AJ Merron (@AJMerron_writes) reported from Borough of Torbay, England@virginmedia Apparently there’s some form of outage on the network as a whole. I can’t get any clear answers from the @TravelodgeUK Wi-Fi help line. The network just seems to be refusing to connect logged in devices. I’m here for one night and requested money back for Wi-Fi to no avail.

Samina Masood (@Samina_masood3) reported@VirginMedia We’ve had complete loss of internet since 2/5/26 due to broken cable, yet no proper fix or technician visit despite repeated promises. Instead, you sent someone to “clean router” & logged it as speed issue not total outage. This is unacceptable. Plz resolve urgently.
-
Un (@unknown74user) reported@virginmedia Do you have any English people working for you who can hold an actual conversation and help with my request? Or should I just cancel my direct debit and wait for you to try contact me instead? Everything about your system sucks
-
william swain (@swainw36) reportedhi, @virginmedia Virgin Media O2 — urgent help needed. Our ntlworld family email setup (parent account + sub-mailboxes) has broken after migration. One account now controls all logins (a sub) and the others are locked out. This is an account linking/migration error. Plz escalate?

Niddi Dhillon (@niddi1989) reported@virginmedia any chance of speaking with a actual human? Been on the chat service which has kicked me out 4 times and hold for nearly 3hrs now to. Be nice if someone actually answered me
-
It's mom not mum (@rchcool) reported@virginmedia @sabrevan Yes can you please explain the issue? Repeated occurrences means we can’t rely on the service until you confess the problem and whether it has actually been solved or if you’re just applying temporary fixes to avoid paying compensation to customers
-
Isla (@saoirseisla) reported@virginmedia I’ve been without wifi for 10 days. All I am being told is that they don’t know when it’ll be fixed. I work from home and have been unable to get anything done because I need wifi. I’m a week behind. I need it fixing asap. The problem isn’t my end it’s yours.
