  • Darren_Barton19 Darren Barton (@Darren_Barton19) reported from Crosby, England

    @si1774 @DanRob86 @virginmedia No mate it's owned by Liberty Global which is why it goes up every year and the service gets worse. Mind you he takes a cut for using his name.

  • andy_stones andy stones (@andy_stones) reported from Scunthorpe, England

    @virginmedia Don’t know but a lot of people aren’t very happy with the service, drops out more than it’s in service, maybe a UPD issue on virgins system

  • paulscunny Paul wilson (@paulscunny) reported from Scunthorpe, England

    @virginmedia still having wifi problems, months later still being fobbed off, now a problem in my area but your own website says it ok. How much longer will it take to get sorted.

  • andy_stones andy stones (@andy_stones) reported from Scunthorpe, England

    @virginmedia internets been terrible tonight, cost me, lost £££ Scunthorpe DN17

  • paulscunny Paul wilson (@paulscunny) reported from Scunthorpe, England

  • DavidGr42957774 David Green 💙 (@DavidGr42957774) reported from Scotter, England

    @mouthwaite @virginmedia Tamzin, have you asked the school if there is any support available with WiFi? I know my college used done funds to provide dongles with access. Worth asking. A teacher.

  • Neil_mumby neil mumby (@Neil_mumby) reported from Scunthorpe, England

    @virginmedia @Virgin @richardbranson no phone coverage for most of the da, I understand you might get technical issues but this length of time, come on you can do better #switchitoffandonagain

  • paulscunny Paul wilson (@paulscunny) reported from Scunthorpe, England

    @virginmedia So all the phone calls we made over this means nothing, surely it will be on record either way and someone should see theres a problem, sounds like we been pasted between another pillar and post.

  • jimpalmer38 Jim Palmer (@jimpalmer38) reported from Crosby, England

    @virginmedia is there an outage in the Scunthorpe area? My set top boxes are flashing and I can't access my email or the internet

  • Darren_Barton19 Darren Barton (@Darren_Barton19) reported from Crosby, England

    @virginmedia I only have broadband. Can't get a signal on mobile. I am just fed up of the constant price rises £3.50 each year, we have been with you since it was NTL never had another internet provider, feel that loyal customers are taken for a ride.

  • GeoSandersonn George🪐 (@GeoSandersonn) reported from Bottesford, England

    virgin media must be down again because she hasn’t replied to my message in 63 hours.

  • paulscunny Paul wilson (@paulscunny) reported from Scunthorpe, England

    @chaserileyuk @virginmedia 7 weeks you lucky we're had wifi problems for over a year and still not sorted out

  • acheekylion CheekyLion :O (@acheekylion) reported from Scunthorpe, England

    @virginmedia It was mobile phone signal, it's been intermittent all morning. Currently I have 4g, but it's been fluctuating from no signal to 4g and back.

  • JayneLouise_94 Jayne Rutter (@JayneLouise_94) reported from Scunthorpe, England

    Great so my Virgin Media wifi is down and now I can’t get Vodafone 4G on my phone.

  • Drmalrob062 Malcolm Roberts (@Drmalrob062) reported from Scunthorpe, England

    @Banksie23Robert Yep, that's was the only response I got, through Twitter! The rest of virgin media comms are down, or waiting queue for 45min plus only to be told "we are aware and our engineers are working on it".

  • acheekylion CheekyLion :O (@acheekylion) reported from Scunthorpe, England

    @virginmedia I did this multiple times this morning, and tried my Sim in another phone. It looks like I'm starting to get constant 4g now *fingers crossed* but that was 8hours of intermittent service.

  • nickcurry74 Nick Curry. 19&6 🏆 (@nickcurry74) reported from Scunthorpe, England

    @virginmedia Is there a problem with the apps, iPlayer, amazon prime, more4 etc, none of them will work.

  • IJzendoornV Patrick v IJzendoorn (@IJzendoornV) reported

    @MisterGreenwich @virginmedia Outage. Probably no internet till Friday morning.

  • GarethM79 Gareth (@GarethM79) reported

    @Hookademus @theJeremyVine @virginmedia She's in for a rude awakening if she thinks they will "have" to move it. Likely the council will say "ok, yes you can drop it, when VM give permission" and VM will suck air through their teeth at having to do all that work.

  • gbam86 Graeme Bamber (@gbam86) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia @gbam96 Yes it has been cancelled now, it was the manner it took to get there! Nearly 20 mins of asking to cancel! he had a bad attitude. Very disappointed with the customer service

  • Blondell_S Blondell Shaw (@Blondell_S) reported

    @virginmedia @priya_shanmug Love that…. a few weeks ago it was a 5 day outage, got £30 comp, today 24 hrs and Zero and a “no fault service” as an explanation… working from home makes it a challenge, please in future carry out repairs overnight to avoid letting loyal customers down 😡😡

  • MisterGreenwich Mr Greenwich 🌈 (@MisterGreenwich) reported

    Anyone else having trouble with @virginmedia in #Greenwich right now? Been out for a while.

  • itsHayleeee it's hayleeee (@itsHayleeee) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, I done this first thing this morning. Estimate fix of 3pm, yet its now past 5pm and still no fix.

  • MarkCuerton Mark Cuerton (@MarkCuerton) reported

    @theJeremyVine @virginmedia I worked for a service provider. People do this all the time. They change the area, leaving external equipment exposed, & then expect it to be upgraded or removed. The Streetworks Act won’t be on her side when the full facts are presented. Only Virgin good will possibly?

  • psytcp psytcp (@psytcp) reported

    @virginmedia @snodsnuts Why does it happen though for your equipment to fail more often than on other providers?

  • c_vanadium0509 Claire Newton (@c_vanadium0509) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia any updates on the outage in SE London? What is the eta for resolution?

  • Dannuccino Dan (@Dannuccino) reported

    @virginmedia We've phoned numerous times about short disconnects on both wired and wireless devices. We're being told nothing is wrong and an engineer has been out and said the same. This is the most frustrating service we've ever been with and we've now had 12 disconnects in 48 hours.
