  • 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

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia Dear ‘RP,’ I find your tone unacceptable. I don’t care how many times you’ve had to repeat the statement; customers are paying for a service they’ve not been getting, so dial down your level of obnoxiousness please.

  • NickHickey84 Trickie Dickie (@NickHickey84) reported from Bradmore, England

    @virginmedia a customer of yours for years. Had a cpi increase letter to say leave with out penalty. Competitor massively cheaper than you for faster speeds. Only to be told by a colleague I have to pay £110 to leave today?

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

    @virginmedia The TV goes all distorted I’ve done webchats phone calls the lot nothing has been resolved was told it was a problem in the area , neighbours have had no issues happened still have issues now but not as often but it’s a bit annoying esp when I’ve not had any money off

  • AdieJAMster Adie Hughes (@AdieJAMster) reported from Swindon, England

    @virginmedia Internet has been down again for the whole night. When I spoke to you about the recent last 6 times it’s been down you said there was no issue! Looks like whole of UK was down now yet our bills go UP & UP & UP! #virginmedia

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

    @virginmedia Hi. The team have also said that the issue isn’t resolved though? Everything has been reset multiple times this morning and still the same issue.

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

    @MykeJD1 @virginmedia Gone down for a lot of people apparently

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

    @virginmedia any updates on the VPN issue?

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia I don’t think so I’m still getting distorted TV on a few channels it’s frustrating as my complaint never gets recified I’ve spent hours on end trying to get it sorted

  • xsasix freckles n dimples (@xsasix) reported from Woodside, England

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

  • 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

  • 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!!!

  • 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

  • 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

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

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

  • 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

  • Andraay Andraay Leung (@Andraay) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia having issues with Wi-Fi at home and your websites including the one on service status checks are not loading? As a result I can’t even report the problem.

    @virginmedia is there a service outage at the moment? London.

  • sjb79_80 SJB (@sjb79_80) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for the reply. For now, they’re ok, however the issues usually occur in the afternoon and it’s mostly the upload speeds that are the problem. Is this something that’s common across the board?

  • chloe66103038 chloe (@chloe66103038) reported

    @virginmedia still waiting for you crooks to cancel my account!! Was sent a text saying they had to raise a form on on my account to cancel and I’ve heard nothing since !!!! Do realise how much stress you cause people ??

  • nadworks Nadja von Massow - 🇪🇺#FBPE (@nadworks) reported

    @virginmedia Tried all of this, been 3 days now of whole days hanging in message chat. Only ever getting a new person after several hours who tell me that they cannot help and need to connect me to a Customer Relations team (which I thought I'd be put through to)...

  • MattMahjouri Matt Mahjouri (@MattMahjouri) reported

    @virginmedia I received a late notice email this morning notifying that one of your technicians are popping over today to pick up disconnected kit! Can someone help find out what time there coming? I hope I can get a reply!!

  • hikmat3 Hikmat (@hikmat3) reported

    @virginmedia it’s been two days since our broadband is down, basically our life is on hold, useless Virgins

  • goonerby_matt Matt Lazenby (@goonerby_matt) reported

    @virginmedia On hold for 20mins and counting. Terrible customer service.

  • lucy___loo Lucy Loo 💙 (@lucy___loo) reported

    @virginmedia We are now 2 months on - and no resolution or compensation provided following a service outage from 2nd - 12 Nov, then intermittent service from 12-16 Nov. Neighbours on the estate have been refunded already. Do I now need to escalate this to the @OmbudServices

  • banyaik Krisztina Banyai (@banyaik) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve tried to find the online chat but not success... I’m a new customer and haven’t received my unique code like the email said to go and collect my new hub? This was over a week ago?
