  @virginmedia The status checker says intermittent signal in your area. It's disgusting with how much I pay for broadband.

  @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.

  @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

  Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported 42 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

  Adie Hughes (@AdieJAMster) reported 43 minutes ago from Swindon, England

  @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

  Chris Psaras (@chrispsaras) reported 46 minutes ago from Dudley, England

  @virginmedia no broadband since yesterday afternoon, told engineers were on route but still no update. Your offshore call centre is also unhelpful and not able to offer any further information. Please can you help?

• 
  Simon Neale (@nealesj) reported 53 minutes ago 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

  @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.

  Alex (@laticwolf) reported 57 minutes ago from Bradmore, England

  I'm so unbelievably ****** off that @virginmedia have **** the bed with streaming Sky Sports + and not even taking responsibility for it. Trying to say there isn't an issue. We pay for a service and spend all day looking forward to watching the game and nope...doesn't work

• 
  VB (@Vincent2455) reported 11 minutes ago

  Received a text from @virginmedia asking me to return an unused device or they will charge me for something I did not request. Made the mistake of calling for address stickers for the return item. Big mistake!! No support! No idea. No stickers. How will this play out in court!!

  🇬🇧 Rob @No-Bull-Politics 🇬🇧 (@bull_robin56713) reported 12 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I'm sure I'm not alone in having asked you to reduce my service, such as cancelling a second set-top box, in order to reduce my bills. As you can see here I asked for my bills to be reduced in Jan 2024. Yet notice how those bills have crept up again ever since. There has been no increase or improvement in the service you provide to justify this. According to my analysis, despite having gained a better paid job recently, my net income is down 4.2% compared with 5 years ago. Like many, I am going to have to tighten my belt, and those bills that increase without any prior warning must be the first to go.

  @PitRucker99 @Starlink The UK is not that bad. Spain is much worse. People pay €49 / month for internet. The problem in the UK is lack of "physical options" but it is getting better: 1. Virgin Media (cable) 2. BT - Telephone lines - ADSL - Fiber optic 3. Three - 5G modem 4. Starlink

  @biggle1908 I've been with Virgin Media since they were called NTL. I did switch to BT for a spell, but the speed was **** in comparison; I soon went back to Virgin Media. This is just for the internet, though.

  @virginmedia You never reply to messages! Why bother asking to send us a DM. Also what’s the confusion you mentioned?

  Darc Knight (@DarcKni68649817) reported 18 minutes ago

  @andyburnham It is the truth. Virgin subscription from £85 to £254 a month because contract expired and they’ll never contact you. This is affecting millions of people @virginmedia. He is attending to the truth about what is affecting people.
