  @virginmedia And our Internet is down again this morning! So because its intermittent we don't get compensation, tried to call, can't get through (have to do it on mobile, our 'landline' is now internet reliant!)

  Hi @virginmedia, I’m trying to order some pods to sort out my truly shocking Wi-Fi, but can’t work out how to do so. Please could you help me?

• 
  Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported 13 minutes ago from St Helens, England

  @virginmedia Yes, this has been going on now for months. Was just on to your team to cancel, they hung up on me. I’ve never known a more woeful service. They are quick enough to take payment every month for a service I’m not getting.

  @virginmedia my interest been down for a whole week. Call centre staff don't know what to say. An engineer has been on site every single day apparently. Can someone fix my internet. I pay £52 a month this is beyond a joke. I've used all my 4g& bought a ****** dongle just to WFH

  BeanBolt (@BeanBolt) reported 30 minutes ago from Southport, England

  Tenth issue in FOUR months now with @virginmedia. They've seemed to have stopped replying to my direct messages now. @WeAreOpenreach @bt_uk how long until you're newly installed lines in my area are activated and ready?

  🪷Elisabet🪷 (@Elisabet0490) reported 31 minutes ago from Blackburn, England

  @virginmedia my internet has been suffering drop outs all day, now I have no working TV or internet. Being told it's my equipment when it never is, it's getting old that excuse. I will apparently have to wait 3 days for "an engineer to come out" - I can't I have to go to work 😤

• 
  Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported 41 minutes ago from St Helens, England

  @jenwahkiddles @virginmedia Pity they didn’t do it for us, had no tv or broadband for over 3 months and can’t even get the compensation they owe us, plus the direct debits they took knowing we had total loss of service. Shambolic company.

  kevin.james (@pillbo01) reported 43 minutes ago from Bolton, England

  I have virgin media but they don’t have a Customer service that you can speak to. Or email I’ve had a problem for over a month since an engineer messed about in the box in the street. Picture on tv keeps pixilated.

• 
  Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported 46 minutes ago from Westhoughton, England

  @virginmedia I seem to be the first one to report them, still saying intermittent problems in my area. Can't get to speak to anyone on phone, I rely on the Internet.

  Ian Hawksey (@ShanklyBob77) reported 52 minutes ago from Aintree Village, England

  Absolute nightmare trying to watch @SkySportsF1 on my phone because of how poor @virginmedia are especially since merging with @o2, used to just put email and password in, now going around in circles with same message asking me to verify email link and switch, very poor practice.

  Kevin Dudson (@Duddydudson) reported 54 minutes ago from Wigan, England

  @NigelJTurner @virginmedia Same for me, I can cancel or change my package by the 28th of march then get a 19% increase on my new package on the 1st of April. Only had my contract 5 months.being **** Turpind here!!!

  Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported 56 minutes ago from Atherton, England

  @virginmedia my internet has been down since Friday afternoon. I was told it would be fixed in 24 hours, the time has since changed and is currently at 8pm this evening. I work from home so need my internet back up and running before Monday morning. This is disgraceful

THEN HERES PROOF THAT COMPANY ARE A BUNCH OF CRUEL UNETHICAL IMMORAL SCAMMERS YOU DONT THINK IF THEY CAPABLE OF DOING THIS TO THEIR CUSTOMERS WHAT THEY CAPABLE OF DOING TO A WOMAN THEY HATE AND NO DOUBT JEALOUS OF here’s some confirmed validated real evidence NOT THEM BEING FRAMED that the staff at Virgin media call centres were all pardoned allowed to scam MILLIONS of their customers Here is proof Copied and pasted from Google please refer to articles in the press that confirm this what I’ve tweeted here If you think moral decent people do this to their customers scamming them in a cruel cold way SEEK JESUS  Virgin Media was fined a record £28 million by Ofcom in July 2026 for deliberately making it difficult for customers to cancel their contracts and switch to rival providers. Investigation Findings The regulatory investigation covered calls made between January 1, 2022, and September 11, 2024. Ofcom found that MILLIONS of customer service interactions were mishandled to prevent or delay cancellations. Specific tactics included: • Deliberately dropping or hanging up calls when customers asked to cancel. Putting callers on hold for no reason to frustrate them Excessive and unnecessary call transfers between departments. Using a two-tier retention system where only specific agents were allowed to process final cancellations. THIS LOT ARE CONFIRMED CRUEL SCAMMERS

  @nicolatallant Nicola...with your experience in investigative journalism you should be all over this! I have never heard of such widespread corruption. You know what should be done here. Do the right thing. Ask the questions.... Start with the Shilling report...or how about the fact there is NO PULSE RECORD for #MrP regarding the allegations and subsequent harrassment of #MrP. The enablement and cheek turning is disgusting. Do your job. @rtenews @virginmedia
