    Thank you @virginmedia you are yet again delivering an unacceptable service! Broadband intermittent, cant work, nothing on a status update, yet an apology on front of the phone message. I've had better connectivity in a Sri Lankan jungle.

  • fabsalva Fabrizio Salvatore (@fabsalva) reported from Woodingdean, England

    @virginmedia is there a known issue in the BN2 6 area of Brighton with your broadband? Crashed at 14:30 and hub seems to be unable to rejoin the network...

  • pwvoiceovers Patrick Woodward (@pwvoiceovers) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia You asked me to contact you to fix an issue but there are no options to do so. Phone number, when I found it, just led to a bot. Poor service.

  • AnneWebb777 Anne Webb (@AnneWebb777) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia @briamjam Here to help??? Is this a joke?

  • GreyAmbition TheGreyAmbition (@GreyAmbition) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

  • dizzymabil ydnam (@dizzymabil) reported from Sompting, England

    @virginmedia Seems its all over the area. Dozens of posts on local SM pages, people without service since late last night. Can't wait to change providers, to a company that actually supply what I pay for

  • dizzymabil ydnam (@dizzymabil) reported from Sompting, England

    @virginmedia No They did line tests Said it was fine Told me was my phone After 3 different handsets all different makes/models I highly doubt it was that Last I heard an engineer was coming Never showed! Lost the will to argue anymore Will just change providers instead

  • dizzymabil ydnam (@dizzymabil) reported from Sompting, England

    @virginmedia It's OK. I'll leave it Last call cost me over £8 & I didn't even get to speak to anyone. Ridiculously poor support

  • AnneWebb777 Anne Webb (@AnneWebb777) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia @KikeKD 150 NOT WORKING FROM ANY PHONE

  • dizzymabil ydnam (@dizzymabil) reported from Sompting, England

    @virginmedia It started as the phone ringing, at all hours day & night, but no one on other end. Then people ringing me on my mobile as wasn't answering landline I was home Phone hadn't rung Trying to call out & unable Changed handset Same problem.

  • indiointernet Brian Roe (@indiointernet) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia getting somewhat irked at the constant failure in the delivery of your services. And please don't apologise, it won't fix the broadband issue. You are now costing me money. This is not ideal. It's time for me to find a company that can deliver reliable broadband.

  • scotthortop Scott Hortop (@scotthortop) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia I thought as much. I have never received such a call before - It is as if they were targeting telephone numbers affected by yesterdays outage.

  • scotthortop Scott Hortop (@scotthortop) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia All your cable services are down right now, but can you explain why I can't access the programs recorded on the hard drive my virgin box? That makes no sense...

  • scotthortop Scott Hortop (@scotthortop) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Yes, everything seems to be working now. However, I have just received a call from Virgin Media, or someone purporting to be you, telling me that I had poor broadband performance , and I needed to sit in front of my laptop to fix it. I soon hung up, getting the wrong vibes.

    Anyone else have daily broadband issues with @virginmedia at the minute?

  • daniel_dds__ DDS (@daniel_dds__) reported

    @virginmedia Hello I wish to cancel / terminate my contract with VM - I am abroad so cannot call you without incurring massive charges. Can you advise how I can cancel ?

  • Tom_Corbett_ Tom Corbett (@Tom_Corbett_) reported

    @virginmedia Yesterday it was saying error and today it’s saying fixed. I’ve never experienced as many dropouts from an internet provider. As soon as you step more than a metre away from the hub it doesn’t work. Sitting here praying somebody else will add a service to my new housing estate.

  • michaelmcnevin Michael McNevin (@michaelmcnevin) reported

    @virginmedia Are you having issues with your email system? Trying to use an ntlworld email account and getting errors that username and PW are incorrect. I see a few other tweets mentioning similar.

  • HoskinsJW Jacki Hoskins (@HoskinsJW) reported

    How can a media company simply shut down your email account & block your access. Does data protection work both ways here @virginmedia

  • hollyholster Holly Brown (@hollyholster) reported

    @virginmedia There is a difference between wanting and needing services connecting. People want the internet to stream a good movie on a Saturday night. Our family needs the internet so my husband can successfully work from home and support his child in treatment for cancer.

  • iggyconnell iggy connell (@iggyconnell) reported

    @virginmedia how do I register for loss of service ? when I ring 150 it says it knows there's a fault in my area, but not his to register

  • Alex05959243 Alex (@Alex05959243) reported

    @virginmedia Hello, I have tried this link a few times but get no information or feedback in response. I still can't get through to the virgin customer service line. I need Internet to work. This has been going on for 2 weeks now. Can someone contact me?

  • LouMurrell Louie Murrell🍁 (@LouMurrell) reported

    @virginmedia My wifi is so bad, imagine having the #1 pro clubs team in the UK and losing games purely to lag. Pay ridiculous amounts of £ to relax in my evenings and virgin causes me nothing but stress, to me and my associates.

  • LaurenSTompkins Lauren Tompkins (@LaurenSTompkins) reported from Bournemouth, England

    Hey @virginmedia all of last night and now this morning my home broadband is not working. I’ve reset the router several times not made any difference.
