  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • bucksbowler Bucksbowler (@bucksbowler) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @virginmedia Still having connection issues in High Wycombe

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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 !

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

    @Bluebird_7777 @virginmedia Cancel your direct debit. And when they call you - ask them to fix your box

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

    @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!

  • amo_singh Amo Sira (@amo_singh) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia sort ya shit out! Mans trying to chill!

  • 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

  • cobysaur Ryan Byford (@cobysaur) reported from Wokingham, England

    I wonder if @virginmedia and @vodafoneuk use the same backbone or something. Both services are down or extremely slow since 17:00

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

    Virgin Media on Twitter right now: We are sorry about the outage and are working hard to fix the issue. CTRL+C, CTRL+V CTRL+V CTRL+V CTRL+V CTRL+V CTRL+V

  • GariClark Gari Clark (@GariClark) reported from Reading, England

    Hi @virginmedia, I'm trying to pay a bill through your app, but every time I try to pay, it keeps saying ”session has timed out” and has done for the last couple of days. Before this, I've never had an issue with it but it's not happening this time. Please advise. Thanks.

  • 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!

  • 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

  • alexbloor Bloor (@alexbloor) reported from Bracknell, England

    In case it affects you looks like virgin media are currently having problems.

  • 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 😡

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • E10__mess E10 Mess (@E10__mess) reported

    @virginmedia OK so we’re back to square one where Virgin Media don’t care. Who can I make a complaint to because this is disgusting treatment considering my dad was a customer since the days where you were cable & wireless?! Yet as a family, you’re forcing us to pay £300 to get out a contract

  • Alex01438918 Dear Twattervoid (@Alex01438918) reported

    @russell_kane @virginmedia They don’t seem to have twigged that Twitter chatter about poor service from several celebs, trying to manage Teams calls with 60+ colleagues when services keep dropping out etc… makes a bigger -ve impression than the Infinitely Crap logo and painting everything red.

  • isaac_fellick Isaac Fellick (@isaac_fellick) reported

    @virginmedia Can you organise a member of your team to be in touch. I need another 18 months on my contract but what I am being quoted is too much. WhatsApp customer service is completely useless

  • ANDYZIPRITCHARD ANDY P (@ANDYZIPRITCHARD) reported

    @virginmedia I really don't understand. I sorted a new contract BEFORE the old one had expired. And I've never had charges in the 4 years of being with you. These hidden costs are made up and not explained to me anywhere on paperwork or recorded phone call. How do I get refunded!

  • Oojoodeboo Juliette Cannock 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇺🇦 (@Oojoodeboo) reported

    @virginmedia I have been whatsapping with you customer service team since 0946 this morning and am getting pretty frustrated. I just want my account cancelled without having to pay you £77. It's not difficult!

  • RyanV7 ryan ellitott (@RyanV7) reported

    @virginmedia I have two boxes with the flashing light of death, been on hold for 20 mins (music is awful) is there a quicker way to have replacement boxes sent out?

  • onemistert Mr T (@onemistert) reported

    A sense of satisfaction in solving a problem created by the @virginmedia 360 box which can only be controlled by their Bluetooth remote. No good when box located in rack. Useless service from Virgin but forum found solution via #OneforAll remote for £14.99. Job done!

  • Oojoodeboo Juliette Cannock 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇺🇦 (@Oojoodeboo) reported

    @virginmedia OK, I'll give it a try and get back to you if it doesn't work out

  • carolinecarr139 Caroline (@carolinecarr139) reported

    @virginmedia replaced my router by engineer, sent another in the post. Rang to get pack to send back. You text this morning to tell me you had activated the one being sent back and cut my working one off, currently 45 mins into convo and can't fix it! Useless

  • trevshoops trev 🍀🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@trevshoops) reported

    @virginmedia Hi I was wondering if you could help me out I got one of those voip phone adapters to plug into my hub3 router but the hub is upstairs and the phone line is downstairs can you please help me out?
