Andraay Leung (@Andraay) reported from Birmingham, England@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.

-
Simon Neale (@nealesj) reported from Swindon, EnglandIt 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
-
Simon Neale (@nealesj) reported from Swindon, England@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.
-
Howard Martin 🇺🇦🇪🇺 (@HJMKent) reported from Kidderminster, England@virginmedia You have just repeated, word for word, the last tweet you sent me, to which I replied! Pointless trying to have any conversation with @virginmedia because it just goes round in circles! The most appalling customer services in UK in my experience! No more tweets from you, please!

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.
-
Phil Queenan (@philq001) reported from Birmingham, England@Ian66232919 @virginmedia @02 have been awful and the reception is non existent, especially any where near Villa Park. May as well not take my phone out.
-
Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported from Birmingham, EnglandOnce 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
-
Bonna (@Phil_Bonna) reported from Birmingham, England@Angela_Griffin @virginmedia I have the fibre optic broadband for £23.95 month and the customer service is great
-
neil fleming (@ThatNeilFleming) reported from Wolverhampton, England@fesshole Imagine having virgin media - those poor kids
-
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.
-
Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported 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.

M U (@Shef1212) reported@virginmedia no internet, but I need to wait 5 days for engineer! You say you invest millions and increase prices. Been with you since 2010. Why is it so difficult to log a complaint on the phone too? Shocking & ridiculous service. My contract is due in 2 months.
-
LoobyLou1970 🇬🇧🏴 (@ldp17470) reportedWhy is your support so appallingly bad? @virginmedia Been waiting for almost ½ hour to get to speak with someone on the phone and the chatbot on the app has just gone silent on me. My 360 box won't boot up, tried everything to fix it...1/2
-
Stewart Hawtin (@HawtinStewart) reported@virginmedia Any update on this? Really disappointed with the service provided here. I pay a fortune a month for this!!
-
GlenEagle. Better society now for disabled. (@BurnheadMax) reported@virginmedia The fact you've taken money when you shouldn't have and then wonder why your bill wasn't paid is called 'basic business'. If you compound your error by not allowing people to sign in, chances of resolution diminish. It's not rocket science.
-
caitlin ¹ (@caitlinemrose4) reportedi have the worst internet on planet earth man let this be your warning to never pay for virgin media
-
r (@gtgrach) reported@virginmedia @Virgin my broadband has been down for almost 12 hours. The issue was raised via telephone and on the website at 3pm today, the fix time keeps going up by an hour each time on the website and still nothing resolved!!!! Absolute joke!!! FIX IT!!!!!!! USELESS PRICKS
-
Alloqui Strix (@AlloquiStrix) reported@virginmedia My point was that the date of fix changed from 1 day, to 2, then 4, 3, 10, 4, and 10 days. Broadband is an amenity nowadays and your customers should not be without it for this length of time, especially when I'm told it's an upgrade of the infrastructure.
-
Keith A Pearson (@keithapearson) reported@virginmedia I've just wasted 55 minutes of my life trying to talk to your 'customer services' dept. Both the staff members I spoke to could barely communicate in English, and the line kept breaking up... until it died altogether. Wasted time, no resolution, and huge frustration. You're supposed to be a COMMUNICATIONS company! What am I expected to do now? Go through that same shambolic exercise again?
-
just me (@PHILROOKS) reported@virginmedia With respect I have done this, and you just come back saying you can't access my account or help as you're just the MEDIA TEAM. I'm sure you're here to just monitor the poor comments and look like you care, when you don't. Your CEO should be embarrassed and take responsibility
-
Jo Broughton (@BroughtonJo) reported@virginmedia No WiFi since Wednesday, apparently Engineers are ‘working hard to resolve the issue’ except having driven the entire area…no Engineers working anywhere? just want an honest answer to what’s going on and when it’s going to be fixed
