    Simon Archer (@BelvedereVicar) reported from Crayford, England

    We are fortunate enough to be able to have both @SkySportsPL and @btsportfootball on @virginmedia. But why pay for this when the matches we want to watch are on Box Office? We are being asked to pay twice! We will cancel if this continues. #RipOff

    Come on @virginmedia We can’t work without a broadband connection and can’t even watch TV instead because that’s not working either. A problem all day that we were promised would be fixed by 4pm (DA7)

    @virginmedia your internet has been rubbish recently with varying speeds as low as 5mb 1 minute then 95mb the next! Now it’s gone down completely! On top of not being able to speak with anyone I don’t feel that your service is worth it! #rubbishservice

    @virginmedia hi I’ve received a written response to a complaint from VM but with no way to reply other than the usual customer service number which doesn’t offer an option for this. Can you supply another telephone number or physical address to reply to?

  • YOGACTIVEYOGA
    YVETTE OBERTELLI (@YOGACTIVEYOGA) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia service is appealing in area 22 bo internet connection for 4 days out of 5 now: can't work from home. Been a customer for over a decade USING THE SAME ROUTER as the only thing you "upgrade" is your bills not your services ... very disappointing !

    @virginmedia all services down AGAIN the quality of service from Virgin lately has been shocking multiple outages of tv/broadband. Not entirely sure what I'm paying for when I can't use it.

    @virginmedia Any chance you can just add the ability to cancel services from your website. By the time someone actually answers and doesn’t hang up i’ll probably have died of old age 😐

  • Missbrown2006

    @virginmedia Even thought he’s not receiving the service he’s paying for? How do I make a formal complaint.

  • juliabard
    Julia Bard #RefugeesWelcome #ReinstateJeremyCorbyn (@juliabard) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for your polite reply but a day later, like every day for a week, the broadband stopped working again. It’s back again now. But same pattern: status page said no problems. Tested the system: “Something went wrong with the test”. No idea what I’m paying such vast sums for.

  • Dstantonwright
    Stanton Wright (@Dstantonwright) reported

    @virginmedia, your internet is ****. Fix it.

  • jasonw83

  • KeelRush
    Keelan Rushby (@KeelRush) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, I’m getting no signal from my Virgin TV box, I’ve rung up and followed the steps given to me and it’s still not working. Broadband is fine and the box is connected to the TV because it has the welcome screen and the Starting up screen, then says no signal.

    Ian Ibbotson (@ianibbo) reported

    @virginmedia Servixe status says No known issues. The whole street knows its down tho. Pity you changed the design of the service status page to stop it accepting arbitrary postcodes or you could check it yourself. Guess you aren't keen on people the transparency that would create.
