  • wmatthew Will Matthews (@wmatthew) reported from Fleet, England

    @virginmedia is there a bandwidth issue in the network? I’m in Fleet, Hampshire #patchy #slow

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

    @GuseensLV @virginmedia Ah man, I’m with ya. 350MB here was fab until 16 days ago. Been “OK” today, had a relatively stable connection but it never crept over 10MB and that was if I was lucky *sigh*

  • gareth5274 gareth moore (@gareth5274) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia any chance of any help, been phoning since Friday and still getting nowhere. Ta.

  • ambreenfarooq15 A (@ambreenfarooq15) reported from Reading, England

    Virgin media is sooooooo ******* ****

  • BagshotTwit Paul Austin (@BagshotTwit) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia I upgraded to the Ultimate Oomph package in Jan but still waiting for the order to be completed. I’ve contacted customer services on numerous times but no success, I’ve also raised a complaint. How do I actually get some help to complete the order?

  • vikingmarta89 Marta (@vikingmarta89) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia why since Monday is so bad signal in Reading West ? I’m not able to work !

  • BobBeveridge1 Bob Beveridge (@BobBeveridge1) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia When your expensive fibre broadband crashes in the middle of an online meeting with an MP this is bloody frustrating and unacceptable. Your service is often unreliable in the middle of the day. Can it be fixed or do I need another provider as backup?

  • paulineayres PaulineAyres-S/W (@paulineayres) reported from Blackwater, England

    Omg @virginmedia the worse service you could possible get 😡

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

    @sniveldirk @virginmedia Also it’s not reliable broadband. I’m suffering day 15 of anything but the 350MB connection I paid for. Right now it’s dead again. The lack of service forced me to have to work from an office today (again!) How unsafe is that?

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

    @virginmedia Hi AR, I was given no time at all, only that there were ongoing issues the last two weeks then he said 7-10 days. He said you were working on it, it would be fixed but no timescale. 15 days of unreliable BB is awful. Have had 100% outages of up to 36 hours.

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

    @Binky_2301 @virginmedia The service was pretty reliable until now 19 days ago. Their status tool says no issues yet an engineer told me there were. And that they were fixing it. Been watching Twitter and it’s been an issue with folks all over the country.

  • TheonlyJonesy Martyn Jones (@TheonlyJonesy) reported from Fleet, England

    @virginmedia don’t worry about supplying a service that I can use to work from home, I’d much rather leave the house in a pandemic to access stable broadband...!!!

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

    Dear diary, day 16 of poor/zero broadband. I called @VirginMedia, joined a queue, cooked, served & ate dinner, started watching The Simpsons then after 48 minutes of Jake Bugg and some other repetitive on-hold phone entertainment, they cut me off!

  • KathyMck1962 Kathy mckenry (@KathyMck1962) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia can you advise how much longer our internet will be down in the Tilehurst Reading area had no internet since 8pm yesterday? ?

  • EmsAlice Ems ☾ (@EmsAlice) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia We managed to get through to your team on the phone yesterday and they said they will call us back. It started working again yesterday evening but it’s an on and off problem we have had for weeks so needs looking into properly which I hope will happen soon.

  • paulineayres PaulineAyres-S/W (@paulineayres) reported from Blackwater, England

    @virginmedia I have to wait until Monday for an engineer to come and fix whatever the problem is but never ever had a good connection and made many complains

  • jgoodliffe_ James Goodliffe (@jgoodliffe_) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia whys my internet so terrible in SL6? I pay for 350 and I’m getting 8..

  • DawnFabbricatti Dawn Fabbricatti🇿🇦🇮🇹 (@DawnFabbricatti) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia You LITERALLY cannot be serious right now? Is this how you believe my issue will be solved? And yes, in the last 19 days I have rebooted twice.

  • EmsAlice Ems ☾ (@EmsAlice) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia It’s now been more than 48 hours and once again our catch up services and virgin media store is down and unavailable ... this time with no known local issue. What am I meant to do?

  • paulineayres PaulineAyres-S/W (@paulineayres) reported from Blackwater, England

    @virginmedia Have to wait until Monday until an engineer can come out to fix whatever the problem is, I have never ever had a good connection, made many complaints but this is the worse ever. Intermittence connections causing me to need another @SlimmingWorld consultant to cover my groups 💔

  • SarahFaherty7 Sarah Faherty (@SarahFaherty7) reported

    @virginmedia Over the 18 month deal you want me to pay £720 more that a new customer #seriousdifference

  • SarahFaherty7 Sarah Faherty (@SarahFaherty7) reported

    @virginmedia They offered 50% higher than new customer deal pretty big difference I’ve been with you guys for over 15 years but I guess that means nothing #byebyevirgin

  • RyusGhost Ryu (@RyusGhost) reported

    @AzTheBaz @virginmedia @NetflixUK With the ridiculous statement that there's nothing we can do to keep your subscription down.

  • vickster3105 Vicksx (@vickster3105) reported

    @virginmedia any chance of someone contacting me to discuss the falsely advertised media package I signed up for 4 months ago and have had nothing but problems with?!

  • SteadyDLive Steady (@SteadyDLive) reported

    @virginmedia Can I please alert you to an issue in the WF1 area. I'm slightly sick of this now as we've had intermittent issues for the last few months. We've had multiple new routers and even new routing e.c.t & there's been no change at all.

  • JoeSpencerBooks Joe Spencer (@JoeSpencerBooks) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia based on my experience over past weeks I think I have as much change of getting through to @richardbranson than an engineer to actually fix the problem

  • Matt2860 Matthew (@Matt2860) reported

    @wozaboxa @virginmedia @stumccullagh When I say out of breathe, I'm sure he's just done a lap of where he is. I'd be offended but that was just strange. He said he had taken too long for his lunch and had to run back to his workstation wtf

  • sandersmatthewg Matthew Sanders (@sandersmatthewg) reported

    Always shocking trying to get through on the phone to #virginmedia. Just awful. On hold for 75 minutes only to be hung up on once connected. 2nd time this week!!! My bill is far too high and half my time is spent trying to get help from 'customer services'. Silly me!

  • NealJFletcher Neal Fletcher (@NealJFletcher) reported

    @virginmedia getting pretty sever pixelation and picture disruption on channel 4 at the moment, this is an ongoing issue and after googling it seems many other users are/have been suffering from this for a while. Can this be resolved ASAP please?

  • bigladderdrone 𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝔹𝕚𝕘 𝕃𝕒𝕕𝕕𝕖𝕣 ℙ𝕙𝕠𝕥𝕠𝕘𝕣𝕒𝕡𝕙𝕖𝕣 (@bigladderdrone) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve just been to that link...it doesn’t work for me...any other advice before I leave your service?...appreciated you are trying to help but your infrastructure doesn’t allow it. It’s not acceptable to take my money with such poor support. Other options?
