    @virginmedia Broadband in GU14 is up and down like a "****** draws". I pay for 350 Mbps but am getting much less than that. I've rebooted and reset my Hub 3, please sort it out!

    @virginmedia Came back on Sunday morning, obvs pleased it was fixed but a 14 hour outage this weekend following a 46 hour outage last weekend, service used to be so good but seems to be very unreliable at the moment

  • bmm1979 Becky (@bmm1979) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia hi, I’m trying to contact you regarding a mobile phone contract I wish to cancel, but can’t get through by phone and the chat function won’t pick up my problem

  • philip_e_davies Philip E Davies (@philip_e_davies) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia A fuse had tripped out on Friday - literally took engineer a few seconds to fix it

  • westy_1966 JOHN WEST ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (@westy_1966) reported from Camberley, England

  • terrygparrott TGP (@terrygparrott) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia I'm paying for 350 Mbps and getting less than 100, very poor now. You website says no problems so its telling porkies!

  • OutdoorDaveGB David Bruton (@OutdoorDaveGB) reported from Reading, England

    @GBRChris_A @virginmedia Not good! Unfortunately my experience of their Customer Service/Technical support when required a couple of years ago was frankly lamentable. Lots of promises absolutely zero action/solutions

  • aamer74 aamer habib (@aamer74) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia It is all plugged in but every day when it gets hot it stops working and does not come on till the late evening and in the morning it’s the same back to not working

  • Elobeid82Sausan SassyElo (@Elobeid82Sausan) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @virginmedia No interest connection in High Wycombe. Please advise on when the issue will be resolved.

  • OutdoorDaveGB David Bruton (@OutdoorDaveGB) reported from Reading, England

    @PhelanHill @bt_uk @virginmedia If it works it's brilliant but if it doesn't @virginmedia 's Customer Service is woeful in my experience (and @GBRChris_A 's) Currently even with all the people working at home it is good @ 200 Mbps !

  • philip_e_davies Philip E Davies (@philip_e_davies) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Down again! Your service is a shambles at the moment

  • philip_e_davies Philip E Davies (@philip_e_davies) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Came back on late Sunday afternoon - obvs pleased its back on but shouldn’t really have taken 46 hours to fix

  • philip_e_davies Philip E Davies (@philip_e_davies) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia I texted that number yesterday at 1840 and never got a reply

  • Rochdale_Cowboy Rochdale Cowboy (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia Perhaps try kerpying your internet service 'up' for 26mins. Currently you're up to 17mins past the hour before it fails. Keep practicing.

  • Boanz62 Martin S (@Boanz62) reported from Reading, England

    @barrowboy78 @virginmedia Couldn’t stream a film last night as broadband was sooooo slow! It’s rubbish really.

  • boffbowsh Paul Bowsher (@boffbowsh) reported from Wokingham, England

    Virgin Media down again today. Getting increasingly tempted by FTTPoD.

  • chopper2fit ruthless (@chopper2fit) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia I would never ever recommend your broadband service to anyone !! Constant issues! Came back to you from sky as was promised a much better service !! Guess what it’s worse than ever

  • nigel_dawson Nigel (@nigel_dawson) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia just switched to you guys this week to get away from poor broadband! What a joke this is, now paying more and I have no service at all. Cheers 😡

  • HollySquirrel Kim Marie Pike (@HollySquirrel) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia We need this sorting, as there are 3 of us working from home, involving video meetings. How do we get in touch with you to sort our services out? Our TIVo box is also slow to respond and on-demand isn’t working, due to internet problems. Help. Now. Please.

    Good old @virginmedia Any chance of you guys fixing the issue that’s been causing an outage in my area since fri 15/07???? Paying good money for a service you’re clearly not providing 😡

  • Matthew53727762 Matthew Hooper (@Matthew53727762) reported

    @virginmedia “Matthew, I can understand how you must be feeling about this. But it is still not identified as an outage in the area.”

  • ann_ellison Kerrie-Ann Ellison (@ann_ellison) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia It’s taken 4hrs to get your incompetent team to cancel the package properly. Now there is just the matter of the Overdue bill and the final bill.

  • TekNeil TekNeil Sim Racing 🏁 🇬🇧 (@TekNeil) reported

    @virginmedia @virginhelp Net eventually came back from 0.2Mb! But today we called to adjust package (£150 a month!) and keeping the same package got it down to £85. This was iterated many times. "£85 for the same package." And we get a message to confirm a contract at £111?! Now we'll have to call again!

  • lorr1e1 Lorrie (@lorr1e1) reported

    @virginmedia Your technician installed it its all 3 services it's til not working blinking arrows on both units it's well over 24 hours what's going on

  • saikatdutta Saikat Dutta (@saikatdutta) reported

    @virginmedia Please do the needful to cancel this new generated bill or else I need to inform my bank to stop you for any upcoming DD. Don’t give a solution to call that virgin customer service number, where I have spent 30 hours last time with success on 31st hour. 3/3

  • staylorscotland Stephen Taylor (@staylorscotland) reported

    @virginmedia No they just don’t turn up and then when I call the help desk it’s “so sorry we arrange a new install date”. I’ve got no internet or landline and no smart TV now and all I get is sorry! It’s intolerable

  • wed_deb sheepgirl (@wed_deb) reported

    @virginmedia She went on break and I went to work she said it was as it was as she couldn't do anything else said she was going on break and to tell you the truth I went to work. I was stunned that she was allowed to go on break in the middle of sorting a customer. Unprofessional is the word.

  • RuthMcD21434281 Ruth McDermott (@RuthMcD21434281) reported

    @virginmedia That’s the message I keep getting. It’s appalling service from Virgin.

  • ann_ellison Kerrie-Ann Ellison (@ann_ellison) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Chatting to your customer service team, she blaming me for disconnecting the chat but it’s you lot
