@virginmedia Internet down again in NN5. There is no issue with the equipment or set up. What is the issue locally? Goes down about 8-10 times for 30 mins or so every day. Please can you respond ASAP.

@virginmedia can you please confirm that you ask for debit card details to look in to account problems/problems with broadband?

@ruskin147 @PippaCrerar @virginmedia Virgin Media outage sounds like an issue with the broadband connection between Virgin and your home. The WiFi coverage within your home should be a quite separate issue? My Plusnet router didn’t give great WiFi coverage so I added TP-Link Deco mesh WiFi and have no issues now.

@virginmedia Rather than an apology, how about a warning text or email stating when my broadband will be down or interrupted? So I can plan ahead, not waste mine and others time and money, and feel like I’m a customer and not a complete idiot for paying for this? I’m finally back online.

@virginmedia My broadband fluctuates, but even when I’m getting above 200mbps WiFi , my Ethernet to the back of the house is 5-10mbps. I’ve done all your tests, but read lots of comments that this is due to the virgin hub. Can you find a solution so I can work from home please!

@virginmedia Only had to wait 2 hours to finally get through to someone who was able to deal with my issue. Stuart Toms, one of your managers was very helpful & got the various issues resolved...

@virginmedia I have been having broadband issues for over a month. I have been on hold to the call centre for over 45 minutes now trying to get help. Is that normal waiting time?

@virginmedia I keep losing our broadband signal, especially in the evenings 😔have tried resetting etc, but no good. Even have your boosters, but still no good. Help, please!

@virginmedia On your website the only way to verify if those details are correct is by “contacting our Customer Care team”, which is hours of waiting and often only to get cut off before I talk to someone. You guys are literally unbelievable.

Yay! @vmbusiness has **** the bed once again, third time in a week. Going to have to put a smart switch on it so I can remote reset the router.

@virginmedia chat service is down, no one to answer technical calls, a website that sends you round and round in circles! Is it at all possible that someone is still working who can solve my broadband issues before I cancel my direct debit?

So unbelievably fed up of @virginmedia broadband that constantly drops out. I pay almost £100 a month for packages that are just useless if the connection goes down. Can't work from home or teach remotely under these conditions.

@virginmedia it seems that your cancellation dept call centre is closed due to the virus, I’ve tried to cancel my account & tried to message you online but neither appear to be possible, I’m just going round in circles. I haven’t renewed my contract or take you with me. Help

@virginmedia One of my boxes is stuck at 16% for loading the channels and hasn’t worked since the massive virgin outage and my router is hit and miss all the time.

@virginmedia @hcarter_history I have booked a technician for Friday. I can’t imagine broadband will be down anywhere near that long but reaching out to report individual faults helps area faults get flagged so I suggest everyone tries. 0845 454 1111.

@virginmedia Also I was in the office yesterday on a wired connection which was fine, so I know it's just at home I have the issue

@ednewmy @virginmedia They’re awful we were on the phone for 5 hours trying to leave them. They finally gave up and we paid the last bill and cancelled services. Next thing we get a letter in the post for £48 and that our next bill is due even though we’re with someone else. They can *******!

@virginmedia No broadband here in LS18. Restarted router with no luck, service status website says no problems but can't do router checks.

@virginmedia But it’s unfair that you never give any free gifts for loyal customers. If I was to leave and rejoin then I’d get the free gift? How does that work?

@virginmedia So if you're looking to do more for me as a customer how about offering me the same price going forward rather than doubling my bill during a cost of living crisis.
