  • RNeacsu Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia And yes I called to your outage number, apparently there is no known issue in the area. Even though last night at 11.30pm in the app the status check showed every service is down, even though they weren't down last night. This happens only during working hours.

  • nenevall derrick mulvana (@nenevall) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia @OfficialRandL reading festival, the virgin media mobile network is on its knees with no internet connection across most of the site.. sort it out.

  • Malders Nick Malden (@Malders) reported from Godstow, England

    @virginmedia Yes the internet has been down all day in Ox2 8pg. I rely on it for work!

  • HaiderAlRekabi Haider Al-Rekabi 🏴‍☠️ (@HaiderAlRekabi) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia There is no problem in my area. My problem is specific to my account.

  • MikeBiscoe1 Mike Biscoe (@MikeBiscoe1) reported from Reading, England

    If anyone is interested in how much @virginmedia are overcharging for their dreadful service, I’ve just been offered a price match on cancellation to move to a different supplier. £27.50/month for a service for which they originally increased price to £105/month

  • kqbrain Khurram Qayam (@kqbrain) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia let me down once again with their pathetic service. First the broadband was extremely slow all day and now the Hub is gone. No emergency appointment and I have to wait for a week for a technician visit. @Ofcom

  • MikeBiscoe1 Mike Biscoe (@MikeBiscoe1) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia @VirginMedia_TV trying to get through to your customer services for explanation of bill. #losingthewilltolive

  • kqbrain Khurram Qayam (@kqbrain) reported from Reading, England

    Another day of pathetic experience on @virginmedia broadband service. No broadband service in RG6 area. Regretting my decision to switch. @Ofcom @DowndetectorUK

  • DoughnutDoney Doughnut Doney (@DoughnutDoney) reported from Benson, England

    @virginmedia plz stop calling me asking if I want an upgrade. Been a loyal customer for over 15 yrs and its getting annoying now. Yes my phone is due for an upgrade but only when I want it. So plz when you say Im on the 'has been contacted list' stick with that 😞

  • kqbrain Khurram Qayam (@kqbrain) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia It's always the same response. No service impacting issues reported. However, the service is pretty bad. Wondering if @virginmedia network is capable of handling traffic or deliberately doing throttling. @Ofcom

  • barrowboy78 ⚒ JOHN TURNER ⚒ (@barrowboy78) reported from Reading, England

    Anybody having problems with @virginmedia in the Reading area ……..?

  • kqbrain Khurram Qayam (@kqbrain) reported from Reading, England

    Another day of bad experience with @virginmedia broadband service in RG6 area. Buffering on streaming service, no video calls possible on Skype and WhatsApp. Seriously thinking of switching to @bt_uk

  • mkn1ght Ultra Mugnus (@mkn1ght) reported from Reading, England

    @monstroso @virginmedia A problem we all have.

  • Malders Nick Malden (@Malders) reported from Godstow, England

    @virginmedia @virginhelp we have been out for a few hours on ox2 8pg. When will our service be back up?

  • MikeBiscoe1 Mike Biscoe (@MikeBiscoe1) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia *sigh*. Been directed to this many times. Had engineers referred many times. This is a persistent issue that raises its ugly head far too frequently

  • Debbiejojessup Deborah Jessup (@Debbiejojessup) reported from Woodley, England

    Trying to cancel our Virgin Broadband what a nightmare. On hold for 90 mins still no one answers from the cancellation department. #virginmedia @virginmedia

  • shaun1968 shaun harley (@shaun1968) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia I'm expecting a replacement set top box to replace a broken tivo. Told it will be delivered Weds. but I've had no confirmation email and not showing in my virgin app. Can anyone help

  • kqbrain Khurram Qayam (@kqbrain) reported from Reading, England

    We have issue with #HGVdrivers but why @virginmedia broadband had issues for the last few days in RG6 area. Pretty bad service. @Ofcom

  • RNeacsu Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia Broadband down in OX11 area.

  • RNeacsu Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia Internet keeps disconnecting. Called, useless as always. Intermittent issues or connectivity issues. Just send an engineer to check, why wait for another 24h when this is an ongoing issue. I've even reset the hub, still same issues.

    @virginmedia I know that you have access to internal systems, even if it's "just twitter" otherwise how else would you resolve people's problems?

  • idrewdoughnut Andrew Molodoi (@idrewdoughnut) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, but it doesn’t show anything. I’m waiting since April 2020 for a fix for this issue, I’m always told the engineers are working hard to get it fixed in the next few days but it has been 11 months 😐 and now my service is completely down and there is no way to report it

  • JackieKellySW Jackie Kelly (@JackieKellySW) reported from Borough of Torbay, England

    @virginmedia New issue started a few days ago , tv keeps going off , not a TV issue .

  • NicolaGare NicolaGareHFW (@NicolaGare) reported

    @jackwshepherd @virginmedia I don’t want to burst your bubble, but based on our experience I hope you don’t have high expectations of service, broadband speed, connectivity etc etc......
