  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

  V-Bull (@VanceBulla) reported 4 minutes ago from Brampton Bierlow, England

  @virginmedia Faceless customer service. Can’t live chat, can’t chat to anyone on the phone. All they want to do is send you a text or a link to their website. Poor. What am I paying for? Certainly isn’t customer service

  Adam Hutt 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@SBOmad) reported 5 minutes ago from Swinton, England

  @virginmedia Broadband went back down for me around 16:30 and no internet etc and like others your website is still failing

• 
  Alison Pearson (@pearson_alison) reported 5 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

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

• 
  The Churchill (@Churchill0782) reported 11 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.

  @vmbusinesshelp @vmbusiness Thanks. The 4G backup not working since the service was installed

  @virginmedia Oh yes and I’ve phoned. It appears to be that yesterday’s problems haven’t been resolved.

  GiinaGii 🐱🌿 (@giinagii) reported 23 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia So you're telling me to be without stable /any Internet for at least 3-5 days and that is okay and acceptable? No. We work from home. You need to fix this.

  Chirpy Frances (@chirpyfrances) reported 34 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  Been through 16 mths of lockdown, 3 working from home & hardly a glitch on the broadband. Last 8wks its gone down for several minutes a day between 10am and 1pm. Only on weekdays & its supposed to be a problem with our hub, really? An engineer could find it @virginmedia #shoddy

  Paul David Phillips (@paul_phillips83) reported 36 minutes ago from Barnsley, England

  @virginmedia been on hold 15 minutes your agent been back to me yet again same telling me I have to pay extra why do virgin think that if you charge extra this will fix an issue #badcustomerservice actually get it right first time to stop repeat calls

• 
  Michael Collinson (@Mcollinson72) reported 37 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  Slow glad to be moving from @virginmedia broadband this Friday. Their advertised speeds used to be unparalleled but since FTTP alternatives becoming available their appalling level of service and refusal to acknowledge or deal with faults has forced a once loyal customer

•

  Oliver Dean #TeamLH (@ollieinleeds) reported 59 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

  Rebecca Cook 🇬🇧 (@rjcook15) reported 5 minutes ago

  @PeteUK7 @virginmedia I feel your pain - I’m having trouble with @BritishGasHelp who have even sent an apology addressed to my deceased mother and the man I spoke to couldn’t understand why I was so upset and that it had taken me 10 days to ring and try and explain

• 
  Lawrence Landray (@Glawsloz) reported 10 minutes ago

  How about you supply the service I’m paying you for instead @virginmedia I now can’t have an engineer until 1st June so no Internet until

• 
  O2 (@O2) reported 14 minutes ago

  @kimerthywoo Hi it's us from Virgin Media O2. Sorry to hear your having this issue. If possible could you send us a screenshot of the error you are getting over a private chat, so we can look into this for you.

• 
  Heppo (@neilheppen) reported 15 minutes ago

  @virginmedia @GeoffJonners Why should that matter. An existing customers should be offered the same renewal deal whether online or by speaking to an agent. But of course that's not the case - and even the online renewal offer goes up or down every couple of days. Time the regulators got to grips with it.

• 
  Lola Viscera (@lola_viscera) reported 16 minutes ago

  @virginmedia this is STILL happening after months my phone number has been incorrectly linked to somebody else’s account and i’m continuing to receive repeated phone calls, payment warnings, suspension notices and account messages intended for another customer despite repeatedly reporting it how has this still not been resolved?

• 
  Mark vix (@Vikk3rs146) reported 21 minutes ago

  @virginmedia all my emergency buttons are on Virgin and its all been offline since yesterday.

• 
  KD (@unknownkd99) reported 23 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Any reason an engineer hadn't managed to fix our internet issue and instead delayed the fix estimate twice now leaving us without internet for 2 weeks and trying to charge us £700 to leave when your not providing your service?

  @PeteUK7 @virginmedia I recently had British Gas apologise for not carrying out my mother's boiler service. She died in 2020.
