    @virginmedia having issues with connectivity & slow speed. I'm working from home & this is causing me a LOT of stress. I still have targets. Hard to do when the internet is crawling & up & down like a yoyo. Been like this for 2 weeks. Diagnostics say no problem 😥😭

  • gray_h81 Gray H (@gray_h81) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia have got to be the worst network providers ever. 10 times worse than @Sky10mbps which is saying something - 2 months in and haven’t got a clue what they are doing 🤬😡

  • Bwfc1976 Gareth barlow.... (@Bwfc1976) reported from Bolton, England

  • brownpigeon1 Brown Pigeon (@brownpigeon1) reported from Liverpool, England

    @APATBillShep @virginmedia Been blaming my connection problems on knackered laptop in the Swan, but general concensus appears to be that @virginmedia is just crap

  • renzair Renzair (@renzair) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia If your internet service to St. Helens could be anything other than complete dogshit for more than five minutes that’d be swell. Since 7:30 this morning, constant outages of internet service. STILL happening at 16:00. Thanks (for nothing). Again.

  • ndmerc Nick Mercer (@ndmerc) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia customers suffering the usual standard of service from virgin Media again. Denial of service should see customers compensated, customer service appears to be the lowest priority.

  • 2013jamiepep James Pepperd (@2013jamiepep) reported from St Helens, England

    I don't have an ariel or freeview I rely on your piece of shit @virginmedia #VirginMedia

  • Footywirerob Rob Wood (@Footywirerob) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Internet gone down in Warrington, any sign of a fix. Got a frantic 12 year old

  • scottcvrroll Scott Carroll (@scottcvrroll) reported from Liverpool, England

    @JacobAlderHam @virginmedia Shocking isn’t it mate, I’ve not been able to use streaming devices or gaming devices for a few weeks without constant spikes and buffering. I pay for 200 down and receive about 40... so much packet loss. Shambles.

  • Cuttsrich rich cutts (@Cuttsrich) reported from Tyldesley, England

    @virginmedia hi can help please. TV service down with new reinstalled tivo box

  • StewRuns Stew 🏃‍♂️🐐 (@StewRuns) reported from Wigan, England

    Dear @virginmedia the wifi out of your router is ****!

  • ZHaxhifazliu Zeliha Haxhifazliu (@ZHaxhifazliu) reported from Liverpool, England

    @vmbusiness at this current time working from home under so much stress and pressure the last thing you need is your broadband playing up. This is not acceptable we ate paying for a service which is currently nonexistent. Wifi goes down every 5 min. Please can you look into this

  • fraudsterboosh Kevin Burke (@fraudsterboosh) reported from Urmston, England

    @liaml11l @virginmedia @virginmedia please can you confirm if you’ve had known issues with your service in the M41 area over the last 24hours. 3 valued customers here experiencing issues. Many thanks @mattbrown322

  • KathyyyLouiseee Kathy Louise (@KathyyyLouiseee) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I need to speak to someone urgently about Virgin showing a missed payment on my credit history back in August 2018, when I cancelled my internet back in June 2018 (which was made incredibly difficult by poor customer service at the time)

  • 2013jamiepep James Pepperd (@2013jamiepep) reported from St Helens, England

    £1260 per year for a 3rd rate service #VirginMedia

  • HelenLloyd66 Tweety Pie 🐥 (@HelenLloyd66) reported from Chorley, England

  • colinlit colin littlejohns (@colinlit) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Why is broadband so bad @virginmedia please confirm as ypur service is appalling

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • BennyHall17 Benny Hall (@BennyHall17) reported

    @virginmedia Would the pod help boost the wifi? How much would one cost?

  • LordVeitch Lord Veitch (@LordVeitch) reported

    @virginmedia It’s definitely down. It’s been down all afternoon. I’ve tried rebooting, using an Ethernet etc. when will it be fixed

  • emmachammond Emma Hammond (@emmachammond) reported

    @DrDingBat1 @virginmedia It’s certainly unfortunate - I don’t know whether I was just being naive or bloody stupid but I always respected our collective morals- now all I see is corruption, one rule for one, and the blatant disparity between rich and poor the 1% vs 99%

  • adizjapalmer Diz (@adizjapalmer) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you. I haven’t had internet for going on 3 days now so I’m likely to cancel Virgin Media all together. Not because of the outage solely, but because there’s been no communication. Not good enough.

  • RichCass1008 Richard Cassidy (@RichCass1008) reported

    @virginmedia I dont know....Ive had a text stating "Just letting you know that the kit will be with you on null". Can I suggest a solution....send my mum a complimentary mobile phone so she has some form of communication with the outside world

  • PhilWickins Phil Wickins (@PhilWickins) reported

    @AlwaysComputing @virginmedia We left them for toob, after telling them their £62 per month price was too high. On the day of cancellation, they brought it down to £19 per month. Too little too late… makes me so angry that they didn’t do that in the first place.

  • Kidwell2010 James K (@Kidwell2010) reported

    @virginmedia who do I contact for very slow WiFi and no WiFi in certain areas of household

  • wonderbiscut 𝒥𝑜𝒽𝓃 𝒲𝑒𝒷𝒷 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@wonderbiscut) reported

    @virginmedia another day another outage. I get that nothing can run 100% of the time. But this is getting to the incompetent stage.

  • bazzermoth barry moth (@bazzermoth) reported

    Hi @virginmedia I received a text to say our landline telephone service was being switched over to fibre on 5th April, but this hasn’t been done yet. Has the switch over been delayed??
