    @virginmedia having problems again with the internet. Apparently your app says it’s fine. It’s not. Sort it out.

  • davecres Dave (@davecres) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @virginmedia No days no known problem but clearly with so many people waking up this morning and posting on twitter issues there must be an issue somewhere. Eg one of your switches down or dhcp server not issuing an IP to the hub so it can’t continue

  • ooftbbz 𝕠𝕠𝕗𝕥𝕓𝕓𝕫 🦊 (@ooftbbz) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @Ord_Norm_Bloke Yes Virgin media Wi-Fi is a bit crap I agree

  • AmritPahal Amrit Pahal (@AmritPahal) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @virginmedia absolutely pathetic service, trying to run a business that relies on taking cards payments,I switched to you for the secureness of the line over fibre, since I’ve switched I’ve had more down time than standard internet! Callled up told nothing can be done until 9am!!

    @virginmedia Yes tried that and just called ur CS centre. Once again the person who took the call couldn’t care less. This is the 2nd time this month it’s gone down without any explanation or compensation

  • Saq5000 Saqib (@Saq5000) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia The problem has sorted it self out for some reason as I got a message telling me that picture settings were updated when I had turned the box off for a whole day and turned it on again this morning

    @virginmedia your v6 box is actually awful

  • WieMenHo Wie-Men Ho (@WieMenHo) reported from Lichfield, England

    @virginmedia Again, why is it so complicated. Designed to frustrate the customer and so they stick with the more expensive package. Your team member could not understand my basic request, which is very concerning. Listen back to the call. Play it to @ofcom they have my consent to listen to it

  • JoDtw Jo Darby (@JoDtw) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia There isn't a fault. It's never been particularly good.

    Shocking telephone service @virginmedia - want to reduce my TV package. Don’t want movies or BT sports any more. Can’t tell me what package I would move on to. Whether I lose any other channels or even if I lose HD channels.

  • dianej1980 di (@dianej1980) reported from Birmingham, England

    @jayrayner1 @virginmedia The problem must be serious and hard to fix. I have no connection to Virgin media at all, but in the world we live in today, with everything going on, this really is a 21c problem.

  • Extinguisherman Dale Watts (@Extinguisherman) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, even went through the ombudsman, from my own mistake o should of kept a log of outages and in which areas it was happening. I have done that for 7 weeks since, forwarded to o2 and was ignored!my local mast again reports ‘not working as it should’…….

  • _rob_p_ Robin 💛💙 (@_rob_p_) reported

    @jackmoxley @jayrayner1 @virginmedia Community fibre came to our area recently and was great to ditch BT. Such a relief after months of pain of dealing with them. And them constantly blaming openreach but never any useful info

  • LouWhiteheadPA LouiseWPA (@LouWhiteheadPA) reported

    @virginmedia Just called that number and FYI it is giving conflicting information - that number says no service issues in my area, but your website says there ARE planned service issues in my area and they will be fixed by 3pm today. We still have no internet.
