    @virginmedia There isn’t an outage. I have been told it may be a line fault but the hub was fine yesterday afternoon

  • lee0510
    Lee Smith (@lee0510) reported from Ilkeston, England

    @virginmedia I cannot contact you by phone, your site will not allow me to sign in as my email is not available, clearly it wasn’t deleted from previous account so I can not see internet status or report faults. My Wi-Fi is intermittent, not working as I type reply.

    @virginmedia I’m not happy at all. My internet has been down since last night till now . I have tried to call customer service and it would straight decline it . I tried going on the website but still it won’t let me . As I work from home . Here is the area DE248ET

    @virginmedia any chance you could hire call centre staff that don’t hang up the phone after 3 seconds in an attempt to bring their AHT down?

    @virginmedia please sort out your appalling broadband service in the derby area. More time down than up @Ofcom you ought to mandate refunds

    richard taylor (@richardtaylor37) reported from Stapleford, England

    @virginmedia Hi, we are having issues connecting to the wifi throughout the house. The room the hub is in is good but the rest of the house is very poor, we have our children complaining that their games consoles won’t connect or buffering and glitching and it’s costing us a fortune.

    @virginmedia What would be really good is if you send out a message to your customers telling them there is an issue rather than leaving it to them to find out that they cannot use your services.

    @bagwaa @virginmedia Yours down? They were upgrading my street the other day and it was down for a couple of hours

  • horseracingmama
    whatsitallabout!! (@horseracingmama) reported from Burton upon Trent, England

    @virginmedia can’t wait till they read the feedback on the email survey they asked me to do they scored a massive 0 from me and no I would not recommend them and will never go back to them either!!

  • charlie_bethel
    Charlie Bethel (@charlie_bethel) reported from Beeston, England

    @virginmedia Hi. Nobody has phoned or sent a text to my parents and there phone internet and tv is still not working. They have to keep topping up there mobile credit and nobody answers there calls

  • JadeLewis92

    @virginmedia I need to cancel my services but I can't get through on the phone or on the website. How am I supposed to cancel?!

  • IPSiara
    Ian Siara (@IPSiara) reported from Beeston, England

    @virginmedia can you explain how your customer services line was working up until the point I told you I wanted to leave, and since then you've cut me off 3 times in a row?

  • acmtix
    𝘼𝙙𝙖𝙢🐰 (@acmtix) reported from Eastwood, England

    @virginmedia The loss of service registration doesn't even work!

  • k28ykaty
    Katy Oliver (@k28ykaty) reported from Sandiacre, England

    @virginmedia Except if your me.. I’ve continually been supplied with a poor excuse for broadband.. I was promised a booster for my signal yet weeks later I’ve still not received it.. your not keeping up your side of this contract.. will not renew my contract when this is over!

  • breadf2man
    Fazal Rehman (@breadf2man) reported from Loughborough, England

    @virginmedia Nothing that springs to mine, but ive never known it to constantly drop off, some of the reasons the operators are giving me are silly and I told the lady it was rubbish.. im sorry but I am fed up of ringing every day and getting nowhere. I think i will have to move broadband

  • GodberKen
    Ken Godber (@GodberKen) reported from Annesley, England

    @virginmedia You couldn't make this incompetence up - had another call, chasing 2 mths costs for a phone not used in over 2 yrs, unable to cancel via website or previous Twitter conversation, and then cuts me off. It's a mthly sim only, if I don't use it don't charge me - simples.

  • haasty_kawa
    haasty kawa (@haasty_kawa) reported from Derby, England

    @virginmedia I'm not at all satisfied. Since last night until now, my internet has been down. When I attempted to contact customer service, it flatly refused. I attempted to access the page, but it is still blocking me. I am self-employed. The region DE248ET is shown here. Fix it asap

  • antbates1991
    Anthony Bates (@antbates1991) reported from Burton upon Trent, England

    New tactics from Virgin Media, ring up to cancel, they say they can't find your account and then put the phone down. 🖕🖕

    When you have a smart house and your @virginmedia #Wifi goes down so nothing is working 😳 now the kids are moaning at no tablets, @PlayStation or @xboxuk there is only so many times I can reboot the hub...... #internetdown

    Stephen (@StephenKFrost1) reported from Eastwood, England

    @virginmedia work done on our internet network has left us with weak security at the same time this was happening I had a new update on my Apple iPhone. Not ver happy with situation.

  • Why__OMG__Why
    G HUNTer (@Why__OMG__Why) reported

    @DowndetectorUK found alternative ways of watching ITV1. get a clearer constant picture than Virgin Media. Several sources at zero cost. With the constant problems and ever increasing costs, I don't mind if I get interrupted tv at such an enormous discount.

  • Bella_Ciao_Free
    Bella Ciao (@Bella_Ciao_Free) reported

    @virginmedia Im in NG17 all my channels have returned after yesterday's issues but ITV1HD hasn't... Ironically ITV1+1 works but no actual ITV1.

  • cuddy271
    Michael Cuddington (@cuddy271) reported

    All we are getting on our tv is a scrambled picture @virginmedia are no longer the people you can rely on, they have become far too expensive , their customer service is non exsistent and people are going elsewhere.

  • NicolaThrussell
    Nicola Thrussell (@NicolaThrussell) reported

    @virginmedia EN6 (Potters Bar, Hertfordshire) area completely down with no internet but app says no issues. Please can you look into this to and get it resolved.

  • MarttechSol
    Marttech Solutions (@MarttechSol) reported

    Virgin Media now have an ETA of 11:05am today to get these issues fixed. The Service Status tool now appears to be working for the vast majority of people.

  • john1mccarthy
    John M (@john1mccarthy) reported

    @virginmedia yet again I've been let down by you. But I am not surprised. My fault is finally fixed after 43 days without service. Yesterday, I was told I couldn't be put through to the correct team but they would call me back within 24hours. That was 25 hours ago now. 🙄

    Michael Portal (@Mortalportal01) reported

    @MartinSLewis Hi Martin. Are you aware of the scam between Virgin Media and 02? They hound you with calls, set you up as an existing VM customer, and then unknown to you, you have an 02 threatning letter asking for £30 a month. This was not agreed to or even known...help 🙏

  • Nasher6328
    Mr Nash (@Nasher6328) reported

    @virginmedia As you wasn't supplying a service for hours are you giving us compensation or are we allowed to leave free of charge?;
