  David Ball (@dicksielives) reported 2 minutes ago from Romford, England

  Hi @virginmedia I ordered a new phone via my wife (who is already on Virgin mobile) last Friday. I was told to wait for a confirmation email which I still have not received. Can you help? I have the order No.

  What is going on with the horrific intermittent WIFI connection in SM5 for the past week. Website says there is a problem BUT have to wait til Friday for an engineer. Abysmal performance @virginmedia

  Ben Rogers (@eviemae239) reported 6 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia wi-fi down yet again for about the 5th time this week. Constantly going down over last few weeks as well, absolute shambles.

  @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 Hi. Have no wifi (green light) and despite rebooting several times have a had no luck. This has happened after following your instruction to reboot for ‘faster speed’. Please advise asap - no issues in the area according to your website.

  @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.

  @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

  @virginmedia It has been almost 30 years since he was a new customer... 🙃

  ✖️𝔻𝕖𝕒𝕟 𝕄𝕔𝔽𝕒𝕣𝕝𝕒𝕟𝕖✖️ (@NoddyMaccy) reported 17 minutes ago from Romford, England

  @virginmedia I contacted customer services for an update on my iPhone 14 Pro Max. I was informed by your Twitter account I wouldn’t need to send my current phone back until I receive my new one. I was then informed by the gentleman on the phone my new phone won’t be sent until I send this

  DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported 21 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia 4/ I work from home so asked what can I do in the meantime? No help given. I asked to speak to a supervisor. Waited 15 mins to speak to Supervisor ( 45 mins total already spent on phone)..

  @virginmedia @VMHelpDesk Broadband down in my area, this is frustrating. Reckon it’ll be fixed by 9. No tv & Broadband during the school holidays

  Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Andrew007Uk) reported 29 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @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.

• 
  Nick Miller 🇺🇦 (@NickMillerUK) reported 30 minutes ago from South Ockendon, England

  @virginmedia It’s everything downstream of the LAN ports, so wifi on the box is on and working but all his wired network is offline. I have asked him to check all the cabling to make sure it’s all connected.

• 
  Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported 33 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.

• 
  Phil (@feyipuk) reported 38 minutes ago from Crayford, England

  @virginmedia Phoned, and as expected; they can't just "put this right". The equipment and service are working fine. That the dish is broken and there is little slack to enable me to bury the cable deeper is due to local engineers. Will just have to dig trench, break cable and wait again!

• 
  Going for Gold (@Gold_Accounting) reported 45 minutes ago from South Ockendon, England

  @itvnews please help. @virginmedia refusing to prioritise an 87 year old with a heart condition who needs a 24/7 phone line for her Emergency button a priority. Refusing to send an Engineer for ANOTHER 6 days.

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

  @virginmedia why is your broadband so bad? World cup games and im having a nightmare watching them with the broadband drop outs!

• 
  Sarah Ludford 🇬🇧 🇮🇪🇪🇺 🇺🇦 (@SarahLudford) reported 4 minutes ago

  I want to scream, as so often with ‘customer service’ [sic] these days. @virginmedia and @O2 have merged; neither of my passwords works. I click a link to reset and all I get is ‘verification of email address’ not ‘reset password’. So fed up.

• 
  Chariots Of Fire (@chariots85) reported 5 minutes ago

  @gblondon1 @skytv @virginmedia I made the move at the start of the year. Despite a 1GB BB connection, the WiFi across the house is terrible (and I have 2 boosters!)

• 
  Gloucester Glass (@gloucesterglass) reported 5 minutes ago

  @gblondon1 @skytv @virginmedia Great tech ✅ Great Fast Broadband ✅ Wait until renewal comes around ❌ Try and get hold of someone to discuss it ❌ I too am a Virgin customer btw

  @griptmedia @Ben_Scallan Ben = common sense . Every single NGO should be shut down along with RTE and virgin media

• 
  South Coast Commuter (@CS_Hants) reported 7 minutes ago

  @virginmedia May I remove it then? It’s ugly, VM never mentioned I would need it when you sold me the service and you didn’t get my permission to stick it on my house! Will happily send it back to you! Have no intention of ever using @virginmedia ever again!
