    @virginmedia are you having a national outage of tv and broadband? CF62 area and have neither at the moment

  • honeys_ Claire Louise (@honeys_) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia my Wi-Fi has just gone off and within seconds your app is telling me there is a fault and the estimated fix is 3pm. Something tells me this is a planned outage. Why are you not communicating with customers who are relying on your service to work at home.

  • TweetterRoss Ross Maisey (@TweetterRoss) reported from Church Village, Wales

    @virginmedia What a ridiculous company. You install Virgin in my street ruining all the pavements and drives. But also damage my car I was told it would be sorted a month ago and I’m still waiting. I’m livid and want it sorted!!

    @virginmedia Having issues with my internet. Looks like some work has been carried out in NR6 area and was asked to restart the router - did and still internet is dropping in between and not getting signal in rooms

  • g_fielding Gillian Fielding (@g_fielding) reported

    @virginmedia Service Status says there’s no issues in my area. I’ve rebooted my laptop, followed all the instructions on the web page. Still having major challenges especially with Teams meetings. Please can you double check. #embarrassing

  • abdullahm3211 Abdullah (@abdullahm3211) reported

    @virginmedia Nope no update sure this happened last time too? Well at least I have evidence this time. When I cancel don’t tell me you need your equipment back because I did try.

  • WhatAboutHannah 🐝 (@WhatAboutHannah) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, 60 second reset has not solved the issue

  • CEdvardz The Edvardz (@CEdvardz) reported

    @virginmedia They can’t help hence why I’m supposed to be getting a call back. Apparently no one can arrange a call back. They promise but it never happens.

  • Champs707007 Stephen Champion (@Champs707007) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @virginmedia It’s been erratic all day on both connections and your service check says no issues identified. One minute it’s doing 40-60mbps then it’s just plain dead but shows a connection

  • elcrutchboi el crip man 🇻🇮 (@elcrutchboi) reported

    @MENnewsdesk Virgin Media better not be, as if my internet hasn’t been **** enough for the past like month

  • Ciaran92815413 Ciaran (@Ciaran92815413) reported

    @JimAllister Only in certain areas same with virgin media and if your home broadband goes down due to lineage problems you’re bottom of the list as by owns all the lines

  • anniebonne Annie Warburton (she/her) (@anniebonne) reported

    @virginmedia And several of your help options are circular e.g. call, go through options, texted a web link, web link says you have to call. It is like circles of hell. Shocking customer service @virginmedia compared to competitors e.g. @VodafoneGroup (I've been a Virgin customer for 20 yrs)

  • lou2sing Louise Herrington (@lou2sing) reported

    @virginmedia 2/2 and then get the unavailable noise as though the number never existed. The suggestion was made today to change the hub, but then I have to pay 2 hrs of contract IT time to re-set up the office and all system connections. Not an option (unless virgin pays for it) !
