  • sharonblaxland Sharon (@sharonblaxland) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia has gone down, no internet and only a few obscure tv channels.... that I’m watching, so I can keep watching telly 😳

  • jcarphotography Jason Carlin (@jcarphotography) reported from Romford, England

    @philsteer64 @virginmedia Ditto. Exact same issue

  • drummerJ83 Jay Bourley (@drummerJ83) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia Hello, I've tried rebooting the hub and it has made it worse. There was nothing listed on the site as a problem for my area. I can't get through anything on Netflix without 4,5 maybe 6 stops to buffer.

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia I’ve going through this process since 20th March! I’m unable to talk on the phone easily due to a brain injury. I’m still waiting for a response from the resolution team!!

  • KudaLudaLegend1 Kuda Madzikanda (@KudaLudaLegend1) reported from Gravesend, England

    Seriously getting towards 24hr broadband outage..Can someone tell me if I can cancel my contract as technically @virginmedia have not met their contractual obligation🤔

  • LawroGardiner Lawrence Gardiner ➡️ (@LawroGardiner) reported from Basildon, England

    @Dianemiddleto @tankhead666 @virginmedia Thanks. I got the text hours after talking to Virgin Media on the phone to activate my hub after a house move. Never had it before. Something not right in their call centres.

  • gorgeousuk anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia When you are using your data in your own house so often, have Netflix, Now and Amazon Prime you pay for that you can’t even use when Broadband are down, you have to ask, what the HELL am I doing with a company that can’t provide a basic bloody service.

  • gorgeousuk anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Or maybe that’s wishful thinking. Anyway. We will be considering our options over the weekend and I don’t think we will be staying with VM. Bad service is too regular now

  • Tazul2015 Tazul Islam (@Tazul2015) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia in the 10 years I have been with virgin media, this is the first time my internet has gone down. Sometimes things do go wrong but it’s how you deal with it that matters. Well done to your engineers for restoring the service quickly!!

  • gorgeousuk anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia The deeper check did not work because the internet is down and therefore the check did not work......it’s just so pathetic really

  • gorgeousuk anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia That would imply that I had faith in your services & belief that you cared about your customers. I know from the past that this is not the case. I have already checked and this problem is supposed to be fixed by 3pm, it has been ongoing since 8am. It really is tedious and boring

  • karl_holden Karl Holden (@karl_holden) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia the service is deteriorating. Time to review your performance and reveal the source of your problems before your customer base starts to become even more disenchanted.

  • marcsnappy Marc Corn (@marcsnappy) reported from Basildon, England

    @Shadow_Official @virginmedia This issue I found happened more on wifi, I had to put in a secondary switch and run everything via Ethernet.

  • lawrie774 Law (@lawrie774) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @vmbusinesshelp @virginmedia another day and still no business phone lines now into day six, figures are down and angry emails from existing customer as they can't get through on the phone. Looking forward to getting the standard "sorry to hear" tweet which leads to nothing.

  • bexhoops Wayne Sumner (@bexhoops) reported from Crayford, England

    @rajeevdatta @RuislipR @virginmedia My problem is...I live right at the furthest point from the bt exchange so by the Time it gets to me it’s as slow as hell..that’s why I went virgin...expensive

  • daphnemotivates Daphne Clifton (@daphnemotivates) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Your chat help was absolutely no help at all. Unable to answer a simple question. I’ll have to queue for hours to speak to someone, who I hope can make sense. Can’t wait to leave @virginmedia #trapped

  • WUFC2005 Football 4 All (@WUFC2005) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia nothing but issues. 2G & 5G always stops working. Updates happens when ever it feels like. And every time I contact Virgin, it's like talking to a 6 year old.

  • DebzGlover Debz Glover😜 (@DebzGlover) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia Hi, no service issues in my area according to your website

  • Malcy7 Malcolm Saunders (@Malcy7) reported from Crayford, England

  • dringy40 Dringy (@dringy40) reported

    . @virginmedia hi I’m having speed issues - the upload is less than 3 and it’s causing massive issues with my work - should be 10mbps - was on chat yesterday for over 5 hours then got cut off - can you help please ASAP

  • MattKnight__ Matt Knight (@MattKnight__) reported

    Sigh. @virginmedia probably the worst broadband provider out there. #resilience

  • drum_cc CCDrum (@drum_cc) reported

    @MikeWhitnall @virginmedia Don't do it - they've got massive problems with over utilisation at the moment. Check out their Community Forums and you'll see loads of people with ping and latency problems.

  • Mummysten Hayley Sten (@Mummysten) reported

    @virginmedia any help ?

  • dscholzy Dan Scholz (@dscholzy) reported

    @virginmedia Yep called multiple times and gone through different tests resets etc to help. Was told there was an issue in my area and assured it would be resolved by the 6th. Then told an engineer is coming around to fix it today. Now got a message saying they’re coming next Tuesday...

  • macky80 shaun mcmanus (@macky80) reported

    @virginmedia I have just called 03454541111 after being on hold for over 20 minutes- YOU CUT ME OFF 😡 what an absolute shambles. I’m not going to get no work completed today and my children will not get any online school work completed. When will this broadband issue be solved in leicester??
