  Simon Neale (@nealesj) reported 11 minutes ago from Swindon, England

  Hey, ‘RP,’ again, @virginmedia is down. The lack of resilience is shocking and embarrassing for a major broadband provider. #VirginMediaDown #VirginMedia

  Andy (@a_Muss60) reported 19 minutes ago from Swindon, England

  @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.

  @eerosupport hi. I have a Eero 6+. If I connect it to @virginmedia 1gbps service, will I get 1gbps?

  @virginmedia 2/ Despite that issue being due to a junction connection in the cabinet in the street, the op seems to refuse to look at that and just wants to reboot my router. Also claims it is due to my use of Modem Mode. Is there anyone in the UK I can contact regarding this?

  @Ofcom can I complain about @virginmedia to yourselves? Had no TV service for nearly a month with no help.

  @virginmedia The TV goes all distorted I’ve done webchats phone calls the lot nothing has been resolved was told it was a problem in the area , neighbours have had no issues happened still have issues now but not as often but it’s a bit annoying esp when I’ve not had any money off

  Mad that I pay £71 a month for 350mbps for @virginmedia Broadband for them to only supply me with 40mbps, internet is barely moving, can’t even load basic web pages on my MacBook or phone. Problems in the Birmingham area?

  @virginmedia Async live chat (WhatsApp) sucks as you let me text you with a problem, let it sit for hours, then close it down if I don’t reply within 5 mins and repeat. I’ll just ignore all the comms.

• 
  Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported 32 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  @virginmedia Think we need to call an engineer out anyways, before the outage I was only getting 600mbps max when my package is the 1Gig.

  Martin Wilkinson (@MartinWilko) reported 38 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  Virginmedia down Sutton Coldfield. National outage . Their website down, unable to report status. No reports or statements from Virgin media. Price rise of 13.8% #VirginMediaoutage @virginmedia

  Ashley Day (@AshleyDay1971) reported 39 minutes ago from Woodside, England

  @virginmedia Internet down again, 3rd day I'm a row. Can't even check status on your website as its not loading properly. When will it be fixed?

• 
  Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported 41 minutes ago from Swindon, England

  @virginmedia No , when I last spoke to someone on the phone the issue was still happening , it doesn’t happen as much now but still happens at least once a day

• 
  SorachiTim (@PolymathTim) reported 46 minutes ago from West Bromwich, England

  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 Your message button is not working. Just resets the x page over and over

  Jamie Summers (@JimSummersNews) reported 6 minutes ago

  Hi @virginmedia, cables belonging to VM have been detached and hanging dangerously from my building for several weeks. I’ve been told on four occasions an engineer will come to fix, and nothing has happened. Can you help please?

• 
  Deano (@deanspread) reported 8 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Well I’m at work now but it was working then going off for a couple minutes then back on all day. Then about 9pm went off for 20 mins then back on. Went on your page to check the service and it was saying nothing was wrong.

  Chris (@Brutha_bear74) reported 9 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I’m trying to login to my account but I’m getting an error code of IDF-12B, how can I pay my bill or get in the app? It’s not recognising my email even though I’m getting my email bills from you

  @PGNWTLOI1D hopefully virgin media steal the rights, RTE coverage is just painfully bad now

  Colin Burman (@ColinBurman) reported 14 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I currently have a contract with Virgin Media for a mobile phone which I wish to terminate can you please advise me of a number I can call to sort this matter out Unfortunately I cannot call 202 because the current phone is broken Thank You Colin Burman

  Diplo (@loldiplo) reported 15 minutes ago

  . @virginmedia can you explain why your servers are down again. It’s pathetic constantly happening and conveniently falls on a bank holiday weekend so most of your customers will be without service for 2 days. Disgrace of a company.

  VirginmediaCSUK (@VirginmediaCSUK) reported 15 minutes ago

  @virginmedia @chuckmiddleton Have you tried learning to lip read until we are able to sort the audio issues?

• 
  George W (@Fraudly_) reported 18 minutes ago

  @virginmedia your online service is an absolute joke. You notify me of new monthly fee starting in May and I need to look at other packages if I want to change before new price takes effect. Only for your site to be riddled with errors and your bot to give me a broken link! With that link switching between error message and taking me right back to that same chat! And I shouldn't need to go round in circles chatting about an upgrade, much easier just doing it myself on your site. If it actually worked.

  Virgin Media broke their agreement, then breached the formal complaint resolution about it within 6 days. Their own staff told me the complaints process has "limitations" and to take it to social media. So here we are 🧵
