@virginmedia having issues with Wi-Fi at home and your websites including the one on service status checks are not loading? As a result I can’t even report the problem.

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

@Niknaklady1 @virginmedia Oh dear. That's what made me think the problem may not be virgin, if you've got signal on another set. Hope you get it sorted 👍

@virginmedia Rebooted several times. Wi-Fi works fine, it’s just the VPN. Automated message says there’s still an issue.

@virginmedia Internet has been down again for the whole night. When I spoke to you about the recent last 6 times it’s been down you said there was no issue! Looks like whole of UK was down now yet our bills go UP & UP & UP! #virginmedia

@virginmedia But when a contract is agreed like a mortgage or a fixed energy deal surely the agreement should last the full term. I’ve had issues since September & been told I can’t leave due to being under a contract so why should my costs go up when I’ve got an agreement in place until Dec

@virginmedia a customer of yours for years. Had a cpi increase letter to say leave with out penalty. Competitor massively cheaper than you for faster speeds. Only to be told by a colleague I have to pay £110 to leave today?

Zero Internet connectivity from @virginmedia now for pushing 12 hours. Resetting and/or powering down the hub does nothing, the diagnostic and fault tools just go round and around in an ever more boring circle. #LightningSpeedFarce

@virginmedia Can you not contact customers directly to speak to them to check these things? I have tried to get through to your customer service team for about 5-6 hours in total over the last 24 hours and have had next to no success

@virginmedia not helpful when you finally speak to someone on the phone and they hang up on you before you can complete the package change.

@virginmedia So then the area faults aren't getting fixed, as I NEVER get a text update! I tried to let you know yesterday.... but I got through to someone after an hour on hold and they cut me off. I gave up at that point 👍🏻

@virginmedia Everything is fine now. There was a service event going on, though I'd forgotten all about it. I was surprised to see that when I checked my service status it didn't mention it, just said it was down.

(@bradfel) reported
@virginmedia No, just that It is a complex fault and they are working on it. I have intermittent service, but my point is that it will get fixed and then next week, it will go again. I don’t understand?

@virginmedia Following a link to a web site that doesn't exist, Virgin intercept the request and redirect it to their "this site doesn't exist" site. What they should do is simply not return an address so that the browser handles the error. It claims that the "service" is optional...

@virginmedia Very poor Wi-Fi signal, slow tv response, extortionate costs & discuss leaving for another provider.

(@BeesBabe1975) reported
@virginmedia But it's not just the almost daily area faults. My signal drops intermittently throughout the day. The service is just awful and totally unreliable, especially whilst trying to work from home. Fed up of it, been with you for years, but feel it's time to move now.
