  • courtsthomasx 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐀𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐚 (@courtsthomasx) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia My Broadband has been down for quite a few days now. I have no received any text updates and would like to speak to somebody with regards to down time and to get an ETA of when it should be back up and running.

  • matt_stanny Matthew Stansfield (@matt_stanny) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia @virginhelp any chance you can sort the internet issues in BB11, it’s a nightmare at the moment!

  • NickyRobbo80 Nicky (@NickyRobbo80) reported from Blackburn, England

    If 2020 was an Internet provider it would be @virginmedia Solve the problem of losing IP address by restarting router. It was restarting the router that caused it. Restarted anyway and now the router won't connect to the Internet and all devices say no IP address #stressed

  • Dazmac1882 Daz Mckavett (@Dazmac1882) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia Came back on early hours this morning but it's been awful for a while, same as the rest of my family I'll be leaving without a cancellation fee tomorrow

  • scottboyle6 scott boyle (@scottboyle6) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia the worse customer services ever! Passed to 4 different departments for 15 mins only to be cut off.

  • mooseandme1 Moose And Me (@mooseandme1) reported from Great Harwood, England

    Cracks me up that the main feature of BT’s internet provision currently being advertised is that it breaks! And you can book a slot to fix it Why not invest your advertising budget in stopping it from breaking? Not to be smug but (touch wood) @virginmedia has never conked out!

  • Shigufta1 Shigufta khan (@Shigufta1) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia Problems with my TV very frustrating not being able to speak to anyone. For a communication provider the service being offered is not acceptable

  • nevynxxx nevynxxx (@nevynxxx) reported from Rawtenstall, England

    @virginmedia I understand your call centres are suffering, but 2 hours for text chat support and a phone line that 4 menu levels deep hangs up is not good enough. Massively annoyed and time wasted.

  • SmartCoffeeOff1 Dave R (@SmartCoffeeOff1) reported from Blackburn, England

    What do a pay for, I'm trying to watch football on now TV and losing Internet all the time, pay for a top package and **** service, @Virgin #internet #virginmedia #broadband

  • subz_1 𝑺𝒖𝒃𝒉𝒂𝒏 🇵🇸 ⏱ (@subz_1) reported from Accrington, England

    At this point I don’t know whether my snapchat is down or my WiFi is aids #virginmedia

  • gsouthy gsouthy_25 🏆 LIVERPOOL FC 👊🏼 (@gsouthy) reported from Great Harwood, England

    @virginmedia How are things?? Footpath left full of mud. Having to clean footwear off or remove before coming into the house! The whole length of the footpath in front of the houses where your workers have been is a disgrace. Not even rain has washed it clean!! Terrible standard of work! 😤

  • xNasminx Nasmin Shabir ♡ (@xNasminx) reported from Keighley, England

    @virginmedia Yes I always use the service status tool... But still signal is constantly dropping, which results in resetting the router . Not happy to say we pay £45 a month for just broadband alone and can hardly get online most of the time... It's frustrating

  • Logical1966 Aaron (@Logical1966) reported from Keighley, England

    @virginmedia what the hell is the point of not having a team available for broadband faults but you can send a link to log on to your website- I can’t access your website because I my bloody broadband isn’t working are you stupid or something 🤬🤬🤬

  • Dazmac1882 Daz Mckavett (@Dazmac1882) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia because you are providing a service that doesn't work, i presume i can leave without a fee

  • HolGaffneyx Hol (@HolGaffneyx) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia Still nothing, we were told 24 hours and they would call but still no call, wondering if you can tell me how long this will take? Cause I'll cancel and go elsewhere

  • cheftonymulgrew Tony Mulgrew (@cheftonymulgrew) reported from Ripponden, England

    @SheilaDillon @virginmedia Vodafone not much better waited 6 weeks to have my issue sorted. Only interested in profit not the customers

  • Logical1966 Aaron (@Logical1966) reported from Keighley, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia sorry this was for your service provider @YodelOnline not you

  • Dazmac1882 Daz Mckavett (@Dazmac1882) reported from Burnley, England

    You've out done yourselves today @virginmedia It's usually poor but your broadband today has been on a completely different level of poor

  • matt_stanny Matthew Stansfield (@matt_stanny) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia It says not on there but when I call the support number there is a recorded message saying there is an issue and engineers are working on it.....been same all week.

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • xLepebble Lep (@xLepebble) reported

    @virginmedia Checked the service status yesterday and its still the same, its something wrong with the hub itself, its currently working perfectly fine but i can guarantee it will cut out soon for no reason, i think its broken itself. Its having some sort of wifi box electric mental breakdown

  • mightymarkuk Mark Bell (@mightymarkuk) reported

    @virginmedia What part of they haven't helped and will not help don't you understand?

  • DavidMrplumber David (@DavidMrplumber) reported

    @virginmedia Unfortunately but predictably no….unsurprising from VM. I’m now on a WhatsApp chat, been all morning trying to resolve this issue yet no nearer to doing so!

  • xLepebble Lep (@xLepebble) reported

    @virginmedia Went down again at 4am so I went to bed and its still not fixed itself since then. Just gonna have to pin reset it and hope it works till the engineer arrives between 12 and 2, which massively collides with my plans but it was either today or wait till Monday which is stupid 😒

  • mightymarkuk Mark Bell (@mightymarkuk) reported

    @virginmedia I've called 150 many times they still don't solve my problem. I'm not "privileged" yet I have a genuine problem & you have better equipment that could solve it. The forums aren't going to help me. I'm not investing in mesh wifi either when your equipment should be adequate.1/2

  • Fringillacious Andrew Brixey-Williams (@Fringillacious) reported

    @virginmedia please confirm any outage in the Southend on Sea area.

  • DavidMrplumber David (@DavidMrplumber) reported

    @virginmedia So I’ve just rang that number and the automated message says there’s still an issue yet you tell me everything is back on. Can you understand now how frustrating VM are?

  • mejulie64 Julie Bailey (@mejulie64) reported

    @virginmedia I said I had rebooted, reset etc the green flashing power light means there is a problem outside!

  • donnykebab1972 Kieron Griffin (@donnykebab1972) reported

    @virginmedia internet/WiFi down again

  • Rache1Cxx Rachel (@Rache1Cxx) reported

    @virginmedia Not great-your website says service should be back to normal but we have no internet or TV yet-bottom light on hub is just flashing green even after restarting
