  Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported 7 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  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??

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

• 
  Beard Punk (@BeardPunk) reported 10 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

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

  Beard Punk (@BeardPunk) reported 14 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  @virginmedia Hi. The team have also said that the issue isn’t resolved though? Everything has been reset multiple times this morning and still the same issue.

  @virginmedia I called cust serv today after logging complaint on 26th Nov and hearing nothing back. cust serv asked me to request my data and voice calls. listen to it myself and then send proof of being missold a contract/virgin error, so virgin can then resolve the matter and complaint

• 
  Satish Danny Paul (@________Danny) reported 21 minutes ago from West Bromwich, England

  @virginmedia i logged another complaint 1 to 2 weeks prior and heard nothing back. i was advised by cust service a month ago not to log a formal complaint and log an internal complaint instead

• 
  Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported 23 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  @virginmedia Yes I’ve done that. My connection drops out for a minute or so every 30-60 mins. Hard to replicate. My account has notes regarding the reason why the credit was given last time. Ideally I don’t want to wait so long for the same issue to be fixed.

  Robin 🤘🏻 (@RobinB1971) reported 24 minutes ago from Solihull, England

  @virginmedia signed up for your new broadband and still waiting for the stuff to arrive. Apparently parcel is still at @YodelOnline main hub. This is the SECOND day I've cancelled things and waited for it to arrive as yet to no avail. WTF is going on!?! 🤬

  @virginmedia Unfortunately, you dont have a ticketing system or cobtact email to track issues, rather a phone system that requires you to wait forever to get through to an agent. A/c number: 095063606. I was charged x2.5 of what i was tp pay.

  Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported 28 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

  @pipjcee @virginmedia And not working again in Brum! #VirginMediaoutage

  Stu Jones (@StuJonesMusic) reported 31 minutes ago from Kidderminster, England

  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.

  Ronnie Harris (@redron1975) reported 36 minutes ago from Walsall Wood, England

  @virginmedia guess what ********* your system is down again. Useless pricks.

• 
  Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported 38 minutes ago from Swindon, England

  @virginmedia No , when I last spoke to someone on the phone the issue was still happening , it doesn’t happen as much now but still happens at least once a day

• 
  SorachiTim (@PolymathTim) reported 46 minutes ago from West Bromwich, England

  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

  Pretentious Opinions (@OpiniatedOne1) reported 47 minutes ago from Walsall Wood, England

  @virginmedia its nice you’re offering new customers ridiculously cheap deals but charging prices through the roof for an inferior service for a customer of nearly 20 years #CostOfLivingCrisis

  ch Saqib (@saqibsvideos) reported 48 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  @virginmedia They haven't called me yet that's how bad you're

• 
  Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported 55 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  @virginmedia It’s on both WiFi and wired. At this present moment I’m unable to get ANY network from the router on both.

• 
  Dani Grim (@RefinedSavage) reported 58 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.

  @O2 ever since you merged with virgin media trying to pay on your web site / app is impossible Been a customer for over 20 yrs Your service is diabolical

• 
  Sandra Robinson (@mrsluc) reported 9 minutes ago

  @YeshuaFoxtrot @virginmedia I read on here everyday about issues, I have to be honest they are the best I've had. Three years and never an issue, well apart from the persistant cold calls. I sympathise with people who do, I was with Sky and had to reset my modem 3 times a day.

• 
  TheModSmith (@TheModSmithYT) reported 11 minutes ago

  My household has been with @virginmedia for around 25 years. We’re told new customers at our address can get full fibre/XGS-PON, but existing customers can’t migrate. So we’re stuck on older HFC/DOCSIS with Gig1 upload around 100Mbps. Why must loyal customers cancel/rejoin?

  Lynne (@lynne_thomson2) reported 13 minutes ago

  @PaulMcDade7 @virginmedia Seems like the whole of Clackmannanshire is down

• 
  Gloucester Glass (@gloucesterglass) reported 14 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I appreciate you taking the time to reply but I am now looking at alternatives. My home internet drops out far too often and mobile signal in Quedgeley is no way good enough for 21st Century.

• 
  J Harris (@BingoBertie) reported 19 minutes ago

  @RichardLXXII @virginmedia Simple. Arrange a new supplier. Cancel direct debit. Commence a claim under the direct debit guarantee scheme for the un-agreed unauthorised increased amount Never have anything to do with @virginmedia again Except for suing for damages for falsely registered credit reference

• 
  Man in Black 2125 (@In2125) reported 24 minutes ago

  @virginmedia yeah did that. it says all fine. no issues .... yet a quick scan of social media ( not using virgin broadband obviously, reveals there's an outage in my area .... perhaps you should move your status checker to another provider? It's going to 24 hours apparently. great service

• 
  Fayez Ahmed (@Fahmed911) reported 24 minutes ago

  @virginmedia paying soo much for this and still out in PR1 region of Preston. Been off all Sunday and now today awful service and not worth it. Defo need to move away #virginmedia #broadband #shocking

  GingaGill💙👩🏻‍🎓😷  (@GingaGill) reported 28 minutes ago

  @SarahLudford @virginmedia @O2 Yep…sadly the service has declined since the two companies merged. They blocked my account for weeks for ‘ security reasons’. ( I had changed pw & looking for new deals) No one seemed unable to unblock it. Took several phone calls/DM’s/ emails etc.

• 
  Shar 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@sharlewis58) reported 30 minutes ago

  @SarahLudford @virginmedia @O2 That's why I left them unreservedly, an utter arse to try to interact. One system not talking to the other, no human to help sort. Mid contract hikes. Went to Sky - no regrets, easy xfer & lower bills
