  • 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

    @virginmedia I received my new 500+mps broadband only to get 6mps on my phone in my room. The Router is Terrible and cannot send the speed to devices via wifi. Not Good for anyone

    Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported from Birmingham, England

    Once again the Internet Orovider that claims to be the best @virginmedia, has an outage. I bet all my savings there would be significant kick back if the directors didn’t get paid, because the Lady dealing with their account cannot get online. Time has come for change #cancelVM

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

  • measlewolf
    Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia I’m currently on hold. My mum is in her 70’s and waited in for an engineer only for them to send a text 10mins before to say you were coming in the 26th. The original appointment was the 21st and her TV service has been down for well over a week.

    @virginmedia Async live chat (WhatsApp) sucks as you let me text you with a problem, let it sit for hours, then close it down if I don’t reply within 5 mins and repeat. I’ll just ignore all the comms.

  • stumccullagh
    Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported 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

  • 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!

    @virginmedia how/where do I report damage to the brown box on the wall of my house? The front casing has come off and is lost, I need it fixing.

  • rachaelinnc
    rachaelinnc (@rachaelinnc) reported

    @virginmedia I have tried every which way to contact you by live chat, community, WhatsApp and now been on hold on the phone for over an hour - can someone please help me please with an expiring contract?!!! This is ridiculous!

  • Demon__Cyborg
    toastyborg (@Demon__Cyborg) reported

    Been on hold for @virginmedia technical support now for THREE hours and still no answer. This is beyond a joke

  • SiGallagher
    Simon Gallagher (@SiGallagher) reported

    So @virginmedia just ignore attempts to contact them on here, meaning a spam/fraud account replies in the comments to try and catch people out. In the absence of any actual help or comms from the official account, people will be caught out. And the website is broken so there's no other way to contact (phones are jam packed)

  • EdwardDunford
    Edward.Dunford (@EdwardDunford) reported

    Two scam calls and still ok hold after an hour this morning. Great service @virginmedia

  • cryptocyphereth
    0x00000 (@cryptocyphereth) reported

    @tvrski @virginmedia Yeah. After disconnecting with their human support, I switched to another browser. This time, their web deal page worked, but the price was 50p higher per month than the one i initially seen. Still, it was significantly better than the offer the human agent gave me, so I just went ahead with the renewal.

    @VirginMedia Help! 🚨 24hr+ OUTAGE and billing error (£33.99 quote vs £78 email). Waited 2 hours on phone with no answer. Fix this or I will cancel under the 14-day cooling-off period. #VirginMedia #CustomerService

  • HammondMilly
    Melitha Hammond (@HammondMilly) reported

    @virginmedia I’m trying desperately hard to keep my child safe online. He has SEN and has spent £300 in over 18 websites since he was 13. I used essential security to lock these from my router however it hasn’t worked for months. Feel really let down!

  • Boshek6
    Boshek (@Boshek6) reported

    @virginmedia after 19 years of flawless service. You have gone to **** in the last 2 months. Constant issues. Last contract with you. Once this one ends. I’m done with you. This is all it takes. I’ll never use virgin again for anything.
