    @virginmedia how do you check the mobile phone signal in your area? I’ve had nine for a few days

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

    @virginmedia No , when I last spoke to someone on the phone the issue was still happening , it doesn’t happen as much now but still happens at least once a day

  • CaseyRain
    Casey Rain (aka S-Endz) (@CaseyRain) reported from Birmingham, England

    Had an @virginmedia broadband outage on Sunday for 2 hours. Since then, connection so spotty that I'm getting 10 seconds of completely dropped packets followed by 20 seconds of slow-as-molasses ping times once every 10 minutes.

  • StuJonesMusic
    Stu Jones (@StuJonesMusic) reported from Kidderminster, England

    Hi @virginmedia, I am in Kidderminster, Worcestershire (DY11) and my Virgin Media broadband connection is very poor this week. I have checked your website & apparently there are no issues in my area. I have also restated my access point/router twice but no improvement.

  • nealesj
    Simon Neale (@nealesj) reported from Swindon, England

    It looks like @virginmedia name servers are not accessible so no DNS records can be resolved. A major outage for their services. Seems to be no comms from them. @BBCNews are you aware? #VirginMediaDown #VirginMedia

  • jfrncs_
    John (@jfrncs_) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I have now tried unsuccessfully for 12 hours to use the WhatsApp service as again it goes around in circles if I am not immediately available. The number you helpfully provided hangs up after sending a link… please advise how I talk to someone about my account.

  • nippa77
    Neil Simpson (@nippa77) reported from Swindon, England

    @virginmedia why is it that your service is up and down more than a yo-yo? It’s getting ridiculous now!!!

  • _shannonC
    shanny C 🌹 (@_shannonC) reported from Solihull, England

    @LenFPS @virginmedia they don’t care. it only happens 7pm onwards but will happen until the next morning so I can’t stream or anything. and they’re telling me to write on a forum as if that will fix it😤

  • ReissOmari
    Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England

    Fed up of these “intermittent” problems with my @virginmedia broadband.

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

    Had problems with my TV since September now can’t get any live football or movies @virginmedia

  • ReissOmari
    Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Think we need to call an engineer out anyways, before the outage I was only getting 600mbps max when my package is the 1Gig.

  • ReissOmari
    Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia It’s on both WiFi and wired. At this present moment I’m unable to get ANY network from the router on both.

  • EvanD
    Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia 2/ Despite that issue being due to a junction connection in the cabinet in the street, the op seems to refuse to look at that and just wants to reboot my router. Also claims it is due to my use of Modem Mode. Is there anyone in the UK I can contact regarding this?

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

    3 weeks now with limited TV yet still paying over £100 a month for svcs I’m not getting , I’m fobbed off on the phone that engineers are working on the issues , they’re clearly not can someone reimburse me @virginmedia

  • nealesj
    Simon Neale (@nealesj) reported from Swindon, England

    Hey, ‘RP,’ again, @virginmedia is down. The lack of resilience is shocking and embarrassing for a major broadband provider. #VirginMediaDown #VirginMedia

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

    @virginmedia hi I’ve had an ongoing complaint since September, I’ve had an email to contact yourselves but the phone number is getting me nowhere , is there another way of contacting the complaints dept?

  • Stephen12857059
    Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Nobody has called me and the WhatsApp chat is very frustrating and not dealing with the issue. This is very simple, I was sent contract paperwork with an agreed monthly fee of £86.75. Why have I paid two months of excessively higher payments. I should have left VM

  • haychapperz
    hayley chapman (@haychapperz) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia what is going on B31 5 still without Broadband & TV from 11am and now being told fix is 12pm tomorrow. I have been unable to work all day & now problem is going in to tomorrow. This is unacceptable & I hope refunds for loss of service will be applied to all accounts.

  • RefinedSavage
    Dani Grim (@RefinedSavage) reported from Dudley, England

    Seems like @virginmedia is completely down in our area, I can't even access their support site to log a problem. Also it appears that @O2 is having some sort of issue, my mobile data connection is so slow that royal mail could be a viable messaging alternative.

  • beffycuk
    𝚋𝚎𝚝𝚑 (@beffycuk) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia Yes, and every-time it says no issue, when there clearly is! It interferes with everything, the hive, the tv everything! Really considering going elsewhere.

    Nathan B. Evans (@nbevans) reported

    @BenZaranko This is just how network operators roll now in hyper-consumption economies I saw a Reddit thread the other day where one guy had ended up paying Virgin Media £130/month just for basic cable broadband. Just because he hadn't challenged any of the price increases for 3 years.

  • MTFC_RIch
    Richy (@MTFC_RIch) reported

    @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia Happened to me a few yrs ago. We had 3 wks outage, which they said was due to a part failing and would take 3 wks to get a new part. Left as soon as contract up and found a deal less than half what they were charging for same service

  • Malcolm_Sillick
    Malcolm Sillick (@Malcolm_Sillick) reported

    @London_W4 The trouble is that O2 are now in bed with Virgin Media, who also have dreadful Indian 'Tech Support', who can't sort anying out and just read from scripts. Like many companies these days, if you can even find a phone number, they just give loads of messages, telling you to go to their website. The UK could do with a dose of American style customer service!!

  • LonelyLondoner
    Chezza O (@LonelyLondoner) reported

    @virginmedia not me trying to leave because of the terrible broadband service. You convince me to stay on with upgrades and now I just don’t get network at certain times of the day?????

    Robbie Humphries (@RobbieH1972) reported

    @TheNotoriousMMA @LOCthedreamer2 Ireland 🇮🇪 needs an alternative news channel to the government funded stations like Rte/ newstalk/ virgin media etc until then things will not change as we have s generation who solely watch this absolute garbage… we need an alternative like GB news in the uk …

    @rraanes Hi it's us from Virgin Media O2. Sorry to hear your having these issues, if you like could you please send us a DM with a screenshot of the errors you're getting, so we can take a better look?

    @PremSportsTV Please fix the sound sync on the @virginmedia feed for the @NASCAR race stream.

    @virginmedia It finally came back online during the #europeancup penalty shootout. Missed most of the final. But it’s not the first time we’ve had problems in this area. Very frustrating

    @virginmedia How am I meant to get on the page when I have no internet access by phone or tv? That’s my problem my phone gone down as well.. I’m only using my dad’s internet atm !!
