  @virginmedia Third time it's been down today now. Yes completely down, we have no Internet at all. What other services do you mean? We only have broadband with you. Yes, I've booked but not until next week, we CAN NOT have this service for 3-5 days before someone comes out?!

  @virginmedia @lionsgateplusuk Wish I could enjoy this but my so called 500mb service is so poor I’ve virtually been without internet for a week. Finally your team viewed it as urgent because I do work from home on Zoom and…an engineer is coming on Tuesday. When BT Reach put full fibre in my area it’s bye bye

  @virginmedia what’s going on with internet service in HD8 area ? I don’t want to have to wait 23 hours before calling a technician as advised by your service page

  @virginmedia why is the red button on sky sports football not working no option to watch the live games ?? Poor service

  Oliver Dean #TeamLH (@ollieinleeds) reported 38 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @virginmedia you must have the most unreliable internet service in the UK. Several times a year it goes down for a full working day. Again today, "Unplanned Outage" yet your van was here within seconds. Unplanned my arse. Compensate my loss of earnings! #poorService

  John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported 38 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia No problem, and thank you for sorting it out quickly. May be worth making sure telephone staff tell customers about call out charges as I had no idea they applied in this situation.

  @virginmedia I can’t sign in with the original details. The email is no longer mine.

  Andy M (@AndyM50760310) reported 42 minutes ago from Dewsbury, England

  @virginmedia That is really poor. It should be for Virgin to sort not the public. I spent an hour on the phone on Thursday speaking to a next to useless overseas call centre.

  Abdullah Mulla (@a8dullah_mulla) reported 48 minutes ago from Dewsbury, England

  @virginmedia well done 👏🏽 new way of resolving complaints! Offer a resolution that you know customer won’t accept so you can pass on to an adjudicator… all in a record time of 8mins!!!

• 
  Nick Lawton (@Pontemiller) reported 54 minutes ago from Knottingley, England

  I think very soon I'll be saying 👋 to @ThreeUK and 🤝 to @virginmedia...over the last couple of years, the signal has got increasingly worse. I have just bought a new phone, but the problem persists...really unhappy.

  @virginmedia I’ve been hung up on three times this morning by your contact centre! All your willing to do is pass on the “feedback” do you have anyone customer service trained I can speak to ?

  CarryOnGemma (@CarryOnGemma) reported 2 minutes ago

  @virginmedia this has gone beyond the pale now. You already know all the issues my dad and I have had for, well, weeks now. Dad had all his recordings deleted and now his new recordings are recording and now, when he’s watched part of something he can’t go back and watch it because it says the recording has failed. This has happened on every recording. It seems to record fine then changes to failed. Get this sorted and get the broadband sorted. How @Ofcom isn’t all over this I don’t know. Pushing people to take the V6 and then a year later this happens. Shocking.

  @virginmedia When are you going to issue a formal statement on the nationwide outage. Cm16 area been out since last Thursday, but for others I can see it's been a lot longer. Do right by your customers and issue a statement.

  Mark vix (@Vikk3rs146) reported 7 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I don’t think you give a toss tbh in an age of working from home I had to hotspot and use my data to get through work the last 2 days ..texts from you to say it’s fixed then 10 mins later it’s down again ..I reckon in the 2 years of my current contract I’ve lost 20 days service

• 
  Carl Bateman (@CarlBateman) reported 7 minutes ago

  @virginmedia My landline has had no dial tone for over a month and my repeated attempts to talk to an representative have failed, there's no live chat option and your "fix your landline" page is a joke with only three options. And why no call back option? How can I get help?

  Mark Sutherland * (@markenello) reported 16 minutes ago

  @MattyBeer @virginmedia Its broadband and TV but I've had more than enough of the terrible service

• 
  Mark vix (@Vikk3rs146) reported 16 minutes ago

  @virginmedia And you’ve got the nerve to want £200 for early termination yet I’ve never got a penny from you for losing service consistently..literally been with you since you were called Eurobell .

  @virginmedia No thinking about it ..this week was the final straw of your shite service and even lousier customer service ..I’m gone after 30 + years but loyal customers mean nothing to you lot .

  @virginmedia we have been without internet for a week now. Rinsed through mobile data. Fix date apparently (4th date given) now on 3rd June. We have received compensation but an easy fix would’ve been to give us unlimited data on our mobiles (both with o2) for the month.
