  • 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

  • a_Muss60
    Andy (@a_Muss60) reported from Swindon, England

    @matt_hanson70 @virginmedia Intermittent for 2.5 days, Sunday always v poor the worst is 0.4mbs with a 250mbs supply. VM's script always saying reboot etc.. Funny though following reporting an issue a week ago I suddenly recorded 256mbs for an hour then it slowly drops to normal! First ever hitting supply.

  • 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.

    @virginmedia any chance of an update regarding the outage in my local area regarding internet connection? It’s been down 2 days straight!

  • BeardPunk
    Beard Punk (@BeardPunk) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Rebooted several times. Wi-Fi works fine, it’s just the VPN. Automated message says there’s still an issue.

  • HJMKent
    Howard Martin 🇺🇦🇪🇺 (@HJMKent) reported from Kidderminster, England

    @virginmedia You have just repeated, word for word, the last tweet you sent me, to which I replied! Pointless trying to have any conversation with @virginmedia because it just goes round in circles! The most appalling customer services in UK in my experience! No more tweets from you, please!

    @virginmedia why is the Sky Sports red button not working

  • iaacctvuk

    @virginmedia broadband down again from Virginmedia Common theme these days

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia TV completely down this morning ,it’s been intermittent since September nobody helps me just fobbed off. Who is the ombudsman over you I can complain to? I’m no longer prepared to keep paying for services I’m not getting.

  • 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

  • SusieWJr
    Susan Johnson (@SusieWJr) reported from Swindon, England

    @virginmedia @ste1984r But YOU say 'intermittent' loss when it isn't. It's FULL loss of service. And to only compensate after 2 days is crazy.

  • 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.

  • HuntColin58
    Colin Hunt (@HuntColin58) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia It took me best part of a day Friday 24/3/2023 to contact you to cancel my broadband but since I finally managed to you have been contacting me 4 times a day. We have signed a contract with someone else. Please stop harassing us we have cancelled

  • MartinWilko
    Martin Wilkinson (@MartinWilko) reported from Birmingham, England

    Virginmedia down Sutton Coldfield. National outage . Their website down, unable to report status. No reports or statements from Virgin media. Price rise of 13.8% #VirginMediaoutage @virginmedia

    Rob Chipman (@robchippyman) reported from Birmingham, England

    @Tilton247 @virginmedia I had the same for 2 years. Constantly disconnecting on a daily basis . Changed the Hub and it worked straight away. No issues since. Good luck getting a new hub off them though.

    @virginmedia @YodelOnline your ability to deliver equipment is shocking!!! The customer service you provide is even worse!!!

  • saqibsvideos

    @virginmedia I did, and told them everything what's been happening they goes we will sort out and I still getting emails from virgin I don't know why and problem is still there and bill getting delayed which I been told them about that and its keep happening since January

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

    Causing me to drop out of a work meeting once every 10 minutes. Oh, and Virgin tried to blame it on my hardware? Except... My neighbour is seeing the EXACT same thing. This wasn't happening before the outage. @virginmedia why am I paying you lots of money for a spotty connection?

    @QxPain_ @virginmedia Restart phone then should connect to WiFi ensure it connects to your network then test with opening a browser and running a speed test

  • JagsArthurson
    Jags Arthurson (@JagsArthurson) reported

    WARNING I've had the dreadful new @virginmedia 360 box imposed on me (Virgin updated box without my consent and wiped all my recordings) With the old (36) box, to go to an alphabetical list of recordings was ONE button press With the 360 box it's FOURTEEN!!! Truly awful

  • StephenOld
    Stephen Old #FBPE (@StephenOld) reported

    @thenorth4theeu @virginmedia I tried to change a few years ago but they made the process impossible. They sent me texts instead of emails and no other providers will deal with Virgin directly. They have just been fined for their poor customer service, I think. They don't even reach basic standards of decency

  • Driftinuphill
    Glen Dickson (@Driftinuphill) reported

    Virgin Media? Hi tech? Can't resolve a 4 day old broadband problem. Piss poor service. Piss poor communication. Said I'd get email updates but I can't log in to Virgin email. Chancers.

  • DavidPaintdw
    Dave Wright (@DavidPaintdw) reported

    @virginmedia haven’t you just been fined for making it hard to cancel. It’s nearly impossible day 2 still no reply

  • eternalelneny
    Eternal Elneny (@eternalelneny) reported

    @virginmedia With all due respect, the engineers have been there all day, I saw two of them having a 20 minute lunch break at 10am. Can you push these engineers to get this completed today? Compensation isn’t a valid response to not being able to work - ridiculous service.

  • Nick_LCFC_fan_1
    NICK🇬🇧 ⚽LEICESTER.CITY.FC⚽ (@Nick_LCFC_fan_1) reported

    @virginmedia I have more problems with your Virgin 360. When I'm watching a programme that is also being recorded. When I change channel during the adverts and then turn back it won't let me rewind! The old software let me do this from 2017-2026... Why did you remove so many features?

  • weyland76
    m a t t (@weyland76) reported

    .@virginmedia my TV box will not record anything. Every recording says "recording failed due to a technical issue" but I have no idea what that issue is?

  • Geordie_Radgie
    David Howard (@Geordie_Radgie) reported

    @MoneySavingExp I'm in favour of more control (virgin media constantly stiffing me...), but define "inflation". You also need to factor in how the costs - for the specific business and product - are increasing. It would help if govt. didn't keep finding new ways of driving costs up, also.

    fran (@Jolilfred) reported

    @LapChallenge The commentators are the worst I’ve ever heard, just talk waffle. Also see more of them than the actual sports. Where’s the options to watch different events? I thought it was an option but doesn’t work for me at all on virgin media annoying af
