    @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.

  • kirsten_willis Kirsten Willis BEM (@kirsten_willis) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia what is so difficult about customer service these days? Spent the last 4 days going through the repetitive process of checking out WiFi connection, eventually got a number to call TL get cut off after a 30 min wait! Not impressed!

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

    @virginmedia My husband has been unable to contact anyone at customer service. It seems our router has an intermittent fault. Please advise ASAP. My husband is a key worker (electricity generation), having a stable internet connection, is essential. 2/2

    @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

    @virginmedia Hi there. Never got my 5 GB SIM card as stated in my contract. Been waiting for over a month and never got it! Impossible to get through customer services to speak to a human...

  • samtomkins samtomkins (@samtomkins) reported from Henley-on-Thames, England

    @virginmedia how do I speak to someone about my mobile phone. I haven’t been able to swap my sim as my sim port is broken, so today you have cut me off, despite me still paying bills!!!

  • inmilla68 Inmita Medina (@inmilla68) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia 1hour waiting the first time and disconnected. This is the second time, still on the phone and waiting 55min. It is pretty much the whole day wasted trying to talk to customer services. Can you please help?

  • SpaWellbeing Spa Wellbeing (@SpaWellbeing) reported from Wokingham, England

    What’s wrong with Virgin Media? Unable to access my emails for several days now. Virgin say they’re working on it but the problem’s still not sorted. Is anyone else suffering this acute inconvenience?

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

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

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Tolekim Michael Lott (@Tolekim) reported

    30 minutes into my second call to @virginmedia (they dropped the first call) trying to get to speak to whoever "called" me now they are asking what the complaint is about. Maybe they called me using Virginmedia equipment which might explain why they were unable to get through!!!!

  • GrimTon L Honey (@GrimTon) reported

    @Ofcom @virginmedia @ASA_UK This isn't a new customer deal. This is a existing customer deal which is in my account when I log onto the Virgin Media website. I've been passed around department to department all day as nobody wants to sort this out and pure lies from VM. It's disgusting.

  • FgcLens FGCLens 📸 (@FgcLens) reported

    @virginmedia garbage service no internet for almost 5 hours and numerous outages throughout the month. Your service status is a lie, acknowledge the thousands of customers who cannot use the internet. Cancelled my contract which took over 40 minutes on the phone. You’re a joke.

  • 147_ste 🇬🇧Ste Howarth 147🇬🇧 (@147_ste) reported

    @virginmedia The speed isn't the problem, wifi drops out completely and rarely comes back without rebooting the router. I presume the router is knackered.

  • Otherside8170 Tims beard (@Otherside8170) reported

    @virginmedia I've lost connection at some point every day for the last month yet your putting your chargers up,do I get anything off my Bill for the loss of service?!!!
