  • TippingScott Scott Tipping (@TippingScott) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia funny how I've got to use my own data to complain about our virgin, the wifi goes down every single day!

  • toewad1 toewad1 (@toewad1) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Last night was a joke with gaming, the lag was stupid with @virginmedia but with @bt I will be getting 150mb down 40meg up, I can get 350meg down 50meg up, ipv6, I prob can use my own router if I need it, your hub3 lag spikes 150mb to 265mb in split seconds can't be good.

  • toewad1 toewad1 (@toewad1) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia I think 10 years + with you is enough now, I will have more choice, I can use my own router without messing with that cheap problem filled hub 3 and it is crap read the reviews.

  • tommylbf Thomas Hall MB Vans (@tommylbf) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia TV not working at all and WiFi always on and off.

  • AbigailOgier Abs (@AbigailOgier) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Not sure - we gave up and watched the football instead with the plan of trying catch up! Will try the reboot if all else fails but wasn't sure if it were a wider problem as it was only that one programme...

  • ChrisPhelps78 Chris Phelps (@ChrisPhelps78) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia guys virgin is down M41 manchester useless don’t give me restate the router I work in the industry. 350meg is worse than 200 that’s with boosters and poweline adapters #virginmedia

  • ChrisPhelps78 Chris Phelps (@ChrisPhelps78) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia so you have deleted my tweet about the shocking service in the M41 Manchester Area great customer service to a 14 year customer. 350meg is worse than 200. I want a refund and not a joker telling me to reset my router #virginmedia

  • toewad1 toewad1 (@toewad1) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia It is gaming lag, as I have said many times it's not the broadband going into the hub 3, it's what comes out of it on the xb1 just lag every game, I'm not in contract with you & @openreach fttp has been installed on my street so I will cancel soon I will never use VM again.

  • robevansphoto Rob Evans (@robevansphoto) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia It says there is no issue. However we have been losing WiFi connection serval times daily.

  • bob9958 Bob (@bob9958) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia I have just tried to run a test on your website and guess what....... there is a problem with that page/service right now!!!! We're sorry this isn't the page you wanted This part of the site isn't working at the moment, but it'll be up and running again soon. 1/2

  • Reidy_25 liam (@Reidy_25) reported from Prescot, England

    @virginmedia your internet is terrible and you have the cheek to charge people a small fortune for the use of it

  • hoplessmattie Mattie Hughes (@hoplessmattie) reported from Runcorn, England

    @virginmedia TV & internet down in Hallwood Park, Runcorn (WA72GG & WA72FB [at least]). Big Match Tonight @LFC ... Please resolve quickly!!

  • AbigailOgier Abs (@AbigailOgier) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia This evening audio description appeared on Dave, but this time we were able to switch it off with no issue (although we hadn't switched it on deliberately)

  • uah9 Usman (@uah9) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia @Saurav Wow this is really bad, I would definitely report this to watchdog. Unacceptable

  • sween007 Andrew Sweeney (@sween007) reported from Walkden, England

    @virginmedia @RAWKnights7 I am sick of the Broadband dropping, supposed to be on 100 super fast fibre, but it slows down all the time, thinking of leaving for another provider

  • Amymariehughes1 Amy Hughes (@Amymariehughes1) reported from Walkden, England

    I hate @TalkTalk so much. I wish @virginmedia didn't cost so much.. at least they don't put the phone down on people when their customers want to speak to the manager!!! FUMING!!!!

  • cml0702 claire (@cml0702) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia just had a member of staff on customer services be really rude to me.. I’m trying to sort my contract out and was really unhelpful. I hung up as he upset me 😬😬 😡

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Peter_Wilkins78 Peter Wilkins (@Peter_Wilkins78) reported from Merton, England

    @MariaMCasey @virginmedia That's a very ambiguous sentence. Not clear whether they'll only pay for working days, whether they'll pay for all days but only after 2 working days, whether the time starts from registering or whether it started from when the service went out.

  • Nuovovino John warr (@Nuovovino) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @VirginMediaNews @virginmedia 4th day without internet/TV/Phone it’s taking this long because there was never a plan B. Stop lying about how long this problem will take to fix, and make sure you have a hefty compensation package.

  • AnghellKim Kimberli Anghell (@AnghellKim) reported from Kingston upon Thames, England

    Damn this #virginmedia again. I pay every month a lot of money and still now 3 days without internet and TV! And I'm sure that they will charge for this too 😡😠 #mad #needtowork #notnormal

  • NedKell99403028 Ned Kelly (@NedKell99403028) reported from Lambeth, England

    @EdieKelly25 @virginmedia Go outside and flag down a Virgin van, and get them to fix it. It's the only way, you get to talk to anyone. Their customer service is shite!

  • Leximar2009 Alex Marriott (@Leximar2009) reported from Kingston upon Thames, England

    engineers in New Malden saying a large foundation drilling machine on an adjacent property drilled into a duct containing the fiber optic cables causing the problem. they said that the Virgin site states the issue will be fixed by 1600hrs on Friday and they laughed @virginmedia

  • llima3000 Luiz Otavio (@llima3000) reported from Merton, England

    I can say that @virginmedia is giving me a proper nightmare before Christmas! I’m going to have 3 days with no Internet, TV and Phone... and they just push the fix date/time forward... should be fixed at 9 am, now they pushed to 5 PM... always that way! #fail #virginmediadown

  • shazmall sharron (@shazmall) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia we have been on hold on the telephone for 15 minutes now, customer care is outrageous @richardbranson

  • tiggsie Sarah Ward (@tiggsie) reported from Kingston upon Thames, England

    @JackieSmith_nmc @virginmedia @SkySports Thankfully 😅 but looking at the twitter feed the communication with all their other customers seems really bad

  • shazmall sharron (@shazmall) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia We have just been told our box is broken and getting a replacement on Monday

  • RichardDPoole Richard Poole 🔶 #Kohler4Wimbledon (@RichardDPoole) reported from Merton, England

    .@virginmedia I’ve given you the space to fix a complicated problem not of your making but your lack of empathy & respect for your customers demonstrated by your inability to level with us and be honest about the fix time is now ridiculous.
