  Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 1 minute ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia I’ve spent over 2 hours on the phone and I lost count of people I’ve spoken to when I got to 12. That’s just today and this has gone on for weeks. Pretty sure you would’ve lost me as a very longstanding customer by the time 28 days is up.

  @virginmedia This seems to be the standard message coming from Virgin Media. “Computer says no”. If you can’t see the issue with this then you (Virgin Media) are the problem. I’m inclined to contact the ombudsman as you have sold me a service which you blatantly cannot provide or install.

  @virginmedia I performed the reset, it still does not recognise the code. Very disappointed. On Wednesday I wasted 3 hours on the phone talking to 13 of your people one of whom brazenly told me to fix all issues I must buy an upgrade. I am sorry to say the whole experience is abysmal 💔

  @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 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.

  @virginmedia 11/ I've never been 6 days without internet and help was much more available in the past with virgin. Now, customers are being left high and dry.

  Paul Wingfield BSc CEng MIET (@pwingers) reported 36 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia I tried again today. After faffing with phone, then faulty website, and back to phone, I eventually found a very helpful assistant who managed to convince me to stay; happily. It was close though, as much room for improvement. Please sort out your customer services & website.

  @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.

  Virgin Media/O2 service event to **** when they started using the same type of call centres that Scammer PayBack would have interest in.

• 
  Paul Green (@pgreen83) reported 10 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I have sent another private message. 3 weeks non stop of having issues with virgin. When is everything going to work? I pay £120 a month for something that I cannot use.

  Malcolm Sillick (@Malcolm_Sillick) reported 14 minutes ago

  @LeilaniDowding @EE Lellani, it's not just EE, it's everyone. Even those on cable (Virgin Media) still have to have the phone plugged into the router. Seems like a good idea, until you get a power cut (which can be supported by a back-up battery, which is NOT given as standard) If the internet goes down, then so does your phone. Great if you have a mobile, but if you live in an area with a poor mobile signal, so reply on 'Wi-Fi calling' in the house, then when the internet goes down, you also have no mobile service. It's called progress!!

  @virginmedia Instead of silly twitter replies , when you know there is a big outage why don't you publish it on the website ? Have a message on the phone line also , would solve a lot of problems . Your phone lines were overwhelmed yet that could have been prevented .

  Would you rather eat a bag of broken glass or deal with @virginmedia I can’t decide…

  Expanse Consulting Ltd (@ExpanseCon) reported 19 minutes ago

  @ulickdcox @VodafoneIreland Not a vodafone issue. Looks like a core switch failure, optical cross-connect fault or other fault inside one of the central carrier-neutral hubs. It has dropped interconnection across multiple fixed ISPs (Virgin Media, Eir, Siro, NBI) simultaneously.

  @virginmedia Wow you really don't want additional business, shocking experience both with your customer service bot and now when DM your X bot. What a terrible business.

  Stephen Maddock (@stephenm68) reported 20 minutes ago

  @alan_reddish @virginmedia Day 34 here. And no proper answers such as whether any engineers have actually been out to try to fix things. Just stock answers from the @virginmedia script.
