    . @virginmedia internet down again! Service status says up but I’ve checked with friends who live nearby and down for them too! BH7 area. We did have good internet for 2 days. What is going on? We were half way through a rented film!

    @virginmedia why is the WiFi down in Bournemouth?

  • YoungJambo
    Jamie Will (@YoungJambo) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @virginmedia You also "aim" to provide internet that actually works and customer service that doesn't lie to the customer just to get them off the phone, how's that working out? #VirginMedia #DoBetter

    @deborabora @virginmedia I am so glad I left them in 2017 having suffered poor internet for over 2 years. Constant issues when I was in BH6.

  • YoungJambo
    Jamie Will (@YoungJambo) reported from Poole, England

    @virginmedia I was contacting you about the terrible service. I didn't have internet for a week and had to use up all of my data hotspotting as I work from home. Your disconnection team member "Helen" was rude and argumentative and kept shouting over the top of me. Go and listen to the call.

    Mark Bates (@officer_cartman) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @virginmedia Basically cut a long story I did agree a deal however it appears despite me asking for confirmation and then saying yes they put through the wrong one ,I chatted again this morning and basically told no you can’t ,it was literally like the new customer deal with a minor variation

    Jeremy Clarke (@BelvoirCchurch) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @virginmedia ,is it worth trying to call customer service today, will anyone answer the call or is it more hours on hold before being cut off?

    Phil (@PhilPay1) reported from Poole, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I cancelled my contract and it finished on 27 July. Just received an email saying my next (massively increased) payment is due on 11 August. Can’t login on the app or online to sort it. Can you help?

  • wordsbypage
    Emma Page (@wordsbypage) reported from Bournemouth, England

    The Internet dropping out or down to next to nothing every 10 minutes since midday wouldn’t be an issue if I didn’t have a deadline. @virginmedia remind me why I am paying for the top package.

  • CarlJTaylor23
    Carl Taylor (@CarlJTaylor23) reported from St. Leonards and St. Ives, England

    @virginmedia - 3 times I got cut off on the phone trying to tell you I need to cancel, now been moving to 3 different ‘live chat’ people and still not sorted. Even if you do cover my new house in the future I will not come back.

    @virginmedia Says no known faults but on down detector there’s lots of reports. I don’t think the internet has ever gone down until y’all came to improve the service last week eek

  • gxyred
    Jared (@gxyred) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @virginmedia Sent one. Managed to fix it late at night but no help on your website for the streaming box so seems you don't act on your feedback and the remote app failed to work.

  • johnmalcolm1970
    John Malcolm (@johnmalcolm1970) reported

    @virginmedia WTF is up with your service lately in PA1? I've logged 309 disconnections in the past week (101 of those in the past day - 439 in month). All I get from your service status page is "Intermittent signal in your area". Is it the weather? Do I need a new hub?

  • ASoria34455
    Alicia Folge (@ASoria34455) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia how can you leave customers without access to internet for days in 2026? I just came back from South America & when we had a problem it was fixed within the hour, you really can’t do better?

  • Bargainhunter85
    Simon Fitzgerald 🇺🇦 (@Bargainhunter85) reported

    @virginmedia We sent back our equipment weeks ago and now we have a message saying we’re being charged £90 can you help?

    @shashpatel23 @virginmedia @HopeForTo Honestly, it’s a joke! Saying 8:07pm fix time here in Birmingham! If I hadn’t been forced to upgrade my V6 box to 360 software I’d still be able to access the tv channels!! But because 360 relies on wifi connection I can’t get any tv!! 🤯🤯😡😡

  • Lavelle250187
    Steven Byrne (@Lavelle250187) reported

    @virginmedia Your service is disgraceful. I joined less than a month ago and my internet has already failed twice. 1st time it was down for 3 days, now it’s been 2 days and could be a week. I want to leave your awful service, but you won’t let me. This is not what was promised!

  • helsblack

    @virginmedia It's back on been an outage this morning

  • BillKilvington
    Bill Kilvington 💙 FCODP, FRCA (@BillKilvington) reported

    @virginmedia This isn't working is it. Asking if I'm available 'now' to answer security questions, when I respond yes you didn't get back to me for 3 hours. When, oddly I was no longer available. Very poor.

  • brummiedebz
    Debzy G 🦅🐦‍⬛🦉 (@brummiedebz) reported

    @virginmedia @HopeForTo There are people from various areas of the UK telling you that they have a WiFi outage at the same time Service checker confirms it for those who’ve told you. Which means it’s not an equipment issue. It’s a Virgin Media national issue and yet no announcement on here

    @virginmedia Why can I not talk or communicate with Virgin Only reply I get after telling you I am Not a customer and do NOT want to join is “Just to check, are you an existing customer, are you looking to join Virgin Media, or have you recently made an order?” I have said no
