  @virginmedia Experiencing issues in your area there is a technician in the area but still doesn't explain why my routers fans go really loud and disconnected from everything I have to keep resetting to get it back to normal then on top get "issues in my area" like always

  Dani Grim (@RefinedSavage) reported 9 minutes ago from Dudley, England

  Seems like @virginmedia is completely down in our area, I can't even access their support site to log a problem. Also it appears that @O2 is having some sort of issue, my mobile data connection is so slow that royal mail could be a viable messaging alternative.

  @virginmedia Yes, and every-time it says no issue, when there clearly is! It interferes with everything, the hive, the tv everything! Really considering going elsewhere.

  @virginmedia business installation, been given 6 dates since 17th January. 4 no show or wrong booked, 2 attendance but not equipped to extend installation from 1sf floor to 2nd. even billed for a service which is not even installed yet. Nightmare #virginmedia #broadband

  Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported 16 minutes ago from Solihull, England

  @virginmedia 2/ Despite that issue being due to a junction connection in the cabinet in the street, the op seems to refuse to look at that and just wants to reboot my router. Also claims it is due to my use of Modem Mode. Is there anyone in the UK I can contact regarding this?

  Casey Rain (aka S-Endz) (@CaseyRain) reported 25 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  Had an @virginmedia broadband outage on Sunday for 2 hours. Since then, connection so spotty that I'm getting 10 seconds of completely dropped packets followed by 20 seconds of slow-as-molasses ping times once every 10 minutes.

  Robin 🤘🏻 (@RobinB1971) reported 32 minutes ago from Solihull, England

  @virginmedia signed up for your new broadband and still waiting for the stuff to arrive. Apparently parcel is still at @YodelOnline main hub. This is the SECOND day I've cancelled things and waited for it to arrive as yet to no avail. WTF is going on!?! 🤬

  Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported 50 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  Mad that I pay £71 a month for 350mbps a month for @virginmedia for them to only supply me with 40mbps, internet is barely moving, can’t even load basic web pages on my MacBook or phone. Problems in the Birmingham area??

  shanny C 🌹 (@_shannonC) reported 50 minutes ago from Solihull, England

  @LenFPS @virginmedia they don’t care. it only happens 7pm onwards but will happen until the next morning so I can’t stream or anything. and they’re telling me to write on a forum as if that will fix it😤

• 
  Andraay Leung (@Andraay) reported 54 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  @virginmedia having issues with Wi-Fi at home and your websites including the one on service status checks are not loading? As a result I can’t even report the problem.

• 
  Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported 57 minutes ago from Solihull, England

  3 weeks now with limited TV yet still paying over £100 a month for svcs I’m not getting , I’m fobbed off on the phone that engineers are working on the issues , they’re clearly not can someone reimburse me @virginmedia

• 
  Casey Rain (aka S-Endz) (@CaseyRain) reported 60 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  Causing me to drop out of a work meeting once every 10 minutes. Oh, and Virgin tried to blame it on my hardware? Except... My neighbour is seeing the EXACT same thing. This wasn't happening before the outage. @virginmedia why am I paying you lots of money for a spotty connection?

  Helen Mildenhall (@helenmildenhall) reported 4 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I sent an email complaint to Virgin Media on behalf of my late father’s estate about his Virgin Media account, then got a reply from the O2 resolution team addressed to my father not me saying they can’t find his O2 account - but it was Virgin Media.

• 
  Joe Duley American voiceover person (@Americanvoiceo1) reported 4 minutes ago

  Your service is atrocious. @virginmedia I attempted to call in to report (ongoing ) technical issue and your agent tried to upsell me a SIM card. Now...your phone number is not working, nor is our BB or TV. Offcom and Ombudsman will be receiving a correspondence from me.

• 
  IzO (@IzO_TTV) reported 6 minutes ago

  @virginmedia You have literally the most infuriating customer service process known to the entire universe. I cannot wait to be out of this Devil spawn of a contract. I actually pray for the down fall of this company with a passion. Zero interest in customer needs just straight aggressive sales tactics. Get out of my life seriously.

• 
  Luis Alvarez (@alvarezluisf) reported 7 minutes ago

  Does anyone else in Ireland has @VirginMediaIE as their mobile data provider? It's THE WORST service out there! God do I regret switching to Virgin Media, this mistake has cost me money and patience.

• 
  MachineGunLukey (@MachineGunLuk3y) reported 8 minutes ago

  @virginmedia will I get compensation from you for being down ? …… I work from home and you are now costing me money for every hour you are down ?

• 
  Vikram (@VikramRajpara09) reported 9 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I pay for a service which is not active and not working. Goodwill doesn’t come into the equation.

• 
  Jon Pitts (@briavelsjon) reported 10 minutes ago

  @SmithyWFC85 @bigsul72 I have access to HBO via my Virgin Media subscription, but don't want to view via an app - that's kinda my point. Sky Sports red button is truly excellent, TNT's isn't bad but is sat unused.

• 
  Chris Davis (@cdavo25) reported 12 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Send one of your 'engineers' to come round and remove this internet because they cant fix a thing 5 weeks this has been going on now and we're lied to consistently! We're sick to death of it plus we're unable to watch we have paid for! Its embarrassing

  @2gurlys1kupp @O2 @virginmedia Aye mate it’s horrible. I complained on live chat and got £30 off my bill. Told me it’s now been fixed but it’s still terrible. Virgin WiFi is just as bad.
