    Seems like @virginmedia is completely down in our area, I can't even access their support site to log a problem. Also it appears that @O2 is having some sort of issue, my mobile data connection is so slow that royal mail could be a viable messaging alternative.

    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

    @virginmedia I’m currently on hold. My mum is in her 70’s and waited in for an engineer only for them to send a text 10mins before to say you were coming in the 26th. The original appointment was the 21st and her TV service has been down for well over a week.

    @virginmedia your treatment of us over a Lasting Power of Attorney issue has been appalling. Your people have actually SHREDDED a document costing hundreds of pounds despite us being told it had been returned. CISAS has been invoked and your CEO will be told . @MoneyTelegraph

    Kiel (@k1El_w) reported from Birmingham, England

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

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

    @virginmedia Think we need to call an engineer out anyways, before the outage I was only getting 600mbps max when my package is the 1Gig.

    @virginmedia We had issuse with our service, and was told we would need new cables. We the new cables installed. They left cabels hanging in the garden which has since been removed. Our grass is ruined (I have photos) it looks like next doors cable are also under or grass????

  • measlewolf
    Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia Yes, the fault dates back from the 25th August and hopefully a fix will be made tomorrow, if not an engineer is booked for next week. When I finally got through the team were very helpful

    @virginmedia Hi, following on from the resolution of the issue outlined above. My dad has received a full bill despite being assured by every employee we have spoken to that he wouldn't be charged for the period he was without service (more than two months). Please advise

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

    Once again the Internet Orovider that claims to be the best @virginmedia, has an outage. I bet all my savings there would be significant kick back if the directors didn’t get paid, because the Lady dealing with their account cannot get online. Time has come for change #cancelVM

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

    @virginmedia The TV goes all distorted I’ve done webchats phone calls the lot nothing has been resolved was told it was a problem in the area , neighbours have had no issues happened still have issues now but not as often but it’s a bit annoying esp when I’ve not had any money off

  • lePhantomPlume
    le Phantom Plume (@lePhantomPlume) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia It’s ok thanks, one of your team rang me, was extremely rude then hung up.

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

    @virginmedia Dear ‘RP,’ I find your tone unacceptable. I don’t care how many times you’ve had to repeat the statement; customers are paying for a service they’ve not been getting, so dial down your level of obnoxiousness please.

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

    @virginmedia Just to let you know, I've taken the time to write out another complaint via the link. I've submitted and it says 'nothing to see here'. The link says response within 7 days, and the submission says 28 days, and then my portal says I haven't raised a complaint. ANOTHER FAIL

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

    @virginmedia Everything is running fine then my devices can’t connect. It takes me switching the router off at the wall and on again for the connection to reestablish itself. First world problems but it’s a pain when I’m working upstairs and the router is downstairs. And it should just work!

  • 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?

  • 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

    @virginmedia any chance of an update regarding the outage in my local area regarding internet connection? It’s been down 2 days straight!

    @virginmedia The status checker says intermittent signal in your area. It's disgusting with how much I pay for broadband.

    @virginmedia I’m not happy with yr internet service. Every day this week there has been a loss to my service and this is happening weekly. There has been times when I’ve thought it’s an outage! NO SERVICE NOW SORT IT OUT PLEASE 😡

  • Samet_UK
    Samet (@Samet_UK) reported

    @virginmedia Still no any update or result. So I am so regret to be your customer.

  • WolfofX
    Wolf of X (@WolfofX) reported

    For more than a decade, Stan Beaton held onto something that many people would consider priceless. It wasn't jewelry, money, or a photograph. It was the voice of his wife, Ruby. Ruby passed away from cancer in 2003. Before she died, she had recorded the greeting on their home answering machine. It became the last recording of her voice, and whenever grief felt overwhelming, Stan would play it just to hear her speak again. He was so afraid of losing that message that he stayed with the same phone company for years, believing it was the safest way to protect it. Then, in 2014, everything changed. Following routine maintenance by Virgin Media, the voicemail suddenly disappeared. Stan was devastated. He believed the final piece of his wife's voice had been erased forever. When Virgin Media learned what had happened, they refused to give up. The company assembled a team of 11 engineers, who spent three days searching through backup systems and archived data. One executive compared the task to searching for a needle in a haystack. Against the odds, they found it. When the recording was played back to Stan during a BBC Radio Leeds interview, he broke down in tears. "That's her... It's just a wonderful, wonderful sound that I thought was lost forever." Virgin Media later provided him with copies of the recording so it would never be lost again. Sometimes technology isn't just about cables, servers, and code. Sometimes, it's about giving someone one more chance to hear the voice of the person they loved most.

    @AmyHeppi @virginmedia Same here. It’s been over 24 hours and my Wi-Fi is still down. I’ve called support twice—they only say there’s an area outage with no updates. The status page isn't helpful too. Really disappointed with Virgin Media. Time to look at other providers.

  • RobSFowler
    Rob Fowler (@RobSFowler) reported

    @virginmedia this is disgraceful! Look into it and do better, much better. From a customer of yours that is currently considering his options!

  • LubZafar

    @virginmedia I refuse to call you for hours to cancel for the third time since January. You’re a sick company

    Colin Smith (@smithco76) reported

    @MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK Same experience when my father died in September. Everyone was fantastic. Insurance, banks, utilities. Everything dealt with, no dramas & gave us plenty room & time to get paperwork. Virginmedia were horrible. Forced my mum to take out another contract before they’d close my dads

    @weyland76 @virginmedia They 100% need to invest in the air conditioning at the exchanges, as soon as it gets hot outside the internet goes down literally every day

    @virginmedia I've given you the incident number. What's to look into apart from your appalling service. But I've DMd you so feel free to send me more platitudinous bullshit!

    @virginmedia We have had no TV in L22 since Saturday 11th July, outage checker has shown fix time this afternoon - just received a text to say engineer on the way, fix time now tomorrow. This is a bit more than rubbish, how do I claim compensation? (I thought it was automatic)
