Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia Think we need to call an engineer out anyways, before the outage I was only getting 600mbps max when my package is the 1Gig.
-
𝚋𝚎𝚝𝚑 (@beffycuk) reported from Dudley, England@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.
-
Susan Johnson (@SusieWJr) reported from Himley, England@virginmedia @WaynesWorld20_ How many areas have this 'intermittent' loss of service? O have it in DY6 too.
-
Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported 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?
-
Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia It’s on both WiFi and wired. At this present moment I’m unable to get ANY network from the router on both.

Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Solihull, EnglandHad problems with my TV since September now can’t get any live football or movies @virginmedia
-
Richard C. Bishop 🏃♂️ (@richardcbishop) reported from West Bromwich, England@Damien_Clyburn @virginmedia They're appalling. I've had business version for 10 years. BT never miss a beat. Outstanding. Get rid of them.
-
Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Solihull, England@virginmedia hi I was on a web chat last Sunday my TV was meant to be fixed by yesterday but it’s still not working & my other box is playing up now as well as the internet it’s been a month now & im paying a lot of money for a service I’m just not getting
-
Adie Hughes (@AdieJAMster) reported from Swindon, England@virginmedia Internet has been down again for the whole night. When I spoke to you about the recent last 6 times it’s been down you said there was no issue! Looks like whole of UK was down now yet our bills go UP & UP & UP! #virginmedia

Phil Queenan (@philq001) reported from Birmingham, England@Ian66232919 @virginmedia @02 have been awful and the reception is non existent, especially any where near Villa Park. May as well not take my phone out.
-
Rachael Barker (@rachmadmank) reported from Solihull, England@virginmedia What is the point I would like to speak to a human being shocking service Definitely will not be staying with you 4 weeks if not more with no information regarding this matter Not consideration for others
-
Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia Nobody has called me and the WhatsApp chat is very frustrating and not dealing with the issue. This is very simple, I was sent contract paperwork with an agreed monthly fee of £86.75. Why have I paid two months of excessively higher payments. I should have left VM
-
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!
-
Casey Rain (aka S-Endz) (@CaseyRain) reported from Birmingham, EnglandCausing 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?
-
Garry (@paragaz) reported from Streetly, England@virginmedia hey. I am trying to speak to someone about my account but turns out nobody recognises my account number. Can you PM me to organise calling me please. I've tried the text message service
-
Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported from Dudley, England@virginmedia Yes, the fault dates back from the 25th August and hopefully a fix will be made tomorrow, if not an engineer is booked for next week. When I finally got through the team were very helpful
-
jen (@jenkin99) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia We had issuse with our service, and was told we would need new cables. We the new cables installed. They left cabels hanging in the garden which has since been removed. Our grass is ruined (I have photos) it looks like next doors cable are also under or grass????
-
Simon Neale (@nealesj) reported from Swindon, EnglandHey, ‘RP,’ again, @virginmedia is down. The lack of resilience is shocking and embarrassing for a major broadband provider. #VirginMediaDown #VirginMedia

-
Gaz (@yerwhit) reported@EpicLastSong @virginmedia My virgin Internet signal dropped out all the time, after being told to restart several times, I bought a tp-link router and used the virgin one as a modem, no problem after that.
-
Hewan (@HewanMcCarthy) reported@virginmedia Link doesn’t show an outage, just spoke to one of your employees on the phone who said there is an outage in my area that doesn’t show up. Says everything
-
Leio Lee (@afshin71943097) reportedTired of paying for multiple subscriptions like Sky, BT Sport, Virgin Media, Now TV, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Apple TV+? I have got the solution. This IPTV @8k_ultra_IPTV6 offers: • 300,000+ live channels • 65,000+ VODs • PPV events • Netflix • 78,000+ movies
-
keith addy (@ads913) reported@virginmedia I understand they're introductory, but the gap is £51/month for the identical package. That's not a normal "new customer discount" that's a loyalty penalty. What can you actually offer me?

Robert Elliot (@RobElliot266) reported@virginmedia a more than 24 hour outage to TV & Broadband in TW2? Taking at least 7 hours to get an engineer onsite? Not very impressive.
-
Louise Ford (@pixiepoppett) reported@virginmedia my broadband and tv are down. Can u tell me why?
-
Danny Morris (@danny_9_morris) reported@virginmedia Still intermittent, the app says no issues but clearly something is wrong
-
Keivin Crane (@kcranebda) reported@virginmedia being called out! A word of advice. Do NOT use their one switch system. This system is NOT one switch. They promise you get to keep things like your old number. That’s a lie. Poor customer service. They don’t keep their promises. They should run for PM of the UK!
-
Jonny (@MisterBeergut) reported@Kirsty_x85 @virginmedia Many company sales people do this, because they have been told that not knocking is following the cold calling rules. The posting of cards through letterboxes is what most of them do instead. I have the same problem. At least you were not disturbed by the hard sell.
