    @virginmedia hi. Trying to get through to you but permanently met with an automated voice. Please can someone contact me. We’ve been having broadband issues for a long time. tried to log into the hub but it says someone else is already logged in. We really need support from you.

  • Lacie_Adams1 Lacie_Adams (@Lacie_Adams1) reported from Wednesfield, England

    @Phlebian @Truthisaperspe1 @virginmedia If you go to there website and type in your postcode it states if there are issues in the area. I am aware of how to report issues and how to check for them without making contact, when call always same response of the script they have in front of them. No human aspect to the cal

  • Aaliya_UK Aaliya (@Aaliya_UK) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Not officially complained as hoped it would be resolved due to repeated reassurances I’ve had! Shouldn’t have to log a complaint for your error (verified by your engineers)! Cost of GP Partner husband (&my) time far exceeds cost of line rental we are paying for no landline!

  • ADaveWard David Ward (@ADaveWard) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    Thanks for the reply @virginmedia but in your instructions following your system check on your site it states you will be sending a signal to my hub to improve something. Nowhere does it date for me to do a pinhole reset. So which is correct because you need to correct something

  • Lacie_Adams1 Lacie_Adams (@Lacie_Adams1) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @virginmedia Come back home from work and all services are down again.... 2 days in a row...reported the issue... couldnt speak to a person... robot told me to wait 10 minutes and my problems will be fixed.... let's see what happens John

  • mavMclovin77 STEEEB (@mavMclovin77) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia been very poor,in B29, had the hub replaced Friday,still no better,awful service

  • abbiewx_xo Abbie Walters (@abbiewx_xo) reported from Kidderminster, England

    @virginmedia Any advice on why our virgin media boxes have just decided to stop showing some channels. It says error code (W02) and this is on TLC which we used to watch daily?? Joke. What’s the point in paying for for a service which isn’t being provided?

  • sophiemorbey morble (@sophiemorbey) reported from Birmingham, England

    Within 24 hours of me ringing @virginmedia, we’re up and running with broadband (it’s also dead fast, bonus) 👏🏼 If anyone is considering @NOWTV for internet, PLEASE don’t bother. They are honestly the worst provider I’ve ever come across.

  • omarqureshi Omar Qureshi (@omarqureshi) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia What's the procedure if this isn't rectified? It's not a unusual request, yet I'm around 10 days without phone service.

  • Aaliya_UK Aaliya (@Aaliya_UK) reported from Birmingham, England

    Had v patchy internet, when @virginmedia resolved it in April, they connected the wrong cable, cutting off our landline for pt calls (mobile blackspot) Numerous promises frm managers @virginmedia & “urgent service requests” since. Last engineer visited yest. Still not resolved😡

  • Lacie_Adams1 Lacie_Adams (@Lacie_Adams1) reported from Wednesfield, England

    @virginmedia Back up and running but disruption in service and recorded programmes. With the amount of issues I've had since being with you, not once do I get an apology or money back for service I cant use

  • Lacie_Adams1 Lacie_Adams (@Lacie_Adams1) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @virginmedia There are known issues in my area. Apparently 2 days in a row at, what i would imagine, are peak times. I seriously need to consider a new provider. This is getting beyond a joke for the money that I pay

  • Lacie_Adams1 Lacie_Adams (@Lacie_Adams1) reported from Wednesfield, England

    @virginmedia Someone actually looking into my account, the issues I've had and money back would be nice

  • Mossymossy3 Danny Moss (@Mossymossy3) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia your customer service is the worst I have ever encountered, I have been transferred 9 times and no resolution, utter joke , I will be cancelling all my services with you. What a disgrace

  • MartinClarke165 Martin Clarke (@MartinClarke165) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia are the worst I’ve known them in 15 yrs! I’ve had no tv for the last few days and an engineer coming in a week! Really! Also have an outstanding contract issue since March 23rd. Promised call back by managers but never comes. Avoid them!!

  • Davidjocksmith David smith (@Davidjocksmith) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia No, it’s terrible

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • xSophiePaigex Sophie Guest (@xSophiePaigex) reported

    @virginmedia But there should be at least an emergency engineer. It’s the Christmas holidays which means most people are indoors watching tv & using internet! I’ve had to use my 4g that’s been playing up off & on. I pay £80 a month for a service that I can’t use properly!

  • mjlynch Matt Lynch (@mjlynch) reported

    @virginmedia It says estimated fix will be 10:35pm tonight. We’ve had problems for months though and reliability has become awful. We’re paying for the 1Gb service which means we could get cheaper and better service elsewhere.

  • Sally_My73 Sally (@Sally_My73) reported

    @virginmedia No it doesn’t.. I’ve also tried to go through messenger and by the time I get a reply and I reply it gets ended .. it’s a joke! I wish I’d never swapped .. I was assured it would be better than @bt!! 🙄 how wrong it was!!

  • _yumi_33 🎆유미-씨🎆 🦊 (@_yumi_33) reported

    @virginmedia It's been like this since Wednesday. It says the service is green but when I called on Thursday said there was still an issue but it should be fixed shortly. It's just not ideal because I WFH.

  • uk_about Geord Devaney 🌹 (@uk_about) reported

    @virginmedia We then called your support team to explain what the engineer said. We were passed through 6 different agents between 9am and 12pm, absolutely rude tone and not bothered about our issue

  • xlori06x lori-anne (@xlori06x) reported

    @virginmedia my internet stopped working this morning while watching something the picture froze. I have checked the fault status and there is nothing in my area, can you please check why it is not working? Thanks

  • myrax_h Humyra (@myrax_h) reported

    @virginmedia hi. Where is my parcel? Doesn’t let me track it in yodel and it’s meant to come today. Please help

  • EmperorMonk EmperorMonkey (@EmperorMonk) reported

    @virginmedia No-no one mentioned anything. At all. Why do I have to speak to my provider, you guys cancelled the service as part of the change to you?

  • uk_about Geord Devaney 🌹 (@uk_about) reported

    @virginmedia Our internet has been down since yesterday afternoon. Engineer came out today and said it was a credit limit issue on our account. Engineer even phoned his manager to confirm issue!

  • PeterHoward01 Peter Howard (@PeterHoward01) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, yes I have checked this several times and it says their is no problem. I have also reset the box over a dozen times following the instructions …
