  @Tilton247 @virginmedia I had the same for 2 years. Constantly disconnecting on a daily basis . Changed the Hub and it worked straight away. No issues since. Good luck getting a new hub off them though.

  Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported 13 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

  @virginmedia a customer of yours for years. Had a cpi increase letter to say leave with out penalty. Competitor massively cheaper than you for faster speeds. Only to be told by a colleague I have to pay £110 to leave today?

  @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.

  Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported 36 minutes ago from Dudley, England

  @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

  @virginmedia how am I supposed to book an engineer? There are issues with the quick start installation I have and need an engineer to set it up for me

  shanny C 🌹 (@_shannonC) reported 41 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.

  Susan Johnson (@SusieWJr) reported 44 minutes ago from Swindon, England

  @virginmedia @ste1984r But YOU say 'intermittent' loss when it isn't. It's FULL loss of service. And to only compensate after 2 days is crazy.

  Pretentious Opinions (@OpiniatedOne1) reported 48 minutes ago from Walsall Wood, England

  @virginmedia its nice you’re offering new customers ridiculously cheap deals but charging prices through the roof for an inferior service for a customer of nearly 20 years #CostOfLivingCrisis

  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.

  @virginmedia business installation, been given 6 dates since 17th January. 4 no show or wrong booked, 2 attendance but not equipped to extend installation from 1sf floor to 2nd. even billed for a service which is not even installed yet. Nightmare #virginmedia #broadband

  Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported 56 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  And just like that my @virginmedia is off again, no internet whatsoever. Embarrassing service from them, very disappointed and frustrated.

  Beard Punk (@BeardPunk) reported 57 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

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

  @weyland76 @virginmedia They 100% need to invest in the air conditioning at the exchanges, as soon as it gets hot outside the internet goes down literally every day

  Clare (@clarewo86) reported 10 minutes ago

  @virginmedia the problems I’m having with my Internet are crazy there’s not been a day in over a week that it hasn’t gone down and constantly buffered

• 
  Howard Borrington (@Howard1963OT) reported 10 minutes ago

  @JasonAlderwick @richardbranson Confusing though it is Jason, Richard Branson has never owned Virgin Media. He held a minority stake of roughly 10% and licensed the Virgin brand name to the business until the company was bought out by Liberty Global in 2013.

  Samet (@Samet_UK) reported 14 minutes ago

  Wifi has been down since 1 am and there still hasn’t been a satisfactory explanation for the issue. They just share a link for me to check if there’s an outage in the area. It says there is one, but no more information. It’s been nearly 12 hours. @virginmedia

  🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇮🇲🇯🇲✝️ (@25watchtower) reported 16 minutes ago

  @Stsantek @virginmedia Yup, just dumped Virgin for EE. Although I swore I’d never use BT again after an appalling experience with them before switching to Virgin, I wouldn’t continue using their extortionate services anymore

• 
  Alex Burton (@AlexBass08) reported 16 minutes ago

  More issues with @virginmedia. My nan was out of contract and they repeatedly called with "better deals". She wanted to lower her bill but ended up paying more after being sold 500Mb broadband and Sky Cinema. She lives alone. I called back and said it felt like elder abuse. Why?

• 
  SalfordOriginal (@Salfordoriginal) reported 17 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Obviously a capacity issue and rate throttling going wrong!!!
