  • 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 !

  • 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

  • westy_1966 JOHN WEST ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (@westy_1966) reported from Camberley, England

  • philip_e_davies Philip E Davies (@philip_e_davies) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Came back on Sunday morning, obvs pleased it was fixed but a 14 hour outage this weekend following a 46 hour outage last weekend, service used to be so good but seems to be very unreliable at the moment

  • 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 😡

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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!

  • 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

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • mcmagrs Mark Magrs (@mcmagrs) reported

    @virginmedia Your SMS number just tells me to use 'whatsapp' (something I don't use) just like the 'chat' service on your website. There doesn't seem to be any effective way to get through to Virgin Media Customer Service and that's why I decided to go with Now TV instead.

  • yevgordon Yvonne Gordon (@yevgordon) reported

    When you call @virginmedia to see if they can price match @Vodaphone4 and lower your bill - and the customer services rep says computer says your bill needs to go up. That. How is your Saturday?

  • gethinj1995 Gethin Jones (@gethinj1995) reported

    @virginmedia you're service is a joke. Paid for delivery and set up today almost a week ago. No further contact, can't see that the payments been taken. Been without connection for a week and you're website makes it impossible to contact anyone. Absolute pisstake.

  • CarverPete Peteography (@CarverPete) reported

    @virginmedia Yep a new move and new customer.

  • Ladyarya Sharon Peters (@Ladyarya) reported

    @O2 @O2 @virginmedia I have dm'd yesterday like you requested, but not received a response. I'm now literally begging for some customer service 😥

  • TerryOConnorr Terry O'Connor 🥊 (@TerryOConnorr) reported

    @thetimes Taking up "painting" because his records bomb now. These paintings are something I doodle on a pad whilst I'm telling @virginmedia to fix my ******* internet.

  • bobbt2417 Bob Beattie (@bobbt2417) reported

    @vmo2business Will either drag Virgin Media up or O2 down!

  • samishaque Sameena Ishaque (@samishaque) reported

    @virginmedia need to cancel an engineers visit. It's not coming on on my appts online. I've tried to call but spent 45 mintues fruitlessly wating for someone to answer

  • Jonathan_Croft1 Jonathan (@Jonathan_Croft1) reported

    @virginmedia We are currently chatting to someone on your WhatsApp helpline who (whilst contradicting much of what the previous person said) might actually be able to help us.

  • therooney2 Johnny (@therooney2) reported

    @virginmedia why do you make life difficult when a customer wants to terminate using your services ? You have ignored me or put me on hold for 6hours in the past 2 days.Perhaps anyone leaving we should all cancel our direct debits which I'm about to do after 16yrs thanks for nowt
