  I’ve had 3 hours sleep, I’m trying to catch up and within 10 mins I’ve had four calls from **** bags pretending to be from Virgin Media. The next **** to do this, I’ll be tracking your location and paying you a ******* visit! 😡

  @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??

  @AnnG50707311 @virginmedia I always haggled with them and got them to come in at new customer prices. Surprising what they will give you when you let them think you are leaving. Also let them know what other companies will offer you to become a customer as they may match the offer

  @virginmedia They advise they would send a signal to router, I then turn off after 5 mins, for 10 mins and when back on all will be working! Well it didn’t make a difference and my speed test shows my downloads dropped from 236mbs to 36. The issue is uploads tho at 0.5mbps. On hold again!

  Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Andrew007Uk) reported 11 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  Listening to the broadband presentation on @itvMLshow with some irony. I pay @virginmedia £79/month for broadband/phone & TV. BB/TV failed in November, after many calls they say it will be fixed in March 2023 😬 Compensation is only calculated when service is restored 😪 Fair?

• 
  Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 13 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

  DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported 17 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

  Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported 20 minutes ago from Aveley, England

  @TracyWoodley4 @virginmedia @Virgin Their service has certainly gone down hill and this issue with the call centre is a complete farce. If they can't even get their own internal systems sorted as a telecomms company what hope do we have? My contract is up in March and I will defo be leaving Virgin.

  @_andy_pandy_ @virginmedia Outrageous 😱 I’d cancel my subscription.

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

  VenusEnvi (@VenusEnvi) reported 31 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!!

• 
  Mark 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@WhiskyOneIce) reported 36 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

• 
  Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Andrew007Uk) reported 40 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 🙏🏻

  Lisa Philpott (@Lisa2672) reported 45 minutes ago from Rayleigh, England

  @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.

  Virgin media Im going into my 5 week of no service with virgin media all they do is say we will investigate and nothing really poor service

  Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported 52 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

  Richard Noble (@Richard09499442) reported 57 minutes ago from South Ockendon, England

  @virginmedia my wifi is terrible, how do i go about getting some boosters so that my signal is as strong as you promise? I can't access the app (thats another unresolved problem!) Also how do i go about receiving the £100 credit that you also promise? Thank you.

  Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported 59 minutes ago from Aveley, England

  So trying to cancel @virginmedia services and the stalling tactics being used are not cool. If customers want to leave they have every right to do so. Let them go.

  @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.

  Darren Danks (@thedazdanks) reported 14 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Hi guys. I received my landline adapter today. Problem is, you’re assuming the phone is near the hub. My hub is upstairs and my landline is downstairs. Is there a solution or am I just buggered?

  Pari Passu Newsletter (@PariPassu_Rx) reported 15 minutes ago

  Telefónica and Liberty Global are looking at ways to bring down the £22bn debt pile at Virgin Media O2, their UK joint venture, after a sharp sell-off in the company's bonds. A roughly $925mn unsecured note fell to as low as 57 cents on the dollar this week, down from about 78 at the start of July, and even the senior secured paper slipped. The measures under discussion include cutting the expected £200mn dividend, pulling back capex, and reducing headcount.

• 
  zach close YT (@ZachcloseYT) reported 22 minutes ago

  Seriously @virginmedia you canceled our contract with you before it even run out just because you have sued and you raised the price to over 200 pounds a month that we can't afford and the rubbish service doesn't even work and I don't want a reply from ai I want a person to reply

  @virginmedia You close a call and open a new one without resolution. That’s how you avoid @Ofcom ratings
