Jim Moore (@HamiltonNashHR) reported from Winnersh, EnglandSo @virginmedia is down again, and their 4G backup dongle has failed to take over AGAIN. In fact, it has never once failed over to 4G in any of the outages we’ve ever had. Why am I paying for this? 😡
-
GoldyMcGoldface (@Goldy73) reported from Farnborough, England@virginmedia The fact you have even done it without telling anyone is a shocking customer service move,especially in this day and age where a lot of people are working from home. Absolutely disgusting service I don't care how long it will take, I need to know of you plan to take it down so
-
Paul Collier (@Pablocollier) reported from Wokingham, England@virginmedia Patchy. And the weekends enquiry regarding possibly upgrading... Non existent service.
-
Nattytude (@nattytude) reported from Fleet, England@virginmedia Internet is down in GU51 since yesterday. When will it be up? Can't report it online, because we have no internet for it to check with!
-
CM40 (@CM40UK) reported from Blackwater, England@virginmedia Yes I have on multiple occasions, I have just been taking to engineer who running the 30 day test, while taking to him I had 3 lost connection issues. Your employees are trying say that I will have to pay to leave my contract, @Ofcom state, I can leave without penalty
-
Thom Gibbons (@TheBadgerG) reported from Farnborough, England@virginmedia Yes, zero issues in area for broadband, pulled apart and reset the router numerous times. It just keeps wanting to download new settings, works for a bit and then fails. Engineer now booked for next Wednesday which is an eternity running my business from home.
-
Alison Jane Wilson (@AlisonJaneWilso) reported from Camberley, England@virginmedia truly awful company stuck in the dark ages why would you trust them with broadband when after 3 months notice to quit they take full payment and then you have to apply for a refund !!! Company run by dinosaurs looking for opportunities to rip you off when leaving !
-
Pete (@gonnella) reported from Woodley, England@mattlintott @NetXL_dot_com Nice 👍🏻 got gig1 from @virginmedia but the upload is awful only 50mbit. Hope it gets increased to at least 100mbit soon.
-
faye harland (@fayeharland) reported from Reading, England@virginmedia Hi again. Just letting you know we’ve made contact with him and all seems fine. So please can we cancel the engineer for Friday.
-
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.
-
Alex Bennell (@ABennell4709) reported from Twyford, England@virginmedia broadband issues in RG10? Please could you look into ASAP? I have no connectivity at all. Thanks
-
Matt Rose (@mattrose18) reported from Farnborough, England@virginmedia TV is an issue. broadband is not. Tests are always either cannot connect at this time or say there is nothing wrong. Don’t see how my kit in the house can one minute have speeds on +300Mb to next to nothing?
-
Bowlesy (@Chateauneuf64) reported from Wokingham, England@virginmedia Broadband down again, 2nd week in a row. Had one day of service and stupidly canx Engineer due next day and hey presto back down we go again. 1 week wait for engineer, 1 day of BB, and now earliest slot for Engineer +1 week. Buyer beware. Typing whilst 50 mins holding with VM!
-
Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England@virginmedia Nope. There’s “nothing wrong” with the broadband according to the status page. Never is. It’s always the hub supposedly downloading updates. 10 weeks of this now, getting a bit bored of the lack of service TBH. This needs to be escalated.
-
James McFadden 🎮 (@McFadden1985) reported from Camberley, EnglandMy @virginmedia has completely gone down. On a Friday night & good Friday of all days. TV is completely blank 😣
-
Paul Collier (@Pablocollier) reported from Wokingham, England@virginmedia Sorry but no. If you can't monitor your own service provision why should I ?
-
Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, EnglandDear @VirginMedia, after 3x visits from technicians over 6 months (one of whom LIED about fixing bb/WiFi) I’m now back to no service (48 hours). Yes, tried rebooting, off/on etc, status says everything OK, Called yesterday and there IS an issue. When are you going to fix it?
-
CM40 (@CM40UK) reported from Blackwater, England@MoneySavingExp How about they just deliver consistent service? I am leaving Virginmedia and they are making it hard, there rules state if I don’t get the speeds promised they I can leave without penalties, I’ve had 7 times where I have connection in the last 3 days! @virginmedia @richardbranson
-
Marti Jerrard - K74 (@K74Marti) reported from Farnborough, EnglandEveryday this week and again today @virginmedia has stopped working… constant resets and in some cases down for 3-4 hrs at a time which is preventing work, training, education & entertainment! Come on #Virgin sort your reliability out pse
-
Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England@virginmedia Thanks. Done that. Multiple times. And over the last 6 months. And when I was an ntl: customer. And CableTel before that. 27 years of 56k > 350Mb and now it’s totally doing my head in. Unable to work from home properly. Boss won’t be happy!

Ashton Mawson (@MawsonAsht43296) reported@virginmedia broadband down in Gloucestershire, estimated fix is the 10/6, four days away, is that some sort of joke ?!? What’s actually going on. Elderly people who rely on the broadband are without essential services due to this, what’s happening ?!?!
-
Marion Browne (@MarionBrowne42) reported@keithapearson @virginmedia @MartinSLewis I think Yodel can challenge VM. They left a package at my neighbour no2, due to the layout of the close, no2 is nowhere near no3 and the photo of proof is also not no2 unless you are in the next close 🤬 An hour on a chat to discover that the driver is an idiot.
-
abdullah (@abdullah17801) reported@virginmedia Hi , I’m really disappointed for the customer service standard, I have been charged twice double my bill and I have contacted the customer service team they promised me to solve the problem and call me back in week time. Somehow now more than 10 days and no one call
-
Emily Atkins (@bahallathegreat) reported@virginmedia guys come on sat and the internet is down what’s going on this keeps happening every other week. I know the weather is bad but I pay good money I think I’ll have to go back to bt when contracts over
-
QQ (@RedmondJunkie) reported@virginmedia broadband down since yesterday all day. Claims that engineer fixed it at 5pm yesterday only for the service to be down again this morning. What did they fix exactly?! #poorservice#broadband
-
BeKind (@Yolandae) reported@virginmedia do you have any idea when our area will have service? I am unable to reach your customer service to book an engineer.
-
Sarah Loughran (@SarahDruscilla) reported@O2 since joining virgin media the coverage in Milton Keynes is terrible. I’m almost always on 1 bar. You’ve gone from being the best signal in the area to probably the worst.
-
Mick.W (@mrwood71) reported@virginmedia you have the most rudest and aggressive sales personnel that called me after checking your website and thinking of joining. @skytv you have the worst renewal offer after joining 15 years ago when returning from overseas service Any alternatives?
-
littlemisssunshine (@JulieFeronica) reported@virginmedia what's going on in CF14? The broadband is constantly dropping out. App is useless... always says there's nothing wrong until I check the hub, then it's an "intermittent signal". This is just woeful.
-
Lisa Harvey (@weeleesa) reported@virginmedia what is going on in EK G74 area? Estimated fix 3pm and been down since last night?? Surely can’t take so long to fix.
