  • 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

  • AronGunningham Aron Gunningham (@AronGunningham) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia RG6 no service

  • 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

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

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

  • ABennell4709 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

  • 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 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.

  • 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 Reading, England

    @virginmedia @LudaLukeUK That webpage isn't working. Presumably because your network is down!

  • 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.

  • 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!

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

    @virginmedia Broadband down in OX11 area.

  • 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!?

    @virginmedia Is it working again? What is the problem? Any actual updates?

  • RealGusFringLP Gustavo Fring (@RealGusFringLP) reported

    @THATJinxMain @virginmedia To me, it feels like another denial of service hit, however those services are complicated and the likelyhood of a technical fault is still most plausible.

  • heatherjcla Heather Clark (@heatherjcla) reported

    @JLeadbeatter @virginmedia Ditto. In Portugal. Was just coming on to try and get in touch with someone. No network since mid afternoon.

  • EdBoi182 Ed Boi (@EdBoi182) reported

    @ttomconnolly @virginmedia Mines back up but everything is buffering like **** it’s a joke

  • AOTVaultBoy Attack Of The Vault-Boy (@AOTVaultBoy) reported

    @virginmedia Yeah. Hey, either you charge us a LOT less or you let me break contract so I can go with someone else, because I'm sick of your ****.

  • sharky_1_ SHARKY GAMING (@sharky_1_) reported

    @virginmedia Sorry would have messaged tou back sooner, but my Internet services were down again. Ave been with virgin well over a decade & my is over £60 you think the service you are providing me warrants the price increase?

  • eladise Daniela Othieno (@eladise) reported

    @virginmedia I can't connect to any networks manually, it says network not available, whichever one I select.

  • J_Young_23 Jake Young (@J_Young_23) reported

    @virginmedia How do you get the SAME problem twice in the same day?! Absolute farce of a company. All your technicians must of got their qualifications free with a happy meal did they?.. Shite!

  • FuscoTV Angelina Fusco (@FuscoTV) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    Dreadful #biz service @virginmedia all day and evening. To add to the problem @ITVX also stuttering

  • KimMCutter Kim Mount (@KimMCutter) reported

    @vmbusiness Have to wonder why you're copying (later) the residential service tweets instead of providing comms to business customers.
