  @virginmedia Yes I have checked the service status, it is the first thing I do & all was fine. The issues is with the cable Ethernet & the phone connection in the Hub 4. I don’t use your WiFi setup as my house is fully cabled for networking. I am a Network Architect, so have done basic tests

  @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.

  @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

  @virginmedia Yes I have chased and chased and spent 4 hours today on WhatsApp, no advise just can't help because I have outstanding bill....no the line isn't active because it was ported over to Community Fibre on 8th July

  Robert Smith (@RobertSSmith66) reported 34 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @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

• 
  Mark 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@WhiskyOneIce) reported 38 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia Obviously i don't have proof because your site doesn't say send recorded so why would i, my number was ported in July and I wrote same time, I have no reason to not send letter and you can see from any data usage that I stopped using your service

• 
  Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported 41 minutes ago from Aveley, England

  @virginmedia Yes he left a name & phone number, said I should I let him know if I still have issues. I've contacted him 3 times including this morning since his visit last Friday.

  Simon Norris (@sinozza) reported 45 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia I spent over an hour on the phone yesterday trying to get through to a customer service rep only to get cut off. Still waiting to hear on WhatsApp and been on hold this afternoon 45 mins and still holding???? Whats going on??

  DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported 48 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @MayorofLondon Shame they provide the most terrible customer service and treat you like they've got you by the short and curlies! Pay £400 a year for a service, custome service agents are like robots and stuff you for days when it doesn't work with no alternative offered! @virginmedia

  MrChips (@MrChips2000) reported 52 minutes ago from Grays, England

  @virginmedia Hi, I would like to cancel my recent broadband order. I found a better deal.

  Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported 56 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

  Dr Stower and the Stock Market of Madness 🦍 (@1CreativeRay) reported 56 minutes ago from Wainscott, England

  @virginmedia Terrible service from you these last two weeks! I have spent more than 4hrs on the phone to Asian based O2, and Virgin call centres who never help or process things. Also Capita in South Africa… Why do you use foreign call centres if they cannot do the job!!

• 
  Mark 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@WhiskyOneIce) reported 57 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  Be careful if you ever want to cancel a @virginmedia account, I wrote to them, twice as per their T&C because you can never get through on chat or phone, they deny receipt of letters because you cant send recorded delivery so they just keep sending bills and chasing payments

• 
  Pippa Crowther (@getpipfit) reported 58 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia Thankyou. The site still won't let me check status.. reported this.. says your site down. I've now spoken to someone as I need Internet for work. Someone coming out on Saturday!

  Michael Cuddington (@cuddy271) reported 7 minutes ago

  @Ofcom I am told there is more strife coming down the line for @virginmedia they have a 360 tv box which customers hate becauseof its many problems and many want out .

• 
  entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported 8 minutes ago

  @aidan_codtello @virginmedia Good luck! When the service works at @virginmedia it's great-but when there's a problem you're pretty much on your own with a fanciful bunch of stories until you can finally get an engineer to pitch up. I always think that how they handle a problem is the measure of a company...

• 
  Bill (@Bill72156026) reported 8 minutes ago

  @IrishTimes What a joke. Would it actually be missed if it was wound down? Would virgin media be missed it it was wound down ? Only by the government. It’s clear from their own statements that they promote the government narrative while deliberately avoiding to challenge or question the government.

• 
  Tim (@Dangerous180) reported 10 minutes ago

  Tv box not working properly and now wi-fi is intermittent. For what I am paying you this is not good enough @virginmedia

• 
  Mehrdad Yousefi (@MY21_Oracle) reported 14 minutes ago

  Ofcom has fined Virgin Media O2 £28mn for repeatedly preventing customers from cancelling contracts, after it found that the UK telecoms group had likely mishandled millions of customer calls.

• 
  Reb (@UserrReb) reported 15 minutes ago

  Ofcom has ordered #VirginMedia to check that every affected customer who complained has received the compensation or other remedies to which they may be entitled within the next six months. A disgusting company that no-one should touch.

  Tariq Chowdry (@tc9topcat) reported 15 minutes ago

  @virginmedia - my internet has been down since 3pm in Bristol Can't get through to agent on phone. Please advise when it will be fixed.

• 
  d f (@ToddCoxeter) reported 17 minutes ago

  @Shiv_who_burns @virginmedia Rude, no? I swear that, for Virgin, mumbling in accents in a noisy call centre is a deliberate tactic. Anyhow. I switched to basically a business broadband. It's both a bit dear, and cheaper than those pirates.

  GanAinm (@ainm_gan5505) reported 21 minutes ago

  @MartinSLewis Virgin Media is not actually Virgin, it’s a ****** American company called Liberty with a license to use the Virgin Media branding. The real Virgin company should take the license off them for driving the name through the ****.

  Graham Hill (@grahamhill1) reported 22 minutes ago

  @MartinSLewis Virgin Media were terrible to deal with when I had a contract with them, poor customer service up until I quit - only then did I get to talk to someone in charge. I still quit and signed up to @sky
