Clive Burt (@Clive_Burt) reported from North Hykeham, England@virginmedia @KazH50 Can you tell me what the issues are in Lincoln, speed down to 2Mbs ... Paying for 200Mbs

Richard Adams (@Pogit) reported from Lincoln District, England@O2 @virginmedia Thanks I’ll look into what multi-sim plans you have but the reason I left was due to poor family, multi user based tariffs.
-
Richard Adams (@Pogit) reported from Lincoln District, England@virginmedia not happy #VirginMedia landline forcibly converted to digital line after “fault” broadband outage 1am this morning sets off lifeline phone line warning. The point of having a big red emergency button is when there’s an emergency you press it and it calls for HELP!

supanotts (@bellyncfc) reported from Carlton on Trent, England@virginmedia I have now tried a laptop on wired and that varies from 110 meg down to 30meg..i really need a engineer to sort this! I have done all your resents,power downs x 3.i have been promised call backs which never came,I'm sick to death of being fobbed off tbh I need out this contract !
-
Clive Burt (@Clive_Burt) reported from North Hykeham, England@virginmedia Er no, if you had read the thread in its entirety, you will see that I said I was getting someone to look at how to organise the internal network on the house, and I would be leaving at the end of my contract, in 17 months. I would not recommend Virgins services to anyone.
-
Simon Obendorf (@obendorf) reported from Lincoln District, England@virginmedia No. Trying to upgrade to a faster broadband-only plan. Chat can’t do it because cancelling the landline I don’t use is heretical. Fastest broadband speeds require me to take a SIM I don’t want or need. Online tries to push a TV service. No one listens. Customer fumes.
-
Imp & Angel (@ImpAngel1) reported from North Hykeham, EnglandExtremely frustrated and disappointed at the very poor service we're receiving from @vmbusiness as we bring five new phone contracts over from EE. No reply to emails, no returned tel calls. #unacceptable
-
David A Slack (@cannabicyclol) reported from Carlton on Trent, EnglandFirst class service from @virginmedia DVR box had ‘green screen of death’. Reported Wednesday, new upgraded V6 box arrived Thursday. Installed and working! Well done @virginmedia
-
Toby Stephenson (@tobystephenson) reported from Lincoln District, England@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.
-
Grez Nicholson (@greznic) reported from Skellingthorpe, England@virginmedia any problems in the LN6 area, your connection keeps dropping
-
supanotts (@bellyncfc) reported from Carlton on Trent, England@virginmedia my broadband has been crap for 3 weeks now,had an engineer friday,says he's done what he can and to see how it is,in a nutshell its the same....shite sometimes 110 meg sometimes like now 15 meg(on 4g for this) im sick and tired now and would like to cancel my contrac
-
Davith (@Davith03257086) reported from Lincoln District, England@virginmedia Can you please tell me why your broadband is so rubbish it can't even support me streaming a game of the PlayStation network?. It happens every day all day. Sort it out
-
Hannah Allen (@Hannie02Allen) reported from Lincoln District, England@virginmedia what is your plan to help consumers who are now having to claim from the government and will struggle to pay their payments for their packages and unsure when the next bit of money will be.
-
heathermayfield (@loobilou) reported from Balderton, EnglandCould a twitter friend give me the number to phone Virgin Media -the internet is down and Newark’s rubbishy 3 G never loads anything in my phone.
-
Jessica Boatright (@oh_so_boatie) reported from Lincoln District, EnglandNot 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 😞
-
GIBBO (@ONLYONEGIBBO) reported from Waddington, EnglandSo @virginmedia refused to let @SkyUK transfer our landline so now all services have been removed by SKY. How can people work from home when you give a fix date of 3 December - thus needs sorting now - no TV, no WiFi no phone
-
Richard Farrell (@RichardFarrell8) reported from Carlton on Trent, EnglandLooking for advice. Trying to cancel @virginmedia as they keep saying I owe them £168 but they should have credited me £70 but they have debited me instead. Made several calls over the past weeks to no joy. Logged a formal complaint to no avail. Advice is much appreciated 🤯

-
me (@helentink) reported@virginmedia your customer service..wow..wat can i say. Double our bill then say nothing you can do to help with offers and will juat charge us a 500 pound cancellation fee...you obviously dont care about long term customers...
-
dawnieC (@CorkinDawn) reported@virginmedia I already said i did status check which is estimating 5.08pm fix. My point was text says should be fixed shortly. I dont consider 9hours being shortly. Why does this happen more often now? You are no longer reliable any more 🙁
-
Chef Paul (@ChefPaul41) reportedReckon we had better offerings on TV last week in our lodge ( caravan ) with Freeview than we do back home with virgin media. TV sucks.
-

Mitch W 71 (@Mitch_1142) reported@1Atkins @ThatsTVOfficial xenon81Message posted on30 Jul 2026 03:21 PM - last edited: 30 Jul 2026 03:22 PM That's TV has gradually removed all its channels from Sky, Freesat and Virgin Media over the last few months. It remains on Freeview (for now) but is said to be suffering financial problems.
-
GW 🔰🏴 (@GW_Mktg) reported@Girlw0ndr Yep steer clear of @virginmedia. Their broadband is down as we speak!
-
Jon H (@JonHar1985) reported@virginmedia why the hell has my Internet been intermittent for over a week and after today was supposed to be the “fix” date, it’s now updated to say next week? Literally can’t work due it dropping out. Imagine there’s no compensation for you turning to **** though, hey?

Dety (@Dety0) reportedLove tech like this WAS-110 XGS-PON SFP is a a module that allows you to bypass most USA/CA routers (AT&T's BGW320, Virgin Media's Hub 5X, or Bell's Giga Hub) by copying info from your router to this module and insert into a third party router or media convert from SFP to Ethernet to a router Get better stability, performance, and stronger QoS settings / firewall etc compared to the default setup I hope 1 day i find someone that needs this done
