    @virginmedia I don't need for this, how i told the problem not in my house. There is the problem, there is the postcode, the rest is your job

    Guy Rushworth (@dreadedwhisky) reported from York, England

    @EE There’s a distinct possibility that I’ll be switching services in the imminent future. The help from @virginmedia has been laughable. However, having spent £10 to top up the EE SIM card and then finding out I can’t contact your customer support because it costs 25p extra is rich.

    Email from @virginmedia saying my bill going up by £3 a month when I’ve had zero service for 28 hours and counting and no service for 10 days of the last month!! Great!

    @virginmedia getting so sick of having to deal with you. Raised a complaint in August had one missed call in August and a letter in September saying you would get it touch only to be told you are now closing the complaint cause I haven’t spoke to you..... seriously this is a joke

    Dry weather: good internet service Rain: internet fails Rain stops: internet back up again @virginmedia “Our service is working fine.”

    I’ve never had a heartbroken ex (my last was over 30 years ago and it took her months to notice I’d gone) but I imagine it’s a similar experience to leaving @virginmedia - suddenly they’re attentive and concerned, and won’t stop asking me why I left. Bit late for that now, love.

    Spent over an hour trying to work out why I have no internet. @virginmedia app tells me all fine in my area, the my router must be turned off. Yet the lights are on everything is connected to it. Just no internet coming through #WTF #FFS #VirginMedia #IJustWantedToWatchGoodOmens

  • dreadedwhisky
    Guy Rushworth (@dreadedwhisky) reported from York, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for the response. As far as I’m aware I can’t text you so you can run diagnostics. I also can’t call you free. As my phone won’t connect with your network all of a sudden. The phone is fine as the SIM card I had to buy to keep working is having no issues.

    @virginmedia Yeah, it said same to me as well, but the problem not in my house. I said : nobody has internet connection who use virgin media in the street! I asked them!

    @virginmedia Not good enough! I cannot work from home for 28 days with this service! Why should I pay for this? @VirginMediaCorp @schuelel. Would appreciate someone dealing with my issues.

    @virginmedia Hi. How does an existing customer upgrade from a Tivo box to a 360? I can't find the option anywhere on my online account!

  • adam7485
    Adam Thompson (@adam7485) reported from York, England

    @virginmedia 1 of 2. I’ve spent 52 minutes on the phone, spoke to 3 different people which means security 3 times. Managed to log a complaint as my service has been down since the 16th. My contact runs out in Feb so I asked about lowering from the 200mb as I won’t be home much in the new year

    Charlotte Murray (@CharleyBeene) reported from Copmanthorpe, England

    @virginmedia 50 minutes on the phone. 6 operatives. Nobody can tell me when the fibre will be fixed. First today. Then Monday. Then the 17th. Then the 22nd. Then the 17th again. Like I said - a shambles. Service cancelled. @Ofcom @bt_uk @SkyMediaUK #hitmeup

    @virginmedia Have you any current problems in the YO30 area ? My broadband keeps going off and has done for around a week now. Getting through to your support line is almost impossible. Been a customer of yours since you started. Please advise !

  • yorker_old
    Nathan (@yorker_old) reported from York, England

    @virginmedia Yes done all the checks. I would not be able to get 50mb down load if it was not set up. Upload is 0.5mb. Can be intermittent also. Help!

    Paul Whiting (@IamPaulWhiting) reported from York, England

    @virginmedia It’s been a struggle to check; with no internet… however it first said that there were no issues and now saying it will be out until 3pm. So; a little concerned it will be off and on all day whilst trying to work. Are you able to confirm?

    Barrie J Stephenson (@barstep) reported from York, England

    @virginmedia But you are judged by the level of service you actually provide - we all aim high but @virginmedia has missed the mark 12960 minutes!!!

    @virginmedia Hi so yeah your router will not connect to my pc or laptop unless it physically connected (meaning I had to buy my own Ethernet over power kit) also my TV set top box has been spotty ever since we moved here. The complaint was to see if I can get some form of compensation for the

    @alan_reddish @virginmedia Day 34 here. And no proper answers such as whether any engineers have actually been out to try to fix things. Just stock answers from the @virginmedia script.

  • ExpanseCon
    Expanse Consulting Ltd (@ExpanseCon) reported

    @MikeScheider_ Not a vodafone issue. Looks like a core switch failure, optical cross-connect fault or other fault inside one of the central carrier-neutral hubs. It has dropped interconnection across multiple fixed ISPs (Virgin Media, Eir, Siro, NBI) simultaneously.

  • MarinaRobb
    Marina Robb (@MarinaRobb) reported

    @MelJanie @virginmedia Tellingly, the engineer who eventually came out (I'd already cancelled the service) said they still had to fit the back up line as they'd been fined £28 million by the regulator. Appalling customer service though.

    @virginmedia @_JIMBO55 What do I do with your faulty equipment. I will soon be cancelling your awful service and requesting a refund for the period without service. Should I involve my barrister or will you sort this out.

    @LPXIOP Virgin media customer here, had the same, got a letter they disconnecting the telephone line their end and told us to connect the landline phone to the internet modem with different cable. It worked first time. Copper lines being phased out in favour of VoIP.

    @virginmedia I have recently closed by Broadband account. I returned your equipment on 25th August 2026. I have an in-post receipt. However, your email is no reply & there is no contact phone number for customer service? I am now getting further emails about returning this!

    Stephen Maddock (@stephenm68) reported

    Day 35 of absolutely no services from @virginmedia and no useful information about when/if the outage in our area will ever get fixed. Let’s hope that @guardian Consumer Champions will look into this - I’ve just written to them. @Ofcom
