  Stu Jones (@StuJonesMusic) reported 24 seconds 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.

  @virginmedia really disappointed in the service lately all it does is keep dropping. I’ve had no Internet services for the last hour again the fourth time this week and it’s still not working

  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 Hi, I have now tried unsuccessfully for 12 hours to use the WhatsApp service as again it goes around in circles if I am not immediately available. The number you helpfully provided hangs up after sending a link… please advise how I talk to someone about my account.

  Rob Chipman (@robchippyman) reported 35 minutes ago 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.

  @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

  Susan Johnson (@SusieWJr) reported 56 minutes ago 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.

• 
  Susan Johnson (@SusieWJr) reported 56 minutes ago from Himley, England

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

• 
  Howard Martin 💚 (@HJMKent) reported 58 minutes ago 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!

  Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported 58 minutes ago from Solihull, England

  @virginmedia I’m meant to be on a webcall about my TV that doesn’t work can anyone help me please?

  @virginmedia is there an issue sending out a 360 upgrade box? Told it takes up to 7 days. It is now 12.

  AxiomLunc (@AxiomLunc) reported 9 minutes ago

  @Benleo @virginmedia @Benleo Put a complaint into the Ombudsman, O2 and Virginmedia do this all the time, i had a friend who cancelled his O2 contract after working for the company, never had issues with fraud etc, then magically after leaving, he had over £1000 fraud on his account.

• 
  Carl S (@screwy73) reported 10 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I no its not a fault free service but your faults are very regular as i said 3 to 4 times a week compared to once in a blue moon on a BT line , and when i do a check nothing wrong with my line , so it must be my router which works fine till you have a fault 🙄

• 
  Reform UK - Lincoln Branch (@ReformUKLincoln) reported 12 minutes ago

  @Benleo Just look at @Trustpilot reviews. Almost impossible to cancel an @virginmedia contract. Sent all evidence to Ombudsman, got written apology and £150.

  (((Tim from Radio Clash))) 🌈 🏳️‍🌈💛🤍💜🖤 (@radioclashblog) reported 17 minutes ago

  Sadly we are still last mile copper here, no Community/Open Reach fibre yet but we do have Virgin Media (old cable)... Yes I know...but I suspect support will be as **** like nearly all of them now....if Plusnet wasn't dropping phones and Zen wasn't hyper expensive I'd use them.

  tina town (@tinajohnson123) reported 18 minutes ago

  @Benleo @virginmedia We had Virgin media years ago, worst service ever. Go to sky as they are always offering great deals for new customers

  @Benleo @lindseyjacks67 Your biggest mistake was entertaining Virgin media in the first place! I would never give any money to Richard Branson..ever! Vile man!

• 
  Dermot O'Leary (@dollDCFC) reported 20 minutes ago

  @Benleo I know this will be of little conciliation to you but I recently had an issue with my @virginmedia broadband. It required a new Hub. I phoned on a Tuesday late afternoon and they booked a call out for the Thursday PM. They arrived on time and fitted the new Hub. I had no issues.

  @obbsie @virginmedia Everyone I know who used to be with @virginmedia has moved to another provider having experienced the same rubbish service you're getting. Banged on my door a few weeks ago, got sent packing, told the sales person I'd rather go totally offline than use them
