  • 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?

  • 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

    @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

  • 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?

  • AronGunningham Aron Gunningham (@AronGunningham) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia RG6 no service

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

    @virginmedia all week had total Broadband outages and down again now (past hour). Received a text from VM with link to follow (self help) and guess what, I need Internet to access! Trying to WFH just impossible. Every hour we have issues.

  • kerrynnewman Kerryn Newman (@kerrynnewman) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @virginmedia what's going on with my internet. No notification of problems!

  • nickybootyy Nicky Booty (@nickybootyy) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia when will the problems in rg1 be resolved?

  • ABennell4709 Alex Bennell (@ABennell4709) reported from Twyford, England

    @virginmedia broadband issues in RG10? Please could you look into ASAP? I have no connectivity at all. Thanks

  • 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.

  • davedec60 Dave Crocker (@davedec60) reported from Reading, England

    So @virginmedia once more we have an outage, how many times now in the last 3 months? NOT GOOD ENOUGH!! Currently looking at switching supplier

  • iszi_lawrence iszi (@iszi_lawrence) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia internet is down in RG30 (router is white but no internet). Checked on mobile I’m not the only one experiencing problems in the area.

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

    @virginmedia Hi again. Just letting you know we’ve made contact with him and all seems fine. So please can we cancel the engineer for Friday.

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

    @virginmedia Broadband down again, 2nd week in a row. Had one day of service and stupidly canx Engineer due next day and hey presto back down we go again. 1 week wait for engineer, 1 day of BB, and now earliest slot for Engineer +1 week. Buyer beware. Typing whilst 50 mins holding with VM!

  • 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 🙏🏻

    @virginmedia @LudaLukeUK That webpage isn't working. Presumably because your network is down!

  • 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?

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

    @virginmedia And there you have the extent of VM customer care folks!

  • DamienPSmith 𝓓 𝓪 𝓶 𝓲 𝓮 𝓷 (@DamienPSmith) reported from Bracknell, England

  • edthurston Ed Thurston (@edthurston) reported

    @virginmedia My wife's work computer is connected by ethernet and doesn't have as many issues although recently she has had a message pop up about weak internet affecting call quality. Netflix is wired though and doesn't have issues so does mostly seem a WiFi issue.

  • KinninmontColin colin kinninmont (@KinninmontColin) reported

    @virginmedia No as I said he told me that was all he could do. I had only had the new 200mb service installed two weeks prior to calling at that point. Can you arrange something at your end.

  • midge60 Sue McCaffray 💙 (@midge60) reported

    @virginmedia No. The last few days have been sporadic at best. Monday am again no service. 2 ppl trying to wfh

  • snaildude Snail Dude (@snaildude) reported

    @virginmedia Yes please, I've still failed to find out what this means anywhere in the app help. I've also asked in the community help forums but no answer yet.

  • DanielleNGregor Danielle.N.Gregory (@DanielleNGregor) reported

    @virginmedia puts up pricing but offers a service worse than ever . I upgraded a while back to ensure everyone in the house had internet on their device , yet every single day I have to restart the router to get us all on wifi for school / working from home #virginareuseless

  • Andy_Morley Andy Morley (@Andy_Morley) reported

    @virginmedia To be honest, your "outage" checker tool is pretty useless, it's never accurate
