  • CallyRaven Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @virginmedia I seem to be the first one to report them, still saying intermittent problems in my area. Can't get to speak to anyone on phone, I rely on the Internet.

  • CallyRaven Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @virginmedia And our Internet is down again this morning! So because its intermittent we don't get compensation, tried to call, can't get through (have to do it on mobile, our 'landline' is now internet reliant!)

  • CallyRaven Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @virginmedia 3 times in 3 weeks we are without internet! We are paying for a service we are not able to use! Are we going to be compensated for this?

  • barrys59 Barry Slater (@barrys59) reported from Barton upon Irwell, England

    @virginmedia still no service M27. 4th hour! Rubbish!

  • LindzDDub Lindz Devine (@LindzDDub) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia I have to say your Internet connection is ridiculous... for months on end, it's been shocking. I'm sick and tired of resetting my hub, I shouldn't be having this issue. Never had so much issue for the years I've had you and now, the past 6 months, I'm paying monies…

  • SiManM20 Simon Manning 🇪🇺 - SiManM20@mstdn.uk (@SiManM20) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia are you down again in M20? Hub flashing red again.

  • stavroversfc s. whalley (@stavroversfc) reported from Lower Darwen, England

    @virginmedia your broadband is down again 🤬

  • elisabethhilto4 Elisabeth Hilton (@elisabethhilto4) reported from Lowton, England

    @virginmedia Been signed up to a contract I specifically asked not to be. Unable to get through on the phone and your online complaint submission form does not work. Can someone please contact me urgently

  • elisabethhilto4 Elisabeth Hilton (@elisabethhilto4) reported from Lowton, England

    @virginmedia Trying to make a complaint - signed up to a deal I clearly asked not to be. Your website doesn’t work and can’t get through on the phone. Can someone please dm me with a way to speak to someone urgently

  • tonyj01 Tony Jacobs (@tonyj01) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia seems to be down nationally. 1: tell us status 2: tell us when back on

  • HollowayAlec Alec Holloway (@HollowayAlec) reported from Stretford, England

    @virginmedia is unbelievable that our Internet is so poor, trying to contact someone via phone on numerous occasions waiting for over 45 minutes to speak with someone. Still haven't been able to get through to anyone.

  • LindzDDub Lindz Devine (@LindzDDub) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia @virginhelp I've never had this much issue as I have had today. I'm plugged in on ethernet, I've reset my hub, and checked my area and there is no issue at all. My WiFi is working from my hub but yet its booting me out of Destiny 2 and not just that but the chat parties on PS5 itself

  • timmycooke Tim Cooke 🇺🇦 (@timmycooke) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Both wired and wireless. We've had 8 engineers out, a rewire, new hub and still endless drop outs. Was told finally it was an upload issue from the amp that supplied the box on the street. But still we're having issues. The 150 number is joke, make it simple!!!

  • Duddydudson Kevin Dudson (@Duddydudson) reported from Wigan, England

    @NigelJTurner @virginmedia Same for me, I can cancel or change my package by the 28th of march then get a 19% increase on my new package on the 1st of April. Only had my contract 5 months.being **** Turpind here!!!

  • gbmcfc GLENN (@gbmcfc) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Well you find I'm cancelling my contract with yourselves, hope you go bust, your customer service team is a shambolic embarrasment. Loyalty works both ways.

  • Karamonkey1 Weirdly even older fan (@Karamonkey1) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia And the sum total of welcome texts I received during my 7 night stay in Jamaica was 189. I never moved from the same hotel. I often got 4-8 texts whilst sat at the same restaurant table or in my room. @virginmedia get your act together

  • TheWiganParky Laser Lux, Wigan. (@TheWiganParky) reported from Haydock, England

    @virginmedia It says there's no issues at the moment, but I'm only getting 13mbps.

  • WCONNOLLY2512 William Connolly (@WCONNOLLY2512) reported from Manchester, England

    @beverleyturner @virginmedia Virgin Media had gone ****. Poor broadband, crappie TV channels and half don't even work.

  • TheWiganParky Laser Lux, Wigan. (@TheWiganParky) reported from Haydock, England

    @virginmedia If my bill went down with my speed, I wouldn't mind.

  • PaulRegent1 Paul Regent (@PaulRegent1) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia no internet available in Bolton - must be an outage as, although coverage is very poor, it isn’t usually this poor!!

  • FiveStarGer 🇬🇧 (@FiveStarGer) reported

    @ThreeUK Stop telling lies data isn't fine it constantly cuts out, also calls won't work via 3rd party services if your in my situation ie broadband down. You lot and @virginmedia are a complete and utter joke you don't give a **** about anyone as long as the money comes in

  • FiveStarGer 🇬🇧 (@FiveStarGer) reported

    @ThreeUK Data services aren't working normally I keep having to flick aeroplane mode on and off. This is an absolute joke between you lot and my @virginmedia broadband being down it's a disgrace

  • BrownEyedGirlGB Trina S 💙 (@BrownEyedGirlGB) reported

    @virginmedia I became a Virgin Media customer when the installation was completed at noon on Monday. I’m on your M250 plan. That evening I contacted your help team as I was having issues when streaming and Speedtest was showing I was getting nothing like what I signed up for. 1/2

  • katie_katie23 Katie Buckingham (@katie_katie23) reported

    @virginmedia Received the adapter and finally have a working phone line. Shame it took 3 weeks to get to the bottom of the issue. Disappointed that I was told porting number was able to be done by several staff and that they submitted a form to request it, but at least phone is working now

  • ChrisMouUK Chris | FM Mou (@ChrisMouUK) reported

    @virginmedia can anyone get in touch with me regarding issues I am facing. I have tried numerous times over WhatsApp and the online chat but unfortunately I am being palmed off. Please help otherwise I'll just cancel.

  • FiveStarGer 🇬🇧 (@FiveStarGer) reported

    What a joke @virginmedia your crappy app says there is no issues in my area yet there's been 10 engineers working in my street all day. No issues aye OK pal lol

  • siltanu kef (@siltanu) reported

    @555Husker @virginmedia Backup! 10 days our area broadband has been down, why you bother for buckuo a line if it does not connect within days. You are taking us for a ride. So frustrating and very disappointing.

  • StuInAus Stuart Allsopp (@StuInAus) reported

    @virginmedia The outcome was that after over TWENTY minutes they refused to deal with it unless I gave them an account number. And the box is still wide open for people to rip the cables out of. Because the 'customer service' number is a joke.

  • siltanu kef (@siltanu) reported

    @555Husker @virginmedia I have never seen for a while, virigin services going down year after year. We have been with company for long time. We ahve been with out broad 10 days counting...

  • siltanu kef (@siltanu) reported

    @555Husker @virginmedia I am so frustrated, they have been saying that identified the problems engineers have been dispatched. How long does it take? Two weeks? What a mistake to be with virgin .
