    @virginmedia Yep that’s funny. Really is. Do you not think I’ve not tried ringing you & only can do so on my mobile as no landline remember, on hold up to 40 mins+ & then cut off. You try it. It’s impossible to speak to a real person. WORST SERVICE EVER👎🏻

    Come on @virginmedia We can’t work without a broadband connection and can’t even watch TV instead because that’s not working either. A problem all day that we were promised would be fixed by 4pm (DA7)

  • HerRoyalDykness Part of the Rebel Alliance and a Traitor (@HerRoyalDykness) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia all services down AGAIN the quality of service from Virgin lately has been shocking multiple outages of tv/broadband. Not entirely sure what I'm paying for when I can't use it.

  • jamesrfyoung James Young (@jamesrfyoung) reported from Wickford, England

    @virginmedia your internet has been rubbish recently with varying speeds as low as 5mb 1 minute then 95mb the next! Now it’s gone down completely! On top of not being able to speak with anyone I don’t feel that your service is worth it! #rubbishservice

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • jimmybryce Jimmy Bryce (@jimmybryce) reported

    @virginmedia Over an hour and a half of my evening tonight on the phone to Virgin, passed from person to person, and still no resolution. Truly, absolutely, unequivocally appalling customer service. 2/3

  • rowlandrat David Rowlands (@rowlandrat) reported

    @virginmedia I have checked the page a few times and it says there's an issue in the area but to have it go off so many times surely it isn't getting fixed properly which I would be looking at what the engineers are actually doing!!

  • Ian66232919 corby (@Ian66232919) reported

    @virginmedia I haven’t spoken to anybody about it tbh because bar switch me back to another network I don’t see what you can do. Are you willing to do that ?

  • NXNStreams NXN Gaming (@NXNStreams) reported

    @FuzzyPixels @virginmedia yeah... can imagine today is pretty much the worst day for it!

  • NEBERKENEZA Aaron Morgan (@NEBERKENEZA) reported

    @virginmedia Do you seriously think in the span of 10 years if there was a problem I could fix I would’ve ******* fixed it

  • ItsJontis Jontis (@ItsJontis) reported

    @FuzzyPixels @virginmedia Now mines gone down... Virgin Media has no respect for Dead Island 2. Smh.

  • JamesPenn81 James Penn (@JamesPenn81) reported

    @virginmedia I stupidly never read my contract properly. I ordered the 1GB service but was given 350MB. I never noticed this until I checked my account today. I am paying the price of the 1 GB service. The package I have doesn’t exist online.

  • j3adj J3 (@j3adj) reported

    @virginmedia @Ofcom I need your assistance in relation to @virginmedia and their customer service practise and their inability to help a customer who’s been charged a service that they are no longer using but are happy to charge me despite informing them months ago I no longer live there

  • ashcocoa13 ashley.reeves (@ashcocoa13) reported

    @virginmedia trying to get our broadband issues resolved, get told the same thing for 25 minutes even though that's not the problem, then @virginmedia put the phone down on me!

  • TruthTalkingMav Truth Talking Maverick (@TruthTalkingMav) reported

    Hi @virginmedia it appears the entire interweb has gone down in the Leeds area again tonight. Do you know when this outage will be fixed up? Thanks Mav.
