  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 I understand that your systems were down last night, which happens, but I’ve been on hold for 30 mins this morning. We have a text to say it’s resolved but it isn’t. I just need to speak to someone please.

  Simon Neale (@nealesj) reported 36 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

  @virginmedia what is going on B31 5 still without Broadband & TV from 11am and now being told fix is 12pm tomorrow. I have been unable to work all day & now problem is going in to tomorrow. This is unacceptable & I hope refunds for loss of service will be applied to all accounts.

  @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.

  Davie G 🇬🇧 (@fredbeare) reported 6 minutes ago

  Do @EE have any actual humans, other than those on commission in sales, working for them? Almost as bad as Virgin Media, certainly worse than @BT who seemed to have taken the worst from both companies and merged. Are there no good comms companies out there?

• 
  The Navigator (@Navigator429) reported 10 minutes ago

  @virginmedia hi. I am an ex customer of yours but it seems my account is still active. I keep getting emails alerting me to someone trying to log into my account. How do I request my account to be deleted? You shouldn’t hold an active account for me if I’m not a live customer.

• 
  Scouse House Bouncy Music (@ScouseBouncy) reported 17 minutes ago

  So fed with @virginmedia. The sky sports plus system has not been working for over a week and they have done nothing to fix it! Starts playing and then crashes, works on the crappy stream box but the quality is poor, works via the apps and website but not on the normal box!

• 
  Colin Chapman (@cochap) reported 18 minutes ago

  @virginmedia when do you expect to get issue sorted in the ML2 area. Virgin been down for over an hour?

• 
  Wingssherpa (@WingsSherpa) reported 19 minutes ago

  @VirginMedia_TV Shouldn’t it be ‘heavy entertainment’? I’ll look forward to that on Virgin Media Player. Actually, no I won’t because it never puts anything on there for UK viewers.

• 
  Jack Ball (@j_ball13) reported 19 minutes ago

  .@virginmedia your bereavement team are a nightmare. We’re trying to transfer account from my deceased parent but we’ve been told we have to immediately cancel within 24 hours? Baring in mind we haven’t got anything else sorted to continue? Is this policy you promote to everyone?

• 
  Sam Sheehan (@SamanthaJane_H) reported 26 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I have messaged. I have taken days off on multiple occasions to wait in for engineers to attend. I was assured that due to external works I would not need to be in today, however the issue STILL has not been fixed despite assurances it would be sorted.

  dawnieC (@CorkinDawn) reported 29 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I already said i did status check which is estimating 5.08pm fix. My point was text says should be fixed shortly. I dont consider 9hours being shortly. Why does this happen more often now? You are no longer reliable any more 🙁

  @virginmedia my neighbour has Gigabit fibre with you, their house is 20 feet from mine yet you claim I cannot be connected to the network. Please contact me on how I can fix this ludicrous error.
