  • SCHchauffeur Southampton Chauffeur (@SCHchauffeur) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia It is no good stating what we already know - ‘We are aware of a problem and our engineers are working to resolve it’ BUT what is the problem AND what is the time scale for resuming service. Keep customers informed!

  • LisaMFricker Lisa Fricker (@LisaMFricker) reported from Southampton, England

    @andyphilp @virginmedia I agree, the service lately from @virginmedia is disgraceful and we all deserve a refund

    @virginmedia service down again. Been up and down in SO19 since January. Your website has 'oops broken link'on service status page.Cannot get any work done. Very tired of paying a lot of money for such poor service.

  • _euanito 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 (@_euanito) reported from Southampton, England

    Virgin media wifi down all across the country. Ironically, they've ****** everyone 😔

  • 76chappers Milton Chapman (@76chappers) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia Constant problems are forcing me to reconsider my services. #fail #virginmedia #wifiblackout

  • SupaScouse53 Paul M. Farmer (@SupaScouse53) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia @Darrenski My internet is also down & has been for quite a while. I phoned the number you refer to about 30 mins ago & it said there wasn’t a problem in my area. So what’s happening.

  • bertrum Neil B (@bertrum) reported from Totton and Eling, England

    @TheRegister looks as if @virginmedia have a major outage affecting most if not all of Hampshire and into Dorset. Status page says all is good but tweets to them indicates otherwise.

  • AlGalpin Al Galpin ➡️ #SuperPod2020 (@AlGalpin) reported from Southampton, England

    Never a good sign when the @virginmedia service status page on their website is broken 😾

  • enkeli85 Clare Old (@enkeli85) reported from Southampton, England

    @sarahharding86 @virginmedia Not helpful when home ill, I was going to watch the network today as well 🤣

  • LisaMFricker Lisa Fricker (@LisaMFricker) reported from Southampton, England

    @andyphilp @virginmedia Had a TV outage last week where the picture was all interference. But yes I agree the speed is never what we pay for.

  • SupaScouse53 Paul M. Farmer (@SupaScouse53) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia Hi John/Virgin Media I can grudgingly accept service issues but I can’t accept poor Customer Service advice, e.g. going on My Virgin Media & constantly being told there isn’t a service problem. Thanks for update at last. Paul

  • ie_guitars Ian Easton (@ie_guitars) reported from Upper Clatford, England

    @virginmedia your broadband service is a disgrace.

  • ie_guitars Ian Easton (@ie_guitars) reported from Upper Clatford, England

    @virginmedia Hi - I have done this and it doesn’t work. The broadband has been down since midnight and there seems to be thousands of other people with the same issue. It looks to be a fault your end. Please instigate a fix.

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Nicklsb Steven Nicklas (@Nicklsb) reported

    @virginmedia Cancelled I believe. Engineer turned up to advise the contractor hadn't actually done the work they were supposed to and that to install the appropriate cable would require neighbours permission and at least 8 weeks wait. How do I cancel my contract?

  • gooseyboy123 G (@gooseyboy123) reported

    @virginmedia Over the phone. I’ve been lied to and mis informed repeatedly. I’m sick and tired of dealing with this. It’s exhausting. It’s getting to the point I’m going to cancel the DD and see you in court.6/8 weeks of nothing but problems and broken promises. Still have a tv that don’t wrk

  • peterhammond127 Peter Hammond (@peterhammond127) reported

    Hi @virginmedia @VirginMedia_TV How do you cancel a Pending Contract that was mis-sold and not wanted?

  • QGeeDev QGee (@QGeeDev) reported

    @virginmedia No, it’s just your hub throttling in modem mode. My internal network has tested at over 200mbps, your router gets the speeds promised in router mode, but when using modem mode, I get this.

  • emma64979643 emma-kvs (@emma64979643) reported

    @virginmedia Not a word fro Yourselves until I called you!! Disgusting service as always and I pay you £150 a month….

  • mellotronanism Ed of everywhere (@mellotronanism) reported

    @virginmedia It might help if that was spelled out somewhere.

  • Waheed67457074 Waheed (@Waheed67457074) reported

    @virginmedia Hi there... Sorry I'm at work, but because the problem has been ongoing, for example it's been intermittent throughout since 2pm, I have booked an engineer to visit us on Saturday.

  • NinaBoston Nina Boston 🇺🇦 (@NinaBoston) reported

    @virginmedia there appear to be issues with the Internet connection yet again in LU2 not for the first time of late Any idea when it'll be fixed for good?

  • masonp69 Paul Mason (@masonp69) reported

    @virginmedia So engineer came round, apparently found fault outside and said will be back n left.. nothing since.. service from Virgin Media is terrible. Have also contact via WhatsApp but that’s about as much use as a chocolate fireguard Just left in limbo now..

  • jordanairwave Jordan Haines (@jordanairwave) reported

    @virginmedia guess what. The broadband is down again. Can I have some money off my bill please?
