  @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.

• 
  Dani Grim (@RefinedSavage) reported 5 minutes ago from Dudley, England

  Seems like @virginmedia is completely down in our area, I can't even access their support site to log a problem. Also it appears that @O2 is having some sort of issue, my mobile data connection is so slow that royal mail could be a viable messaging alternative.

  @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

  Ended 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

  @virginmedia Experiencing issues in your area there is a technician in the area but still doesn't explain why my routers fans go really loud and disconnected from everything I have to keep resetting to get it back to normal then on top get "issues in my area" like always

  Satish Danny Paul (@________Danny) reported 24 minutes ago from West Bromwich, England

  @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

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

  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?

• 
  Satish Danny Paul (@________Danny) reported 34 minutes ago from West Bromwich, England

  @virginmedia I called cust serv today after logging complaint on 26th Nov and hearing nothing back. cust serv asked me to request my data and voice calls. listen to it myself and then send proof of being missold a contract/virgin error, so virgin can then resolve the matter and complaint

  Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported 42 minutes ago from Solihull, England

  @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?

• 
  Howard Martin 💚 (@HJMKent) reported 43 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 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

  Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported 44 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

• 
  TheBosz (@kolapoagunbiade) reported 48 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  @virginmedia Unfortunately, you dont have a ticketing system or cobtact email to track issues, rather a phone system that requires you to wait forever to get through to an agent. A/c number: 095063606. I was charged x2.5 of what i was tp pay.

  Virgin media is literally dog! Worst thing I've done is keep renewing with you every year next year 100% going with bt! Forever dropping out reconnecting utter pointless meant to be 1gig complete waffle! @Virgin #virginmedia

  Pete Bradbury (@PeteBradders) reported 60 seconds ago

  @virginmedia @CriticalRole @LessThanJake I have been a customer of yours for 25 years and upon the most recent contract renewal, you denied the package I opted for because it was for 'new customers only' and then went on to charge me with a bill for £124! A colossal 34% increase! Loyalty means nothing!

• 
  Pavlova (@uk_pav) reported 6 minutes ago

  @virginmedia 18 months loyal, 1 Gig, zero issues. Renewal offer: £33 for 125 Mbps (250 Volt) – worse than new deals. Customer loyalty clearly means nothing.

  Jack Sandberg (@baltimoreoracle) reported 6 minutes ago

  Tired of paying for multiple subscriptions like Sky, BT Sport, Virgin Media, Now TV, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Apple TV+? I have got the solution. This IPTV @8k_Best_IPTV33 offers: • 300,000+ live channels • 65,000+ VODs • PPV events • Netflix • 78,000+ movies

  @virginmedia @JuicyPolarBear Please mate contact @ virgin media 2 weeks not being able to access the app and your customer services just lie and fob me off. Not worked since I joined disgusting services

  @virginmedia Are there known issues in the se3 post code? Your service status page is also not working

• 
  Casilda Malagon (@casilda1) reported 12 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I fear this is terrible customer service. I’m switching providers as soon as possible and will be advising by network to do the same.

• 
  Brendan (@sabrevan) reported 13 minutes ago

  @virginmedia - broadband down for the majority of the time since Wednesday night in KT2 area. “Helpline” says the engineers are looking into the problem. Surely you can give a straight answer. Sky and Vodafone are offering same speeds. Should I move?

• 
  Sean Hanlon (@seanhanlon77) reported 15 minutes ago

  @SziIlar @RacingTV It’s on RTV extra but RTV app is horrid and worse quality, prob watch it on Virgin Media or Sky

• 
  Kevin Clark (@kevinclarknw) reported 15 minutes ago

  More horrendously bad service from @virginmedia. Broadband in SR2 out AGAIN, estimated to be off for three days and website says you need to register the fault to qualify for compensation while offering no way to do so.
