Wow Virgin media TV services are down nationwide due to a power outage. That's an awful lot of compensation.

@virginmedia hope you can help please! Our router is a hub 3. It has a constant red light. It’s not over heating, I’ve done multiple hard resets. Any suggestions? Do I need a new router?

@virginmedia The Broadband is down in our postcode. Your fault system says there is no fault and asking each resident to log a call out which is nonsense. DM me and I’ll give you full postcode so you can sort it out.

@virginmedia service just gets worse and worse. 3 days with no TV service whatsoever, and now no Internet either in SE7. It's simply not good enough anymore. Your service has been declining rapidly for over a year. Sort it out please.

@virginmedia time now 11:14pm and certain channels still aren’t working, things said they have recorded when they haven’t, search function also still not working code c133. I think a refund is due to a lot of customers 👎🏻👎🏻#virginmediadown

@virginmedia To be fair, the TV is better via Virgin and download speeds are good too (most of the time) but you fall down on broadband reliability, upload speeds and landlines costs.

@virginmedia Yes I have but the download speed is fine. The problem is that you peg the upload speeds down to 10mbs. We used to get that over copper cables. It's time to step it up a notch.

@virginmedia Are you serious!? 24 hours later you are NOW getting back to me!? Joke of a company. Have cancelled rather than renewed my contract, purely because of your woeful customer service. Horrendous.

@virginmedia It just drops out all the time. Using your online checker it says that there is a network issue coming into the home. Told me to check the connections / reboot rooter etc (which I've done several times) and nothin has improved.
