    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.

    @virginmedia Hi, I’m getting around 80mpbs now, should be 350 though, when I try and test it says there’s a problem in the area, but no further information

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

    Fed up of these “intermittent” problems with my @virginmedia broadband.

  • chrispsaras Chris Psaras (@chrispsaras) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia no broadband since yesterday afternoon, told engineers were on route but still no update. Your offshore call centre is also unhelpful and not able to offer any further information. Please can you help?

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

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

    Mad that I pay £71 a month for 350mbps a month for @virginmedia for them to only supply me with 40mbps, internet is barely moving, can’t even load basic web pages on my MacBook or phone. Problems in the Birmingham area??

  • RefinedSavage Dani Grim (@RefinedSavage) reported from Dudley, England

    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.

  • ________Danny Satish Danny Paul (@________Danny) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia I called cust serv today after logging complaint on 26th Nov and hearing nothing back. cust serv asked me to request my data and voice calls. listen to it myself and then send proof of being missold a contract/virgin error, so virgin can then resolve the matter and complaint

  • OpiniatedOne1 Pretentious Opinions (@OpiniatedOne1) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @virginmedia its nice you’re offering new customers ridiculously cheap deals but charging prices through the roof for an inferior service for a customer of nearly 20 years #CostOfLivingCrisis

  • jfrncs_ John (@jfrncs_) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I have now tried unsuccessfully for 12 hours to use the WhatsApp service as again it goes around in circles if I am not immediately available. The number you helpfully provided hangs up after sending a link… please advise how I talk to someone about my account.

  • HJMKent Howard Martin 🇺🇦🇪🇺 (@HJMKent) reported from Kidderminster, England

    @virginmedia You have just repeated, word for word, the last tweet you sent me, to which I replied! Pointless trying to have any conversation with @virginmedia because it just goes round in circles! The most appalling customer services in UK in my experience! No more tweets from you, please!

  • EvanD Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Birmingham, England

    @eerosupport hi. I have a Eero 6+. If I connect it to @virginmedia 1gbps service, will I get 1gbps?

  • edwardlui Edward Lui (@edwardlui) reported

    @virginmedia as we have fast fibre broadband service to a different room. Are we safe to remove the old NTL boxes and cables from the front of the house to every other room? Or would you send an engineer out to do this? Cheers.

  • croft_niko Niko Croft (@croft_niko) reported

    @richardbranson I would love to watch this film but my @virginmedia has been down for 49 days and no one has done anything about it. @LutzSchueler posts about internet but does not help his customers.

  • 1stLondonFoodie Edward Quan (@1stLondonFoodie) reported

    @JamesTurner37 @virginmedia If you get a good signal and bandwidth you can bin Virgin

  • Grwylie Gary wylie (@Grwylie) reported

    @virginmedia is stating no outage in my area , and issue is my router but all my neighbors with Virgin are having the same issue.

  • Riics3 Riics (@Riics3) reported

    @virginmedia I will now block this connection as I really am furious at the crap way my family has been messed around and left without a land line for 12 days. A communication company with appalling communication systems. Go figure.

  • vicky3089 Vivek Khandelwal (@vicky3089) reported

    @virginmedia And when i asked questions to advisor if the issue is in my area, he said no, its the issue with only my connection. Your answer is totally opposite to that. Who si correct?

  • jools067 Tinks 😁💕🥂 (@jools067) reported

    @virginmedia I have no phone, your service status says no issues but when I phone from my mobile it says there is, my 87yr old mother is alone and I have no way of contacting her, I rang to make a formal complaint and one of your staff cut me off disgusting service! Unacceptable

  • Cwisteene Christine Maile (@Cwisteene) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you, all it says is "16/08/2022 We're working on a solution to your issue We'll be in touch soon." more or less repetitively. The problem is they're not calling me, despite me receiving texts saying they've tried contacting me. :(

  • vaishaks19 Vaishak Shaji (@vaishaks19) reported

    @virginmedia Why should I call up? Don't u guys know whom to b sent? What is ur responsibility? If u guys don't know whom to b sent for a new customer, better close up ur customer service team. I'm done with this ****** service.

  • vicky3089 Vivek Khandelwal (@vicky3089) reported

    @virginmedia Hello, the internet is keep dropping out (at least thrice in an hour). Reported the same many times to the call centre advisor, but no resolution yet.
