    @virginmedia I'm not sure what you mean, I literally have no signal or mobile data, hundreds of people are in the same position. And others with EE and Three are also down in this area but no one knows why...

    Hi @virginmedia I want to cancel my account. Still waiting to speak to someone after > 1 hour. Advice please?

  • garethbalmer
    Gareth Balmer (@garethbalmer) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia All good now - there were some power issues in another part of Gloucester that seemed to be causing the V6 box at our house and a few friends to restart. Very odd

    @virginmedia I been with virgin for years and last month was put on the new virgin O2 SIM deal. I'm already looking forward to when I can cancel the O2 SIM only part. Couldn't get any help with O2 but luckily the person at virgin helped me.

    @virginmedia is there an outage problem in BS8 (Bristol)? We’ve lost the internet and TV connection.

  • AndyMWilcox
    Andy Wilcox (@AndyMWilcox) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia My broadband keeps disconnecting. This is my 4th time contacting and it gets worse each time you apparently fix something. Please can you fix it. I cannot work at home and I’ve just been booted out of your online chat to resolve the problem!

  • AngelMel2017
    AngelMelSelector (@AngelMel2017) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia I'm disappointed with the service I have received. Finally ended my contract, claimed my credit refund only for it still not arrive 6weeks later. Called call centre & was told I'd have to wait 2/3 more weeks. Why? Its unacceptable to have to wait so long. #complaint

  • gman7634
    graham monks (@gman7634) reported from Patchway, England

    @virginmedia It's fixed now and it was a problem in the box down the road, almost 24hrs to fix it is a bit of a joke thou 🙄🙄

  • AngelMel2017
    AngelMelSelector (@AngelMel2017) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Thank you for your reply. He told me that the cheque had not been activated when I first called 5th June. I was told it would be sent out via check. He told me today it would take a further 2/3 weeks. Sadly was no help at all. 😒😥

    Looks like @virginmedia is down across the UK. The outage is so big it’s crashed their website.

    @virginmedia Your TV and internet services in BS8 Bristol are still down! When is this being resolved!? #VirginMediaoutage

    Matthew Turner (@MTurnerNFL) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Hi there, the engineer came round but it hasn't fixed the issues. It's dropped 4 times now in the last hour, despite me doing a full reset. It's completely unusable. Please help!!

  • gillih
    Gill Harrison (@gillih) reported from Portishead and North Weston, England

    @virginmedia @virginhelp Yes. Have done this and spoken with your ‘fault management service’ who cut me off when I was explaining the problem.

  • neilcairns
    Neil Cairns (@neilcairns) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia @EGX virginmedia where can I email to complain? My VirginMedia Box won’t let me delete a number of things and my Internet is patchy at best! £83 a month for this ****? Every time you call you people you’re on hold or cut off!

  • _dreamer_
    Pilar Gómez (@_dreamer_) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Actually, the new owners are porting their virgin contract here, if the contract is per property, and it will be Virgin providing the service, that would mean we DON'T have to pay the fee right?

  • 1Joshwa
    🚑🌈Josh 🇪🇺👨‍⚕️ (@1Joshwa) reported from Bristol, England

    So why is it impossible to speak to a real person at @virginmedia ? Live chat is down, phone leads to a system test then hangs up. I just want to speak to someone 😩 #virginmedia

  • KieranTrvlr
    Kieran Traveller 🛫 🏰🚢 (@KieranTrvlr) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia I have, and I get an automated service that hangs up on me after sending a text. I just want to order wifipods. I’ve tested the speed in the app, but it’s not allowing me to do anything. Chat doesn’t work, and calling won’t let me speak to anyone.

  • chrisorman
    Chris Orman (@chrisorman) reported from Bradley Stoke, England

    Just spoken to @virginmedia customer services about red light on my hub. They GUARANTEED that the light will revert to white in the next 24 hours. Wonder what happen if their guarantee fails?

  • Hekler21

    @virginmedia hardly a great start as new customer!! Moving house and ordered a new box for moving day, but now won’t be delivered there for over 2 weeks!! #shambles

  • chris_knibb
    Christopher Knibb (@chris_knibb) reported

    Could @virginmedia be the worst company to get in touch with? Trying to cancel my contract. Website isn’t working, chat facility is glitching and after two hours no one has answered the phone. Gone slightly crazy listening to the same jazz song over and over again!
