it should have been cutoff on the 10th March not the 10th of Feb. all I wanted to here that it was going to be restored. #untrustworthy

    Big fan of the NXT UK roster promoting the wrong Virgin Media channel for Paramount Network (it's 150).

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia It’s been awful. The connection is sporadic at best.

    @virginmedia is there a problem with your tv sevice at mo , in SM postcode

  • SpencerSCarter Spencer Carter (@SpencerSCarter) reported from South Ockendon, England

    Really shocked, but sadly not surprised, by the service from @virginmedia as an existing customer for many years, I’m overlooked in favour of new ones. No care and lack of customer loyalty. Will be talking about it on my show tomorrow

  • TomRoss_ Tom Ross (@TomRoss_) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia Yes there are issues showing. But this is direct through the TiVo box not the app.

  • Tiger118118 Thomas Hapgood (@Tiger118118) reported from Basildon, England

    Hope @virginmedia fix it before 9 because @LoveIsland Final is on at 9 😖😖😖😖😖

  • alansbrown alan brown (@alansbrown) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia I was some time ago but that was because I had entered my number I don't know what number they tried to call as they would not tell me so poor it really is and after 15 years 🤣

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia There are no faults in my area. The issue is likely to be with the router as the 2.4ghz works consistently on other devices.

  • Alanpw1955 Alan Wilton (@Alanpw1955) reported from London, England

    @MannersJack @virginmedia Mine’s ok and I’m in London. Maybe it’s a local problem, it happens sometimes.

  • thombie123 John Thombs (@thombie123) reported from London, England

    Virgin Media are the most untrustworthy company I have ever come across I cancelled my TV service #untrustworthy

  • alansbrown alan brown (@alansbrown) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

  • Knocker75 Karen Holmes (@Knocker75) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia my mums tv/broadband went down at 8.30pm last night, you said it would be back up and running by 12.30am, still not working this morning she’s been told it should be back in at 4.30pm today. No mention of the problem! #ridiculous #compensation

    @itsnoel @RantAbulus @virginmedia @Virgin_Victoria Yeah I’m happy with this one. The Hub I had previously was dog shit. Normally get a bit quicker then what Speed Test got tonight, can hit 390Mbps from time to time.

    @virginmedia, once again I’m having to contact u via Twitter. Can’t access my account, have NO tv service. When you guys decide to put your phones back on. Expect this customer to be cancelling my service and stop funding a service that’s faulty I expect my phone down next week

    @virginmedia My internet is not working since last night. The router is flashing green light and the wifi signal light is green too. I have tried to tighten up the white cable but this hasn't fixed the problem. I have been calling on the customer support number but no one answers
