    Mad that I pay £71 a month for 350mbps for @virginmedia Broadband 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?

    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

  • MariannexS
    Marianne Sommerville 🌻 (@MariannexS) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia red button for the football not working again. @SkySports

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

    @IanMurphy111 @virginmedia Been with them since Telewest I don’t know why I stay false promises poor service

  • ReissOmari
    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.

  • HJMKent
    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!

  • CaseyRain
    Casey Rain (aka S-Endz) (@CaseyRain) reported 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.

  • nealesj
    Simon Neale (@nealesj) reported from Swindon, England

    It 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

  • AshleyDay1971
    Ashley Day (@AshleyDay1971) reported from Woodside, England

    @virginmedia Internet down again, 3rd day I'm a row. Can't even check status on your website as its not loading properly. When will it be fixed?

  • TheShannimal_
    TheShannimal🔜#i70 (@TheShannimal_) reported from Kidderminster, England

    @Cplcash @virginmedia Problem is other providers are so slow at installing fibre cables that most have no choice but to go with VM

  • nealesj
    Simon Neale (@nealesj) reported from Swindon, England

    Hey, ‘RP,’ again, @virginmedia is down. The lack of resilience is shocking and embarrassing for a major broadband provider. #VirginMediaDown #VirginMedia

  • redron1975
    Ronnie Harris (@redron1975) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @virginmedia guess what ********* your system is down again. Useless pricks.

    Day EIGHT of my complete broadband outage with @virginmedia 😡 However there IS hope. Today an engineer from them is supposed to be arriving-so trying to be positive What a complete nightmare of an experience this has been, so I'm REALLY hoping this will be the turning point🤞

    Adrian Jones (@AdrianTJones) reported

    @virginmedia Where on your site do you list prices for existing customers once I’ve signed in,that link doesn’t take me to it. I just get view your offers and that says chat to us. 29 years a customer and I’m expected to 60% more for the same. Prices for new customers are clearly listed

  • MattWestall
    Matt Westall (@MattWestall) reported

    @virginmedia love it when you contacting your broadband provider to cancel, explain it’s because you’ve been offered cheaper elsewhere, and the “best they can do” is more than the renewal itself
