    Stu Jones (@StuJonesMusic) reported from Kidderminster, England

    Hi @virginmedia, I am in Kidderminster, Worcestershire (DY11) and my Virgin Media broadband connection is very poor this week. I have checked your website & apparently there are no issues in my area. I have also restated my access point/router twice but no improvement.

  • nealesj
    Simon Neale (@nealesj) reported from Swindon, England

    It looks like @virginmedia name servers are not accessible so no DNS records can be resolved. A major outage for their services. Seems to be no comms from them. @BBCNews are you aware? #VirginMediaDown #VirginMedia

  • redron1975
    Ronnie Harris (@redron1975) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @virginmedia so what crap excuse u got today for us in the ws10 area? Internet down again. Honestly if you were a guard dog nothing would be safe. Even less reliable than the weather forecast.

    @virginmedia @YodelOnline your ability to deliver equipment is shocking!!! The customer service you provide is even worse!!!

  • BrianMCape
    Brian Cape (@BrianMCape) reported from West Bromwich, England

    Quite possibly the worst onboarding and customer 'care' experience I've EVER had @virginmedia Unfulfilled promises, failure to deliver contract as agreed and now I'm 'lost' in the system and being ignored. I'm left with no choice other than to 'out' you. #CaveatEmptor

  • saqibsvideos
    ch Saqib (@saqibsvideos) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I did, and told them everything what's been happening they goes we will sort out and I still getting emails from virgin I don't know why and problem is still there and bill getting delayed which I been told them about that and its keep happening since January

  • CaseyRain
    Casey Rain (aka S-Endz) (@CaseyRain) reported from Birmingham, England

    Had an @virginmedia broadband outage on Sunday for 2 hours. Since then, connection so spotty that I'm getting 10 seconds of completely dropped packets followed by 20 seconds of slow-as-molasses ping times once every 10 minutes.

  • paragaz
    Garry (@paragaz) reported from Streetly, England

    @virginmedia hey. I am trying to speak to someone about my account but turns out nobody recognises my account number. Can you PM me to organise calling me please. I've tried the text message service

  • a_Muss60
    Andy (@a_Muss60) reported from Swindon, England

    @matt_hanson70 @virginmedia Intermittent for 2.5 days, Sunday always v poor the worst is 0.4mbs with a 250mbs supply. VM's script always saying reboot etc.. Funny though following reporting an issue a week ago I suddenly recorded 256mbs for an hour then it slowly drops to normal! First ever hitting supply.

  • ReissOmari
    Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England

    And just like that my @virginmedia is off again, no internet whatsoever. Embarrassing service from them, very disappointed and frustrated.

  • redron1975
    Ronnie Harris (@redron1975) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @virginmedia Right then fools. How many times do I need to contact you to tell you how bad our internet is? I am so fed up with this service and wouldn't recommend you to my worst enemy. I cant wait to get service from someone reliable. Clowns

  • Stephen12857059
    Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Nobody has called me and the WhatsApp chat is very frustrating and not dealing with the issue. This is very simple, I was sent contract paperwork with an agreed monthly fee of £86.75. Why have I paid two months of excessively higher payments. I should have left VM

  • stumccullagh
    Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Swindon, England

    @virginmedia No , when I last spoke to someone on the phone the issue was still happening , it doesn’t happen as much now but still happens at least once a day

    @virginmedia b42 is shocking supposed to have 200meg the #ManUtd Vs #thfc is **** like streaming on a ZXSPECTRUM

  • NickHickey84
    Trickie Dickie (@NickHickey84) reported from Bradmore, England

    @virginmedia a customer of yours for years. Had a cpi increase letter to say leave with out penalty. Competitor massively cheaper than you for faster speeds. Only to be told by a colleague I have to pay £110 to leave today?

  • Momrocks50
    Yvonne 💙 (@Momrocks50) reported from Birmingham, England

    Excuse me we pay enough for a "cough" service where is it? #virginmedia

  • tr0y1291
    Troy (@tr0y1291) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia the most unreliable service going! Sky should be rubbing their hands together knowing that this shower of **** is their main competition.

  • stumccullagh
    Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Swindon, England

    Any news on outages in B37? Also how do I get compensation for loss of svcs (inc my TV not working properly since September) @virginmedia

  • lvwlvs
    LVWLVS (@lvwlvs) reported from Cheslyn Hay, England

    @virginmedia That was the first thing I tried but nothing happened. It’s only when I power off at the wall, wait a minute then power on that it changes. Right now it’s working fine but this has been a recurring problem this week.

  • nippa77
    Neil Simpson (@nippa77) reported from Swindon, England

    @virginmedia why is it that your service is up and down more than a yo-yo? It’s getting ridiculous now!!!

  • BurnheadMax
    GlenEagle. Better society now for disabled. (@BurnheadMax) reported

    @virginmedia The fact you've taken money when you shouldn't have and then wonder why your bill wasn't paid is called 'basic business'. If you compound your error by not allowing people to sign in, chances of resolution diminish. It's not rocket science.

  • CraigA3
    Craig Aldridge (@CraigA3) reported

    @virginmedia I have messaged you team online, replied to their emails and tried calling. But your team told me my package wouldn't change as I moved home then have sent me a contract for 4x as much and then decided to not pass security with me to fix. It's an evil scam

    Thomas White (@DebisGarcia) reported

    Tired of paying for multiple subscriptions like Sky, BT Sport, Virgin Media, Now TV, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Apple TV+? I have got the solution. This IPTV @8k_Best_IPTV23 offers: • 300,000+ live channels • 65,000+ VODs • PPV events • Netflix • 78,000+ movies

  • sarahrsav
    sarah🌹 (@sarahrsav) reported

    Imagine being half way through a chat with virgin media about WiFi not working. It then kicks me off cause of intermittent WiFi in the area (issue I’ve had for about 7 months lol) and now I can’t get back on to it. What a waste of 50 mins of my life

  • Dr_SReshamwalla
    Sophie Reshamwalla (@Dr_SReshamwalla) reported

    @virginmedia absolutely appalling customer service. Been a customer for years. I have an ongoing complaint with a complaint reference number but nobody at virgin is replying. I’m trying on here to see if there is a human who can respond. Virgin can you respond??

  • AlloquiStrix
    Alloqui Strix (@AlloquiStrix) reported

    If it took me over a week to fix a network problem (it will actually be 10 days when @virginmedia get around to fixing our problem) I would have been fired. And you can't seem to register for compensation, even if you follow @virginmedia's own help system

  • AlloquiStrix
    Alloqui Strix (@AlloquiStrix) reported

    @virginmedia an outage in my area since Tuesday. There is supposed to be a means to register for compensation for loss of service, but the website doesn't contain any buttons to do so - are you making it difficult on purpose noting "if you do not register you don't qualify"?

  • AshReade
    Ashley Reade (@AshReade) reported

    @virginmedia You’ve left a vulnerable customer isolated despite a written promise of service until May 2nd. Your staff ADMITTED the error at 13:45 today but a manager just hung up on me. Absolute disgrace. Turn my lifeline service back on now. #VirginMedia #Ofcom

  • clive503
    Clive (@clive503) reported

    @dvoradikal @virginmedia When I left this appalling company, I had so many calls I started calling them out for harassment! If they'd shown that much interest when I complained about intermittent broadband, I might have stayed! So glad I didn't thought! Better service, cheaper price!

  • BathSupporters
    Bath Supporters (@BathSupporters) reported

    @KenTrowbridge3 @virginmedia Worst supplier I have ever had - but we have no choice for full fibre here, so it’s literally the best of a bad bunch. I will change when other providers come in at a heartbeat!
