Howard Martin 💚 (@HJMKent) reported from Kidderminster, England@virginmedia Can you please explain why, when I renewed my package in March you reduced my last invoiced bill to reflect the change & took by DD what you said you would! Now you say you will suspend my service because I underpaid? You took what you wanted!

Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia The TV goes all distorted I’ve done webchats phone calls the lot nothing has been resolved was told it was a problem in the area , neighbours have had no issues happened still have issues now but not as often but it’s a bit annoying esp when I’ve not had any money off
-
LynneMUFC#22#44 (@LynneMasters) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia why is the Sky Sports red button not working
-
Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Swindon, England@virginmedia No , when I last spoke to someone on the phone the issue was still happening , it doesn’t happen as much now but still happens at least once a day
-
Neil Simpson (@nippa77) reported from Swindon, England@virginmedia why is it that your service is up and down more than a yo-yo? It’s getting ridiculous now!!!
-
Simon Neale (@nealesj) reported from Swindon, EnglandIt looks like @virginmedia name servers are not accessible so no DNS records can be resolved. A major outage for their services. Seems to be no comms from them. @BBCNews are you aware? #VirginMediaDown #VirginMedia
-
Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Solihull, EnglandNot only did I have to go out to watch the football because Sky Sports doesn’t work BBC has gone down so can’t even watch MOTD thanks @virginmedia
-
Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, EnglandEnded up just reconnecting my TP Link router, it seems the problems were with my Hub 5 because everything seems to be working fine now. Not great @virginmedia
-
Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Solihull, England@virginmedia Just called your offshore call centre regarding my internet connection. I’m having the same issues as I had when I got a £154 credit from you. /1
-
Rob Chipman (@robchippyman) reported from Birmingham, England@Tilton247 @virginmedia I had the same for 2 years. Constantly disconnecting on a daily basis . Changed the Hub and it worked straight away. No issues since. Good luck getting a new hub off them though.
-
Susan Johnson (@SusieWJr) reported from Swindon, England@virginmedia @ste1984r But YOU say 'intermittent' loss when it isn't. It's FULL loss of service. And to only compensate after 2 days is crazy.
-
Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia Yes I’ve done that. My connection drops out for a minute or so every 30-60 mins. Hard to replicate. My account has notes regarding the reason why the credit was given last time. Ideally I don’t want to wait so long for the same issue to be fixed.
-
Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported from Dudley, England@virginmedia afternoon. I’ve been on hold for 25 mins and when I finally got through the line went dead after security questions. My mum has been without her TV service for over a week. Last night an engineer was due by 6 o’clock and never showed. Another text stating the 26th

Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Solihull, England@virginmedia I’m meant to be on a webcall about my TV that doesn’t work can anyone help me please?

Neil Brearley (@Fatfingers1976) reported@virginmedia I have wasted half my day trying to get TNT sports on for the football. I now have to wait and have been told that it may still not be on. Your chat people are not helping. Please sort out my issue.
-
NJS (@NJS0580) reported@virginmedia Any idea when the broadband issue will be fixed in my area ? Teesside . It’s been slow for a good few weeks . Finally the service status page shows there is an issue ,the estimated fix date keeps changing. My internet is now working intermittently.
-
SimulatorMan (@man_simulator) reported@virginmedia any updates on loss of service in my area. As im classed as vunberbul customer amd its been down sence like 3pm yesterday and im pissed off as always happens all the time with Virgin Media !!!
-
Bill Graham (@graham69717) reported@entrustTMF @virginmedia Only way to get good service is to use BT/Open Reach as provider; but you will pay! I have had Shell, TalkTalk and now Utility Warehouse as my contract changed hands. All equally poor in their own way. At last house, in the middle of nowhere, had BT, and never had a problem.
-
Sue Rouse💙 🇺🇦 (@rouse_sue) reported@virginmedia your customer service is appalling. Keep being given the run around and no action. Hate to do it this way.
-
Mat ⚙️ (@NotEnoughTECH) reported@justarieldotcom @virginmedia AI happened. Then no one cared about the service as long as DD was paid on time.
-
Monique Bissell (@Neek49) reported@virginmedia I understand, however your estimates keep extending without any end in sight. We don’t get this service for free. We pay for it. At what point do you let us know that it is broken beyond repair and we should move on. I can handle us breaking up for good, promise
-
Eden Gem (@edengem) reported@virginmedia Gadget Rescue overseas don’t really know how to help - plus 3x tech people. Please advise how to reach the cancel service team please. Thank you
-
Tariq Mahmood (@tariqm786) reported@virginmedia No.. I called at 14.35 and was told I’ll be sent a text message once fixed as there is an issue in the area.

YorkshireB'stard (@Phil197881) reported@TheGriftReport I have the same problem with Virgin media, their call centre is in India and more than once I've just rung off after not understanding what the guy said.
