    It's actually tragic how bad @virginmedia broadband has gotten over the last few days. Hope we are refunded for this period of shocking internet coverage. Still think it's the best service but need to sort out current issues.

  • troublewithdata Will Riley (@troublewithdata) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia You say there’s no issue but our WiFi has been up and down like the flipping Assyrian empire all day. Very cross!!

  • stumccullagh Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Solihull, England

    Have to say your internet & TV have been awful can't get anything again your call centre cut me off after 57 minutes of waiting! @virginmedia

  • bettyboobypants anna_banana (@bettyboobypants) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia please can some one help! My mom has a phone with you but is hopeless with acc info and passwords, she has tv, phone and internet package with you. She is trying to upgrade her phone as the one she has isn’t working/ charging properly.

  • amesmorton48 Amy Morton (@amesmorton48) reported from Birmingham, England

    Listen up @virginmedia Customers will be leaving in droves if you don't sort it out. Cannot work from home with such rubbish service & contract restrictions.

  • daveshep1 Dave Shep (@daveshep1) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia Looks like most of the Broadband is down in B91 - not showing on your website but tests and local feedback from friends/family suggests this is across entire B91 postcode - can you please fix ASAP 👍🏻

  • WadrupR Rob Wadrup (@WadrupR) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia once again my broadband and tv are not working I’m paying a full package for this and even sky sports with nothing on. How many times this month alone.

  • brumadam Adam (@brumadam) reported from Birmingham, England

    Credit where it’s due, just had to call @virginmedia as I was unable to fix a query on the website and had fantastic, fast, and friendly service from the call centre. Thank you 🙏

  • NearLegalJones H (@NearLegalJones) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia Hi. After regularly berating one of your business rivals ref broadband I’m disappointed to be now asking you how to make a (polite) written complaint about an installation at my home. I think you have a staff training issue.

  • midwifephd Roisin Bailey (@midwifephd) reported from Birmingham, England

    @amesmorton48 @virginmedia They're the worst.

  • kittykatrollins Helen Rollins (@kittykatrollins) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia phoned last week re my blueyonder email account. I can’t refresh it on my laptop or on my phone. I was told it would be fixed. I’ve tried contacting again to no avail. I understand staff are limited at the mo but would like to know when this issue will be resolved

  • Markycot Mark Cottrill (@Markycot) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia the internet quality has been appalling today, went down including TV for over an hour earlier and now the speeds down at less than 5mb a second!! Please give reasons and a time for fixing!

  • daveshep1 Dave Shep (@daveshep1) reported from Solihull, England

    Wow...!! This appears to be B90, B91 & B92 - @virginmedia you need to get this fixed ASAP - this is no doubt human error to cause issues at this scale - either that or you need some help with your network topology - let me know 😉

  • Uma1r_F1 Umair Ansari (@Uma1r_F1) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia internet is down in Solihull and apparently across the West Mids...please sort this out ASAP!

  • daveshep1 Dave Shep (@daveshep1) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia @grimegran Bad timing @virginmedia marketing given your Broadband is down across most of Solihull 😔😔

  • bettyboobypants anna_banana (@bettyboobypants) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia She has forgotten her email address (and is struggling to get access to her acc & not getting much help when she phones up) she uses on her mobile acc as she is looking to cancel or update her mobile phone contract.

    @mrkhndy Even worse than the Virgin Media Customer Service department?

  • iJiteshGupta Jitesh (@iJiteshGupta) reported

    @virginmedia Well how do you want to help me. When I call your customer services I cannot get through to anyone

  • Ganterh Helen Ganter (@Ganterh) reported

    @virginmedia It would be nice it you could inform us why they have one minute fixed the issue and the next it is not working again. It has been off now since 21.55 last night another day I have to find a place to work. Is it going to be down all week. ?? This is not good enough no information

  • djcolledge Duncan Colledge (@djcolledge) reported

    @virginmedia there seems to be no broadband in CV10 area. Website suggests no issues. Just to let you know there is. Cannot run tests as no broadband to run them on.

  • 1SillyBadger Sir Badger (@1SillyBadger) reported

    @virginmedia can you finally tell me why there is still no talking EPG after nearly 4 years and don't tell me it's a hardware issue, we've been through this before and you just released a new settop box a few months back.

  • BenHayes77 Ben Hayes (@BenHayes77) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, Five has similar problems but all other channels fine.

  • markCok18922693 mark Coker (@markCok18922693) reported

    @virginmedia @SemperFi_UK TV, Broadband and phone are all down since yesterday. Your service status said "Engineer on site, will be fixed 0130hrs". This morning its "Engineer on way, fix 1630hrs". Spouting utter rubbish from @virginmedia once again! #poorcustomerservice

  • wilddoghogg Will Hogg (@wilddoghogg) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, Further to outage F009199138, my broadband has come on - which is great, but only at 30Mbps - which is not so great. Please can you acknowledge this is known and is still being worked on?

  • AkashIndia92 A (@AkashIndia92) reported

    @virginmedia It’s still the same since last Friday/Saturday…Even now nothing is working whatsoever. I can see that other Virgin users also facing the same problems!

  • Eddiearsenal77 Eddie Jones (@Eddiearsenal77) reported

    @virginmedia what is going on with your service in the BR5 area???….no internet from 7am - 2pm yesterday and now it looks like the same issue again!…nothing but a solid red line on my internet box!…
