Derby Pascal (@derbypascal) reported from Bristol, England@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...
-
Sam&Snooper (@SamAndSnooper) reported from Bristol, EnglandLooks like @virginmedia is down across the UK. The outage is so big it’s crashed their website.
-
Matthew Turner (@MTurnerNFL) reported from Bristol, England@virginmedia Hi again guys. Exactly the same experience. They can't help me because by the time I've waited on hold, and weve discussed the problem again (for the 20th time or so), the problem has resolved. It's still happening 4 times an evening and it needs fixing. Please help.

Amz (@amy_noony) reported from Bristol, EnglandVirgin media make me 🤬 Been with them for 6yrs (no other option in our flats), paid their extortionate prices & received pretty poor intermittent service. Moving house & they don’t supply our new area 🥳 but they would like to charge a cancellation fee of £30.38

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 🙄🙄

Shitsgigglesngloves (@Shitsgigglesng1) reported from Kingswood, England@Birdybabe07 @virginmedia Bt, great deals atm. Once back on openreach network you can move around with over 50 companies. Once on virgin you can only use virgin. bt will happily re instal to get you back on openreach network. Unless you need business fibre...then I can provide or advise👍.

Jacob (@j_bettany) reported from Clevedon, EnglandSo many scammers calling from '@VirginMedia Technical Support' at the moment. 5 in 24 hours. I've taken to suggesting they might think about getting a different job but heartbreaking to get the response, 'can you give me one?' It's basically #organisedcrime built on #poverty
-
Tiffany (@lazy__goth) reported from Bristol, England@virginmedia No, it doesn’t, and the internet goes down again within hours, usually in the evening when I presume there’s high usage. We’re in a loop - report issue, told issue is resolved, issue happens again.
-
Al (@algro10) reported from Clevedon, England@10sam_h Yeah likewise, virgin media awful still not sorted it
-
Alex (@0JTheJuice) reported from Bristol, England@virginmedia Hey BG, so in total it disconnected 7 times from 7pm yesterday. The lights started flashing Green, after multiple resets it continued to disconnect throughout the evening. Really disappointed. Not the first time I’ve had issues with virgin’s internet.
-
Beth Ryan (@bethkorf) reported from Kingswood, England@virginmedia Its done now but fairly sure it shouldn't take your agents 45 mins to cancel sky and bt sports and change the TV package to the basic. Maybe more training or better systems are needed. Just saying Sky took about 3 minutes to cancel BT sports for me a year or so ago #competitors

Rajnish Razdan (@RajnishRazdan) reported from Bristol, England@virginmedia If you’ve got something positive to contribute DM me, like getting someone to call me. Why would I remember the details of 2 hours that I will never get back

Der Shru (@DerShru) reported from Bristol, EnglandSaw a Sur rune drop but the internet suddenly cut out. @virginmedia does it again. #D2R
-
Acuharmony-UK (@AcuharmonyUK) reported from Clevedon, England@virginmedia No reported issues. Tried the fixes before, and so did virgin chat. Not just my handset, other people are having the same problem. Am I going to have to change networks, is that what you're saying? Due to the change to O2?
-

Tina Badley (@tinabadley) reported from Bristol, England@virginmedia Same as about a month ago. Said I need to enter password. But doesn't work. Have tried resetting password. Still no good. Webmail says can't access my emails right now. And when I go to the sign in page it has my name as 'Jackie' top right though the main page says 'Hi Tina'.
