  Callum 🏳️‍🌈 🔴⚪⚫ 🔰 (@Callum_SEND) reported 1 minute ago from Brampton Bierlow, England

  @virginmedia I appreciate you trying to help. The issue is with the virgin contract being 18 months and the "new" o2 deal being 24 months and how this would impact as I looked to renegotiate in 18 months

  @virginmedia how do I order a new hub please? My current one loses network access and needs rebooting every hour or so. Not ideal when working from home. There are no known service issues so I’m thinking it’s a hub issue.

  @virginmedia Useless you haven't addressed my points. I will go directly to the managing director Lutz Schueler. Really disappointed and I woukd have expected better considering I have been a loyal customer.

  Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported 5 minutes ago from Wombwell, England

  @virginmedia I’m trying to resolve an issue with your collections team regarding an incorrect default and because I no longer bank with the same account and do not have those details, they won’t talk to me, yet they are happy to just take money off me without telling me why. It’s disgusting

  @virginmedia why is the red button not working I've paid for this service

• 
  The Churchill (@Churchill0782) reported 13 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @virginmedia I've checked and definitely not entitled due to the amount of days with no service. Like I said, a good will gesture. People who are working from home haven't been able to work for a start. Only been with you a few weeks and have nothing but issues.

  Karen Walsh (@kaw7676) reported 14 minutes ago from Normanton, England

  @virginmedia it’s impossible to contact them with a complaint if you aren’t a customer.

  @virginmedia Well I don't know if the problem has been restored at virgins end I received help and advice from an outside source who showed show me how to work around the problem with manual DNS entries. But for me, working now. Thanks.

  Sam Walker (@SamWalker03) reported 23 minutes ago from Dewsbury, England

  @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 ?

  Paul David Phillips (@paul_phillips83) reported 32 minutes ago from Barnsley, England

  @virginmedia not good when my 82yr old mum was left with no phone service so no health emergency service and city wide alarm for the last 2 days.... not good enough !!!!

  @virginmedia @virginmedia @O2 if you're going to sell merged packages to your customers then you really need to improve your joint customer service.. just batting me back to the other without an answer is simply unacceptable

  Sam Watts (@SamWatt30745054) reported 40 minutes ago from Barnsley, England

  @virginmedia I’ve run test after test, at least 5-6 outages a month for last 2 years. Horrendous service and this is the final straw unless you offer me a refund of say £20 a month for last two years, if not I’m going BT and a dodgy box from Mad Frank in pub

  @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

  Asa McGrath (@amcgrath1uk) reported 6 minutes ago

  @virginmedia The issue isn’t time. The issue isn’t that there’s further work. The issue is that it gives out wrong information all the time. Half the time it’s not able to be connected with.

• 
  Seno (@SenosLIVE) reported 7 minutes ago

  @virginmedia please get your **** together, 3rd day in a row internet goes down at 9pm with no solution to the problem other than check back in 24hours. I’m paying £40 a month not for this. Soon it’s gonna be time to switch providers

• 
  Cristoir Toibin (@christobinsings) reported 8 minutes ago

  @virginmedia absolute shambles of a service today, missed the football and now no Internet again for the last hour. Happy to send me 4 messages to say you've fixed "the issue" Time to move to another provider.

• 
  David Richards (@DWRICHARDS) reported 10 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Thanks so much. Who should I ask for?! Current promise via Chat is a chq within 30 days. The problem with contacting Virgin Media by phone or online when you are a former customer chasing a refund is that it is difficult to get past your security checking if it's an old a/c.

  @DenniGlaves @pokemondealsuk This is 100% the issue. Ive tested it. I recently switched WiFi providers from Virgin Media to Grain Connect which is 1 of the newer FTTP providers that have been rolling out true fibre across the UK. Now im getting this message everytime.

  @entrustTMF @virginmedia BT are woeful too. Over 20 years of misery at 2 different premises. Starlink now - exceptional in every way except for one 3hr occasion with a world wide outage. AMZN also getting into satellite broadband soon. US extreme tech beating UK cables buried in the ground !

  Day EIGHT of my complete broadband outage with @virginmedia 😡 However there IS hope. Today an engineer from them is supposed to be arriving-so trying to be positive What a complete nightmare of an experience this has been, so I'm REALLY hoping this will be the turning point🤞
