    Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia 2/ Despite that issue being due to a junction connection in the cabinet in the street, the op seems to refuse to look at that and just wants to reboot my router. Also claims it is due to my use of Modem Mode. Is there anyone in the UK I can contact regarding this?

    @virginmedia any chance of an update regarding the outage in my local area regarding internet connection? It’s been down 2 days straight!

    @Niknaklady1 @virginmedia Oh dear. That's what made me think the problem may not be virgin, if you've got signal on another set. Hope you get it sorted 👍

    Alex (@laticwolf) reported from Bradmore, England

    @virginmedia good work 👏🏼 issues with WiFi being down constantly as soon as £7.50 monthly bill increases comes in! Currently on hour 5 of no internet and not due to be fixed before 1am 🙃

    @virginmedia Typical Virgin Media response. Passing me on. Not actually solving the problem. I will never come back to @virginmedia and will advise all my friends never to think of using you.

    @virginmedia Rebooted several times. Wi-Fi works fine, it’s just the VPN. Automated message says there’s still an issue.

    @Cplcash @virginmedia Problem is other providers are so slow at installing fibre cables that most have no choice but to go with VM

    @virginmedia This new 360 box update forcing the home screen on startup is terrible. Give us an option to boot straight to live TV!

  • bart_hajduk
    Bartłomiej Hajduk (@bart_hajduk) reported

    @virginmedia I've written to the local council, hopefully they will enforce the repairs or issue a fine.

  • GGWilliams72
    GW (@GGWilliams72) reported

    @virginmedia @mthewett I had Stream Box and Broadband set up yesterday. Neither working today, tried Cust Serv’s on hold over 45 mins and still no answer! These people are as garbage as their services, spend your money elsewhere. I’m going back to @SkyUK 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS COMPANY, WORST COMPANY EVER. WILL CHANGE THINGS ON UR ACCOUNT WITHOUT CONSENT AND THEN ADD LATE FEES @virginmedia

    @virginmedia how has the wifi gone down AGAIN two nights in a row 😴

  • _SonOfTheDesert
    Kaiser Soothsays (@_SonOfTheDesert) reported

    @virginmedia No. Because it’ll end up as a hard reset and we’ll lose all our recorded stuff. When are you going to bring out a box that saves content to the cloud? That way, there’d be no issue.

    @RyanAlbert2026 @rte Prisons overloaded with foreigners but not on this scumbag channels programme **** @virginmedia

  • sarah1986
    Sarah Poyntz (@sarah1986) reported

    @ryantegan @skytv We’ve just gone the other way, @virginmedia was not interested in keeping a customer of 10 years+, cost was literally going to double! We’ve switched to Sky but are ready to play flip flop between the 2 for the foreseeable as we know neither of them has any interest in loyalty!

  • UnkUser99
    The other M&M (@UnkUser99) reported

    @paullewismoney You've clearly never tried to cancel Sky or Virgin Media
