    @virginmedia Tried to send you a WhatsApp message but got the following message back: "Thanks for choosing to Message us today. We don’t have availability to accept any more messages for faults at the current time." Why is getting help so difficult?

    @virginmedia what's the deal, my box hasn't worked for 2 days??? This is the 3rd technical problem lasting more than 2 days that I've had this year. This is ridiculous now

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

  • Andrea_Buffery
    Andrea Buffery (@Andrea_Buffery) reported from Bristol, England

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

  • RosemaryJaneFo1
    Rosemary Jane Fox (@RosemaryJaneFo1) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia #rude #badservice Had Virgin broadband installed just to discover a better deal on money supermarket. Contacted them to ask if they would honour it and was refused point blank, told not to complain, wouldn’t put me through to the boss and wouldn’t give her name.

  • gingermurkin
    Alexandra Powell (@gingermurkin) reported from Patchway, England

    @virginmedia Issue with virgin mobiles not accepting incoming calls, going straight to voicemail. Was told this would be resolved last night but still not working. Any resolution ETA??

  • RajnishRazdan
    Rajnish Razdan (@RajnishRazdan) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia it’s amazing isn’t it - you never pick up calls or cut me off so I go to your site to change my package as you’re charging me for things I don’t have and amazingly your live chat button doesn’t work either.

  • 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

  • vinnievoke
    vinnie voke (@vinnievoke) reported from Bristol, England

    @Virgin @virginmedia @virginhelp well it's now been 21 hours since I was passed over to the help desk for picture break up on all channels on TiVo box and I'm still waiting this is shocking

  • enzo_faulhaber
    Enzo Faulhaber (@enzo_faulhaber) reported from Yate, England

    @virginmedia running with some issue with some of your staff member. As they promise me to Install a broadband at my house but now ignore 🧐

  • tinabadley
    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'.

    🚑🌈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

  • lazy__goth
    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.

  • creativeskg
    Stuart Gallop (@creativeskg) reported from Bristol, England

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

    Saw a Sur rune drop but the internet suddenly cut out. @virginmedia does it again. #D2R

  • RedWoodyLFC
    DavidJWood (@RedWoodyLFC) reported from Bristol, England

    @SteTinsley @virginmedia Mind you its been up and down like a ****** draws all day Got very little work done

  • LetRIP
    Matt (@LetRIP) reported from Thornbury, England

    @virginmedia Yes. That isn’t the point though. Your website has no information about how to contact you. And your web chat takes 1 hour to do the task of reporting bad speeds. Your contact support needs vast improvement.

    @virginmedia Well I’m at work now but it was working then going off for a couple minutes then back on all day. Then about 9pm went off for 20 mins then back on. Went on your page to check the service and it was saying nothing was wrong.

  • gh0stmachinexo
    H ꙩlly 🌙 (@gh0stmachinexo) reported

    @virginmedia shocking service, I’ve tried to contact today as my broadband has been down since last night I’ve done all the steps and there is no way to book a service call. App says no issues then I do a test and it says intermittent issues please get this fixed !!!

  • AmyHeppi
    Amy Heppingstall (@AmyHeppi) reported

    @virginmedia absolutely terrible wifi this afternoon this is not the service I’m paying for !!! Really fed up of this

  • AlexisAdamsTTV
    Alexis “Cozy Bear” Lockhart (@AlexisAdamsTTV) reported

    My internet is down again. My modem is making buzzing noises @VirginMediaIE @virginmedia. So sorry, guys. I’ll be away from Twitter and YouTube for a while 🥺🥺🥺

  • rchcool
    It's mom not mum (@rchcool) reported

    @virginmedia @sabrevan Yes can you please explain the issue? Repeated occurrences means we can’t rely on the service until you confess the problem and whether it has actually been solved or if you’re just applying temporary fixes to avoid paying compensation to customers

  • ScouseRasta
    ScouseRasta (@ScouseRasta) reported

    @virginmedia 3 times in the last 2 days my broadband has been down for, around 5 hours this morning and again for the past hour! Get your **** together before I move to different provider along with a lot of other people. Don’t even offer any compensation for an outage, shocking!

  • osheaj77
    john o shea (@osheaj77) reported

    @VMSportIE Thats definitely the end my long time virgin media subscription, bill keeps going up even though there is way less tv channels and entertainment, garbage tv , bye bye 👋

  • MZ2346441534028
    M&M (@MZ2346441534028) reported

    @virginmedia my internet was down for almost a month (now restored), but I haven’t received any automatic compensation. Please look into this urgently so I don't need to involve ombudsman.

  • UKDan86
    Dan (@UKDan86) reported

    @loldiplo @virginmedia Every time you reply, it just further confirms that you truly are stupid. I don't talk to stupid people.

  • Tutts558
    Mike T (@Tutts558) reported

    @fia I can rewind my Virgin Media to show you Max breaking the rules. Why can't you ? It effects the result, and other teams responses to what you do. You clearly favour him. Terrible decision.
