  • TheShannimal_ TheShannimal🔜#i70 (@TheShannimal_) reported from Kidderminster, England

    @Cplcash @virginmedia Problem is other providers are so slow at installing fibre cables that most have no choice but to go with VM

    Well hope @virginmedia and .#o2 get their act together it’s been shocking this week for robust network Had to kill the show this am could not even do audio stream Shocking we’ve got #duggysfest in may ….

  • AdieJAMster Adie Hughes (@AdieJAMster) reported from Swindon, England

    @virginmedia Internet has been down again for the whole night. When I spoke to you about the recent last 6 times it’s been down you said there was no issue! Looks like whole of UK was down now yet our bills go UP & UP & UP! #virginmedia

  • nealesj Simon Neale (@nealesj) reported from Swindon, England

    It 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

  • MartinWilko Martin Wilkinson (@MartinWilko) reported from Birmingham, England

    Virginmedia down Sutton Coldfield. National outage . Their website down, unable to report status. No reports or statements from Virgin media. Price rise of 13.8% #VirginMediaoutage @virginmedia

  • NickHickey84 Trickie Dickie (@NickHickey84) reported from Bradmore, England

    @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?

  • AshleyDay1971 Ashley Day (@AshleyDay1971) reported from Woodside, England

    @virginmedia Internet down again, 3rd day I'm a row. Can't even check status on your website as its not loading properly. When will it be fixed?

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

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

  • nealesj 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.

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

    @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.

  • scbadham Scott badham (@scbadham) reported 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

  • nealesj Simon Neale (@nealesj) reported from Swindon, England

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

  • a_Muss60 Andy (@a_Muss60) reported 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.

  • Momrocks50 Yvonne 💙 (@Momrocks50) reported from Birmingham, England

    Excuse me we pay enough for a "cough" service where is it? #virginmedia

  • MartinWilko Martin Wilkinson (@MartinWilko) reported from Birmingham, England

    @pipjcee @virginmedia And not working again in Brum! #VirginMediaoutage

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

    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

  • AliveCertified Certified_alive (@AliveCertified) reported

    @virginmedia When trying to log in with my mum's details and reset her password I can't go further than the security question the page just doesn't progress Not allowing me to reset the password anyway this all seems terrible so we're gonna look at taking our money to another company

  • RachReally Mitochondrial Spindle 🏃‍♀️🏃🏅🏊‍♀️🏆📚📚😊 (@RachReally) reported

    @virginmedia I can see you offer email after having read a lot of your twitter responses. Can someone please email me as i can't phone or log in. It's about me ending a contract 4 months ago which I did correctly in writing and still having issues .

  • mdando1955 Mike Dando (@mdando1955) reported

    been trying to cancel my Virgin Media contract for 3 days now what a nightmare.

  • Up_The_Chelsea Rob Lane (@Up_The_Chelsea) reported

    @virginmedia is there an issue with your app on the iPhone? Whenever I go to the pay bill option it opens up the web browser and then it won’t let me sign in to pay the bill. Just keeps sending me back to the same page.

  • __Heer__ Navdeep Heer (@__Heer__) reported

    @virginmedia Why do you keep sending people outside my house to report the same problem again and again. The problem has been the same for 3 months and you still ain’t fixed it. You keep sending someone who reports the same issue @LutzSchueler

  • drawing_daily Steven Kraan (@drawing_daily) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia I managed to pay it in the end but please could you fix your website…there’s some weird redirecting happening when trying to either view or pay your bill. London/Broadband

  • MEngelvuori Marina Engelvuori (@MEngelvuori) reported

    @virginmedia You are alle to see it because you’ve not in the affected areas in North London, I assume. Look, this has been going on for two weeks. And as you can see from the VM community site, there a number of us who have contacted the VM tech team. No help. Read the thread to understand.
