  • 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

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

    If my internet goes down again in the next hour @virginmedia I'm voting Labour!!!!!!

  • cra1gs Craig (@cra1gs) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Yes it does. Apparently there is a known issue in the area and it won’t be fixed until 12 tonight. This is not good enough

  • cra1gs Craig (@cra1gs) reported from Birmingham, England

    @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

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

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

  • Patchwork_Boy Craig Whitehouse (@Patchwork_Boy) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia Hi, my internet is down. The connection (arrows) symbol is flashing and have been since about 3am. Tried restarting router, didn't fix it. Advice, please.

  • pasty_pete Peter Brocklehurst (@pasty_pete) reported from Solihull, England

  • 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!!

  • Bexybexxo Bex (@Bexybexxo) reported from Dorridge, England

  • BrimmellDen Den Brimmell (@BrimmellDen) reported from Wednesfield, England

    So glad we dumped #virginmedia 18 months ago,they’re hopeless & their customer service is non-existent!

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

    Senior manager at @virginmedia has no customer skills what so ever telling me his going to terminate my contract because of an issue with my bank card that they have since taken payment from month after month same issue defo will not reccomend to anyone

  • cra1gs Craig (@cra1gs) reported from Birmingham, England

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

  • rogj82 Roger James (@rogj82) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia 2/2- just when my wife answered the phone and your employee told her to f**k off when she politely declined any new deals or offers! Absolutely digusting, glad to be leaving and fair to say if that is how you treat customers of 11 years in total we will never be back

  • thephdrunner Emma Neachell (@thephdrunner) reported from Birmingham, England

    When you’re trying to work from home and your @virginmedia broadband just ‘dies’ without any warning. Please don’t let this be the start of months of issues again 🙁

    @virginmedia Mobile service

  • 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

  • cra1gs Craig (@cra1gs) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia It’s not a good enough response. You’re providing a sub bar service and yet I’m still paying my bill in full. I expect a discount until the matter is resolved.

  • rogj82 Roger James (@rogj82) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia 1/2 - I have never know such a disgusting company!! Having answered a call last week from this number 0345 454 1098 (your retentions), where your employee rudely cut me off when I said I could’nt talk at the time, hounded every day since with calls, right up until...

  • mercede72928186 Mercedes Hodson (@mercede72928186) reported from Wednesfield, England

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

  • unit_1974 🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia The link you provide is entirely not the problem. We’ve had the same issue for 2 years. It doesn’t stop being a problem. And every time we contact someone about it, we get the same advice because there’s no continuation. Please read the message chain if you’re going to reply.

  • GazlarQuackster Gaz Curtis (@GazlarQuackster) reported from Rugby, England

    Should @virginmedia just accept they are a **** show and refund everyone who’s paid to watch Joshua VS Pulev

  • seanaegan Sean (@seanaegan) reported

    @virginmedia the quality of the ppv boxing is terrible. Signal in and out. #JoshuaPulev

  • mbovo99 matthew bovingdon (@mbovo99) reported

    @virginmedia why is the joshua-pulev boxing stream such poor quality. Not what you expect when you pay extra for it.

  • mightykotor Graemehausen (@mightykotor) reported

    @virginmedia bad enough to have to pay extra for #JoshuaPulev in HD but whats with the pixellation on the feed?! If it carries on, its unwatchable and I'll be wanting a refund?

  • jackkennedy_ Jack Kennedy (@jackkennedy_) reported

    @Markwar85581357 @virginmedia I’m in the north east, seen loads of people having the same issues on here through virgin. Fingers crossed they can get it sorted!

  • umar_mullaSUFC BRO-3886 (@umar_mullaSUFC) reported

    @MatchroomBoxing @SkySportsBoxing @virginmedia I have tried rebooting my internet and pulled the plug on the tele, the pixelating issue has persisted, I have tried my best to watch regardless, but with the headache I’m getting, I’m expecting a refund

  • Ryan86837779 Ryan Cox (@Ryan86837779) reported

    @amydxvis @virginmedia I think this issue isn’t only in your area...

  • ciarankane1 ciarán kane🍀🇮🇪 (@ciarankane1) reported

    @virginmedia @SkySports £26 for #JoshuaPulev and it’s barely watchable. At a time where so many people are digging deep into their pockets to support boxing. Honestly disgraceful, sort it out or refund.

  • DineRusticUK DineRustic@ (@DineRusticUK) reported

    @MatchroomBoxing @SkySportsBoxing @DAZNBoxing Shame we won't be able to see it, paid for PPV on virgin media and its unwatchable, you all want to have a word with them they are ripping you and the public off with such an awful service

  • TallieHol TallieHo (@TallieHol) reported

    Having another shocker with the @virginmedia service and @matchroomsport tonight 😫 the pixelation is not cool for £26 !!
