    Ok so the @EE connection on my phone is far superior then my home @virginmedia WiFi. May switch. #virgin is crap!! 🖕🏽

  • Wolvesblogger Nathan Lloyd (@Wolvesblogger) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia Cheers for the top. Yes, tv & broadband services issues with an estimated fix time of 23:55. I may have to crack open the Scrabble & the candles. Now I know how people felt in the black outs during the war!

  • AmbitiousMusic AMBITIOUS 🎶🎸🔊 (@AmbitiousMusic) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Your service has been shit for years. Need a change

  • Wolvesblogger Nathan Lloyd (@Wolvesblogger) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia Intermittent problem. It’s back on & then it’s gone again. Very frustrating.

  • Wrightgal80 Kate Wright ◣ ◢ (@Wrightgal80) reported from Birmingham, England

    @danhounslow @virginmedia They are bull shit! I sit next to the router and sometimes have to take my phone off WiFi so things load.

  • JWilliams_94 Jamie (@JWilliams_94) reported from Birmingham, England

    @idlecreative @virginmedia They probably won’t tell you much but it’s definitely a regional problem me and other I know are suffering the same problem with all the other people putting it too Twitter

  • Mitz__P Mitesh Parmar (@Mitz__P) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia do you have broadband issues in #Solihull as the service appears to have gone down. According to your service status page tho there aren't any issues 🤔 I beg to differ!

  • Plumberguyuk Mike Hamer (@Plumberguyuk) reported from Birmingham, England

    Virgin Media should be reported to the advertising standards, for lies, what a total load of crap, try getting your customer service telling the truth for a start .

  • wthirskgaskill W. J. Thirsk-Gaskill (@wthirskgaskill) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Please concentrate on getting up the noses of broadband customers, and stop running shit trains, and suing the NHS for money that was never yours in the first place.

  • DickyDodd Dicky Dodd (@DickyDodd) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia You seem to find it very easy to let go a loyal customer of 23 years. You won't be that sad.

  • tomstrumreed tom reed (@tomstrumreed) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia There's nothing there relating to broadband issues.

  • DickyDodd Dicky Dodd (@DickyDodd) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    Now holding for 20 minutes @virginmedia Customer retention department obviously trying a different tactic to keep me as a customer I've been with this company since 1997 and this how I have to be treated.

  • kittykaz13 Caroline James (@kittykaz13) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia No known issues, there was on 28/04, same thing signal cutting out, supposedly fixed 29/04, but since then there were brief signal losses a couple times a day every day, another known issue raised 06/05 fixed the same day, yesterday had no problems, but today issue is worse

  • terrysankey Terry Sankey (@terrysankey) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @SimonADouglas @virginmedia We have the occasional internet problem but since the last announced 'update' the hub seems to be resetting itself. Doesn't matter to the 'wired' machines but obviously disconnects the WiFi! Irritating as the restart times are long and inputting the names/password is a pain 🙄

  • ArcanumDesign Bill Bishop (@ArcanumDesign) reported from Halesowen, England

    @virginmedia Tom, I already have, and they refused to match the same cost when the introductory offer finishes. You are still over charging me £125 p.a. for being an existing customer. Please have a UK customer manager contact me

  • DickyDodd Dicky Dodd (@DickyDodd) reported from Trysull, England

    @virginmedia media retentions and I got cut off and no call back. Ambismal customer service.

  • kittykaz13 Caroline James (@kittykaz13) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Thank you, yes, I just called them after it happened again! They are sending a technician out to see if the area fault from last Sunday has caused an issue on my line, as this issue only started then, a tech is coming out on Tuesday

  • Sammykins9486 Samantha (@Sammykins9486) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia It’s media. I have sent off the details to change account holder name and heard nothing back it has been over 2 weeks, can’t get anywhere when i contact your call centre. I need a change to our services and need support with this

  • EgglestonMathew Mat 🏳️‍🌈 (@EgglestonMathew) reported from Birmingham, England

    Feel sorry for the poor bloke at Virgin Media that’s answered the phone to Matthew

  • Sammykins9486 Samantha (@Sammykins9486) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia It is a media issue, I sent off the documents over a month ago confirming new account holder , no reply or confirmation this has been actioned at all. Weeks on end trying to sort one issue that should be easy is unacceptable

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Edduknow edd (@Edduknow) reported

    @virginmedia Sorry I am confused. Can you please answer question. Do you regularly have capacity issues. Unable to coupe with the broadband demand at peak times?

  • rick_macauley joella (@rick_macauley) reported

    @virginmedia But your company never applied for permission to lay cables, we didn't want to leave it's your fault not ours so why should WE be penalised

  • amyfulton33 Amy (@amyfulton33) reported

    @virginmedia Oh where do I start! We can’t get virgin at our new house even though we should be able to (virgin need to move box), your customer service has been atrocious - passed around, disconnected more times than I can count, told I’d get a call back and never did, the list goes on!

  • JayB100883 James Barnes (@JayB100883) reported

    @virginmedia Our TV and broadband went down at around 9pm last night. It won't be fixed until at least 4pm. I am bow using my Virgin mobile data for internet i should be getting from my home broadband and being charged for both how is this right?? Sort it out

  • georgina_morey Georgina Morey (@georgina_morey) reported

    @virginmedia I want to cancel along with hundreds of other people who are fed up of Virgin! But who has time to sit on hold to speak to yet another handler who has no record of the previous conversations and to have to explain yourself all over again!

  • tb285 Maximo Beerbelli (@tb285) reported

    @virginmedia @darrancooper83 This is an issue that many people seem to have reported last night as well. It's an issue across BT Sport content (channels 1, 2 and 3) although bizarrely BT ESPN is working which suggests there is a fault at your end rather than BT

  • murray_carcary Murray Carcary (@murray_carcary) reported

    @virginmedia You are waisting my time. There's no point of replying if you can't help or escalate to a senior manager. Sums up virgin staff contredicting each other. Please get somebody to call me today. I want the service I was sold with the boosters, and a continuous signal.

  • Tarekkhwiss1 Tarek Khwiss (@Tarekkhwiss1) reported

    @virginmedia Tv says there may be an error 602 message when using on demand or catch up service. Estimated to be sorted today by 3pm.

  • CKEDWARDS99 ConEdwards (@CKEDWARDS99) reported

    @CBeebiesHQ I’m with virgin media and it was just the chuggington programme, was it the episode itself? My boy was watching programmes before with no issue and once chuggington finished the audio was as normal

  • GEagleGaming CAMouflage936 (@GEagleGaming) reported

    @virginmedia The ping is still higher than normal this has been going on for 3 days. I restarted my router last night and still had a problem. Why I do a speedtest it show wildcard networks.
