  @virginmedia awful and aggressive scare tactics from your not so friendly cancellations rep when trying to cancel my service. God help any vulnerable person that tries to do the same thing. Shameful

  @virginmedia That would appear only to relate to your services? I'm not a customer (except via 02).

  @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 I appreciate your advice, but rather than ask fellow customers for a fix I’d rather hope @virginmedia trained staff would be able to rectify this issue. I’ll try the forum, but this is not the way to run a business….@Ofcom

  @O2PriorityUK I’m struggling to connect with app. I’m a @virginmedia account holder. Initial you sent me a code but via my mobile. Now my phone number is placed in the box it doesn’t recognise it. Help?

  @virginmedia I hung up the call, rang back and spoke with a lovely man. Reset my email, password and answered all my quedtions. All the men are when you call, the female was awful. But thank you for the response

  @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

  Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported 46 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

  Claire 💙 (@ClaireWinslade) reported 50 minutes ago from Sheffield, England

  Moved to @virginmedia on Monday and router didn’t come. Then when it came Wednesday the internet wouldn’t connect. After 7 phone calls and an engineer called out it’s still not working 😡 and it seems if you are on hold for too long they just cut you off. So frustrating

  @virginmedia on hold for 40 mins so far just to get you to cancel a service I don't even want 🤬

  Stephen Old #FBPE (@StephenOld) reported 4 minutes ago

  @virginmedia When you upgraded my broadband line you told me to plug my phone into my router. I did that and it stopped working. Your customer service is useless and this tweet is staying public until YOU fix it.

  LiamGM ⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️ (@LiamGM90) reported 4 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Sort this problem you have up and down the country With both broadband and TV Cause it needs to be fix ASAP

  Caz (@Ca33ieKins) reported 6 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Horrendous service! Complete outage all day today. TQ area. No apology. Just the usual standard dialogue. Not acceptable.

• 
  Chris Davis (@cdavo25) reported 6 minutes ago

  @virginmedia WORST Internet Provider iv ever had! Internet breaks takes nearly 2 weeks to fix it and within a week it broke again! And all you get back from customer care is no understanding and promises it will be fixed soon! Absolute joke of a company L

  Jack Ball (@j_ball13) reported 6 minutes ago

  .@virginmedia your bereavement team are a nightmare. We’re trying to transfer account from my deceased parent but we’ve been told we have to immediately cancel within 24 hours? Baring in mind we haven’t got anything else sorted to continue? Is this policy you promote to everyone?

• 
  Joe Duley American voiceover person (@Americanvoiceo1) reported 7 minutes ago

  @virginmedia STILL! Service completely out! No explanation (although app says 'everything is fine') It's deceiving info. No BB OR phone/TV. CAN'T ring customer service-at all. Now, my life's mission is to escalate w/CISAS as #Virginmedia is costing me financially/professionally.

  @virginmedia how long is this broadband outage in sm1? It’s been ongoing for the whole day

  Jon Pitts (@briavelsjon) reported 18 minutes ago

  @SmithyWFC85 @bigsul72 I have access to HBO via my Virgin Media subscription, but don't want to view via an app - that's kinda my point. Sky Sports red button is truly excellent, TNT's isn't bad but is sat unused.

It remains on Freeview (for now) but is said to be suffering financial problems.
