    @virginmedia internet yesterday went from 12mbs (11am) to 30mbs (3pm). Today it’s 3mbs. How is this acceptable? No reported issues but our internet goes up and down constantly, sometimes goes off altogether

  • lamsom Dave Gracey (@lamsom) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the phone, I can travel to different areas and get 4 bars on my phone and it works no problem, the problem is in the area I live.The reception always used to be fine but for quite some time now it’s been awful, I currently have one bar.

  • reg14reg Nick Poynton (@reg14reg) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia it’s no excuse and with the gas works I can only presume they have gone through a network cable. But I have not seen one engineer or van anywhere near the main port/box for Virgin to try and fix this since 0900 today. The time has just been going back and back allday

  • reg14reg Nick Poynton (@reg14reg) reported from Bolton, England

    Well @virginmedia what a disgrace! Phone, internet and tv down from 0905 to current time and now saying next estimated time back up 2300!!! Two people working from home and loss of pay for both! And now no tv for #ENGvSCO match!

  • WainwrightDean Dean Wainwright (@WainwrightDean) reported from Accrington, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for fixing it this morning, I trust given I’d no service for circa 36hrs I’ll see a credit upon my next bill?

  • TazAliPreston Taz Ali (@TazAliPreston) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia can someone please message me. I have been struggling to get hold of someone to resolve a home telephone number. I have been promised call backs to resolve this long overdue complaint. But still waiting to speak to someone! #CustomerExperience

  • LeylandDavid David Gardner (@LeylandDavid) reported from Leyland, England

    @virginmedia How many more times, the landline is NOT working (no dial tone).

  • LeylandDavid David Gardner (@LeylandDavid) reported from Leyland, England

    @virginmedia Reported the problem yesterday after your response. Should have been fixed by 10am today apparently, but still nothing.

  • lamsom Dave Gracey (@lamsom) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia Your mobile network is crap & your customer service is just as bad.

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

    @virginmedia hi my tivo remote is broken trying to order new online and an error message comes up. Can't get through on the phone Help

  • Elle83 Michelle E (@Elle83) reported from Walton le Dale, England

    @virginmedia why does my super hub 3 keep resetting my WiFi password. I’m having to change it through settings every other day because it keeps defaulting back to the security key, this is causing major issues

  • StephenMonk1970 The Monk (@StephenMonk1970) reported from Preston, England

    Virgin Mobile. Utterly useless. All I want is to send a text and call people. My bill isn't due until 8th May. There is no online help. Really cheesed off. #virginmobile #virginmedia #virginbilling

  • StephenMonk1970 The Monk (@StephenMonk1970) reported from Preston, England

    Help @virginmedia. Once again I'm left unable to ring my doctors because you attempted the direct debit early and it failed. My Oomph sim will now not work until I make a payment. Please that's all I want to do. Do I need to go to Ofcom or the Ombudsman. This seriously effects me

  • j_dip Jai Mistry (@j_dip) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia currently have had no broadband for the last 3 hours, I am aware the service is down in the area but do you have any indication as to when this will be resolved?

  • boardchik Katy Molyneux (@boardchik) reported from Standish, England

    @virginmedia I need a wifi booster for my house, when am I able to get one? Says you’re not taking registrations anymore! The signal in my study is not the best and I need it to work from home

  • LeylandDavid David Gardner (@LeylandDavid) reported from Leyland, England

    @virginmedia No updated fix time, as it shows all services as green, and can't detect a problem. It asks us to phone you on 151 to do a little more "digging", but the phone line is DOWN. Oh, and the chatbot doesn't deal with landline issues apparently. Now what???

  • LeylandDavid David Gardner (@LeylandDavid) reported from Leyland, England

    @virginmedia My landline phone has been down all afternoon in PR25 1UJ. Have any others complained about this issue, and if you're aware of the issue, do you have an estimated time for repair. Thanks in advance.

  • Di4nn3 Dianne Marchant (@Di4nn3) reported

    @virginmedia I have done that. I have spoken to the so called 'technical team' and they didn't even know about the issue or what I was talking about! Even though you play an automated message about complex on going issues. Nothing makes a difference.

  • j_o_d_i_e_ugh jodie (@j_o_d_i_e_ugh) reported

    When is the “area issue” gunna be solved? Been like it for ages. @virginmedia

    @virginmedia any updates on South West London outage. Now even your website isn't working. Out for over 24hrs now and counting

  • Di4nn3 Dianne Marchant (@Di4nn3) reported

    @virginmedia @SteveMo85793304 I have never received any notifications about issues, upgrades, etc. So to state you 'normally' do that is an out right lie!

  • Francesca090900 Francesca0909 (@Francesca090900) reported

    @TonyMaudsley1 @virginmedia Better using their chat service so much quicker x

  • mohawkal OnYourMarxGetSetGo! (@mohawkal) reported

    I'm paying @virginmedia a bunch of cash every month to provide a terrible and unreliable service. Their website doesn't work so I can't even get tech support. Can't wait to cancel.

  • Ang272 Ang (@Ang272) reported

  • hayleyed74 Hayley Edwards (@hayleyed74) reported

  • beasknees81 Donna B (@beasknees81) reported
