  • dan04harris Dan Harris (@dan04harris) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    Hi @virginmedia was expecting to receive call today at 12pm from someone called John but we still waiting. Really getting annoyed at how you are treating us! 14 years of being a loyal customer and being treated like this! Your customer service and bereavement team are the worst!

  • bettyboobypants anna_banana (@bettyboobypants) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia please can some one help! My mom has a phone with you but is hopeless with acc info and passwords, she has tv, phone and internet package with you. She is trying to upgrade her phone as the one she has isn’t working/ charging properly.

  • isamutlib Isa #StayHomeSaveLives (@isamutlib) reported from Birmingham, England

    It's actually tragic how bad @virginmedia broadband has gotten over the last few days. Hope we are refunded for this period of shocking internet coverage. Still think it's the best service but need to sort out current issues.

  • MrAStarz Ashley Brian Wright (Starz) (@MrAStarz) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Wifi and TV down again for the 5th day in a row. Thinking of leaving at this point, I'm absolutely disgusted! 🤬

  • chrisgdack Chris Dack (@chrisgdack) reported from Solihull, England

    Experiencing a major @virginmedia outage! Managing a WebEx class via phone 😉 #wontbebbeaten

  • NearLegalJones H (@NearLegalJones) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia Hi. After regularly berating one of your business rivals ref broadband I’m disappointed to be now asking you how to make a (polite) written complaint about an installation at my home. I think you have a staff training issue.

  • troublewithdata Will Riley (@troublewithdata) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia You say there’s no issue but our WiFi has been up and down like the flipping Assyrian empire all day. Very cross!!

  • EmmaJCasey Emma Casey (@EmmaJCasey) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia sort out the damn WiFi - so many people pay ALOT for your terrible service & here I am (and many others) using my data from @ThreeUK 🤯 #sortitout #virginmediadown #whatarewepayingfor

  • kittykatrollins Helen Rollins (@kittykatrollins) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia phoned last week re my blueyonder email account. I can’t refresh it on my laptop or on my phone. I was told it would be fixed. I’ve tried contacting again to no avail. I understand staff are limited at the mo but would like to know when this issue will be resolved

  • daveshep1 Dave Shep (@daveshep1) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia Looks like most of the Broadband is down in B91 - not showing on your website but tests and local feedback from friends/family suggests this is across entire B91 postcode - can you please fix ASAP 👍🏻

  • Markycot Mark Cottrill (@Markycot) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia the internet quality has been appalling today, went down including TV for over an hour earlier and now the speeds down at less than 5mb a second!! Please give reasons and a time for fixing!

  • daveshep1 Dave Shep (@daveshep1) reported from Solihull, England

    Wow...!! This appears to be B90, B91 & B92 - @virginmedia you need to get this fixed ASAP - this is no doubt human error to cause issues at this scale - either that or you need some help with your network topology - let me know 😉

  • Uma1r_F1 Umair Ansari (@Uma1r_F1) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia internet is down in Solihull and apparently across the West Mids...please sort this out ASAP!

  • troublewithdata Will Riley (@troublewithdata) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia your internet once again down in Solihull

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • binthemaster Master Bin (@binthemaster) reported

    @virginmedia any idea when your customer service number 0345 454 1111 will be back up and running? When I try phoning all I get is “it has not been possible to connect your call, please try again later”. This seems to be the only way to contact you so not great that it’s down.

  • WilliamsLaurent Larry Williams (@WilliamsLaurent) reported

    @virginmedia broadband has gone down again, trying to work from home, please fix it

  • EndeanJeff Jeff Endean (@EndeanJeff) reported

    @virginmedia And yes it says good service in my area , I’ve already been told there’s a fault with my line but trying to arrange a engineer is impossible!!!

  • Joybalfe Joy Balfe (@Joybalfe) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia same crap different day - how you can call yourselves Broadband providers I will never know #falseadvertising

  • Vegan_footqueen vegan_footqueen 👣 (@Vegan_footqueen) reported

    @virginmedia Why does the contact number not work???? I wanna cancel my £50 shitty WiFi!

  • LindaHaynes7 Linda Haynes (@LindaHaynes7) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve been trying to get in touch for a week now, we haven’t had virgin installed yet, but if I can’t get in touch to even sort out the upgrade then obviously big problems with the back up service so thinking of cancelling service!

  • psclement Phil clement (@psclement) reported

    @virginmedia Still experiencing issues, drops for a few seconds every few mins

  • SteveByDay 😷Steve😷 (@SteveByDay) reported

    @virginmedia I don’t blame you personally but your company is arrogant in the assumption that this isn’t a serious problem
