  • 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!

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

  • fayeharland
    faye harland (@fayeharland) reported from Woolhampton, England

    @virginmedia hi there not sure if you can help. We’ve been trying to contact my Uncle for a few days on his landline and it’s going direct to the message service. We’re getting quite worried about him and wondered if it’s possible to see if there’s a fault on the line?

  • CRJG_
    Cameron🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@CRJG_) reported from Bracknell, England

    Huge congrats to @virginmedia for having a web chat service that is so bad that I joined the chat to upgrade my broadband, but after waiting for an eternity for replies I’m pretty much ready to just close my account

  • McFadden1985
    James McFadden 🎮 (@McFadden1985) reported from Camberley, England

    My @virginmedia has completely gone down. On a Friday night & good Friday of all days. TV is completely blank 😣

  • Flozephine
    Flo (@Flozephine) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia no broadband in RG12 for over an hour - can’t report on your service status page as it appears down? Any update gratefully received 🙏🏻

  • Chateauneuf64
    Bowlesy (@Chateauneuf64) reported from Wokingham, England

    Really hard to support brand @virginmedia and recommend them to anyone for Broadband. They may be the only competitor to BT but do you have to compete for last place?

  • pmross
    Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Nope. There’s “nothing wrong” with the broadband according to the status page. Never is. It’s always the hub supposedly downloading updates. 10 weeks of this now, getting a bit bored of the lack of service TBH. This needs to be escalated.

  • K74Marti
    Marti Jerrard - K74 (@K74Marti) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia I have followed every instruction as advised. Turned off, set, check status and even network issue in area.. it just keeps dropping out daily with no know issues. It’s as if faster broadband has actually slowed it all down! Pse sort it out

  • mcsherlocks
    Daniel Sherlock (@mcsherlocks) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Internet down at the moment in Woking also yesterday. Checked with my neighbours also down so is system wide

    We have issue with #HGVdrivers but why @virginmedia broadband had issues for the last few days in RG6 area. Pretty bad service. @Ofcom

  • CM40UK
    CM40 (@CM40UK) reported from Blackwater, England

    @virginmedia My cancellation date is already set 11th Nov 2022, as I have to give 30 days notice. You lost my business yesterday after one of your CS decided to try and change my package to make it cheaper thinking that would sort problem, he wasn’t listening to complaint!

  • pmross
    Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Thanks. Done that. Multiple times. And over the last 6 months. And when I was an ntl: customer. And CableTel before that. 27 years of 56k > 350Mb and now it’s totally doing my head in. Unable to work from home properly. Boss won’t be happy!

  • callum_penny
    Callum Penny (@callum_penny) reported from Fleet, England

    @virginmedia no WiFi for the past 4 hours now… have ran tests to solve issues. Says service is fine in area again now but still nothing? Gu52 area code

    DimiD (@DimiD35089880) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia We have engineer booked for today to see what is the issue as since I upgraded never had such a bad service experience for the last 12 years with @virginmedia

    Just had a call from Jerry at Virginmedia media wanting to help me mend my broadband issues (that I don’t have). After challenging him he told me to find the largest ***** & shove it up my arse!! Charming!! His No. 02038399963 #virginmedia #ScamAlert

  • 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

  • HamiltonNashHR
    Jim Moore (@HamiltonNashHR) reported from Winnersh, England

    So @virginmedia is down again, and their 4G backup dongle has failed to take over AGAIN. In fact, it has never once failed over to 4G in any of the outages we’ve ever had. Why am I paying for this? 😡

  • TheBadgerG
    Thom Gibbons (@TheBadgerG) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Yes, zero issues in area for broadband, pulled apart and reset the router numerous times. It just keeps wanting to download new settings, works for a bit and then fails. Engineer now booked for next Wednesday which is an eternity running my business from home.

  • leaver_sharon
    Sharon Leaver (@leaver_sharon) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia Sorted now. Received an envelope last week with an adaptor. A leaflet inside stated we would receive an email when to change it. No such email received. Communication very poor

  • MarionBrowne42
    Marion Browne (@MarionBrowne42) reported

    @keithapearson @virginmedia @MartinSLewis I think Yodel can challenge VM. They left a package at my neighbour no2, due to the layout of the close, no2 is nowhere near no3 and the photo of proof is also not no2 unless you are in the next close 🤬 An hour on a chat to discover that the driver is an idiot.

  • ZachcloseYT

    Because of you @ScottishPower virgin media went down don't turn our power off again without letting us know you have to give people notice

  • CarryOnGemma
    CarryOnGemma (@CarryOnGemma) reported

    And the two guys who help us get our media up and running don't get a mention because Virgin have not asked us how they did. That'e because they were from another region and it doesn't represent how **** VIRGIN MEDIA is in Scotland.

  • sodiumlights
    Sodium (@sodiumlights) reported

    In the meantime, they're offering the same to new customers for less than £30. You know what? I'm going to make you fix your broken kit and then I'm going to find a new provider. **** you and your stupid ******* games, @virginmedia

  • LaraMitchard
    Lara Mitchard (@LaraMitchard) reported

    @virginmedia There seems to be a broadband issue in HP1 as I have no services and your outage page has identified an issue. Any idea how long this will be down?

  • ross_biagini
    London leaver (@ross_biagini) reported

    @virginmedia It went down at the weekend so please can you refund me?

  • ScepturaMelody
    Melody Lane-Hayman (@ScepturaMelody) reported

    @virginmedia I realise that could of been without your control but they are still available on sky so I should of gone with sky obviously never mind I found movie channels I didn’t even realise I had as they were below the already greyed out ones that were paid for channels

  • fergal_hickey
    Fergal Hickey (@fergal_hickey) reported

    @VirginMediaIE Shocking Virgin Media Mobile. Can’t receive calls from Vodafone numbers for 6wks now. Now told it’s a widespread problem after being fobbed off for a month. Not good enough - VM should have been honest with subscribers and advised them but chose deceit instead
