Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • billosmond bill osmond (@billosmond) reported

    Having real problems with @virginmedia at the moment. Despite repeated calls and tweets nothing seems to be improving the situation. Very frustrating #virginmedia

  • hbpg_ Has Beard, Plays Games (@hbpg_) reported

    @virginmedia No. I am not hauling my desktop downstairs then spending ages to configuring the "Super"hub as a router to run a rest that will tell me what I already know. My infrastructure at home is not the problem.

  • billosmond bill osmond (@billosmond) reported

    @virginmedia When I suggested getting an engineer round to try and mend the problem I was told there is no need as it was being worked on internally. It’s not getting any better.

  • Chetna_K Chetna K (@Chetna_K) reported

    @virginmedia been a whole week since intermittent wifi at home. Tried to call customer service but after a long wait it automatically disconnects. Beyond frustrated just a family trying to work from home and can’t!! 😭

  • Turko73 Ali Ahmet (@Turko73) reported

    @virginmedia I have just been on the phone WhatsApp your agent for almost 5 hours with no resolution. I then decided to call your customer services and 3 people have put me on hold and cancelled my call. This is not good service at all.

  • yepreallynotme Not My Real Name (@yepreallynotme) reported

    @virginmedia So, just so I'm clear. You perform planned maintenance. Fry my hub and then tell me I need to wait a week for you to fix it. I'm working from home. How the hell do you expect me to do this? Your maintenance has caused my loss of Internet and work. An engineer should be sent now.

  • sianhelena_m Sian Milner (@sianhelena_m) reported

    @virginmedia If everytime I call the installations team they can’t help, what do you propose that I do?? At this point I might as well just cancel my contract.

  • themotablogger Masaeb Ahmad (@themotablogger) reported

    @virginmedia every day without fail you super fast #broadband fails. Been with for 12 years and now the service has fallen off a cliff!!’ Why??? #IG2 #ilford

  • baseblade baseblade (@baseblade) reported

    @virginmedia Ok so done the restart, the reset and the site won't let me sign in, keep coming up with ooops times out

  • DandyKatherine KatherineLondon (@DandyKatherine) reported

    @virginmedia I keep being told there are issues affecting my area and they’re being fixed - since April. My next door neighbour is with VM and has no issues. I just want an engineer to visit, after 4 months it’s reasonable to ask.

  • antlakin190589 Antman (@antlakin190589) reported

    @virginmedia Lol if your service checker can't make up its mind, I'm screwed ain't i

  • hbpg_ Has Beard, Plays Games (@hbpg_) reported

    @virginmedia My router and switch can easily reach ~930Mbps, and funnily enough that is the download speed I get when running a speed test. But my upload speed is HALF of what it should be. I assure you, this is a you problem, not a me problem.

  • billosmond bill osmond (@billosmond) reported

    @virginmedia Just called this number and they report no service problems in my area. What a joke

  • rob9_afc Rob (@rob9_afc) reported

    @virginmedia So am I right in saying, if the WiFi goes down so does the TV?

  • billosmond bill osmond (@billosmond) reported

    @virginmedia Still waiting for any sort of improvement. Internet still not working despite claims that it will be working this evening. How much longer @virginmedia

  • dlcox00 david (@dlcox00) reported

    @virginmedia That's why I asking for help.. £300 to end contract... or agree to new contact of £80 a month with it was £49 before...

  • billosmond bill osmond (@billosmond) reported

    @virginmedia I have no idea. The online status says there is no problem in the area. When I called today they said there was a problem in the area. No consistency, no coordination, no improvement. The service is getting worse

  • Destroyerofpiz2 ThePizzawhoknocks (@Destroyerofpiz2) reported

    @virginmedia no wifi let again absolutely disgusting service

  • BigGasson44 Big Gas (@BigGasson44) reported from Awsworth, England

    @virginmedia Well it doesn't work and my 8 kids are off school and can't even use their phones let alone their xboxs

  • MilesMcGowanCS Miles McGowan (@MilesMcGowanCS) reported

    @virginmedia Hi John. I'm not sure of the details but you've attempted twice to move the package to a new address and failed both times for reasons that weren't immediately obvious. This meant we still had an active connection at our old address which was a big problem for the new tenants.

  • Rayjudd7 Rayjudd (@Rayjudd7) reported

    @virginmedia @VirginMediaIE Gone again at 20.58 and yesterday at 22.25 what is wrong with your service?

  • georgieinlondon 𝙂𝙚𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙞𝙚 𝙎𝙢𝙞𝙩𝙝 (@georgieinlondon) reported

    @virginmedia How do we get an engineer out to set up my 85 YO Dads broadband/tv/phone etc for him? Whoever he spoke to on phone said he had to do it himself & gave him loads of internet jargon. Now the tv & house phone don’t work as well as bad internet. Pls help. #virginmedia

  • stevehalluk Steve (@stevehalluk) reported

    @virginmedia I've already checked it says there is no issue. The service we get is disgusting.

  • billosmond bill osmond (@billosmond) reported

    I am the only person in se22 0bb that is having serious issues with @virginmedia the internet and tv services over the last few days have been terrible. Very little help from the technical team just told to reboot and be patient - joke. #virginmedia
