@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 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

@virginmedia Dear ‘RP,’ I find your tone unacceptable. I don’t care how many times you’ve had to repeat the statement; customers are paying for a service they’ve not been getting, so dial down your level of obnoxiousness please.

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 It took me best part of a day Friday 24/3/2023 to contact you to cancel my broadband but since I finally managed to you have been contacting me 4 times a day. We have signed a contract with someone else. Please stop harassing us we have cancelled

@Niknaklady1 @virginmedia Oh dear. That's what made me think the problem may not be virgin, if you've got signal on another set. Hope you get it sorted 👍

@virginmedia Hi. The team have also said that the issue isn’t resolved though? Everything has been reset multiple times this morning and still the same issue.

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

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 why is it that your service is up and down more than a yo-yo? It’s getting ridiculous now!!!

@virginmedia Broadband for our whole street is down, your 1st line support was argumentative and refused to listen and is adamant it’s a household issue and not a service area issue, can you get this resolved please?

@virginmedia It's the hub that's not working! So that's irrelevant! If the main source keeps breaking

@virginmedia Please can you explain why 2 days before my installation the date is changed. For it then to change again to the end of the month. NO ONE CAN HELP. NO ONE TO TALK TO. GOING ON SINCE MARCH

Hey @MartinSLewis do you have any tips on how to avoid Virgin Media's £240 cancellation fee because they don't supply my new address? I'm tempted to keep paying it and force them to cancel when new tenants enter my old house and try to sign up.

(@ChrisLonelyguy) reported
@virginmedia So what do you call a non legitimate phone number? I only use tablet and mobile for online and they do there own scans and playstore scans all apps to ensure safe. I think you as the phone network operator need to do more to stop this.

@virginmedia It's still awful. And so intermittent. It constantly cuts out and watching a movie was awful. I ended up streaming off of my hotspot.

@virginmedia Its a linked issue, a family discount account because I have two phones and broadband. Just spent an hour being laughed at by someone in the Philippines who doesn't understand the law and repeatedly refused to give me their name. No phone means no doctor, no carer...I'm scared
