  • 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.

  • lamsom Dave Gracey (@lamsom) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the phone, I can travel to different areas and get 4 bars on my phone and it works no problem, the problem is in the area I live.The reception always used to be fine but for quite some time now it’s been awful, I currently have one bar.

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

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

  • 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! 😤

  • ianlumsden Ian Lumsden (@ianlumsden) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia I have been trying to get through to customer service for the past two days, the call is usually immediately rejected or I am told the call waiting time is an hour. I have had enough and as soon as I get through I am cancelling my account. 😡

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • TanyaBurford1 Tanya Burford (@TanyaBurford1) reported

    @virginmedia We’ve had no tv or internet since Tuesday 15th feb when you did some works in BR1 area. Unable to work, kids access homework over half term and racking up mobile data bills as a result. Your engineer out Thursday couldn’t fix it and still no service. Unacceptable.

  • stevetoonarmyla toonarmy2020 (@stevetoonarmyla) reported

    @virginmedia still does not answer why so many people are having problems with broadband or tv services, prices go up every year but people are still having to put up with the same rubbish service. you just have to come on here to find quite a lot of people are having problems.

  • Jollie_Lakers JollieGiant (@Jollie_Lakers) reported

    @virginmedia Internet continuously drops. Had engineers out who replace wires etc etc and within a few months the same issue. I am talking it drops the internet on all devices every few minutes. Its useless and i’m at the stage id rather be with a reliable provider than with you ‘fast’ net

  • MrHiorns Andrew Hiorns (@MrHiorns) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, no, there are no faults. I stress that this is a very long standing issue with the speed and reliability of the service. It is not a recent issue or a 'one off', hence my comments regarding being completely let down by Virgin and feeling that virgin are in breach of contract

  • shauncoyle88 shaun coyle (@shauncoyle88) reported

    @virginmedia Customer service has been like this for about a month now. Thanks for the quick reply though. Yeah I set the pod up correctly. And I've tried it in several places. Been over 5 days, although it has improved the WiFi dropouts the signal is still really poor in the upstair rooms.

  • RossiTardelli RossiTardelliAltobelli (@RossiTardelli) reported

    @virginmedia Not really an answer is it. Appreciate you're not at the sharp end of every outage, but just throwing in the same message on the service status page and not giving customers an idea of what is going on after several days is poor practice.

  • ConfusciousDee Dee (@ConfusciousDee) reported

    Dureen at 10:17, Feb 21: I am supposed to be working Dureen at 10:25, Feb 21: very helpful @virginmedia not only I don't have any internet, your customer service is the worst I have experienced in a long time.

  • jdaukes Johnny Daukes (@jdaukes) reported

    @virginmedia You can ‘state’ what you like. I closed my account and you’ve not carried it out. There’s not account linked to this now and I’m not using the remaining service you’ve mistakenly left active. Goodbye.

  • LiamFlanagan22 LF (@LiamFlanagan22) reported

    Is Virgin Media down in Lucan? No TV or Internet at the moment
