    @virginmedia Hi, I'm tweeting from the device I'm having connectivity and signal issues with, I've looked on the website and it's not stating if you're having network issues or not.

  • sean_wilson87 Sean Wilson (@sean_wilson87) reported from South Shore, England

    Once again @virginmedia your internet connection drops as soon as we get bad weather. Lost count of the amount of times this has happened, and with the amount of money I pay you nothing happens to stop this happening again. Shocking service. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

  • ylilxanoi 🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported from Wigan, England

    @Virgin @virginmedia #virginmediadown #VirginMedia Imagine paying £52 a month for Internet to be down for 5 days. We work from home. I've used all my 4g, had to buy more to do my job yet when you call up they say it'll be fixed by.. and keeps being postponeded. Fix it Virgin.

  • Adzcantsing Adz can't sing (@Adzcantsing) reported from Penwortham, England

    @virginmedia useless we are trying to cancel and for past 2 weeks now since we have moved home. We have been pushed from pillar to post, been laughed at by customer service. Since we moved we have we've been promised someone will come and sort it.

  • ylilxanoi 🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Yeah.. apparently its down in WN1 but nobody is telling me what's wrong or how long it will take. I need Internet to work.

  • Glynpeach Glyn Peach (@Glynpeach) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia worst customer support service I’ve ever experienced

  • sean_wilson87 Sean Wilson (@sean_wilson87) reported from South Shore, England

    Once again @virginmedia internet down as soon as we get rain in our area. I need to keep a tally chart with how many times this has happened. Complete and utter shambles

  • ylilxanoi 🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported from Wigan, England

    @Virgin #virginmediadown Virgin media is an absolute bag of ****, pass it on

  • ms_sasmassey sarah (@ms_sasmassey) reported from Preston, England

    Hi @virginmedia I've been having TV issues for a few days today is really bad missing channels - error code W02, and intermittent pictures on others

  • LawAspi TheAspiLawStudent #NoReturns (@LawAspi) reported from Chorley, England

    @nerdscav @the_hinchy @virginmedia Yes because a WiFi extender will fix the issue when it's the incoming line and not the hardware 😳. The routers gives a 3ping and 1GBps connection. The issue is virgin's crappy network 👍

  • ylilxanoi 🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported from Wigan, England

    @Virgin @virginmedia I've had no Internet now for 14 days and my bill is due in 2 days. This is disgusting service, your call centre staff are useless, your engineers are useless, this is appalling for £52 a month. Sort the problem out now.

  • LIVEINBLACKPOOL Peter Ian Mowbray RODP💙 (@LIVEINBLACKPOOL) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia It’s been a tricky few days as I have been trying to run my media company. I phoned Virgin Media business both times was told it’s an outage. It seems to be working better than ever now, but hoping no more disruptions. Thank you for making contact with me

  • SourEnvy Elliot ⚽️🏈🎮 (@SourEnvy) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia Afternoon, I have an iPad with a Virgin SIM card that I no longer use. Obviously still need to pay off the monthly device fee but am I able to cancel the SIM plan?

  • ylilxanoi 🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia We have. Multiple times. Your agents don't know how to help. Spoke to 3 different people. I'm getting contant update emails. I don't need to check the service. I know its down. This is beyond ridiculous. I work from home, I can't do my job because of your terrible service.

  • LIVEINBLACKPOOL Peter Ian Mowbray RODP💙 (@LIVEINBLACKPOOL) reported from Blackpool, England

    @AntStephen @VirginMediaCorp @virginmedia Thank you 🙏 but I am stuffed hoping they fix it soon

  • ylilxanoi 🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Internet is down in our area since Monday. I keep getting multiple emails saying it'll be fixed by 12pm tomorrow, then 4pm Wednesday 12pm Thursday, 12pm Friday and now 4pm Friday. None of your call centre staff can help us we've spent hours on hold this week.

  • aptyson1960 Alan Tyson (@aptyson1960) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia I did and they couldn’t do anything. I’m very disappointed that not even going just broadband could reduce anywhere near new customers. My car insurance has to match new customer deals. You should do the same.

  • docherty53 Andy 'life is short' Docherty (@docherty53) reported from South Shore, England

    Morning @virginmedia I know it's not your fault but communication is impossible so I have turned to Twitter for help. Have you any idea when @YodelOnline will get their act together as we have been wasting days off waiting for important packages from you?

  • ylilxanoi 🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia my interest been down for a whole week. Call centre staff don't know what to say. An engineer has been on site every single day apparently. Can someone fix my internet. I pay £52 a month this is beyond a joke. I've used all my 4g& bought a ****** dongle just to WFH

  • Joe95976011 Joe (@Joe95976011) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia worst customer service ever

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • stealthness Stealthness (@stealthness) reported

    @virginmedia Yes and No, very inconsistent. The general check for NW1 says no issue, but when checking using my account details, it says there is an issue, and it is complex. This has been going on for the last month.

  • how_vintage Jane Lane (@how_vintage) reported

    @virginmedia Estimated fix time is 19:20. This is so ridiculous, ever since I re-signed with you, your internet has been appalling. It wasn't like this before. Truly wish I signed up with Vodafone. I work from home so how is this supposed to work?

  • joanna_starz07 Joanna (@joanna_starz07) reported

    @BallsAndBraces @beverleyturner @virginmedia Mine's gone up £9 to £65+ all I have is broadband and a landline with 'Talk Weekends'. Been a customer for about 26 years, now considering moving to another company.

  • YxhyaLFC Yahya (@YxhyaLFC) reported

    @virginmedia Hi there I’m not happy with the speeds I’m promised and would like a free booster as the internet goes down so often. How could we discuss this further?

  • DegsyScott Degsy (@DegsyScott) reported

    @virginmedia All@l the website says is 2 known issues.. no repair time estimate

  • JLFlagg John Flagg (@JLFlagg) reported

    @virginmedia what a disgraceful company. Monthly bills rising considerably and changing T&C's to prevent being able to cancel with your yearly 'RPI +3.9%' increases from next year. Wonder how many will be sticking with you? I won't be.

  • kak03378 Kak0337 (@kak03378) reported

    Wtf @virginmedia @VMSolutions_ #virginmedia #virginmobile ?! Price hike by over 17%?! Right… cos average wages have gone up by 17% haven’t they. #sarcasm Isn’t it more a case of “everyone else is putting prices up, so let’s cash in”? I’ll be switching

  • visionblurr vision (@visionblurr) reported

    @virginmedia It’s still giving me problems, I keep getting packet loss when I watch live streams on twitch or play games.

  • DrLoomis_innit Loomis #VoteAnyoneButLibLabConGreen (@DrLoomis_innit) reported

    @virginmedia @beverleyturner When i had @virginmedia and 💩 Internet speeds I'd ring them up for lolz Once I was told it must be my fishtank causing the issues, not that I had one, then another time it was a wet dog (didn't have a dog) Absolute dog💩 of a provider The tech team are clueless to be polite

  • FedUpandBack Fed Up, and Back... (@FedUpandBack) reported

    @beverleyturner @virginmedia Just had exactly the same from Sky, £9 price hike. They can **** right off!!!
