• 
  Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported 5 minutes ago 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.

  We have issue with #HGVdrivers but why @virginmedia broadband had issues for the last few days in RG6 area. Pretty bad service. @Ofcom

  @GiganetUK @virginmedia 13:25. Down again…

  Phil Stacey (@PhilStace20) reported 11 minutes ago from Maidenhead, England

  @denman79 @virginmedia The irony is that @virginmedia are more like the Pistols -‘No point in asking you’ll get no reply’ and they seem ‘Pretty Vacant’ but ‘Never mind all that…..’ can someone please take some responsibility and ownership that seems to be sadly lacking atm

• 
  Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported 14 minutes ago 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.

  @virginmedia what's going on with my internet. No notification of problems!

• 
  Mike Biscoe (@MikeBiscoe1) reported 18 minutes ago from Reading, England

  @virginmedia *sigh*. Been directed to this many times. Had engineers referred many times. This is a persistent issue that raises its ugly head far too frequently

• 
  Paul Collier (@Pablocollier) reported 19 minutes ago from Wokingham, England

  @virginmedia Sorry but no. If you can't monitor your own service provision why should I ?

• 
  Tom (@Tom38971529) reported 21 minutes ago from Wokingham, England

  Khurram Qayam (@kqbrain) reported 25 minutes ago 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

  DimiD (@DimiD35089880) reported 31 minutes ago from Camberley, England

  @virginmedia We have engineer booked for today to see what is the issue as since I upgraded never had such a bad service experience for the last 12 years with @virginmedia

• 
  Bowlesy (@Chateauneuf64) reported 31 minutes ago 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!

• 
  Tim Bourne (@TimSBourne) reported 32 minutes ago from Wokingham, England

  @virginmedia I'm sick of explaining this again & again - see previous tweets & msgs to VM. It isn't even noted - yesterday 2nd line support looked at my ticket & said I'm "not receiving any emails" NO NO NO! Just emails with etickets attached, even tho get non ticket emails from same sources

  Deborah Jessup (@Debbiejojessup) reported 37 minutes ago from Woodley, England

  Trying to cancel our Virgin Broadband what a nightmare. On hold for 90 mins still no one answers from the cancellation department. #virginmedia @virginmedia

  Dear @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?

• 
  Alyson Leitch (@Geordiesbird) reported 38 minutes ago from Wokingham, England

  @virginmedia is there an outage in Woking? No WiFi at all for 2 hours so far. 😫😫🤬

• 
  Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported 45 minutes ago from Farnborough, England

  ‘ere, @VirginMedia, it’s been a full month now of totally unreliable service at my house; 5 engineers later, with the last call to 0345 454 111 on Friday saying you KNOW there’s a problem and it WILL be fixed in 24 hours. I called bullshit. I was right. Sort this out!!!

  Daniel Sherlock (@mcsherlocks) reported 47 minutes ago from Wokingham, England

  Andy Form (@AndyFormUK) reported 3 minutes ago

  @Benleo @virginmedia We have an issue that’s been going on for 12months. As soon as my wife uses her laptop everything else in the house stop working, Xbox, streaming, even phones. I have 350 GB package and was told I need to upgrade my package to the top one to “fix” the issue. 10 plus calls, hours on hold been past from different departments, engineer visits that don’t turn up and engineers that turn up and say there is a issue with it and someone will be touch when it’s fixed. £40 goodwill I was offered and a call 2 months ago, I’ve even up trying.

• 
  Anumcara (@Anumcaras) reported 4 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I will be in touch by Monday. I’ve just discovered two layers of payments added to my credit file. Although there was no services connected because your call centre signed me up with an engineer. Knowing I was leaving the country and I needed the internet for my cctv. I was reluctant but rejoined sky and your call centre refused to cancel and persuaded me to move the account to a different address. An address that’s under renovation and empty. There’s something afoot about how all this has been handled and I will be requesting my credit file is amended with your support. Going forth I will update publicly on this thread any success or failures I have with these issues.

  @virginmedia Is there a customer services number I can call please?

• 
  Emma Constantine 💙 (@ConstantineEmma) reported 7 minutes ago

  @Plusnet please can you help-we have been in contact with you numerous times without a resolution over an issue with our switch to you from Virgin media-Virgin are saying we owe them hundreds of pounds which we don’t as we had switched to you.

• 
  Steve Hard (@PercivalPeabody) reported 7 minutes ago

  @Benleo In the end, I wasn't prepared to waste my time trying to get blood from a stone, so I called my bank to report it as fraud. Whether they put it down as fraud or not, I don't know, but they knew all about Virgin Media and did a chargeback for me.

• 
  F Smith (@fsmith82) reported 9 minutes ago

  @virginmedia no internet as box is out of date (family member had same issue a few weeks ago) & engineer can’t come until Monday. Why aren’t you contacting customers to upgrade BEFORE we loose a service we pay for???????

• 
  Jen 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🇮🇱🍷 (@mrsjen2023) reported 10 minutes ago

  @virginmedia @RobRollin2 If you have the 1gb they are free plus most WiFi issues are due to devices & not the service. Plus you can if want put in modem mode & use your own equipment
