  @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

  Ended up just reconnecting my TP Link router, it seems the problems were with my Hub 5 because everything seems to be working fine now. Not great @virginmedia

  @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.

  @virginmedia what is going on B31 5 still without Broadband & TV from 11am and now being told fix is 12pm tomorrow. I have been unable to work all day & now problem is going in to tomorrow. This is unacceptable & I hope refunds for loss of service will be applied to all accounts.

  Hi @virginmedia, I am in Kidderminster, Worcestershire (DY11) and my Virgin Media broadband connection is very poor this week. I have checked your website & apparently there are no issues in my area. I have also restated my access point/router twice but no improvement.

  @virginmedia why is it that your service is up and down more than a yo-yo? It’s getting ridiculous now!!!

  Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported 41 minutes ago from Solihull, England

  @virginmedia right I’ve had issues for nearly a month I’ve done the link there’s a problem with the TV box please can I speak to a human ? This is seriously taking the mick now

  Simon Neale (@nealesj) reported 42 minutes ago from Swindon, England

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

  Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported 44 minutes ago from Solihull, England

  3 weeks now with limited TV yet still paying over £100 a month for svcs I’m not getting , I’m fobbed off on the phone that engineers are working on the issues , they’re clearly not can someone reimburse me @virginmedia

  Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported 47 minutes ago from Dudley, England

  @virginmedia afternoon. I’ve been on hold for 25 mins and when I finally got through the line went dead after security questions. My mum has been without her TV service for over a week. Last night an engineer was due by 6 o’clock and never showed. Another text stating the 26th

  @Tilton247 @virginmedia I had the same for 2 years. Constantly disconnecting on a daily basis . Changed the Hub and it worked straight away. No issues since. Good luck getting a new hub off them though.

  @matt_hanson70 @virginmedia Intermittent for 2.5 days, Sunday always v poor the worst is 0.4mbs with a 250mbs supply. VM's script always saying reboot etc.. Funny though following reporting an issue a week ago I suddenly recorded 256mbs for an hour then it slowly drops to normal! First ever hitting supply.

  @virginmedia @WaynesWorld20_ How many areas have this 'intermittent' loss of service? O have it in DY6 too.

  Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported 57 minutes ago 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

  Dani Grim (@RefinedSavage) reported 59 minutes ago from Dudley, England

  Seems like @virginmedia is completely down in our area, I can't even access their support site to log a problem. Also it appears that @O2 is having some sort of issue, my mobile data connection is so slow that royal mail could be a viable messaging alternative.

  @virginmedia I’m going to but I know I won’t get anywhere anyway the customer never gets anywhere

  @Johnty14 @virginmedia That’s why i never walk out the front door, sends a signal to the burglars that im not in. Best to rappel down a garden side upstairs window

  @james_bull8 DM me my brother works for Virgin media - he’ll put your whole package down guaranteed (internet + TV Package). Your getting scammed 😭😭

  Tom J Jarvis (@TomJJarvis) reported 31 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I was sold Gig2 2Gbps symmetric in June. The upload was never delivered at the contracted speed. After three separate calls got nowhere, your Faults team corrected it, then applied a £6/month surcharge for the speed I had already bought. 1/

  Nim O'Hall (@nimohally) reported 35 minutes ago

  @virginmedia i’ve called your customer service twice, your mobile coverage is so bad that I’ve had it hang up on me twice and then your AI agent hung up on me, when I asked to get through to an actual person

• 
  Paul O'Brien (@PaulOBrienKil) reported 37 minutes ago

  @VMSportIE I strongly urge anyone thinking of subscribing to @virginmedia to NOT do it. Took over a hour to get through to customer service & they still won't fix their mistake. Shambles of an organisation.

  Damian Hastie (@DamianHastie) reported 38 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Wow you really don't want additional business, shocking experience both with your customer service bot and now when DM your X bot. What a terrible business.

  @virginmedia I have an engineer visit booked but it’s not showing on the app. I’ve raised a complaint about that but my complaint isn’t showing on the app. I started a live chat and was asked to move to WhatsApp’s, but didn’t receive any comms. How can I get a response from you?
