  @virginmedia I received my new 500+mps broadband only to get 6mps on my phone in my room. The Router is Terrible and cannot send the speed to devices via wifi. Not Good for anyone

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

  @IanMurphy111 @virginmedia Been with them since Telewest I don’t know why I stay false promises poor service

  @virginmedia afternoon. I’ve been on hold for 25 mins and when I finally got through the line went dead after security questions. My mum has been without her TV service for over a week. Last night an engineer was due by 6 o’clock and never showed. Another text stating the 26th

  Once again the Internet Orovider that claims to be the best @virginmedia, has an outage. I bet all my savings there would be significant kick back if the directors didn’t get paid, because the Lady dealing with their account cannot get online. Time has come for change #cancelVM

  Scott badham (@scbadham) reported 28 minutes ago from West Bromwich, England

  @virginmedia really disappointed in the service lately all it does is keep dropping. I’ve had no Internet services for the last hour again the fourth time this week and it’s still not working

  @virginmedia any chance of an update regarding the outage in my local area regarding internet connection? It’s been down 2 days straight!

• 
  Howard Martin 💚 (@HJMKent) reported 34 minutes ago from Kidderminster, England

  @virginmedia Can you please explain why, when I renewed my package in March you reduced my last invoiced bill to reflect the change & took by DD what you said you would! Now you say you will suspend my service because I underpaid? You took what you wanted!

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

• 
  Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported 43 minutes ago 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

  shanny C 🌹 (@_shannonC) reported 47 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😤

  Andy (@a_Muss60) reported 49 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.

  shanny C 🌹 (@_shannonC) reported 60 minutes ago from Solihull, England

  @virginmedia haha you mean the same forum where they didn’t answer me for days last time, and they didn’t resolve anything???? waste of time. they told me to check the speed and check for area issues. absolutely awful customer service when i’ve been complaining about this for WEEKS now.

• 
  Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported 60 minutes ago from Dudley, England

  @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.

  @virginmedia shockingly bad service no broadband for over a week and no indication of when this will be fixed

• 
  Ian Perry (@ian_perry) reported 5 minutes ago

  @virginmedia - so, you apply an update to fix Sky Sports but trying to watch any box recordings now leads to stuttering and freezing. Look up comedian Norman Collier. It's like that! What on earth do we pay our bills for? Well, it isn't customer services is it?

  Magnolia’s Art (@Magnoli23215778) reported 12 minutes ago

  @CheekyVic @virginmedia 100% agreed. Every fecking month I have an engineer coming. I’ve to do a whole rigmarole to turn my tv on @Virginmedia. I need to get rid. £92 a month I pay for crap!!!

• 
  Richard D G Cox (rcox.bsky.social) (@RDG_C) reported 18 minutes ago

  Hello @virginmedia might you please have your legal department confirm their address for service of documents such as, for example, formal “letters before action”? It would of course have been preferable if the question had not had to be asked, but … we are where we are.

• 
  Frankie Smith (@frankiesmith74) reported 19 minutes ago

  @virginmedia you have failed to install broadband at my new property as part of home move service. I have been promised engineers will attend each day for last 3 days - no sign! I’ve asked for updates - nothing! I’ve been told I’ll be contacted by Area Manager - nothing! Terrible

  Liesl_ (@_lliesl_) reported 23 minutes ago

  This is not a *me* problem I went into an O2 store who told me that there was a known issue with the O2/Virgin media set up. I do not care. I expect to be able to access my account. I expect to be able to take the offer to change my tariff

  On a web chat with @virginmedia about my internet package renewal (because you can't talk to real people any more, right?)...at that very moment my internet access goes down...the gods are trying to tell me something, aren't they?
