    Oh look no internet again. Thanks @virginmedia Someone recommend a new service provider please because I’ve truly had enough :(

  • EdwardCroft19
    Edward Croft (@EdwardCroft19) reported from Lincoln District, England

    @virginmedia I’ve attempted to speak with your team and somehow never get through to anyone, just an automated service telling me to wait to be connected. Hence resorting to tweeting.

    AlicrySky (@SkyAlicry) reported from Lincoln District, England

    @virginmedia It’s intermittent. Not off often enough to be called no service or you’d have to pay us back for the lack of service but not on long enough to be much use.

    @virginmedia tried calling you for 40 minutes now, no luck. Broadband issue in LN1 area. Can ping external servers but your DNS servers (194.168.4.100) is not responding/working. All our devices are affected, but service status says all good. Rebooted everything. Fix please!

    @virginmedia Thanks for the steer to your Indian call centre ,they very helpfully tell me to remain patient until the outage is resolved unfortunately they couldn’t tell me if 21 days and counting is a record maybe you have other forms of enlightenment.

  • Clive_Burt
    Clive Burt (@Clive_Burt) reported from North Hykeham, England

    @virginmedia I have been offered the opportunity to complain, but as a customer of 20+ years I am aware complaints tend to get ignored. At its worst speed was down to 0.5Mega bits per second ... At its best (for 20 minutes or so) maybe 150Mega bits per second. Paying for 200Mbps .....

    @mrwilliamstokes He couldn’t be clearer that he’s asking for a repayable loan not free money. The media really have their heart set on pulling Virgin apart. People are terrible too, we make our own beds that we have to sleep in - E.g. flying Ryanair now because we put nicer airlines out of biz.

  • amyxpxx
    Amy (@amyxpxx) reported from Lincoln District, England

    @virginmedia I would like to cancel my contract it’s finished September 11th

  • Pogit
    Richard Adams (@Pogit) reported from Lincoln District, England

    @virginmedia That’s not true that why they now allow calls to other urgent services for priority vulnerable customers such as gas, water electric police and medical urgent but not emergency numbers the trouble is this doesn’t allow calls to hone help and life lines though they should!

  • Matthew56242945
    Matthew Cooper (@Matthew56242945) reported from Carlton on Trent, England

    Virgin Media fixed the phone issue, a local fault, so I rang Royal Mail to get my money back. The phone went out again during the call. If I was a person with anxiety and depression issues this might be a major problem. Oh wait, I am a person.....

  • oh_so_boatie
    Jessica Boatright (@oh_so_boatie) reported from Lincoln District, England

    Not a great start to Monday - @virginmedia is down, mobile hotspot not working, and as a freelancer who doesn't get paid when I don't work, losing much needed income while things are ££££ is very irritating 😞

  • wilsmadein85
    Nathan Wilson (@wilsmadein85) reported from Boultham, England

    @virginmedia Every time i ring we get told to visit the website then the phone goes dead. And your still taking money for my dad's mobile! I'm amazed how incompetent your services are, do you get special training so you can be this crap?

  • EmcdNotts
    Erin McDaid (@EmcdNotts) reported from Carlton on Trent, England

    @virginmedia Thanks - will do if it persists but it would be so much easier to have live help or an email link rather than focusing on pushing the 'community' to help ourselves.

  • etheridg
    john etheridge (@etheridg) reported from Lincoln District, England

  • mattxjones

    @virginmedia It wasn’t - I just want to add sky sports to my package, but I can’t online and the automated telephone service doesn’t work

  • Pogit
    Richard Adams (@Pogit) reported from Lincoln District, England

    Any update to the Digital Landline faults in #Lincoln @virginmedia. I’m told the cancellation my services for the 1st April has been cancelled why is this? Why are 150 trying to upsell me @VMO2News products when your core products don’t work! +3wks without a landline @Ofcom help

    @IanLythgoe4 @virginmedia Why would you have to pay for it? It’s their issue? I still have no tv and I want an engineer to come and sort it because it’s ridiculous now. Im not paying anything. 5 days we have been without tv.

  • JezDons
    Jeremy Burrows (@JezDons) reported

    @virginmedia my tv & broadband services are down in the DN6 7 area of Doncaster. Is there an outage?

  • youlum
    Uilleam Cameron 🏉 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇬🇧 🇦🇺 (@youlum) reported

    @Cryptic_Giraffe @BladeoftheS Hence my comment about a cheaper Starlink, which I’m sure I read is now on offer? And why is it cheaper in some of Europe? Subsidised service? Monopoly? I’ve CityFibre and Open Reach in my street and my provider is VirginMedia (I thought they had their own fibre?)

  • georgehomiltonx
    George Homilton (@georgehomiltonx) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia After multiple calls to their call centres in recent months I have come to the conclusion that their agents run a competition to see who can get a customer the angriest and an award is given at the end of the month.

  • rl1602
    Richard Loach (@rl1602) reported from Gedling District, England

    @Benleo @virginmedia They ruined my Christmas in 2023. Whole day on phone sorting issues with father in laws broadband then 2 site visits ending up with me throwing my vape at TV and a bill for £1000. Horrendous company

    𝐀𝐥𝐝𝐢 𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐝𝐢🗨 (@aldismaldi) reported

    @virginmedia @Benleo Said they'd send a new box due to fault. Never arrived. Couldn't find a trace of the call! Then said expect an engineer call that never happened. Don't take out contracts with them!!

  • KaiMonroe5
    Kai Monroe Ⓥ🌱🌏✌️💙 (@KaiMonroe5) reported

    @virginmedia @Benleo I had VM for about 12 years and couldn`t fault the service. I only left because I got a cheaper provider who are okay. I will be returning to VM once my contract is up though.

  • UpTheVibration
    England My Country I Love You (@UpTheVibration) reported

    @jomickane @Benleo @virginmedia I've always found them to be really good, been with them years, never a problem, broadband connection is great - we're high usage, and this year they even emailed me to let me know they were keeping my existing discount when my contract was up, I usually renegotiate each time
