    @virginmedia Hi, will this continued investment mean finally getting signal in my area? It’s a central area and the signal is awful. Thanks

    @virginmedia They’ve been today apparently to do the repull and nothing has changed. Still no service. I won’t be paying this month as I’m not paying for nothing.

    When will I be able to go just one single day without @virginmedia failing, cannot wait until next year when the contract is over, increase the bills but reduce the service to next to nothing?

    @virginmedia So I had loss of service but not complete even tho the service I had wasn't enough to even complete a 15 minute online training. Great. Even though you only have cold water, would you still get a bath? Nah don't think you would

    @virginmedia All internet is down, wireless and wired; the hub light is white and it’s a Hub 3.0.

    @virginmedia I never expected any engineer, because I'm aware it's an outage that affects a lot of people. But your CS responses could be a lot better.

    @virginmedia what’s going on virgin no tv since Friday morning told 5th now 6th no messages nothing paying for nothing compensation rates garbage nothing should take this long with a company like virgin L4 area

    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia Nobody can help me, they just keep asking for patience. They’ve had since august to fix it. It’s unacceptable.

    @virginmedia If my bill went down with my speed, I wouldn't mind.

  • tuite_liz
    Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia See thread above, nothing changes except the time of the estimated fix. It must be very localised as not everyone in my area is affected. So if it is damaged cables, I haven’t seen anyone out repairing them over the weekend, it’s a joke

  • andrewjmcgill
    Andy McGill (@andrewjmcgill) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia I have been without broadband all day, a day after you sent me a letter about price increases, an increase for what, even poorer service!!!!

  • lurkinhead
    Martin Travis (@lurkinhead) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia There's no point raising a complaint is there, as you won't comprnsate? Other reputable oroviders offer a back-up 4 or 5g device to kick in if their main broadband goes down, to keep the service running. Not VM though - it's just all really poor customer service innit?

    @virginmedia is honestly the worst company for WiFi

    @virginmedia why the hell has my Internet been intermittent for over a week and after today was supposed to be the “fix” date, it’s now updated to say next week? Literally can’t work due it dropping out. Imagine there’s no compensation for you turning to **** though, hey?

  • MrBazza

    @O2 I have 3 mobile lines alongside volt package @VirginMedia broadband and an open complaint about contract rates. Your app is quoting me much more than what I currently pay! With Volt double data, I only need a low base plan. Please DM me to sort a fair deal.

    @306notout @virginmedia @VodafoneUK Shame you've not got Connect Fibre Matt (UK call centre), just moved to them with 1Gb up and down, and going over to Sky Ultra for TV in a couple of weeks - I know its not always about money, but £50 less per month is worth it.

    @SwanGirlH @virginmedia Im having the same issues Hayley. Spoke to Virgin today and tried a factory reset but to no avail. Got a technician coming out to try and sort it tomorrow.

    Trina S 💙 (@BrownEyedGirlGB) reported

    By December 2025 @virginmedia ongoing service monitoring determined I needed a free hub to stabilise connection. Lost track of how often internet has gone down for few minutes or so then come back. However, in last month it has been out for hours 3 times. 2/?

    @virginmedia WHY DO YOUR CONTRACTORS NEVER SHOW UP?! 3 WEEKS OF NO BROADBAND AT THIS POINT AND NO SIGN OF ANYONE FIXING IT BECAUSE YOUR STAFF DONT TURN UP

    @virginmedia I have a Virgin TV V6 Box with lots of tivo recordings. I received an email today stating that I need to upgrade as my v6 service will stop soon. Please advise when, so I can plan ahead. Thanks.

    @virginmedia any reason why I can't get gig2 as a gig1 customer? Is it only available to new customers? Ridiculous if so. Postcode checker says it's available on my postcode if I was to order a new package?
