@virginmedia No known issues. It’s only wireless speeds. There is no excuse for this, it happens to me almost everyday. I would like to discuss it with someone as I tried at the weekend and was completely fobbed off by your service team. I pay nearly £50 a month and often have to use my 4G

@danielpwood1 @virginmedia I don’t have a regional accent so am normally easily understood, I’m also very patient, enjoy speaking to the Indian guys about cricket, but tonight it was unprofessional and my near thirty years service to VM in all it’s guises rendered irrelevant

@virginmedia There seems to be a network problem. The box had a green light flashing. Our phones & iPads are connect but the sky boxes don’t seem to be. Can I DM you please

@virginmedia That's all well and good but you have insisted we update our box or it will not work, your website link is not working, text service and chat not responding and your telephone advisor insists I buy a new service whilst your letter states its free! Not paying more for less!!

@virginmedia what was my TiVo box meant to be updating. I woke in the night to find it on and the screen saying it was updating software, don't switch off. I rang 151 to find out, but the automatic system said there was an issue and sent a restart pulse 1/2

@RevDubbleD @virginmedia Absolutely appalling service today. The attitude of the people I dealt with was staggering for a customer centric organisation.

@virginmedia It’s difficult to articulate in a tweet but speaking to someone in an offshore contact centre who has a very poor grasp of English is extremely frustrating. There is no malice in this, it’s just a statement of fact, I couldn’t make myself understood, it took 4 calls and 75 mins.

@virginmedia £20 a month 'existing customer' penalty on the best you can offer me Vs the best new customer deal is just too much, afraid that's a cancellation from a 10 years loyal customer. £240 is a lot of money!

Cancelled @virginmedia Starplayz subscription as they have no channel number and no app to search for programmes! Crazy and call centre staff don’t understand why this is a problem. Don’t waste £5 a month.

@virginmedia My Internet is COMPLETELY down for the 4th time in a month. OL16 area. Your service is worse than bloody talk talks. Internet speeds are also going downhill lately. ******* disgraceful company. I've no idea how you can take hardworking peoples money for such a shoddy service.

@virginmedia I did. 3 calls to be precise. There seems to be a tech issue on your end which keeps hanging up on callers....I can't afford to lose any more hours, so I've resorted to writing a letter instead. Thanks.

@novahob @davidball74 @virginmedia Same here in all the years I've been with VM I've only had 2 major problems and my download speeds have always been near and more often more than I pay for

@virginmedia Can’t login to my online account, won’t recognise my username or password. I’d appreciate if someone called me. THIS IS MORE THAN FRUSTRATING, haven’t had a functioning line/network since Thursday, I’ve spent £35 calling that expensive number from other lines

@virginmedia You have not been able to help me in anyway. THE ONLINE ACCOUNT LOGIN & CREATION user journey IS ASKING FOR AREA NUMBER AND I DOnt KNOW WHAT THAT IS, I’m a mobile customer, not home phone. This is terrible service from @virginmedia

@virginmedia So an issue has been logged now. It’s saying fix at 9:30pm. How do I claim compensation? As this is down I will have to use my phone as a hot spot which is very costly. I have a wired connection with Virgin so expect my internet to be running at all times

@virginmedia There’s apparently an issue with broadband in KT20 - However, I can’t seem to register the loss of service or get the status updates to my phone via the site - can you help with that ?

@virginmedia Sorry about this. I am slowed down as I have found that Sky owns Now and Now advertises during the Farage show on GB News. I cannot use a firm which directly supports arguments against the RNLI and by implication supports the drowning of refugees.
