  @virginmedia Yes, and every-time it says no issue, when there clearly is! It interferes with everything, the hive, the tv everything! Really considering going elsewhere.

  @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.

  Casey Rain (aka S-Endz) (@CaseyRain) reported 34 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  Had an @virginmedia broadband outage on Sunday for 2 hours. Since then, connection so spotty that I'm getting 10 seconds of completely dropped packets followed by 20 seconds of slow-as-molasses ping times once every 10 minutes.

  Garry (@paragaz) reported 35 minutes ago from Streetly, England

  @virginmedia hey. I am trying to speak to someone about my account but turns out nobody recognises my account number. Can you PM me to organise calling me please. I've tried the text message service

• 
  Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported 42 minutes ago from Solihull, England

  @virginmedia right I’ve had issues for nearly a month I’ve done the link there’s a problem with the TV box please can I speak to a human ? This is seriously taking the mick now

• 
  Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported 44 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  @virginmedia But when a contract is agreed like a mortgage or a fixed energy deal surely the agreement should last the full term. I’ve had issues since September & been told I can’t leave due to being under a contract so why should my costs go up when I’ve got an agreement in place until Dec

  shanny C 🌹 (@_shannonC) reported 48 minutes ago 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😤

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

  Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported 59 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  And just like that my @virginmedia is off again, no internet whatsoever. Embarrassing service from them, very disappointed and frustrated.

  Mike T (@Tutts558) reported 10 minutes ago

  @fia I can rewind my Virgin Media to show you Max breaking the rules. Why can't you ? It effects the result, and other teams responses to what you do. You clearly favour him. Terrible decision.

  toastyborg (@Demon__Cyborg) reported 12 minutes ago

  @virginmedia absolutely sucks. They won’t even help me unlock my email and I’ve apparently been blacklisted for not doing anything???

  @Jxs_b Worst one is virgin media, feels like no human is working for them

• 
  Eden Gem (@edengem) reported 15 minutes ago

  @virginmedia A pop up message stating virgin has blacklisted my a/c. Gadget rescue has sent a list of complicated instructions saying I’ve sent too many suspicious emails! Not true: I use this for work. Is it O2 causing the issue?

  Big Ape (@keithman45) reported 16 minutes ago

  @virginmedia @Oxford_Life Yep, same experience. Upgraded to 360, error messages, engineer fitted new box...different error messages. Called 150 Friday to be told it's be fixed remotely by 2nd line... still not working properly. . Looks like another call needed
