    Hey @virginmedia. Any chance the Broadband issue is getting fixed soon in SW17? I’m working from home tomorrow, so this is a bummer really!

  • JaneCommon
    Jane Common (@JaneCommon) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia hi, internet down in se5. A bit of a disaster for me as I have so much work on. Could you ask someone to check it?

  • Phil_Swallow
    Philip 🦅 (@Phil_Swallow) reported from Croydon, England

    @vmbusinesshelp @vmbusiness Ah, so when there will be nothing to do or see you will become interested, is that the customer service ethos at VMB? Staggering, but not surprising

    Virgin why do I keep losing my mobile network? @virginmedia (been trying to post this since 11am lol) as I have virgin broadband as well. 😤

  • mobiusb2
    Baz, Wacky worm! (@mobiusb2) reported from Lambeth, England

    Oh great Broadband broken! , and now got to wait in for Virgin media to fix it tommorow afternoon. Probably punishment for not watching the funeral.

    @vmbusiness outage estimated fix date is 20/09. What planet are you lot on?

    @neilpr85 @virginmedia Yes, this! Oh and now O2 have told me I might lose signal over 24hrs as they’re doing some works. So no mobile data for me either! I feel like I’ve jumped in a time machine and have gone back to 1990!! 😫

    Called Virgin Media to complain about the TV box not working and to get it removed from my package. Somehow ended up singing another 18 month contract with the TV box included but at a reduced price. Not ideal but not horrendous.

    Apologies for the stream interruption last night folks- @virginmedia my ISP is dealing with a large service outage. Hopefully back up tonight!

  • catt_hurman
    Catt Hurman (@catt_hurman) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia you owe me £241.47 in compensation for 45 days without internet service since the start on my contract (22nd July) and the 3 missed engineer appointments. I will be chasing this through @Ofcom. When Will you start providing the service you’re contracted to?

  • Champion3Claire
    Claire Champion (@Champion3Claire) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia An explanation of the problem and what is being done would be a good start for customer service. Right now that’s sadly lacking. I hope there will be a £ reduction in the bill for the lack of service??

  • itsmartamoya
    Marta (@itsmartamoya) reported from Merton, England

    @virginmedia I have had replies from a bot but impossible to speak to the agent. I will put a formal complaint if I don’t hear from an agent.

  • catt_hurman
    Catt Hurman (@catt_hurman) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia Hi @virginmedia guess what? I still have no wifi. Our 8th engineer visit scheduled for today (this time rescheduled because they needed a permit for the work). Just had a text saying engineer will be here next Tuesday now. Livid does not cut it. What kind of service is this?!

  • Phil_Swallow
    Philip 🦅 (@Phil_Swallow) reported from Croydon, England

    Time to ditch @vmbusiness I think, unreliable service & weak support

  • Khaled_Miah1
    Khaled Miah (@Khaled_Miah1) reported from Poplar, England

    @virginmedia very disappointed with the upgrade package in being offered by Virgin. You are offering a loyal customer to upgrade to Gig1 for £51.15 whereas new customers get it for £45 p/m. Where is the loyalty?

  • nicktippett
    Nick Tippett (@nicktippett) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia Pre install Refused to acknowledge any wrong, wouldn't get anyone to even attempt to look till 24th, cust. Service refused to engage as pre installs problem, so am left still with no Internet and no way to sort issues, plus having been spoke to rudely

    @virginmedia @massrossini1 System was restored this AM then stopped again at 4pm cannot do no work at all and customer service lines busy

  • DogAteMyWookie
    Mr Wookie aka Cliff (@DogAteMyWookie) reported from Croydon, England

    Hey @virginmedia when are people in the CR0 postcode going to get their Internet back? It's been down since lunch? Any ETA? Need to plan if I need to go to the office tomorrow instead.

    Virgin Media should change their name to Virgin Media Outage

  • Phil_Swallow
    Philip 🦅 (@Phil_Swallow) reported from Croydon, England

    @redheadlass1402 @virginmedia We’ve got the business service but it’s no better. They don’t seem to have any proactive monitoring or fault prevention and pretty much don’t care. They have a 3 hour service level that passed 12 hours ago, totally useless bunch of money-grabbers

    Christopher Knibb (@chris_knibb) reported

    Do not use @virginmedia Twitter - they are scammers. Spoke on the phone to VM call centre who said VM would never ask the questions this X account and the WhatsApp account they connect you with would ask. AVOID!!!!

  • CarlyBoo78
    *carly* RN DN (@CarlyBoo78) reported

    @virginmedia been trying to get through to your customer service line for over 5 hours in the past 2 days!!! Chatbot useless! Can’t get on the app. You have taken an extra £122.00 on top of our usual bill this month and we can’t speak to anyone about it! Poor, poor service!!

  • SteveFurni7742
    Steve Furniss (@SteveFurni7742) reported

    @O2 @ryjeasterbrook Why is your Virgin Media call line so poor 1 hour 30 minutes waiting today at 8am and no response. On line chat bots are rubbish for specific queries. About the poorest customer service there is

    Sam Reynolds (@samr_1986) reported

    @virginmedia I joined in Dec 2025 at £23.99 a month and my broadband price has already increased in April 2026 after only a few months. I’m really disappointed with how quickly the advertised price changed. Can someone review my account and help with a better deal please?

  • CherylChau1029
    Cheryl Chau (@CherylChau1029) reported

    @virginmedia 2hr phone wait! Mis-sold £78 (quoted £33.99) + 24hr outage. Fix it or I'm cancelling under 14-day cooling-off. #VirginMedia

    David Kirk (@veyron_fan) reported

    @hamchester44 @_HenryMill You don't get why people are so into it. Did you see the price of f1tv? It's literally a fraction the price of Sky.... If you don't have a classic TV service like Sky or Virgin media, which many don't, you're only option is rubbish NowTV sports pass for over £30 a month!!!
