  @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.

  @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

  @PaulWelsh_UK @virginmedia There is no service. 26 November reported - 6th March earliest date for works. I was past to no less than 6 different teams before finally getting somewhere and then being cut off. Anyway welcome home my friend - hope you have more luck than me!

  @virginmedia awful disgusting customer service. 3 different agents 3 conflicting replies and told other were lies! What has happened to virgin? Supervisor was so rude. Didn't listen and kept interrupting me with robot replies. #terriblecustomerservice #badcustomerservice

  @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 The issue has now been resolved just after my tweet, I was just very angry at the time. Thank you though for responding.

  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 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!

  Phil (@feyipuk) reported 36 minutes ago from Crayford, England

  @virginmedia That's my issue; in terms of service, it is resolved. Thr cable was previously buried (all be it not that deep), & I would have liked it to be again. My suggestion was leave slack so I could bury it. That message wasn't passed on to the 3rd party engineer. What would you advise?

  @virginmedia Sort it out Virgin IT’S NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!!!! Can’t even log on to get service updates 😡😡😡

  Gerry (@guinnessaddick) reported 42 minutes ago from Dartford, England

  @thorogodies @Missbwattie @virginmedia We don’t have many problems with ours, surprised you do, as you’re only round the corner, must be a box problem.

  grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported 43 minutes ago from Thundersley, England

  @virginmedia I have spoken to your CS team about raising a complaint and have been told that the complaints procedure is for existing customers. As I am yet to go live, I am not considered a customer and therefore have no where to go.

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

  Sharon Hills 💗 (@Gertie58) reported 48 minutes ago from Dartford, England

  @virginmedia We have broadband but no WiFi. Rang customer services on Thursday lunchtime to be told that although nothing shows up in the service checker it' known fault and should be back today, now it's almost two days without WiFi, just want update from someone who knows what's happening

• 
  Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported 54 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

  @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

• 
  LES ⚒ (@PL13Les) reported 58 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  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

  Blain (@Blaaiin) reported 5 minutes ago

  Hi @virginmedia, I have been passed from pillow to post since yesterday morning and have been lied to about an appointment that was booked for someone to come to my property and repair my internet and TV services. How do I escalate this? Honestly, the service is a shambles!

• 
  Adam Weston (@textmaniac78) reported 5 minutes ago

  @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia I got told once and I don't know if it works but if you ring up and upgrade to another package it's classed as a new contract so you can cancel within 14 days maybe worth looking into doing that

• 
  Alfie Pupper Esq 2 (@AlfiePupper) reported 7 minutes ago

  Hey @virginmedia how come the only part of your service that works consistently is billing? Posting on here because I have more chance of handcuffing a ghost than speaking to a human employee for help. Funny, cos when you wanted to sell your service we couldn’t get rid of you!

• 
  Dave Banks (@DaveJBanks) reported 8 minutes ago

  @virginmedia what's the problem and how long is the fix likely to take please? (LE8)

• 
  Brandon Fletcher (@FletchLCFC92) reported 9 minutes ago

  @virginmedia why don’t you lot just leave stuff alone! Updated my tv box and now it don’t work… Shock!! Time to look at moving to sky instead of your overpriced **** stuff!!

  William Bell (@Wmb1877) reported 9 minutes ago

  @Just_Katie_x @virginmedia Had a similar problem with them years when cancelling due to moving house. Absolutely useless would never use them again.

  Because of you @ScottishPower virgin media went down don't turn our power off again without letting us know you have to give people notice

  Richy (@MTFC_RIch) reported 17 minutes ago

  @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia Happened to me a few yrs ago. We had 3 wks outage, which they said was due to a part failing and would take 3 wks to get a new part. Left as soon as contract up and found a deal less than half what they were charging for same service
