  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • vserafino19 Vito Serafino (@vserafino19) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia @tandcbroking Either a lot of people are checking the service status on the website or that site also not working. Cheers

  • kqbrain Khurram Qayam (@kqbrain) reported 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

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

    @virginmedia Broadband down in OX11 area.

  • FfrTweets FFR Tweets💥🚀 (@FfrTweets) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia really difficult to get connected with an agent and some decent support, been trying to reach for days, just get Bots! @richardbranson

  • ChavdogEvans Daniel Evans (@ChavdogEvans) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia my wifi seem to keep dropping out is there issues with it at the moment

  • 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 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.

  • 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

  • barrowboy78 ⚒ JOHN TURNER ⚒ (@barrowboy78) reported from Reading, England

    Anybody having problems with @virginmedia in the Reading area ……..?

  • danbon1973 Daniel Bonilla (@danbon1973) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia how do I check my virgin status if the status page doesn't work? Is there an outage in GU21 area?

  • CarolRothy Carol Rothwell (@CarolRothy) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia hello. Please could you advise how on earth I get in touch with someone by phone??. I’ve spent 15 mins navigating website to try and get to a person rather than a bot. I need to report an equipment fault which isn’t service specific

  • 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

  • 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!?

  • reddobowen ☁️ Chris Reddington (@reddobowen) reported from Winnersh, England

    @virginmedia - Internet seems to have gone down in RG41, and your status page isn’t working. Can you confirm / when will it be back? Thx

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

    @virginmedia @VirginMedia_TV trying to get through to your customer services for explanation of bill. #losingthewilltolive

  • PaulGDJ Paul Jempson (@PaulGDJ) reported

    @virginmedia Once again the engineer didn’t knock as requested. I was told on Friday that my complaint would be responded within 24-48 hrs, so #virginmedia are late with responding to my complaint as well. Such a poor experience

  • TheHack1982 Chris Hackworth (@TheHack1982) reported

    @virginmedia hi - my new router has been lost by @YodelOnline and my account appears to have been deleted online. Your call centre staff aren’t able to help. Can somebody please get in touch.

  • jamouse21 Jamie (@jamouse21) reported

    @virginmedia just had your 500mb five installed on Saturday, the signal strength doesn't reach my pc though. Engineer said I would need booster pods. The call centre agent said I have to upgrade to 1 gig broadband or pay a local engineer from my market around £100 to move modem

  • Jowster89 Gareth Jowett (@Jowster89) reported

    @virginmedia I've been living on this page given the issue over the weekend, no known issues not that I trust what this page says as it said that while there was an issue. Speeds are so bad I'm struggling to even work! A restart this morning hasnt fixed it either! No option for an engi either

  • IgorSalamanLFC Mickey Salaman (@IgorSalamanLFC) reported

    @virginmedia There have been zero problems it drops out daily and it’s getting ridiculous

  • StoneGringo ****** Rolling Stone (@StoneGringo) reported

    @virginmedia Tried that. Tried phoning. Answer "How sad too bad"

  • davidbrown1982 David Brown (@davidbrown1982) reported

    @virginmedia Just like when I told you someone crashed into the exchange taking out fibre cables and it took you 3 days to fix...... #everythinginyourpower 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

  • Anjie15 Anjela Winwood (@Anjie15) reported

    @virginmedia finally have email. However, trying to change my address is proving difficult. It keeps asking me to confirm. When I go to the email it states that it has changed but there is nowhere to confirm. Your help is greatly appreciated

  • graspaevinci Luca Gasparini (@graspaevinci) reported

    @virginmedia It appears the issue may have at last been fixed. Mohamed came on Sat and he was fantastic, such a contrast with last engineer who just left after two mins without doing anything. VM would really appreciate a speed bump to make up for nearly two weeks of disservice.

  • Javaid17 Javaid Iqbal (@Javaid17) reported

    @Sairy_Fairy19 @virginmedia Auto templated responses.. no customer service at all, I'm having the same problems!
