  @virginmedia I have a security issue with my router, I cannot login in or change password as somebody else is logged in. I have tried repeatedly over the last few days to contact you. We have 2 vulnerable adults in the house and need to sort this ASAP!

  @virginmedia No broadband service in RG14 and your service status checker isn't working. Is there a know issue? #virginmedia

  @virginmedia Hi yes I’ve done this numerous times and spoken to many people on chat and always been told I will get a call to discuss and I never hear back. I just want someone to look into why we cannot get it but it’s available on our road. Thanks

  The HWC (@Hello_HWC) reported 20 minutes ago from Basingstoke, England

  @virginmedia Slow speed Constantly dropping service Not able to connect devices, TV and computers To be fair your engineer was the best bit! The rest was an absolute shambles. It’s all in a complaint I have through on your website to the resolution team...

  @virginmedia Would you please give me a phone number so that I can talk to a human being about a technical problem rather than wasting my life listening to a automated telephone

• 
  Jon Bond (@JobbyOvy) reported 28 minutes ago from Basingstoke, England

  Phoned @virginmedia tonight to cancel, as my price was going to £74 from £55 a month. Best they could offer was £60 a month even though as a new customer it is currently £50 a month! I was told if they offered their current customers those prices, they’d go out of business...

  @virginmedia Suddenly came back online yesterday afternoon ...so suggests there was an issue elsewhere. Thanks for your replies

  @virginmedia If you forgot your pin your bank would send a replacement through the post. Please arrange for a way to cancel this account that does not cause further distress.

  @tonight__we_fly @virginmedia Exactly this 👆🏻... at least long serving customers are apparently all treated equally... with poor service 😭

  Melissa Burns (@lissaburns) reported 39 minutes ago from Basingstoke, England

  @virginmedia can you help? We’ve been struggling with internet for last 3 weeks. Now dropping on daily basis and devices not connecting. Spent 1.5hrs talking on Thurs... was promised a call back yesterday but received nothing and still major issues. Can someone pls call?

  The Big Gay Review (@thebiggayreview) reported 40 minutes ago from Basingstoke, England

  WiFi went down in the middle of watching Halloween Ends. 4G signal also unresponsive. Stuck on very slow 4G. Virgin Media say it’s possibly a hardware fault and want to send someone Monday. No. I’m not waiting 72 hours with no internet. I’ll implode.

• 
  John Richards (@Johnty14) reported 44 minutes ago from Basingstoke, England

  @virginmedia next to useless support over the last 2 days trying to explain to your technical department what packet loss is! In the 40 mins it takes, the packet loss and speed has gone back to normal.

• 
  Joanne Wells (@MatildaDr) reported 45 minutes ago from Basingstoke, England

  @virginmedia you used to be great, but now not so great. I lose my internet connection far more frequently now. There’s an error when I try and change my package online. I’ve phoned customer service now I have to call tomorrow as your systems are down for changing packages

• 
  Annabel Z (@annabelouisa) reported 51 minutes ago from Basingstoke, England

  @virginmedia we are without internet now for over a day. No text updates despite registering what can be done about such poor service

• 
  Tony Phillips (@Loafite) reported 60 minutes ago from Basingstoke, England

  @SkyHelpTeam hope all is well, @virginmedia have just increased my bill again for broadband (£32 increase per month in the last 10 months, disgraceful) are there any deals for a Sky customer for broadband?

  @YouMadBruv3r @virginmedia Check on their service checker page.... Mine says will be sorted at 1008 hours on 28th August... Very specific... I bet yours will be the same.... @virginmedia lying to everyone, refunding no one....

  Andy Anderson 🇬🇧 Defund the BBC! ♋️ (@shelf_life64) reported 2 minutes ago

  @virginmedia @TheAFC0522 Two weeks to fix this is wholly unacceptable…. I’m starting to suspect you’re having another spat with Sky or your engineers are all on holiday!! As you are well aware casting is not available from the Sky Sports app… A bill credit to all affected would be welcome for this!

  Frazzz (@FrazzzYT) reported 7 minutes ago

  Houses before, after and across the street from us have access to @WeAreOpenreach full fibre and all the companies but our block doesn't....like come on! Am kinda sick of how often @virginmedia dies out. On off yet again. Yet again complaint submitted

  Luke O' Connor (@LOCthedreamer2) reported 7 minutes ago

  It's a scandal that these media companies spend your money in order to try and influence how you think. Virgin Media received 3 million euro worth of state grants from Coimisiún na Meain last year. They would never think of doing a documentary on how immigration has negatively impacted the economy or society, which is why it is so galling to see them propagandise the immigration scam in Ireland. #HowIrelandWorks

  @virginmedia @alexand979677 If I wanted to watch it on my phone / laptop / pc etc I would use an Internet based hooky site not something I pay 100 quid a month for. Get it fixed and issue rebates.

  Gary Adams (@GazzaAdams) reported 8 minutes ago

  Hi @virginmedia This latest update appears to directly contradict the update you sent me earlier today. At 12:57, I was told that an engineer **was already on site and working to fix the problem**, with an estimated repair time of **18:00 today, 19/08/2026**. At 15:24, I am now being told that you have identified the problem and that an engineer **is on their way**, with the estimated repair time moved to **14:10 on 21/08/2026**. This is the original date that was stated 2 weeks ago. Could you please provide an accurate explanation of what is actually happening with fault **F012421201**? In particular: * Was an engineer on site earlier today, as stated? * If so, why is an engineer now apparently only “on their way”? * What has happened to cause the estimated repair time to move from this evening to Friday afternoon? * Is 21/08/2026 at 14:10 now a reliable estimate, or is this simply an automated placeholder? I appreciate that faults can take longer than expected to repair. What is frustrating is receiving contradictory information that makes it impossible to understand the actual status of the fault. Please provide a clear and factual update rather than another automated status message.

  @virginmedia @Vonk9 Presume we will all be getting a refund for this lack of service on sky sports + not working? Been down a while and current estimated repair is the 28th August!

  @virginmedia Internet down yet again, sick of this crap. Time to cancel.

  @virginmedia well done - you fix the issue then it’s broken again so back to no services again and of course your lines are closed so no way of calling
