    @virginmedia my wifi seem to keep dropping out is there issues with it at the moment

  • kqbrain Khurram Qayam (@kqbrain) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia let me down once again with their pathetic service. First the broadband was extremely slow all day and now the Hub is gone. No emergency appointment and I have to wait for a week for a technician visit. @Ofcom

  • RNeacsu Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia Internet keeps disconnecting. Called, useless as always. Intermittent issues or connectivity issues. Just send an engineer to check, why wait for another 24h when this is an ongoing issue. I've even reset the hub, still same issues.

  • hoarp001 Peter ***** (@hoarp001) reported from Fleet, England

    @virginmedia my broadband is running at 10mbps (supposed to be 200). The app has done a "scan" and it says there is a network error and check back in 24 hours. Problem is, it's still slow three days later and there appears to be no more help on offer. Now what?

  • callum_penny Callum Penny (@callum_penny) reported from Fleet, England

    @virginmedia no WiFi for the past 4 hours now… have ran tests to solve issues. Says service is fine in area again now but still nothing? Gu52 area code

  • pears0 gonzo (@pears0) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia We are sorry you are still waiting to be connected to one of the team. Our wait times are very high at the moment due to an unprecedented demand to speak to the team & we are experiencing some issues with our internal systems. This may mean a delay in being transferred to one of

  • RNeacsu Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia And yes I called to your outage number, apparently there is no known issue in the area. Even though last night at 11.30pm in the app the status check showed every service is down, even though they weren't down last night. This happens only during working hours.

  • shaun1968 shaun harley (@shaun1968) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia I'm expecting a replacement set top box to replace a broken tivo. Told it will be delivered Weds. but I've had no confirmation email and not showing in my virgin app. Can anyone help

  • Rochdale_Cowboy Craig (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Maidenhead, England

    Took out an @O2 account as part of some 'volt' deal with @virginmedia. My god O2 are bad. Apparently you have to wait a few months to access your account online to wait until their systems "catch up" for new joiners. Shouldn't have bothered.

  • MikeBiscoe1 Mike Biscoe (@MikeBiscoe1) reported from Reading, England

    If anyone is interested in how much @virginmedia are overcharging for their dreadful service, I’ve just been offered a price match on cancellation to move to a different supplier. £27.50/month for a service for which they originally increased price to £105/month

  • kqbrain Khurram Qayam (@kqbrain) reported from Reading, England

    Another day of pathetic experience on @virginmedia broadband service. No broadband service in RG6 area. Regretting my decision to switch. @Ofcom @DowndetectorUK

  • MikeBiscoe1 Mike Biscoe (@MikeBiscoe1) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia @VirginMedia_TV trying to get through to your customer services for explanation of bill. #losingthewilltolive

  • Rochdale_Cowboy Craig (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia I don't know. You never answer the phone when I call you.

  • RNeacsu Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia Broadband down in OX11 area.

  • Rochdale_Cowboy Craig (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia @elise_john85 So you're whacking up Elsie's cost because you have more customers (who are presumably also paying you) using the service, and you want to use Elsie extra £4.50 / month so you can invest in services that attract even more customers?!? Get in the bin!

  • pears0 gonzo (@pears0) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia so, I've been trying for over 3 hours now to cancel my contract and absolutely no progress made so far!!! 3 hours. Surely this is a breach of ofcoms rules to make cancellation a reasonably quick and easy process!?

  • vserafino19 Vito Serafino (@vserafino19) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia @tandcbroking Either a lot of people are checking the service status on the website or that site also not working. Cheers

    @virginmedia really difficult to get connected with an agent and some decent support, been trying to reach for days, just get Bots! @richardbranson

  • CarolRothy Carol Rothwell (@CarolRothy) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia hello. Please could you advise how on earth I get in touch with someone by phone??. I’ve spent 15 mins navigating website to try and get to a person rather than a bot. I need to report an equipment fault which isn’t service specific

  • atetoomanymars JoMars (@atetoomanymars) reported

    @virginmedia nobody answering on your phone number using my mobile (not Virgin)😔WhatsApp redirected me to ring from (faulty) landline and not highlighted as part of widespread #Darwen issues. Need to report as don't want to be billed for the 5 day call it thinks I'm on Help!

  • jools067 Tinks 😁💕🥂 (@jools067) reported

    @virginmedia I've been on the phone an hour, refund eventually agreed via cheque but as I've stated, the service of your company is horrendous but I'm stuck with you for another 9 months, I'm on countdown to leave

  • Brasfort49 Julian Armstrong (@Brasfort49) reported

    @virginmedia I don’t want to talk to India and be confronted by a hard sell uninterested in what I want. I want to study your packages… so why: “Bad Request Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. Size of a request header field exceeds server limit”

  • HadidMubashar Hadid Mubashar (@HadidMubashar) reported

    @virginmedia What is happening with the broadband? I've restarted my router and internet still not working. 2 green arrows are showing up on the router. A problem seems to be happening every week. If it isn't resolved soon I might have to switch. Having to use my hotspot to write

  • atetoomanymars JoMars (@atetoomanymars) reported

    @virginmedia Any insight into today? Apparently issues in our postcode? Been off over 12 hrs now. Do we get anything back for this?

  • TraceyBuzzGThom Tracey Thompson (@TraceyBuzzGThom) reported

    @virginmedia hi please can you help my password not working asked for a reset and now it won't let me go past the 7th digit to complete reset

  • Rebecca90705304 Rebecca Harris (@Rebecca90705304) reported

    @Tanhouse1 @virginmedia Ive just cancelled as there “best deal” still wasn’t as good as a new customer. They lied and hid changes until my “new” contract come through discussing.

  • gillian_h_79 Gilly (@gillian_h_79) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve just been told by a friend that you’ve advised 3 weeks to restore service. Someone else has been told this was planned works and customers notified - I certainly haven’t been warned in advance. I will be contacting @Ofcom
