    @virginmedia So I had loss of service but not complete even tho the service I had wasn't enough to even complete a 15 minute online training. Great. Even though you only have cold water, would you still get a bath? Nah don't think you would

    @virginmedia Yes got the update thanks but not helpful receiving a text to say issue resolved, service has been off for 14 hours now, any background to reason why? Its a massive area to be out with no explanation

  • LindzDDub
    Lindz Devine (@LindzDDub) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia I have to say your Internet connection is ridiculous... for months on end, it's been shocking. I'm sick and tired of resetting my hub, I shouldn't be having this issue. Never had so much issue for the years I've had you and now, the past 6 months, I'm paying monies…

  • EmmaZhaan64
    Emma (@EmmaZhaan64) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia All internet is down, wireless and wired; the hub light is white and it’s a Hub 3.0.

    lloyd #utft (@111O1O1O11O) reported from Wallasey, England

    No service in CH44 for 2 days last week, back on for 2, then off again today. No text updates but service status says a fix by 20.00. Won't happen though will it? @virginmedia

  • SmithysMaud
    Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

  • BLTwitchy
    Berni Turner 🖤🌹 (@BLTwitchy) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia No I’m not an idiot it was during covid I’ll go back and find it . The chief execs office rang me personally as I’m disabled

  • davetarl
    Dave Tarleton 💙 (@davetarl) reported from Wallasey, England

    @virginmedia I want to cancel my contract as it is at the end. Twice now I have been kicked off the chat whilst waiting. This is unacceptable. I can't ring at present so the chat is ideal to run in the background. I just want to press a button that says end the contract!

  • laineypb2109
    Elaine Brown (@laineypb2109) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia 15% increase, don't think so mate. I'll be in touch via phone shortly with a cancellation notice. So much for long serving customer loyalty

  • DaveMbootlebuck
    DM 🦌 (@DaveMbootlebuck) reported from Litherland, England

    @virginmedia Mine has just gone down now. I can’t ring via the virgin phone because the phone is connected to the hub.

  • Robertlfc_
    Rob (@Robertlfc_) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia is honestly the worst company for WiFi

    @tonymc39 @virginmedia Really, truly shockingly terrible.

  • RebekahP1nk

    @virginmedia soooo what's wrong this time?? You are just about up the cost to astronomical amounts and now the broadband goes down again ..

  • LindzDDub
    Lindz Devine (@LindzDDub) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia I also play Destiny 2. I thought it may have been their servers but my boyfriend doesn't have the issue.

  • Gary_Kilroy
    Gary Kilroy (@Gary_Kilroy) reported from Liverpool, England

    Having the choice of the awful customer service of @virginmedia or the @bt_uk network which in my area might as well be two tin cans tied together with string is great!

  • pstock62
    Paul Stockton (@pstock62) reported from Horwich, England

    @virginmedia Internet down in BL6 5RN, any idea's

  • lurkinhead
    Martin Travis (@lurkinhead) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @BlaggerBly @virginmedia Seems to be Wirral wide at least, and I think Liverpool is affected too. VM should be massively compensating their affected customers for this, but they hide behind their terms and conditions where they only deem it reasonable to compensate if the outage last more than 3 days!

  • alandean1878
    Alan Dean (@alandean1878) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia The nightmare continues!!! Buffering is now a way of life for us. As is watching any programme on a streaming service in short two minute bites!

    @virginmedia GO **** yourselves Virgin Media. Roll on July 27th 2026 when I will be free from you ******* unsympathetic CNUTS. I never thought in a million years that I would go back to SKY or a firestick but you have made that decision so much easier. Good ******* riddance.

  • DjmarkieT

  • cripps_alan
    Alan Cripps (@cripps_alan) reported

    @virginmedia do you ever listen to to your own customer service recorded messages ? They are awful ! Totally unclear what we are expected to do to restart service ! . And why does your customer service team not start until 8am when they are based in India ? Makes no sense

  • OwlyMcHoot
    Owly McHoot (@OwlyMcHoot) reported

    @mobily_uk @virginmedia Way back 30 years ago I worked for cable and wireless up at Seacroft; the retentions team called themselves The Dream Team; they got a bonus for each customer who threatened to cancel they converted to a retention-when you call, drive that deal down as they have a lot of scope.

    @ifeeltheneed_ Mine has been offline for the last two months, had an upgrade of virgin media that came with a new WiFi connection. That coincided with my surgery, managed to have the new hub up & running with some help but haven’t been able to access the solar inverter to reset so far.

  • KaitanKohli
    kaitan kohli (@KaitanKohli) reported

    @virginmedia VM! I need your help. Since the supposed digital switch over, my vulnerable, elderly parents landline hasn't worked. Over the last 2 days I've spent 3 hours on the phone to be told by your CS that the line is fine. I need a solution!

  • drewsy92
    Drew Grant (@drewsy92) reported

    Every single month I have trouble accessing the my o2 app, since it’s became virgin media! Absolute joke can never pay my bill in time because of it, doesn’t let me sign in even though the details are correct!! Shouldn’t have to phone up every month to sort it! @O2 @virginmedia

    Margot (@Baggladee) reported

    @virginmedia @mobily_uk Agree, it’s so stupid, wasting everyone’s time!

    @virginmedia And once again it goes down just I’m about to watch the boxing. Sort it or I’m putting in a formal complaint.
