  • laticwolf Alex (@laticwolf) reported from Bradmore, England

    @virginmedia good work 👏🏼 issues with WiFi being down constantly as soon as £7.50 monthly bill increases comes in! Currently on hour 5 of no internet and not due to be fixed before 1am 🙃

  • 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.

  • iaacctvuk IAACCTV Limited (@iaacctvuk) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia broadband down again from Virginmedia Common theme these days

  • 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.

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

    @pipjcee @virginmedia And not working again in Brum! #VirginMediaoutage

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

    @virginmedia @WaynesWorld20_ How many areas have this 'intermittent' loss of service? O have it in DY6 too.

  • jot_shoker Jot Shoker (@jot_shoker) reported from West Bromwich, England

    I purchased @virginmedia high speed wifi but they are not giving a proper service We are totally frustrated

  • ethnicalien G 🇯🇲 (@ethnicalien) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia Not at the moment no but it's a common issue👀

  • Momrocks50 Yvonne 💙 (@Momrocks50) reported from Birmingham, England

    Excuse me we pay enough for a "cough" service where is it? #virginmedia

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

    Any news on outages in B37? Also how do I get compensation for loss of svcs (inc my TV not working properly since September) @virginmedia

  • TheShannimal_ TheShannimal🔜#i70 (@TheShannimal_) reported from Kidderminster, England

    @Cplcash @virginmedia Problem is other providers are so slow at installing fibre cables that most have no choice but to go with VM

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

    @virginmedia The status checker says intermittent signal in your area. It's disgusting with how much I pay for broadband.

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

    Ended up just reconnecting my TP Link router, it seems the problems were with my Hub 5 because everything seems to be working fine now. Not great @virginmedia

  • philq001 Phil Queenan (@philq001) reported from Birmingham, England

    @Ian66232919 @virginmedia @02 have been awful and the reception is non existent, especially any where near Villa Park. May as well not take my phone out.

  • scbadham Scott badham (@scbadham) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia really disappointed in the service lately all it does is keep dropping. I’ve had no Internet services for the last hour again the fourth time this week and it’s still not working

  • 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

  • duggystoneradio duggystone radio (@duggystoneradio) reported from Swindon, England

    Well hope @virginmedia and .#o2 get their act together it’s been shocking this week for robust network Had to kill the show this am could not even do audio stream Shocking we’ve got #duggysfest in may ….

  • 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

    And just like that my @virginmedia is off again, no internet whatsoever. Embarrassing service from them, very disappointed and frustrated.

  • Lightstudy Imran (@Lightstudy) reported

    So the @virginmedia response to their internet not working is…go to a website. Not very smart. Do they actually employ people or is it just a web of chatbots and redirects?

  • Abi20008237 Abigail Rose (@Abi20008237) reported

    @Tina54650089 @virginmedia @FasbytesReality Me too, no phone, broadbandor TV service. Phoned Virgin and they just read from a script and book you an engineer ignoring the fact that it's not a fault with our equipment! Do frustrating!

  • Bethany7800 Beth Shaw (@Bethany7800) reported

    @virginmedia Hello the issue has still not been resolved. Do you know exactly when this will be fixed? I also would like to make a formal complaint but for some reason your website won’t allow me to register one! Shocking service!

  • 2WB10 2WB (@2WB10) reported

    @virginmedia @bt_uk virgin media make even your customer service look good! I’ll be coming back real soon. Should never have left.

  • okeefe_brendan Brendan O'Keefe (@okeefe_brendan) reported

    @virginmedia Apparently issues with broadband in the area. To be resolved by 6.00pm it seems. Stuff happens I know but this is becoming a bit too regular. Worrying as VM normally very reliable.

  • Tenacious_P Kook! (@Tenacious_P) reported

    @virginmedia Have a look through the convo.... Or I can send you the contious lies I've been fed by your **** customer service.... And yes Im using expletives because I don't know how else I'm goi g to get a cross how ******* pissed off I am with **** service I've received

  • theory_zane ZaneKFarley (@theory_zane) reported

    @virginmedia Why are you throttling my connection 100 ping on wired connection. This is honestly the worst internet connection available in the UK. We pay enough money for it to at least function properly.

  • country_jim Sex Police (@country_jim) reported

    Hey @virginmedia that new feature where my phone connects to WiFi automatically via other customer's routers sounds great, but in practice, it's a nightmare.

  • scotty_g_23 Scott Gilbert (@scotty_g_23) reported

    @virginmedia Called. Outage until 0800 tomorrow.
