  • nikamusik NiKA TORi (@nikamusik) reported

    @virginmedia @Ofcom , how is it OK for a major broadband provider to leave a customer with zero service for 10+ days and no real answers??

  • nikamusik NiKA TORi (@nikamusik) reported

    @virginmedia Day 10 without broadband, @virginmedia. No fix, no explanation, no timeline. This isn’t just poor service—it’s negligence! I’m reviewing my rights under consumer law & preparing a formal complaint. How can you sell a service you clearly can’t deliver?

  • kstvtn9nss Kate Sampson (@kstvtn9nss) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve just fled a DV situation and am in a refuge. I need to change my number and provider, and have no money to load it. Can u help pls?

  • mySUPERkate Kate Hendo (@mySUPERkate) reported

    @virginmedia so many internet issues in the last week! What’s going on? Your status website doesn’t show anything?!

  • GARyan86 gazza86 (@GARyan86) reported

    @virginmedia broadband has been awful for a year now and then charge me 20 pounds for someone to come out and not fix it lol. Will definitely be moving provider

  • k22jbc cashydablue (@k22jbc) reported

    @virginmedia are you having any issues with Netflix ? I have somebody else’s profile in a different language when I try to access my account

  • vinnytag Vince Tagliarini (@vinnytag) reported

    @virginmedia can someone please tell me what’s going on in EN7 area completely lost all broadband and TV services ? I’ve tried everything but not working can someone @virginmedia please let me know or update me as I work from home and is very problematic

  • _90s_footyicons 🛡 iconic90'sfootball 🛡 (@_90s_footyicons) reported

    @virginmedia Far too regularly this happens, it is quite possibly the worst service ever but I think you know that already

  • _90s_footyicons 🛡 iconic90'sfootball 🛡 (@_90s_footyicons) reported

    @virginmedia Any danger of getting services back up in the TS19 area, must be 5th or 6th time we've had this in the last week, absolutely terrible service but fair enough you just keep popping them prices up, already messaged ofcom about the quality of service

  • MrAngryPantz 🅰️♑↩️®️📧📈 (@MrAngryPantz) reported

    @virginmedia Kind of missed the bit where I can’t use an ntlworld email address as my login…..

  • jsummers71 John Summers MBCS (@jsummers71) reported

    @virginmedia Ok. Today any 3rd party DNS has failed, so forced to switch back to Virgin Media DNS. So no DNS security or privacy features (DNSSEC, DoT, DoH) because you don't support them. Rather than asking for screenshots how about telling your network team to get involved?

  • WaynesWorld20_ Wayne (@WaynesWorld20_) reported

    @virginmedia This doesn’t help me at all I’ve had to miss a day of work already, and apparently need to miss two more with no knowledge of when this will be fixed. It also isn’t intermittent. There is no service at all.

  • bigkie654492320 big kie (@bigkie654492320) reported

    @virginmedia outage reported at 12:30pm estimated to be fixed by 4:06pm repair only started at 5:00pm now estimated to be fixed after 9pm quite pathetic not being able to repair on time or keep customers updated

  • Carolin73725846 Caroline (@Carolin73725846) reported

    @virginmedia my Internet is gone - killinarden area D24 since lunchtime today.. nothing on the outages checker. Is there an outage?

  • officialrobert0 Robert Smith (@officialrobert0) reported

    @virginmedia just to let you keep that i am looking at different internet and i want to cancel Because i have officially had enough i cant keep putting up with intermittent faults every month and basically it never getting fixed and lag and disconnecting

  • Gazlfc2011 Gaz Williams (@Gazlfc2011) reported

    @virginmedia can you confirm if there has been an outage today. My wifi has dropped off several times between 09:00 - 17:00. Wigan area

  • userhasaname1 userhasaname (@userhasaname1) reported

    @virginmedia The date for the fix has moved 2 days forward that's almost a week without broadband now...

  • SarahLooker4 SarahL💚 (@SarahLooker4) reported

    @FootittAnt @virginmedia @TomGaymor That's why I always add on 3 hours extra as virgin media can be awful sometimes

  • TheNatarandall Nata ✨ (@TheNatarandall) reported

    @virginmedia genuinely might have some of the worst customer service in the whole of the UK. Internet completely down, called their support line only to be told "Nothing we can do, earliest we can do anything about it is Wednesday". Time to switch internet providers me thinks

  • Smhumm Scott (@Smhumm) reported

    Hey @virginmedia my remote's voice control isn't working and hasn't been for a few days. Tried doing an online chat but it won't connect to an agent. Can you help?

  • BostinLad Martin (@BostinLad) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks, check the service tool regularly, I strongly suspect the fault wasn’t cleared but showed as fixed to ensure compensation wasn’t paid out, as now we have constant intermittent loss of service with no due fix date. Time for an VM engineer to come out.

  • Gmcswineyyy gerardmcswiney (@Gmcswineyyy) reported

    @virginmedia There was an outage in my area it's now working .

  • _aquaflexboy_ aquaflexboy (@_aquaflexboy_) reported

    @virginmedia do you really think im going to upgrade my package by speaking to someone in a foreign call centre with poor English and I can hardly understand.

  • Kimsfeatures Kim Jones (@Kimsfeatures) reported

    @virginmedia it’s impossible to talk to a customer advisor. Instead I’m taken through options which don’t answer my question. My internet is down and I want to speak to someone about it. What number will get me through to a person

  • brownjason42 Jason Brown (@brownjason42) reported

    @virginmedia When I signed up to Virgin 2 months ago I agreed some discounts that have not been applied so am paying more than agreed. The online chat just doesn't understand what in saying. Thanks for your help.

  • Geraint_1966 Cadmus (@Geraint_1966) reported

    @virginmedia urgh gee thanks a bunch, its not as if I pointed out that service checker gives customer bugger all info as to when the service yhey pay for, will be restored.

  • mickharkin68531 mick harkin (@mickharkin68531) reported

    @nikamusik @virginmedia I would expect so much more from a business broadband service

  • BostinLad Martin (@BostinLad) reported

    Hi @virginmedia we have no since 1620hrs 15.6.25 I’ve had 4 message as below say it’s fixed, it is not, can you please advise when it’s likely to be working? “Virgin Media Outage Update - ID: F011864961 We're pleased to tell you this issue is now fixed. Best wishes, VM team” thx

  • Grahamthecabbie Graham Long (@Grahamthecabbie) reported

    @virginmedia just checked my bank account and you’ve helped yourselves to £186 for no reason or at least without explanation! Going to cancel my contract and elsewhere. Disgraceful!

  • Geraint_1966 Cadmus (@Geraint_1966) reported

    @virginmedia TS26 Internet down again, CCTV down, alexa down, smart home lighting down, usual "we're Sorry " crap on service status, no indication when you will fix it, what a bloody shitshow of a company.
