  • Brad_Rudge Brad Rudge (@Brad_Rudge) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia can you sort out your so called TV service. Keep losing and regaining signal and its not just me either!

  • pwingers Paul Wingfield BSc CEng MIET (@pwingers) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia To be fair, the TV is better via Virgin and download speeds are good too (most of the time) but you fall down on broadband reliability, upload speeds and landlines costs.

  • PhilLearney Phil Learney (@PhilLearney) reported from Bromley, England

    Twice in a week business internet outage for half a day at a time with @virginmedia 🙄 Called them and ‘couldn’t give a s***’, was the general sentiment.

  • AdiStaempfli Adi Staempfli (@AdiStaempfli) reported from London, England

    After 10 years with @virginmedia , & after weeks of terrible WiFi & customer service, I asked they equal BT’s deal. Operator could not do that and would not let me talk to manager, nor send a message for call back. I asked x3. Operator terminated call. Poor service!

  • thomasdmatthews Thomas Matthews (@thomasdmatthews) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia no Internet in WC1X? Service has been so shite of late. What's the deal?

  • BaldockPatricia Patricia Baldock (@BaldockPatricia) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia is there any chance you can get an engineer to our block in se20 please lot's of us have issues at the moment and think it's due to workmen at the block as says no issues when you check virgin site but there are

  • eugene_hutton Eugene Hutton -Mills (@eugene_hutton) reported from Addington, England

    Virgin media has been down all day,yet they have not even sent any message to their numerous customers. TIME WILL DEFINITELY TELL

  • pwingers Paul Wingfield BSc CEng MIET (@pwingers) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia Yes I have but the download speed is fine. The problem is that you peg the upload speeds down to 10mbs. We used to get that over copper cables. It's time to step it up a notch.

  • Tonyippee Ynot? (@Tonyippee) reported from Croydon, England

    Once again @virginmedia has let me down! Sorry the stream ended so suddenly without any goodbyes 😭

  • sevki Sevki 💉 💉🎉 (@sevki) reported from City of London, England

    .@virginmedia “we’re really sorry you’ve been having issues since 21st but rest assured we will resolve this by 1st of Dec” On the same exact call that gave a 10 day resolution time @virginmedia: “looks like your contract has ended. Let’s talk through your upgrade options”

  • thomas_maurice spite driven development (@thomas_maurice) reported from Islington, England

    Hello @virginmedia you appear to have yet again issues around London N7. And yes I have tried to turn it off and on again

  • joozuk Julie Compton (@joozuk) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia absolutely sick of the lack of service over the weekend- trying to watch catch up and it constantly crashes, then doesn’t remember where I was actually up to. This isn’t good enough. What is going on? If it’s not sorted asap I’m off to @skytv

  • kentsoc david (@kentsoc) reported from Biggin Hill, England

    @virginmedia I keep getting this message when I try and sign into my Virgin Media Account…. “This service can only be accessed by the primary account holder”. I am the primary account holder.

  • pwingers Paul Wingfield BSc CEng MIET (@pwingers) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia 100mbs download is fine, but 10mbs upload is silly in this age. It's too slow for uploading to YouTube.

  • callum1444 Callum McGuire (@callum1444) reported from Eltham, England

    @virginmedia my internet has been down all day, se18 why do we have none and when will it be back up and running. I work from@home and can’t be with out internet.

  • AdiStaempfli Adi Staempfli (@AdiStaempfli) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Rather loose a long-standing customer then?

  • pwingers Paul Wingfield BSc CEng MIET (@pwingers) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    Can anyone tell me why @virginmedia upload speeds are so slow? Downloads are fine but 10Mbs is ridiculous cw my friend's @BT network.

  • JulieAdamFilms J Calvert & A Bates (@JulieAdamFilms) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia what’s going on? Broadband is still down for 2nd day (!!) but you’re website saying fault corrected in our area which is obvs not correct.

  • LonesomeJay Looney (@LonesomeJay) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia, when I call to terminate, and I'm informed that I could have been paying 26 quid a month less for the same package, the knowledge that my current rate is a con makes me less likely to stay

  • sevki Sevki 💉 💉🎉 (@sevki) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia I’m not hopeful. You have given a 10day lead time for a fix. It’s been 6 days and my connection is still unusable. I just had to switch to 5g again. I genuinely don’t get what could possibly cause a 10 day lead time. 10 days without internet when I still have to wfh

  • BooksBySueDay Handcrafted Books by Sue Day (@BooksBySueDay) reported

    @virginmedia my ntlworld email address is not working and I can’t seem to report it. This seems to be a problem for many people today - please help! Thank you.

  • JayML2020 Jay (@JayML2020) reported

    @virginmedia It is with yourselves - recently got a new SIM card as my new tariff is 5G ready (phone is not) and since then, been pretty poor.

  • Kim_Grange Kimberley Grange (@Kim_Grange) reported

    @virginmedia I understand *what* the bill is, I don't understand *WHY* you need me to pay in advance for a service that has been used for years. The cable outside doesn't work. Internet slow and intermittent. Multiple channels missing inc. ch4. We complained and complained. Nothing done.

  • toxelola Toxelola BOOwu 👻 🏳️‍🌈 (@toxelola) reported

    Turns out it's a really good thing I didn't stream today, as Virgin Media's down in my area.

  • PaulLomax Paul Lomax (@PaulLomax) reported

    @chrismsutcliffe @virginmedia If I can't get them to let me self-install, then I'm going to need a temp solution to be able to work next week (eg channel-bonded LTE 4G router...). At which point I'm free to wait for an engineer from an alternative provider! Which would be cheaper too. But I'd rather stay...

  • niventhanm moi (@niventhanm) reported

    @virginmedia why is my WiFi horrendously slow when using VPN but off the VPN it's fine. Please help!

  • SnookRhiannon rhiannon snook (@SnookRhiannon) reported

    @virginmedia That doesn’t real help does it. Your services aren’t available where I live and you want to charge me or to use them. I can’t use it if you can’t provide it

  • alexh882 Alex (@alexh882) reported

    @virginmedia Are you planning on informing people formally about the issue? Can I rollback my software to the previous version whilst the fix is being found? (Since this was an optional ‘upgrade’) Are you making future people aware before taking the decision to upgrade? What is the timeline?

  • aimeecooke7 Aimée Cooke (@aimeecooke7) reported

    @virginmedia I need some help accessing my email account, there seems to be an issue. Please can somebody help?

  • daviddaulby david daulby (@daviddaulby) reported

    @virginmedia How is a £35 activation fee justified when I am already a customer with virgin media and I would be the one installing the new super hub myself plus you litteraly do t have to do anything other than push a button when the button os installed
