  • 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 🤬😡

  • bluebadgeguide Paul Beesley (@bluebadgeguide) reported from Garston, England

    @virginmedia I called at 1541 today to report that my parents landline was not working. I made it clear that they are very elderly and need the landline in emergencies. I left my mobile number and asked for a callback to check progress 1/2

  • 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 😥😭

  • 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 😂

  • Sheryl83 Sheryl (@Sheryl83) reported from Ellesmere Port, England

    @virginmedia trying to set up a #dementia phone at my grandads and it won't work. Think it could be to do with line as it works from my house. Always says number not recognised, please help!

  • ste19410949 ste donnelly (@ste19410949) reported from Widnes, England

    @virginmedia got to be worst internet service going time to get rid I think 💩💩💩

  • 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.

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

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

  • mrwilkinson1979 Alan Wilkinson (@mrwilkinson1979) reported from Widnes, England

    @virginmedia yet again I’m let down... WiFi gone while watching a film! But hey, you can’t be arsed answering customers issues!

  • the_eporter Tim Lyth (@the_eporter) reported from Ellesmere Port, England

    @virginmedia having issues with broadband. Hope it gets fixed soon.

  • 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

  • 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

  • ste19410949 ste donnelly (@ste19410949) reported from Widnes, England

    @virginmedia got to be worst service around all down again time to cancel I think

  • 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

  • renzair Renzair (@renzair) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia If your internet service to St. Helens could be anything other than complete dogshit for more than five minutes that’d be swell. Since 7:30 this morning, constant outages of internet service. STILL happening at 16:00. Thanks (for nothing). Again.

  • 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 !

  • 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.

  • mrwilkinson1979 Alan Wilkinson (@mrwilkinson1979) reported from Widnes, England

    @virginmedia 2half hours waiting for a reply in text service! Can someone take ownership please!

  • pears0 gonzo (@pears0) reported

    @virginmedia Internet at my house is flaky again (was yesterday until about 2 as well) and you make it impossible to make an actual service level report. You think all faults are with the WiFi!?

  • shanesilvester Shane Silvester (@shanesilvester) reported

    @virginmedia It’s nothing to do with the area as that was the 1st thing we checked, I woke up this morning and the issue still remains it’s a disgrace to be honest

  • pears0 gonzo (@pears0) reported

    @virginmedia Its not showing one at present, but did show an issue yesterday, which is why I didn't try and contact anyone yesterday!

  • Mark05978396 mark (@Mark05978396) reported

    @virginmedia why is the WiFi down in the NE31 area and when will it be back up

  • pears0 gonzo (@pears0) reported

    @virginmedia I already carried out these. When my connection was down it detected an issue, but now it's back up its not. The link between the router and the cable network is randomly dropping out, it then takes about 10-15 mins to reconnect (restarts aren't helping).

  • frobiu5 The Cyber Sausage (@frobiu5) reported

    @virginmedia Not sure what a manual search will achieve - can’t use other networks. I did try EE to see if I could revert, but no joy. Looking at your forums, this is a widespread issue. What are the rules regarding leaving while in contract given the problem is due to your network change?

  • rob_jewitt ЯoЬ J૯ωɿէէ (@rob_jewitt) reported

    Dammit. My #virginmedia is down in the NE34 area. Anyone else with issues?

  • VMistry86 Vinay Mistry (@VMistry86) reported

    @virginmedia Tried that already and it was just an automated message requesting me to unplug restart and this should fix the problem.

  • LivelyLot Sky Black (@LivelyLot) reported

    @virginmedia hi, is there an issue in Belfast BT14 area? Haven't been able to get online since about 11pm last night and it was running intermittently for a few hours before that.

  • simonscott1975 I am Text Aviary's hesitant hope. (@simonscott1975) reported

    @virginmedia Are there problems with your fibre network in the north London area? Getting half the upload speed I'm supposed to.
