    @virginmedia I spoke to them the other day they told me that you do not record any time when the broadband drops out only when a customer calls in so please can you get this sorted out thank you

  • lintoniosmythe
    Iinton Smith (@lintoniosmythe) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    @virginmedia your call centre is an absolute joke. No one deals with problems and just transfers to a different department who hang up

  • TrevorRidley
    Trid (@TrevorRidley) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @Designer_Ross @SkyHelpTeam @virginmedia Yeah that’s the issue I’ve come across . Slow download speeds but always reported at just above the payment threshold. It’s got worse recently

  • purplelime
    Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia I didn’t get the opportunity to call yesterday, but I noticed last night that it’s working again. There was nothing mentioned on service page (not unusual) but there must’ve been a fault that was eventually fixed.

    Sarah Loughran (@SarahDruscilla) reported

    @O2 since joining virgin media the coverage in Milton Keynes is terrible. I’m almost always on 1 bar. You’ve gone from being the best signal in the area to probably the worst.

    @fearlesslymine @ITVX @ITVXhelp I’ve been trying on virgin media (Ireland) and it’s not working

  • Vicky51308928
    Vicky 💖 (@Vicky51308928) reported

    @virginmedia your internet causing my son to have huge meltdowns. I am paying for a service that is incompetent, unreliable and damaging to my son due to his very severe condition. Last month your staff called my sons disability a ‘mental breakdown’- not acceptable

  • iBraderz
    iBraderz (@iBraderz) reported

    @virginmedia Just under 2 weeks later and still no resolution. This has now been going on over a month and all the service checker says is they are aware but the date of repair is consistently getting delayed. This is absolutely poor.

  • alexanderjordan
    alexander jordan (@alexanderjordan) reported

    . @virginmedia network down since Tuesday. Entirely down Tuesday, intermittent Wednesday, down again today, you keep changing the status and then advise to wait 21 hours to book an engineer, that would mean earliest visit Monday provided you don’t change the status again.

  • fergal_hickey
    Fergal Hickey (@fergal_hickey) reported

    @VirginMediaIE Shocking Virgin Media Mobile. Can’t receive calls from Vodafone numbers for 6wks now. Now told it’s a widespread problem after being fobbed off for a month. Not good enough - VM should have been honest with subscribers and advised them but chose deceit instead

    @virginmedia intermittent service in the area yet no sign of any engineers sorting issues. How long will this go on?
