  @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

  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 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?!

  @KevEdwardsRetro I've been with them for years (Yorkshire Cable before that) but changed to the @vmbusiness service to get 4G backup only to find that it doesn't work when their device is in modem mode. Unable to get through to them though - worst support/customer service I've ever experienced

• 
  Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reported 34 minutes ago from Wakefield, England

  @virginmedia I do need assistance over why the 4G backup didn't kick in when I had an outage last week but I've raised that with you already, I hope

  @calvg @virginmedia Thank you 🙏 Stop blaming us and be responsible for your crap connections

  Andrew Lee (@goonie2008) reported 40 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  @virginmedia @O2 Its definitely you lot Robin as your broadband service was a disgrace when I moved to you and I had to pay out for cancelling contract early. If this is what’s to come O2 then you will a customer of over 15 years.

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

  @virginmedia you are aware that a lot of older, more vulnerable people have had alarm and safety devices installed that depend on a safe, fast, reliable service. The one that they, like, you know pay a lot of money for

• 
  GiinaGii 🐱🌿 (@giinagii) reported 42 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.

  @PaulbernalUK @virginmedia I can’t help with that. Good luck.

  GW 🔰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@GW_Mktg) reported 6 minutes ago

  @O2 terrible signal in my own home. @virginmedia have let me down (yet again) so no WiFi equals no use of phone. Long-standing client and not really feeling that benefit. Started a DM conversation which went dead. Please help

• 
  Jon | The Cogges Gardener (@coggesgardener) reported 7 minutes ago

  Hi @virginmedia How do I stop receiving calls from your marketing department? I must be getting at least one weekly, tell them to stop & block the number, yet they keep coming. Can you help please? 🙏

  Brett Williams (@brettwill82) reported 9 minutes ago

  @LFCTV why is your tv guide not working on virgin media ?

• 
  Eternal Elneny (@eternalelneny) reported 11 minutes ago

  @virginmedia With all due respect, the engineers have been there all day, I saw two of them having a 40 minute lunch break at 10am at Greggs. Can you push these engineers to get this completed today? Compensation isn’t a valid response to not being able to work - ridiculous service

• 
  Filer (@FilerPlays) reported 14 minutes ago

  @MachineGunLuk3y @virginmedia Majority’s of the ISP’s in my area run off the BT network so I’ve got fibre to the property with about 1GB down. I’ve had Virgin before and didn’t rate it, had issues similar to yourself as well mate.

• 
  SPAHCRAB (@spahcrab) reported 18 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I'm already planning on cancelling my service. This must be a speed run record as I haven't even plugged in the router, nor received the damn thing.

• 
  T D (@TD2485104094239) reported 18 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I'm quite amazed. I was trying to join Virgin Media, but met a service so bad, so unhelpful, that I cancelled before I even managed to get anything installed. Impressive! It's a first for me to be honest. Never again.

• 
  Monica Allan (@MonicaAllan1) reported 20 minutes ago

  @virginmedia It look like our outage in NW1 will be fixed by the 31st August? Surely that cannot be correct? We have have been without broadband and TV for 3 days now?

  Ali Dalton (@alidalton) reported 20 minutes ago

  In 2017 I was the first designer at a UK fintech startup now valued at $100m+, with 500+ employees across 60 countries. It was just me, two founders, and two others in a room in London. The work wasn't a redesign. It was branding and the early flows for a payments platform. Nobody in that room called it design strategy. It was five people deciding how the product should work before there was a product. Then I spent almost a decade in the corporate world. Citibank, Mercedes, NatWest, Virgin Media. Products used by 50M+ people. £11M NPV on one project. That world taught me systems thinking, rigour, how to make a decision that survives fifteen stakeholders and a compliance review. It also taught me that six months to ship a signup flow is not a law of physics. It's a byproduct of the org chart. Most funded founders assume those two things come as a package. That if you want big company craft you have to accept big company timelines. You don't. The thinking travels. The process doesn't have to. I didn't leave because the work was bad. It was the best training I could have asked for. I left because I wanted the room of five again. Take everything those companies taught me and run it my way. No six week kickoff. No deck to justify a deck. A way founders can actually work with. So I started my studio last year. 5+ projects since across Fintech, publishing, agri-tech, and two founders launching their brands from zero. It's graft. But it's my graft now. If you're funded, building, and the product works but the numbers don't - that's the exact problem I spend my days on.
