  • mikeyh817 Mike (@mikeyh817) reported from Woodley, England

    Can I just say again @virginmedia is absolute shite. Had no internet for nearly an hour but “their system is down” so they can’t check it. Piss poor from this company

  • mikeyh817 Mike (@mikeyh817) reported from Woodley, England

    @virginmedia According to your fault page there’s nothing wrong yet when you call they agree there’s a problem. Again poor service from yourselves when your departments can’t agree!!!

  • MartinJerrard Martin Jerrard (@MartinJerrard) reported from Farnborough, England

    @Virgin_Victoria @virginmedia Thank you. Virgin Boffin says no issues in area. I have carried out 3 x fully resets and all I am getting is flashing areos and horizontal lines.

  • dionne_angus Dionne Angus (@dionne_angus) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia trying to watch a film on Netflix only for my tv to keep flashing up wired LAN cable is disconnected then wired network is connected what is going on I pay for virgin and Netflix and getting fed up

  • MartinJerrard Martin Jerrard (@MartinJerrard) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Just done that and again no issues reported. This is the second time this week I have had no connectivity. Just tried a reset and still nothing. How do I get an engineer out as this is becoming tiresome now given the price we pay.

  • mathers1981 Stephen Marshall (@mathers1981) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia absolute joke of a service. Try and leave them as they are having your pants down each month and it’s like trying to escape Alcatraz. Awful firm

  • mikeyh817 Mike (@mikeyh817) reported from Woodley, England

    @virginmedia putting on such excellent service again 😡😡😡😡 broadband been down now for over three hours. You clowns really are useless. Really wish we’d left you when we had the chance 😡😡😡😡😡

  • MartinJerrard Martin Jerrard (@MartinJerrard) reported from Farnborough, England

    @dinger3805 @virginmedia It's become a bit of a joke which is not funny anymore as I have lost 2 days pay now because of this given the price we pay. Appualing service at the moment.

  • MartinJerrard Martin Jerrard (@MartinJerrard) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia No as I am about to drive to work when I should be working from home as I do each Friday and Monday except poor service is preventing me doing do. I will make a formal complaint tonight as this is the second time this week.

  • spice1971 Graeme Spice (@spice1971) reported from Yateley, England

    @virginmedia Maybe you can pass on the fact 2 calls to two separate call centres (first was India, second Scotland) both dropped mid call. Assuming it wasn’t the operators maybe there is an issue. Didn’t happen to Philpines on third call. Annoying when hold times are long

  • gb20man Grant Baartman (@gb20man) reported from Bracknell, England

    Intermittent network service from @virginmedia again, seems I need to use my reliable personal hotspot from @VodafoneUK - at least I have a fallback plan.

  • melvinabrose millie p RN RHV QN (@melvinabrose) reported from High Wycombe, England

    Virgin media just rubbish. Just so disappointed in a service that for the past 2 months has been rubbish. Worked all over the house and even in the garden for all the time we have been customers but now only working on one side of the house and not upstairs.

  • MartinJerrard Martin Jerrard (@MartinJerrard) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia @Virgin_Victoria @AaronGaben Virgin says no issues in my area but all I am getting is flashing green arrows and no connectivity... full reset and switched off 3 tokes but to no avail.

  • RJHOTCHEF Ryan Wilson (@RJHOTCHEF) reported from Fleet, England

    @AlyInASpin @virginmedia Weird we are having the same problem #lag , @virginmedia whats the problem please. Very annoying now

  • gb20man Grant Baartman (@gb20man) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia Sorry to say that I contacted your online chat, but they offered no significant update other than 9th Sept for a fix and no offer of compensation as I am not experiencing a total loss of service. Not happy at all.

  • woodsa164 Alex George (@woodsa164) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia The worst Broadband provider 😡 The worst customer service 😡

  • InflightJames James (@InflightJames) reported from Wokingham, England

    Absolute SHIT customer service from @virginmedia today. Due have an iPhone delivered yet “for some reason” it was cancelled. Thanks for that.

  • MartinJerrard Martin Jerrard (@MartinJerrard) reported from Farnborough, England

    Slightest hint of bad weather and here we go again. it's only slightly damp here but already working from home has failed before it's even started. Think its time to switch ISP as this is becoming all to frequent from @virginmedia.. 2 lost days of work/pay this mth already.

  • gb20man Grant Baartman (@gb20man) reported from Bracknell, England

    Broadband service improved, good speed and customer service follow-up. Thank you @virginmedia much improved service.

  • KernowPrincess Lynn Gower (@KernowPrincess) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia internet appears to be up and down for RG30 2QT

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Tgreen4 Tracey 🐱 (@Tgreen4) reported

    @virginmedia As I said in my last tweet, it was for the notice period. The point is, I advised you today that I wanted to cancel. The 30 notice period takes me up to 13/2. As my DD came out yesterday (and you charge in advance) I'm covered until that date anyway. So why charge me more??

  • flamurgjini Flamur (@flamurgjini) reported

    @virginmedia what is going on? Your internet service has become worse then NTL back in the day!

  • topcatav Jon Hardy (@topcatav) reported

    @virginmedia why is it so difficult to remove services/ cancel a contract?

  • gsampford gillian sampford (@gsampford) reported

    @virginmedia So after being on hold for 45 minutes 🤬 finally get through then they hang up 🤬 trying to work from home with broadband that keeps dropping out 🤬 BT here we come

  • Tgreen4 Tracey 🐱 (@Tgreen4) reported

    @virginmedia I'm not sure why I'm being charged tbh. My DD for the next month came out of my account yesterday. My service is being disconnected on 13/2. Apparently, I'm being charged £17 (which isn't my normal DD amount) on 15/3 for the notice period.

  • salmantahir1 Salman Tahir (@salmantahir1) reported

    @virginmedia On hold on this number for over an hour, texted the number you provided earlier over an hour ago, no reply. I’ve wasted 4hrs of my day not to mention going in circles on Twitter with no resolution. I give up, awful company to deal with and I’ll be cancelling my service shortly

  • david_harman_uk David Harman : Follow me on Gab. (@david_harman_uk) reported

    @virginmedia what has happened to the internet speed in #Peterborough it down to single figures? #Homeschooling

  • _B_Carter barney carter (@_B_Carter) reported

    @virginmedia No, this is an ongoing issue - when it works it functions perfectly throughout the house. The problem is it continually crashes. When CS run tests they say all fine, off you go...

  • kealydaniel79 Daniel (@kealydaniel79) reported

    @virginmedia Ive reported online but when u go online to check they say there are ‘no issues’ but i have been having issue since last friday!

  • arsed_no NoOnesArsed (@arsed_no) reported

    @virginmedia I will raise it through the app again as the issue relates to continued service drop out, a one time test is not going to provide answers to the issue.
