  • welshref Paul Collier (@welshref) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    Also, Virgin Media lost a long standing and loyal customer for their awful communication and lack of loyalty.

    @virginmedia 18.40. I got a text saying service was fixed and if I was still having issues to switch it off for 30 minutes, I left it off for 45.

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • tickles_t Neil Turner (@tickles_t) reported

    @virginmedia It just drops out all the time. Using your online checker it says that there is a network issue coming into the home. Told me to check the connections / reboot rooter etc (which I've done several times) and nothin has improved.

  • rajanmann rajan (@rajanmann) reported

    @virginmedia How would I know that? All I can say is the wifi has been down all morning and I’ve noticed other people on Twitter reporting similar issues, this is unacceptable

  • LeiytonJ Leiyton Jones (@LeiytonJ) reported

    @virginmedia Upstairs is just as bad

  • matthewcarter7 Matthew Carter (@matthewcarter7) reported from London, England

    @Thecarmagdriver @virginmedia 1) ISP hardware is total shite (Virgin in Particular) don’t use it. It is worth what you paid for it £0. 2) Draytek router and Ruckus wifi (connected via Cat6) is what you need to distribute throughout house (a single WiFi point is never going to work)! 3) it will cost money!

  • GKalsi2 G Kalsi (@GKalsi2) reported

    @virginmedia Is there update on the cabinet being secured ? We are now having network issues possibly due to the cabinet being on the floor and water (rain) getting into it .

  • Conwayjr20 Conwayjr (@Conwayjr20) reported

    @virginmedia what is wrong with the wifi. It's so annoying. The internet doesn't work

  • lincsgeezer lincsgeezer (@lincsgeezer) reported

    @virginmedia This is ridiculous. Now speeds are slower. Have done as requested. Can't Trust you any longer so will have to use my phone s it is quicker and more stable. Complaint go in.

  • stephielou85 Stephielou (@stephielou85) reported

    @virginmedia can you help.. we have no internet., there is no faults on the app.. yes we have turned router off.. why??

  • GKalsi2 G Kalsi (@GKalsi2) reported

    @virginmedia I’m sorry but this is the same response I have been getting from the call centre when I’ve called and logged this and on Twitter . Like a lot off people I’m working from home and can not afford wifi to go down . Virgin media has not in the last month come out and resolved this

  • JamieScott11 Jamie Scott (@JamieScott11) reported

    @virginmedia Trying to cancel my Virgin TV and broadband package. Keep getting passed to a “disconnection team” and after 15 minutes of waiting to talk to a person the call is ended. You are the worst TV and Internet provider.
