  • morish1
    maureen robert (@morish1) reported from Hillingdon, England

    @virginmedia This is false advertising. My broadband goes off more than it’s on and then it is so slow. I have lost count on the times I have called the help line. I have rebooted routinely, it works for a while then off again. I have had enough now as enough is enough!!!

  • TinaReading
    TinaReadingEditor (@TinaReading) reported from Amersham, England

    @virginmedia No Internet for 48 hrs and can't work, will you be crediting customers for lack of service?

  • KlymkoNataliya
    Nataliya Klymko 🇺🇦🇬🇧 (@KlymkoNataliya) reported from Southall, England

    @virginmedia can you confirm if there's an outage in my area (area code 21)?

  • yessibelloperez
    Yessi Bello-Perez (@yessibelloperez) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia I’m afraid not. I did ask to speak to a supervisor/manager and they said they would submit this request. My question is: is there actually a fault or is this an ongoing issue? It seems to be the latter, tbh.

  • crimimel
    Mel B (@crimimel) reported from Welwyn Garden City, England

    @virginmedia Hope we’re getting a refund for lack of service as daughter is trying to write her 10,000 word dissertation but very difficult to do without internet. Should not advertise deals to new customers if you don’t bother sorting out the network issues. Cancelling

  • Griffo2018
    RICHARD GRIFFITHS (@Griffo2018) reported from London Colney, England

    @virginmedia Now I am told they will send me a new hub as they do think I have problems T the house . That’s why VM booked a engineer it was not me who did it . Time will tell if the goal post moves again today

  • david_renty
    David Renton (@david_renty) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia I'd just like to cancel! Nothing personal! But stumbling blocks are being put up and it is tiresome.

    anyone else’s virgin media down?

  • spandya1
    Sandeep Pandya (@spandya1) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    @virginmedia If you remember I told you that it was likely that work occurring at the cabinet in our street caused our issue. The engineer visited and fixed the issue caused by that work. So, it was an engineer/maintenance caused issue.

  • PaulswainDJ
    Paul Swain (@PaulswainDJ) reported from Kings Langley, England

    @virginmedia This is boring. I’ll reach out to third parties to resolve my account issue.

    @SilentMugger @virginmedia It's been over 24 hours now and I've now been told it will be 10am tomorrow. I'm in North London, not in the wilderness. Its shocking that there's no Internet in the city. Maybe there service is getting worse.

  • tor_a
    victoria martin (@tor_a) reported from Barnet, England

    @elisjames @virginmedia Used to have problems in Streatham with Virgin before we change provider. Needed a new router last time.

  • Gosbo68
    Grant Osborn (@Gosbo68) reported from Northaw and Cuffley, England

    @Bazza_68 @virginmedia Up. Then down again. That’s the 4th time today.

  • Mrspdyer
    Peggy Dyer (@Mrspdyer) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia Customer Service is shocking. It’s now almost 6 hours since I asked on WhatsApp for email address to be corrected and I’m still waiting for a response.

  • yessibelloperez
    Yessi Bello-Perez (@yessibelloperez) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia Yep, not good enough. What’s the issue? Why does it keep happening and what are you doing about it? And how are you compensating customers?

  • MSiewniak
    Michal Siewniak (@MSiewniak) reported from Welwyn Garden City, England

    Dear @virginmedia & @VirginMediaCC A day to forget, wasn’t it? All day problems with my internet connections. Thousands of people affected. In my case, I needed the internet to work and it seems like that the issue was resolved this afternoon. How can I claim compensation?

  • the_hyper
    ⚡️TᕼE ᕼYᑭEᖇ⚡️O Índio 🇧🇷🇬🇧🇺🇦 (@the_hyper) reported from Croxley Green, England

    @virginmedia all services are down in Watford/Croxley area! Modem with green light since 6am. Any idea??

  • PcPresenter
    PCPresenter (@PcPresenter) reported from Hemel Hempstead, England

    @virginmedia Any chance you can DM me about an issue? Trying to find an avenue to contact you through the website is shockingly ****. What's the point of having an option to contact when it's impossible to find it??

  • paulstevenlewis
    Paul Lewis (@paulstevenlewis) reported from Mill Hill East, England

    @virginmedia So you cancel the service months if not years before the 4G replacement is a really extensive alternative, while increasing your prices and telling customers “sorry, but that’s tough”. I understand your team is just at the sharp end dealing with flack, but that’s really bad of VM

  • _Brady1_
    🆎 (@_Brady1_) reported from London Colney, England

    @virginmedia Why are my sky sports channels not working but others are , getting error CS2004 . I’ve reset the box numerous times and checked the cables .. on my other box in another room all channels working fine ??

    @virginmedia I left your service in June 26 after well over a decade with VM. Since that time I've been spammed with multiple emails saying' We’d love to ask you a few questions about your recent experience.' I am not here for your quality control. I am now with a rival of yours.

  • DevilHatman
    Hatz (@DevilHatman) reported

    DO NOT EVER BECOME A CUSTOMER OF @virginmedia THEIR NETWORK IS UNSTABLE AND NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE. THEY WEASEL OUT OF DELIVERING A SERVICE BY SAYING THEY ONLY GUARANTEE ONE PART OF IT AND CHARGING THE EXIT FEE. THE £28M @Ofcom FINE WAS 100% DESERVED. LOOKING AT MOVING TO @EE

    BZSM1TH (@BazingaSmth) reported

    @virginmedia So ALL servicea are currently down in CT17 (TV, Fiber , and phone) They have been down since 1500hrs on July 13th. Not expected back up and running until 1300hrs on 14th July. This is not acceptable. You really are totally inept

    @UglyGeezer @virginmedia I’m so sorry, Lee. That’s awful. Thinking of you

  • shauny67
    Shaun (@shauny67) reported

    @virginmedia @weyland76 From your picture it is not a Virgin issue it's your device, it's not released the network connection from the mobile connection. Best response is to restart to device then will connect stop blaming Virgin

  • HopeForTo

    @virginmedia major outage and nothing on X about it

    @MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK No surprise Virgin Media was fined by OFCOM last week for its poor customer service, Michelle.

    @virginmedia Huh, bet that's why we've had rubbish service lately, local toddlers walking past pulling em. It's a monstrosity!

    @MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK I’m so sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine how hard all this is. For your info with regard to your issue - virgin media have just been fined £28m for preventing people ending their contracts. Perhaps talks to the culture internally that you are describing
