    @virginmedia is there an internet problem in the Norris green area

    @virginmedia please help online isn’t getting me anywhere, no one answers questions this is my last hope.... I need a signal boost due to working from home... help

  • TLClassless Ben 🌶️ (@TLClassless) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @Jack1295 @DanCrea_ @virginmedia Yeah pretty much what Jack said, other intro prices for a lesser package also weren't as good, v sad. Yeah I've been thinking about doing an overhaul of my whole network, this might be the time to take the dive 😂

  • topbalcony Tom Kelly (@topbalcony) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia I have been unable to access my Blueyonder e mail for 2 weeks now. I have tried the recommended fixes to no Avila and am told I might wait for an hour to have someone answer my call. £80 a month for a broken service is a bit on the steep side

  • JoeyCaldwell JC🔴⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (@JoeyCaldwell) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia download speeds today have been an absolute disgrace. Usually spot on but last two days struggling to make 20mbps. Joke of a service

  • rider45 Brian O'Keefe (@rider45) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia Never got a reply so my sister as account holder has sent a text but still awaiting a reply.

  • shmike07 michael allen (@shmike07) reported from Seaforth, England

    @III_VIII_I @virginmedia I work for another provider,it never drops below 60mb anytime day or night so it’s possible to do it. Over subscribed in your area.

  • colinlit colin littlejohns (@colinlit) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Why is broadband so bad @virginmedia please confirm as ypur service is appalling

  • ndmerc Nick Mercer (@ndmerc) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia customers suffering the usual standard of service from virgin Media again. Denial of service should see customers compensated, customer service appears to be the lowest priority.

  • TheICC_Sandra Sandra Jane Eyre (@TheICC_Sandra) reported from Southport, England

    Great service from online service (text) and very helpful call from technical support today from @virginmedia, new hub on way to hopefully resolve issues #customerservice #FirstWorldProblems

  • ZHaxhifazliu Zeliha Haxhifazliu (@ZHaxhifazliu) reported from Liverpool, England

    @vmbusiness at this current time working from home under so much stress and pressure the last thing you need is your broadband playing up. This is not acceptable we ate paying for a service which is currently nonexistent. Wifi goes down every 5 min. Please can you look into this

  • chlamityjane Dr Jane F. Wilkinson (@chlamityjane) reported from Wallasey, England

    Just tried to contact @virginmedia as we have no WiFi even tho the signal looks strong & like we’re connected - nil. Using data now. In a horrible circuit of click this then that.... come back to same ‘contact us’ page! 😩 An update please @virginmedia !

  • brownpigeon1 Brown Pigeon (@brownpigeon1) reported from Liverpool, England

    @APATBillShep @virginmedia Been blaming my connection problems on knackered laptop in the Swan, but general concensus appears to be that @virginmedia is just crap

  • gray_h81 Gray H (@gray_h81) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia have got to be the worst network providers ever. 10 times worse than @Sky10mbps which is saying something - 2 months in and haven’t got a clue what they are doing 🤬😡

  • scottcvrroll Scott Carroll (@scottcvrroll) reported from Liverpool, England

    @JacobAlderHam @virginmedia Shocking isn’t it mate, I’ve not been able to use streaming devices or gaming devices for a few weeks without constant spikes and buffering. I pay for 200 down and receive about 40... so much packet loss. Shambles.

  • helen_c_murphy Helen C Murphy (@helen_c_murphy) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia having issues with connectivity & slow speed. I'm working from home & this is causing me a LOT of stress. I still have targets. Hard to do when the internet is crawling & up & down like a yoyo. Been like this for 2 weeks. Diagnostics say no problem 😥😭

  • trev0rj0nes trevor jones (@trev0rj0nes) reported from Southport, England

    @virginmedia still no contact. Help me out here will you

  • zozzaballs Zoey (@zozzaballs) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @SophieMEdwards @virginmedia Ours was the same, someone came out and fitted a booster few weeks ago but even that sometimes goes off. But this week it’s been awful

  • KimmyLFC Kim Shelley (@KimmyLFC) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia is shit, all the channels have gone off and this is the second time we have got to reboot it, not happy 😡😡😡

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

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

    @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.

  • DeltaDeltaOBE Davies (@DeltaDeltaOBE) reported

    @virginmedia Yep … although according to your website there isn’t, and hasn’t been since 7 last night. And fix my broadband just loops constantly to that page.

  • GregorJClark Gregor Clark 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@GregorJClark) reported

    @virginmedia I have no service at all in KA11 area. Weirdly your website says it’s a planned outage. If planned, why didn’t you tell anyone? I’m working from home but could have gone into the office if I’d had some advance warning. Not good at all.

  • chris_oneill94 Chris O'Neill (@chris_oneill94) reported

    @virginmedia As I explained in live chats previous tweets and to the engineer it's an intermittent fault that happens. For instance right now the WiFi is fine. But it very regularly cuts out entirely as in that photo. I need a solution I can't have daily cuts. Not dips in speed, cuts.

  • stephstevens16 Steph Stevens (@stephstevens16) reported

    @virginmedia Here we go again. Internet down! 3rd time in 4 weeks. Can you please fix this on going issue.

  • naeemkofdy Naeem Kothdiwala (@naeemkofdy) reported

    @virginmedia can you please call me with regards to my installation I have been waiting since Friday! All your stupid international customer representatives have just lied all weekend!

  • SlowVALORANT Slow 🇵🇹 (@SlowVALORANT) reported

    @virginmedia No issues are showing on that website. It’s never there despite the area having problems.

  • nav_sl90 Nav (@nav_sl90) reported

    @virginmedia Yes it says my service is down. The same as last Wednesday. This doesn't help me with WFH! It has been down since the middle of the night!

  • MrmMark Mark Mann (@MrmMark) reported

    @virginmedia On the phone for 40 minutes and you callers dumped the call. My 80 year old mother with dementia has no phone connection. We need an engineer now, not customer service from the stone ages.

  • MrShellard Lee Shellard (@MrShellard) reported

    @virginmedia No internet on business line in LE6 area. Is this a known problem?
