Rob Chipman (@robchippyman) reported from Birmingham, England@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.
-
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!
-
Susan Johnson (@SusieWJr) reported from Himley, England@virginmedia @WaynesWorld20_ How many areas have this 'intermittent' loss of service? O have it in DY6 too.
-
Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported from Birmingham, EnglandOnce 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
-
ch Saqib (@saqibsvideos) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia Sending me over bill again and again n customer service is even more worst
-

-
Simon Neale (@nealesj) reported from Swindon, EnglandIt 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
-
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.
-
Susan Johnson (@SusieWJr) reported from Swindon, England@virginmedia @ste1984r But YOU say 'intermittent' loss when it isn't. It's FULL loss of service. And to only compensate after 2 days is crazy.
-
Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia Nobody has called me and the WhatsApp chat is very frustrating and not dealing with the issue. This is very simple, I was sent contract paperwork with an agreed monthly fee of £86.75. Why have I paid two months of excessively higher payments. I should have left VM
-
Beard Punk (@BeardPunk) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia Rebooted several times. Wi-Fi works fine, it’s just the VPN. Automated message says there’s still an issue.
-
Trickie Dickie (@NickHickey84) reported from Bradmore, England@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?
-
Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Solihull, England@virginmedia how can i speak to someone about my MOBILE account? my password doesn't work & your telling me my moms maiden name isnt correct!
-
Frugalista (@frugalista1) reported from Dorridge, England@virginmedia Typical Virgin Media response. Passing me on. Not actually solving the problem. I will never come back to @virginmedia and will advise all my friends never to think of using you.
-
Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Solihull, England@virginmedia Just called your offshore call centre regarding my internet connection. I’m having the same issues as I had when I got a £154 credit from you. /1
-
shanny C 🌹 (@_shannonC) reported from Solihull, England@virginmedia haha you mean the same forum where they didn’t answer me for days last time, and they didn’t resolve anything???? waste of time. they told me to check the speed and check for area issues. absolutely awful customer service when i’ve been complaining about this for WEEKS now.
-
duggystone radio (@duggystoneradio) reported from Swindon, EnglandWell hope @virginmedia and .#o2 get their act together it’s been shocking this week for robust network Had to kill the show this am could not even do audio stream Shocking we’ve got #duggysfest in may ….
-
Casey Rain (aka S-Endz) (@CaseyRain) reported from Birmingham, EnglandCausing me to drop out of a work meeting once every 10 minutes. Oh, and Virgin tried to blame it on my hardware? Except... My neighbour is seeing the EXACT same thing. This wasn't happening before the outage. @virginmedia why am I paying you lots of money for a spotty connection?
-
shanny C 🌹 (@_shannonC) reported from Solihull, England@LenFPS @virginmedia they don’t care. it only happens 7pm onwards but will happen until the next morning so I can’t stream or anything. and they’re telling me to write on a forum as if that will fix it😤

Nick S. (nickncs) (@nickncs_cP) reported@itsuu___ yeah its a DNS or routing issue on virgin media's end. because the VPN connection is working all traffic is routed through that on the virgin media side. so to them they are connecting you to vpn, then it's the vpn that's connecting you to twitter.

Alan Roberts (@AlanRob68902430) reportedAnyone know who telecoms ombudsman is to deal with a complaint over @virginmedia and @O2 practises
-
Jackson Lamb’s Coat (@ape_steinUK) reported@DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt Same here, I was paying £36 for 1GB, end of contract price is £82 and “best” renewal price is £42 IF I take an O2 sim for another fiver a month. Customer price: £26.99 a month. Crooks.
-
John deakins (@Deaks_uk) reported@virginmedia I am trying to get hold of someone to help but I can’t get any support
-
B (@langers777777) reported@DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt You have to play VM at their own game, I have been with them since the days of telewest. Once your contract comes to an end, cancel, within the 30 day cancellation they’ll call you with a new customer offer, works everytime.
-
Mikey Molfessis (@mikey_mol) reported@virginmedia And you make it difficult to log a ticket. I called I. And your consultants say “we are aware of an issue” and leave it at that @Ofcom
-
“No Comment” 🏴🍀 (@TheDjOfChoice) reported@AlanRob68902430 @Bbmorg Can you drive about with virgin media and get signal even when you are in remote areas ?
-
Alexander Dumas 🏴 (@Alexand68647317) reported@DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt I had a very similar experience with them. They are only interested in new customers and not retaining the ones they already have. I left, pay a fraction of what I used to, and will never do business with them again. Great business model for going bust.

mr b (@uxbridgeblade) reported@virginmedia when are you going to fix the broadband issue in ub9 6be? It’s been dreadful since Monday 20th July
-
