Alyson Leitch (@Geordiesbird) reported from Wokingham, England@virginmedia is there an outage in Woking? No WiFi at all for 2 hours so far. 😫😫🤬
-
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.

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.
-
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!?
-
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.
-

Caryn Sinclair (@ce141974) reported from Maidenhead, England@virginmedia your customer service is beyond bad!! When making a complaint because I have no internet your representative desires to shout over me! I’ve been waiting 3 days!! Shocking!!!
-
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
-
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?
-
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?
-

-
An tsean bhean bhocht 🇮🇪🇵🇱 (@CrimhthanMor) reported@crt_dean @TheAmanuensis @MalachySteenson They actually tend to be handpicked from state funded media, which is literally every media outlet in the country to be honest, Gript is an exception, I'm sure there are others but most are in some way or other recieving state support. Even Virgin media got handouts.
-
Tony McMahon 🇪🇺 (@devoidofthought) reported@virginmedia broadband / tv issue in PE27. Any clue on resolution? My son's trying to revise for A levels!!
-
NC (@deputynclegg) reported@Benleo @ChrisSleven @virginmedia I concur......Virgin are crap...and I moved to Sky at the earliest chance I could....but can also say Sky aren't much better - and they both make it as difficult as possible to actually talk to someone if you have a problem - I would say though that Virgin are the worst
-
John Mercer (@Merse2506) reported@virginmedia After a week after transfer I still have no NETFLIX. They said 24 hours a week ago. I am a Kylie fanand have already missed promos and now going to miss the show promoted for the past few weeks. If i miss it i will never trust VM again.
-
Neil Willett (@neilontour) reported@virginmedia your service is a joke at least half of my chanel’s are either not working or are very glitchy not the first time this has happened either
-
Marcus (@MarcusMarianoo) reported@virginmedia internet issues for 2 weeks now and still no update, very inconsistent when checking service status too, it goes from intermittent to everything ok every few times I check it?
-

Melody Richards 🇬🇧🏴 (@Melody9Earth) reported@Benleo @Scott7507064635 @virginmedia I once had Virgin Media broadband (because there was no alternative in the area) and I had the same awful experience with them. I hate them and would never use them again.
