    @virginmedia problems with emails all day. Message keeps saying try again in one hour. But no emails since 835am this morning. Are you aware of this problem? Any news on a fix for it?

  • notdodgy Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia Broadband connection and WiFi are stable but connectivity is intermittent-keeps losing connection every few minutes for 30 seconds. This is a network fault but I cannot find an option to report it. B90 1LB

  • EvanD Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Solihull, England

    @O2 @virginmedia Further to this, he has now told me that as I get a £15/month discount for my 1st 6 months with O2, I need to cancel that and pay full price in order to get the extra #Volt speed boost with VM

  • b68baggie Andy the baggie (@b68baggie) reported from West Bromwich, England

  • PhilCampbell_ Phil Campbell (@PhilCampbell_) reported from Willenhall, England

  • whatsyourtwitta AM. (@whatsyourtwitta) reported from Birmingham, England

    Ffs my @virginmedia wifi is down…again 😤😤😤 - apparently I need to wait till midday tomorrow to get it fixed?!? No Netflix, no Xbox no nothing tonight ffs

  • FuryZhil Dave (@FuryZhil) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia I -think- my services are down due to maintenance in my area. I received a text from you apparently but no email or letter. Any news on how long this is?

  • notdodgy Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia You only pay out for a total loss of service. So it can be unusable but still limping along and you won't pay out. Personally I am hoping for another provider to get around to rolling out fibre in my area.

  • B4DS1GN4L Aaron (@B4DS1GN4L) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia doing me ***** again with no Internet. Two times in one week, slow speeds when it is working on 1gigabit, I got 2.08megabit download?! I hate that I can't have another service provider in my house.

  • SteveDeery Steve Deery (@SteveDeery) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia any chance we could have one day (just one day) where your broadband stays online? Down for an hour in B90

  • notdodgy Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia No estimated time. "It's a complex problem". In other words its a network fault not a line fault. Why isn't the number you shared available on your website? The service checker is useless in this scenario. The website says it's working when it isn't.

  • Mr_neil_c Neil (@Mr_neil_c) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia They said they can’t do anything, just have to pay for 13 days of a service that hasn’t even been activated. Not the best customer service really, left @Plusnet due to them not helping (well trying to leave, seems impossible)

  • notdodgy Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia Your system sent me a satisfaction survey. Needed to complete it using mobile broadband because my virgin broadband doesn't actually work, but is apparently working enough to not qualify as being out of service.

  • WulfrunianChris Chris Burden (@WulfrunianChris) reported from Wednesfield, England

    My contract with Virgin Media has run out and they want to up my contract price by DOUBLE. When I rang up to cancel I expected them to offer me a better deal and they were just Ok bye.

  • Miss_Pumpkin666 Caroline (@Miss_Pumpkin666) reported from Birmingham, England

    @Michaelallen_99 @philell21 @virginmedia Because the stupid rules say that if there’s a disruption to your services (over a specified amount of time), you’re legally entitled to compensation, but ONLY if you contact them to notify them that you specifically are effected, if you don’t they’re not obligated

  • MickHayes1 Mick Hayes (@MickHayes1) reported

    Hi @virginmedia had a really chaotic series of phone calls yesterday from someone claiming to be from you trying to help me improve my internet. Was this you and how can they prove it? Thanks!

  • BillNightingale Bill (@BillNightingale) reported

    @virginmedia Still no call. Bot texting me to ask if problem fixed but still had no call. Bit will take me though security for 5th round and end by saying someone will call within 4hrs.

  • aoife_macentee Aoife (@aoife_macentee) reported

    @VirginMedia_One could you look in to why Virgin Media 3 never has subtitles working? My mam's fav movie was on last night but we turned it off as she cannot follow without subtitles. They work on VM 1 and 2

  • acrock950 Adam (@acrock950) reported

    @virginmedia @BigIssue Trying to cancel my service with you as I am moving and cant take the service with me. Call centre staff just hang up on me or transfer me the moment they realise I'm cancelling. Terrible service

  • dales23 Stephen daly (@dales23) reported

    @virginmedia please someone contact me regarding my WiFi, its bordering on the ridiculous now ,never I'm my life have I had so many problems with WiFi since joining your company its a shambles

  • Goutam54206511 Goutam (@Goutam54206511) reported

    @virginmedia So why do I need to pay Virgin then? It is not one time issue, it has been for over 2 years. Virgin should have shown due diligence and duty of care to resolve the issue earlier. I appeal for compensation, waive off monthly charges for putting at this position on the critical day

  • Finlayandrew_ Finlay Andrew (@Finlayandrew_) reported

    Virgin media is a scam, about ready to lob this box out the back window **** sake

  • PetermcRed Peter mcgoldrick (@PetermcRed) reported

    @AntMelvin @virginmedia Virgin media lie all the time. They're billing me for a service I cancelled on 26th October. They say they can't access my account because there is an outstanding payment. They expect me to pay for a service I'm not using.

  • HelloNikDesign H E L L O I M N I K Design 🖍 (@HelloNikDesign) reported

    @TimGander @virginmedia My mum is with them over near Timsbury and they've had no problems

  • Chris_Archer58 Chris Archer (@Chris_Archer58) reported

    @virginmedia No and to be honest I never had any issues with my old router before this super hub.
