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

  Tony Patis-Stannard (@tonyps1977) reported 19 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…

  @virginmedia any chance you can get your website to work? Change Package Chat does nothing! Links sent via mail do not work! Hyperlink sent by text doesn’t work! Call centre (working from home in India?) worse than useless! Ever heard of Customer Centric design? #Useless

  @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

  Pippa Crowther (@getpipfit) reported 25 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia 1/ I've been without internet access since last night. I called this morning at 830 and did reset as told, didn't work so was told it'd be passed on to network engineers and they'd get back to me if it didn't come back on within the hour.

  Mark 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@WhiskyOneIce) reported 32 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia It's okay I've taken it up with CEDR now and let them resolve it, I'm just highlighting to people how difficult it is to cancel contracts and the fact that VM consistently "loose" letters

  jordan lockey (@LockeyJordan) reported 33 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia I am not paying the bill until you fix your ****** internet plus your trying to scam us by raising our bill to £225 even though it's supposed to be £130 and we have never missed a payment

  @virginmedia There is a blockage, that I know - I have had no service since November. I was told it would not be sorted before March 6th. I had been promised 3 call backs from different people in the Exec Department - none have followed up.

  Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 41 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia I’ve already raised a complaint. I spoke to someone in the Stage 2 complaints team who told me it’s being dealt with and, as already mentioned, a manager would call me back at 4.30 which didn’t happen. Can someone please sort this out?

  Jay Bourley (@drummerJ83) reported 47 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia Hi, the VMGo app is telling me I need to upgrade to watch live tv but I’ve got the right package to have access and have until today watched live via the app. Is there an issue? Tried restarting it etc.

  @BorisJohnson @virginmedia @O2 Imagine being part of a club or a group where roaming could be free for every mobile phone network automatically across Europe We should join that club sometime.

  @virginmedia Though I am dyslexic I have painstakingly done this on multiple devices and have photos to show It - not posting them publicly but it does not recognise that password 😢 A search on line suggests the problem is not unique. I have one hour to call the manufacturer if you advice.

  Jessica Simpson 😺🐶🐾 (@Jess_Simpson645) reported 2 minutes ago

  To @virginmedia- Many thanks to your Technician who came out today following the outage in my area. Although I was back online by this time he checked over all the equipment and settings, and also discovered that the router needed changing-which he did - very polite and efficient man. I don’t use my real name on here for safety and security reasons, but if you want to send me a DM, I will let you know.

  @RevQntmBigfoot @virginmedia with how bad things have gotten ive decided to get rid of virgin and go with EE 1.6gb connection for £35 a month, install is on tuesday. just sick to death of not having a solid connection and people pretending everything is fine when they just read from scripts

• 
  Steve Kelly (@kellyokid) reported 4 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Hi, would appreciate some contact from you! Apparently I’m now out of contract and my price per month has doubled, no communication from you and I’ve only found out because one of my boxes has decided not to work as a result of broadband connection issues! Brilliant!

• 
  Craig McArdle (@HoMcArdle) reported 4 minutes ago

  Absolutely no ***** given @virginmedia India and Malaysia are your only options as a customer. Poor people having to deal with vm ****** policies. FYI if you make more than one complaint about the same issue, they close the previous ones as resolved. They simply disappear.

  @DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt Telecom contracts in this country don't make any sense to me. Anywhere else in the world, the more loyal you are to the operator, the better deals they give you to keep you as a customer.

  Virgin Media News (@VirginMediaNews) reported 5 minutes ago

  The US has carried out a ninth consecutive night of strikes against Iran. US Central Command said it targeted Iranian military and communication capabilities. Iran also claims two oil tankers exploded in the Strait of Hormuz. The attacks follow the deaths of two US service members who were killed in Jordan during missile and drone attacks by Iran. 📺 More on Virgin Media PLAY

  @virginmedia @RA0307J No companies know how to treat loyal customers anymore. Was with VM for over 20+ years. They acknowledged that but they did not try to keep us. Glad I moved away from them. Companies are all about greed now

  @mojopin1983 @virginmedia Be careful Tony. Virgin media just got a massive fine because for making it unreasonably difficult for customers to cancel their contracts
