-
Susan Johnson (@SusieWJr) reported from Himley, England@virginmedia The status checker says intermittent signal in your area. It's disgusting with how much I pay for broadband.
-
Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, EnglandEnded up just reconnecting my TP Link router, it seems the problems were with my Hub 5 because everything seems to be working fine now. Not great @virginmedia
-
Andy Newton (@NewtonAndy) reported from Dudley, England@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 👍
-
Casey Rain (aka S-Endz) (@CaseyRain) reported from Birmingham, EnglandHad 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.

dean condliffe 🏴 (@DeanCondliffe) reported from Birmingham, EnglandThe day ends with a Y 🤝 Virgin media not working again
-
Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia Yes I’ve done that. My connection drops out for a minute or so every 30-60 mins. Hard to replicate. My account has notes regarding the reason why the credit was given last time. Ideally I don’t want to wait so long for the same issue to be fixed.
-
Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Sheldon, England@virginmedia I don’t think so I’m still getting distorted TV on a few channels it’s frustrating as my complaint never gets recified I’ve spent hours on end trying to get it sorted
-
Beard Punk (@BeardPunk) reported from Birmingham, England@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.
-
SorachiTim (@PolymathTim) reported from West Bromwich, EnglandZero 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
-
Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Solihull, England@virginmedia Just called your offshore call centre regarding my internet connection. I’m having the same issues as I had when I got a £154 credit from you. /1
-
Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, EnglandFed up of these “intermittent” problems with my @virginmedia broadband.

ch Saqib (@saqibsvideos) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia Sending me over bill again and again n customer service is even more worst
-
Richard C. Bishop 🏃♂️ (@richardcbishop) reported from West Bromwich, England@Damien_Clyburn @virginmedia They're appalling. I've had business version for 10 years. BT never miss a beat. Outstanding. Get rid of them.
-
TheShannimal🔜#i70 (@TheShannimal_) reported from Kidderminster, England@MykeJD1 @virginmedia Gone down for a lot of people apparently
-
Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia Nobody has called me and the WhatsApp chat is very frustrating and not dealing with the issue. This is very simple, I was sent contract paperwork with an agreed monthly fee of £86.75. Why have I paid two months of excessively higher payments. I should have left VM
-
Stuart Henley (@HenleyStatic) reported from Halesowen, England@virginmedia footy on BBC1 through virgin box about 5 minutes behind tonight. Not good service

-
Jon Pitts (@briavelsjon) reported@SmithyWFC85 @bigsul72 I have access to HBO via my Virgin Media subscription, but don't want to view via an app - that's kinda my point. Sky Sports red button is truly excellent, TNT's isn't bad but is sat unused.
-
Bo Duddley (@VallaNils13872) reported@virginmedia I’m in the unenviable position of having my broadband with virgin and my mobile with O2 I currently have internet cutting out constantly and a phone that can’t get a signal in the backwaters of Cambridge and I pay for this awful service
-
Joe Duley American voiceover person (@Americanvoiceo1) reported@virginmedia @virginmedia AGAIN! All services-completely out! No explanation (although app says 'everything is fine') It's deceitful info. No BB OR phone. CANNOT ring customer service-at all. Now my life's mission is to escalate w/ CISAS because it's costing me financially/professionally. SMH
-
Abedul Hussain 💙 (@sirabbey) reported@virginmedia how long is this broadband outage in sm1? It’s been ongoing for the whole day
-
Kate and her girls (@kateandhergirls) reported@virginmedia Your chat colleague already looked into it and was incredibly rude and basically said tough you’re an existing customer on a contract and we don’t help our loyal customers, just new ones 🙄
-
Paul Turner™ (Personal) (@PaulTurner140) reported@DrealSMAK @virginmedia Don’t waste your time. They only want you to DM them to keep your complaint from public view.
-
simon withers (@KalEl_WBS) reported@virginmedia You never reply to messages! Why bother asking to send us a DM. Also what’s the confusion you mentioned?
-
Raymond Watts (@raydwatts) reported@virginmedia I have still recieved no response from your help team
-
Helen Mildenhall (@helenmildenhall) reported@virginmedia I sent an email complaint to Virgin Media on behalf of my late father’s estate about his Virgin Media account, then got a reply from the O2 resolution team addressed to my father not me saying they can’t find his O2 account - but it was Virgin Media.
-
Pete Samuels (@PeteSamuels5) reported@DorzetRob @Artemisapphire Ditto here. We're between 3 towns. Sod all signal. Had to get 'wi-fi calling' on the mobile phones, to make mobile calls via the broadband. Smarty seems to work OK. Old copper land line now shut off by Virgin Media.
