  • owensirons93 Andrew Owen (@owensirons93) reported from Corringham, England

    @virginmedia any reason why you still haven’t fixed our phone lines? Been down for 3 months now so I’ll be expecting a reimbursement. Also expect a reimbursement due to the fact your failing to supply the minimum download speed

  • NicklessColin Colin Nickless (@NicklessColin) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia broadband down again in Southend. Had to pay for a BT WiFi day pass so my wife can continue working from home.

  • samanthadoe1 Samantha Doe (@samanthadoe1) reported from Canvey Island, England

    @virginmedia Yes and there are/were no known broadband issues showing in the area on the service page

  • MrsDyer25 Laura Dyer (@MrsDyer25) reported from Great Baddow, England

    @virginmedia So what can be done to improve the technical issues we are having? Could it be our equipment?

  • Paul07852224 Paul (@Paul07852224) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia Hi, yeah done that - no issues

  • samanthadoe1 Samantha Doe (@samanthadoe1) reported from Canvey Island, England

    Having real problems with our broadband dropping out regularly @virginmedia. Any known issues in the SS8 area?

  • MrsDyer25 Laura Dyer (@MrsDyer25) reported from Great Baddow, England

    @virginmedia I have checked and there are no faults. I am still having issues over a week later and this is totally unacceptable! Two children trying to take part of zoom lessons which they keep dipping in and out of as the connection just keeps dropping! Unable to get through to you on 150

  • joniread68 Jon Read (@joniread68) reported from Great Baddow, England

    @virginmedia no way of contacting you over cancelling my contract, lines are down. How do we speak to you?

  • joniread68 Jon Read (@joniread68) reported from Great Baddow, England

    Any @virginmedia customers out there who’ve been landed a price increase - just ring them on 03454541111 and the automated service immediately offers you a £4.50 pm discount for 6 months = £27 of savings. Bit of a weird way of doing business but obvs hope many just suck it up. 👍

  • Paul_Ilett Paul Ilett, Author (@Paul_Ilett) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @fingers_terry @virginmedia I hope so. I’d hate to have to cancel my subscription.

  • GMLmusic Gareth (@GMLmusic) reported

    Virgin Media TV is down, and the broadband's being a prick as well. Seems to be a national outage.

  • Andie1502 Andrea Partington (@Andie1502) reported

    @virginmedia Parts of the app (the bits which show faults in your area) are down, had no tv all day with only the basic channels working now (last hour) and they internet has been intermittent since Monday! WN5 area? Are we all getting refunds?

  • pll2603 p lenny (@pll2603) reported

    @virginmedia Please help , I can only get babestation and my wife isn’t too happy about it . It’s been 8 hours solid now , my arms are hurting and I’m running out of tissues

  • karen_renton Karen M Renton (@karen_renton) reported

    @virginmedia There are people in the North East of Enlgand and Scotland who have had no power or water for 6 days since Storm Arwen. If no TV signal is causing this much grief heaven help us when anything major happens.

  • avatonian14 robert pratchett 🎄🎅🎁☃️❄️ (@avatonian14) reported

    Having problems with my @virginmedia tv box. Anyone else having problems

  • Leemhammond Lee Hammond (@Leemhammond) reported

    @virginmedia Any idea when my TV service will resume??!!

  • 72barmad Barry Madden (@72barmad) reported

    @C1997Andrew My last stint with #virginmedia ended when we had no service all week and all they kept saying was an engineer was on his way. I asked to terminate, they promised an upgrade, I reluctantly agreed. I booked a day off work and the engineer didn’t show, VM blamed me.

  • Richi_L Richie Long (@Richi_L) reported

    @virginmedia I'm not being funny but 2 days without a service before you give a refund is disgusting. So I can go without a phone line for 48hrs. Which isn't acceptable as my mobile has no reception in my property so I am uncontactable what if my mum or dad has an emergency. Complete joke

  • kingkong1888 Johnny Bhoy. (@kingkong1888) reported

    @virginmedia Still down,that's over 7 hours now shocking tbh.
