    @virginmedia No but I have now dealt with it via your customer services and asked to remove my mam from virgin sales list. Thanks

  • body_mindfitco Paul Edgar (@body_mindfitco) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @virginmedia 6 days now without home Internet, landline and TV. No apology, no explanation from Virgin. Parents who rely on these communication lines. Terrible service.

    @virginmedia We have two VM boxes for collection as we have already left your network. Can you please arrange for someone to disconnect and collect them? Thanks in anticipation.

  • stephwales_ Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia are you going to respond or do you just pick and chose? This is disgusting service. Over 70 quid a month for half a service!!!!!! Cancellation in Feb when my contract Is due at this rate.

  • Kai35850650 Dougy Giro (@Kai35850650) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia is there a service outage in the SR2 area of Sunderland? My service is usually great, but it’s down currently for me

  • evilwallpaper arc (@evilwallpaper) reported from Newburn, England

    Had to break out the DVDs like a peasant because virgin media is down.

  • piggypics Les Pigg (@piggypics) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia So we are not just going to write it off as a bad job. Plus my mam finds it hard to understand the persons at the other end of the phone and why they ask for her bank details all we asked was to post out her password for her mobile account.

  • jessopshel Shelley Jessop (@jessopshel) reported

    @virginmedia Are there issues with broadband this morning? Even your website isn't working well and I can't run a test. Have re-booted twice.

  • Suze_Handley Sue Handley (@Suze_Handley) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, I have no internet, I can’t check my status on your website as that’s not working either “server stopped responding” and your phone lines are experiencing telephonic difficulties. No text message to say there’s an outage. Update would be great please.

  • J35P1N J35P1N (@J35P1N) reported

    Come on now @virginmedia , the internet has been down since 1am this morning when I went to bed and it's still down. You've had 7 hours to fix this. Hope you are going to reimburse people on their contracts. Unacceptable service. #virginmedia

  • nibsuk Nibs (@nibsuk) reported

  • ToonFleet Toon Fleet (@ToonFleet) reported

  • LongCovidHell Dame Sa 🐝 3.5% (@LongCovidHell) reported

    Why is @virginmedia silent on the about the widespread outages?? Website down and nothing about it on social media. These things happen, but it’s how you handle them. We need updates! People need internet for work, education and so many other things. #VirginMediaoutage

  • woodsandhills Señor Flard (@woodsandhills) reported

    @virginmedia haven't been able to access my #WiFi for some hours now. Wife has her online yoga class now and can't deliver it. Many unhappy clients and an hour of earnings lost - thanks for that. Not a level of service I expect from Virgin broadband after price hikes.

  • therealdaverich Dave Richardson (@therealdaverich) reported

    @virginmedia hike up the prices to “improve” infrastructure, then refuse to acknowledge there’s a nationwide problem. Been with you for years, more expensive than most, your customer service this time round has underlined your contempt for customers. Will look to leave. #virgin

  • NotSoP3ng P£NGY (@NotSoP3ng) reported

    So Virgin Media was down no net nothing but as soon as the phone lines opened at 8am suddenly the net and everything comes back on and everything is connected again did someone just turn everyone’s **** off last night for a laugh @virginmedia 🤔
