  Drew Salisbury (@DrewSalisbury5) reported 2 minutes ago from Barnet, England

  [1] @virginmedia I have not had access to WiFi for a couple of days now. I have checked the cables, rebooted the Hub and run the final diagnostic tests several times. Still nothing. On the one hand, your system tells me that there is a wider broadband issue in the area and […]

  @virginmedia I’ve given up for tonight. I’m struggling to deal with a company that has lied on record and taken money wrongfully out of my account. @MartinSLewis help!

  @virginmedia Yes, it’s showing issues but we are still being treated like this is a new issue with no history. 😩

  @virginmedia your business is great when things are working, however I have had terrible service for the last 24 hours- no broadband and differing explanations as to the reason- no follow up and still no connection.. very frustrated this morning as I can’t attend online meetings

  Harold Wicks (@hw_renewe) reported 14 minutes ago from Hemel Hempstead, England

  @virginmedia “Have you checked for any issues in your area” No I have not checked that link. It is intermittent; one minute it is useable and next the internet service is missing; it is regular occurrence, happens almost daily!?

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

  jrd1982 (@thefitebegins) reported 22 minutes ago from Hillingdon, England

  @virginmedia Yet again Virgin Media is down and yes I have tried the checker. Why are services with VM constantly going down across the UK?

  Spencer Millbery (@SMillbery) reported 22 minutes ago from Harrow Weald, England

  @virginmedia Service page says no issues.

  ᒍᗩᑎE (@gemmak500) reported 23 minutes ago from Chesham Bois, England

  @virginmedia I don’t doubt it will be fixed eventually but there have been significant issues here for months & I need more info than this. The message on your link hasn’t been updated since PRIOR to being told it was fixed. When reported this morning it was treated with no history.

  Sid M (@smahes4) reported 26 minutes ago from Chesham Bois, England

  @virginmedia The reason given to us that you don’t want to put extra 10mtr cable to service 3 properties. That’s a shame on you and a classic lie that you say on your advert regarding coverage @richardbranson @Ofcom

  Paul Swain (@PaulswainDJ) reported 30 minutes ago from Kings Langley, England

  @virginmedia We have liftoff! Just spoke with a member of your team on the phone. Her name was Francis. She was fantastic! Sorted the problem out and applied a credit to my account. Buy her a drink now 🍷

  John carroll (@Johnboy82903002) reported 33 minutes ago from Brentford, England

  @virginmedia Good morning, This is the 3rd day with no broadband. You have conflicting messages as to whether there is an issue or not, and whether it has been fixed or not. I have been unable to speak to anyone or log a call out. Can someone please help

  Bhaven Dusara (@Fatty_Koo91) reported 38 minutes ago from Harrow Weald, England

  How can it be called Virgin Media when it goes down so much??? #VirginMediaDown

  Yessi Bello-Perez (@yessibelloperez) reported 38 minutes ago from Ealing, England

  @virginmedia Not good enough! I would believe you if this was the first time it happened but I am not paying £53.75 a month for this awful service and unreliable service… not when there are plenty of providers offering more for less.

  @Charlie_A_Gee @virginmedia They don’t give a damn, they’re virtually a monopoly, Ditch them and go to sky.

  Oliver Fatyol (@IstvanOFatyol) reported 44 minutes ago from Ealing, England

  @virginmedia It is incredible, what you're doing is just pushing the date on your service page to one week to another. We don't have Internet for two months now! What are your engineers doing? I am going to cancel your contract and I will go with an better provider. @virginmedia #virginmedia

  Stephen Moran (@stephen_j_moran) reported 49 minutes ago from Harrow Weald, England

  And another day has gone by with no landline service from #virginmedia in this part of Harrow HA1 and still the same recorded message saying they've found the problem and are working on it. @virginmedia

  @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.

  maureen robert (@morish1) reported 52 minutes ago 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!!!

  Steve Kelly (@kellyokid) reported 12 minutes ago

  @MelJanie @virginmedia I was with Virgin for years but got treated like a piece of crap on their shoe with multiple issues so I’ve left! Customer service is non existent! They just don’t care!

  ArtVandaley (@dothefunkgibbon) reported 12 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Instead of silly twitter replies , when you know there is a big outage why don't you publish it on the website ? Have a message on the phone line also , would solve a lot of problems . Your phone lines were overwhelmed yet that could have been prevented .

  @LPXIOP Virgin media customer here, had the same, got a letter they disconnecting the telephone line their end and told us to connect the landline phone to the internet modem with different cable. It worked first time. Copper lines being phased out in favour of VoIP.

  James (Jim) Naismith (@JHNaismith) reported 21 minutes ago

  Usually optimistic on technological progress so disappointed broadband speed being > halved to 67Mbps next month by @bt_uk. @virginmedia can’t fix their “blocked duct” at front door, not good advert for uk infrastructure, I live in Jericho, central Oxford, not remote Highlands.

  Sean Austin 316 (@seanaustin1985) reported 21 minutes ago

  @Johnty14 @virginmedia I worked for VM as a tech and I wasnt one of them but it was common practice by some rltwchs to feather knock so they could put the job off and blame the customer for not being in..

• 
  Paul Hulse (@paulpresenteruk) reported 24 minutes ago

  Dear @virginmedia I upgraded my package last night to add TV yet I wish to cancel this change due to the price for existing customers which is nearly double to what a new customer would get… I have tried to contact through various methods to cancel.

  @virginmedia I have recently closed by Broadband account. I returned your equipment on 25th August 2026. I have an in-post receipt. However, your email is no reply & there is no contact phone number for customer service? I am now getting further emails about returning this!
