  • ShelleyFacius Shelley (Facius) Stuart (@ShelleyFacius) reported from London, England

    Anyone else have no broadband since yesterday due to a @virginmedia outage? This is the third time since April!! My neighbours and I seriously debating move back to Sky #virginmedia get it right

  • RuthTongueBites Ruth Tongue (@RuthTongueBites) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Yes it has thanks but could I have an email address for customer care/complaints pls?

  • TheSugg David Sugg (@TheSugg) reported from Gravesend, England

    @lobsterpants66 @virginmedia Yep. Engineer never turned up but logged it as he turned up and couldn’t get a reply. Lying b’stard.

  • andycairns Andy Cairns (@andycairns) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia No service again in RM2. Last speed test showed 3mbps when I’m paying for 500. Only option to cancel my account involves sitting on a premium rate number for an unspecified length of time. This is awful service.

  • SimonBucks Simon Bucks (@SimonBucks) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia It was down for the whole of yesterday. Came back eventually in the evening but too late for my working day. Please can you tell us what the problem was. The service is really flaky and for the price you charge I would expect 99.9% reliability.

  • gorgeousuk A҈n҈n҈a҈b҈e҈l҈l҈e҈ H҈i҈l҈l҈ (@gorgeousuk) reported from London, England

    Disastrous service from @virginmedia every single day in SE6 area. On off on off all day long. On most expensive tariff. Joke

  • J0111C JC X Æ A-01 (@J0111C) reported from Stone, England

    @virginmedia how do I find out when my current deal ends??? Cos in all honesty you’re the biggest **** sandwich of a firm I’ve ever dealt with.

  • nixearle Nicola Slyper (@nixearle) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I’ve been trying to get a response from your live chat. I sent a message at 9:38 this morning. I got a response at 13:00 but the person seems to have disappeared as now I’m not getting any response. I just need old bills from Mar-Jul19. Please help?

  • alansbrown alan brown (@alansbrown) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @richie_errol @virginmedia I have had the same for years and have now gone to sky. I also called sky to cancel and start again so could get 100 cash back via quidco and they have me 100 credit on my first bill. More customer service in 3 mins from sky than 15 years from @virginmedia

  • Mike__Lloyd Mike Lloyd (@Mike__Lloyd) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    Internet has been up and down for several hour tonight. Has been doing stuff like this on and off for days recently SM1 As usual they claim ints fine @virginmedia #virginmediadown

  • alansbrown alan brown (@alansbrown) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @VirginMediaCorp Shame your awful service has caused me to leave and I am sure @richie_errol wikl be following suit soon!! @virginmedia #servicefailure

  • Tai_Aro Tai Aro (@Tai_Aro) reported from London, England

    Hey @virginmedia @VirginMediaCC I’ve not had #broadband connection for a day now. The usual fixes are not working, tried calling customer service but no answer. Please help!

  • mrrob74 Rob (@mrrob74) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia You’ve shown a trailer for #McMillions, saying it’s available on Virginmedia on demand. I can’t find it anywhere! Please help.

  • chadoneit Charlie Done It. (@chadoneit) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I finally got through to a girl called Chloe. She was very argumentative and seemed to cut me off at the end so none the wiser. How do I go about making a complaint?

  • scottdb79 Scott (@scottdb79) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia WiFi down yet again in SE6, what’s going on, can your servers not cope with temperatures above 30c! I think it’s time to stop using the #stayconnected tag line, it’s not doing you any favours. Some of us have to work to do and deadlines to meet.

  • Crypto_News_ Crypto Trading (@Crypto_News_) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia Sort your network @virginmedia NETWORK DOWN

  • joy_coutts Joy Coutts (@joy_coutts) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia no WiFi is there an issue in Romford ? the service is getting worse daily. Like many have to work from home, very disappointed in the service

  • wonky61shaky Penny Rolfe (@wonky61shaky) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia When are you going to refund me for many days without a wifi signal

  • Muradkhxn Murad (@Muradkhxn) reported

    Broadband down on a bank holiday? Am I going to get a discount on my next bill or do I have to beg for that too? @virginmedia

  • proppalofficial Stephen MD of Prop Pal (@proppalofficial) reported

    @virginmedia It’s a nightmare whenever we have contacted you and from what I’m seeing on here, your team is either putting the phone down or the phone line connection is being lost. It would help if @virginmedia would announce you’re having problems with normal connection.

  • DJ99__ DW (@DJ99__) reported

    @virginmedia Being a long term customer, am I not as valuable as a new customer? I guess virgin media have a false sense of worth to my life too. I’ll go with Sky instead.. at least they offer their best deals to new AND existing customers. Virgin Media could learn something there.. 💡 👋

  • TruthIsRealUk AllOpinionsAreMyOwn (@TruthIsRealUk) reported

    @virginmedia No disrespect but you have missed the point. Look at the difference in the graphs. And, as I said, the service is patchy. Up then it's not, up then it's not. Invest in network sniffers, run diagnostics overnight, then fix any errors. And repeat.

  • JamesFi52491280 James Findlay (@JamesFi52491280) reported

    @virginmedia Yes. I've tried a different socket. This is very frustrating. There seems no reason for the issue. Plus I can't use a different router. I need one from Virgin. How long will it take to get a new router?

  • officer_cartman Mark Bates (@officer_cartman) reported

    @virginmedia I’d rather stick pins in my eye than go through the phone option ,why can’t they just make the complaints part so you can view resolution ? Or I can give you the email to send it to..that’s all I want

  • IeuanPoole Lord Ieuan Poole (@IeuanPoole) reported

    @virginmedia Yes on 503, not on main event. It would begin to load then disappear. It is working now but that's no good for me for the first half. It's every single time without fail that it takes you ages to sort it out, can't you just sort it ahead of time??

  • LauraVCook1980 Laura Cook (@LauraVCook1980) reported from Dalham, England

    And broadband gone down again this afternoon @virginmedia. Will these intermittent outages be sorted after BH weekend? Not always looking at my phone so no idea of it’s been on and off all day. I imagine yes. Why is @BBCNews only reporting the Vodafone broadband issues?

  • DGFRecords Doomgardener (@DGFRecords) reported

    @virginmedia How many phone calls does it take to not renew a contract ? Answer.. Me. "I do not wish to renew the contract on march 26" Virgin "Thanks for calling us and letting us know, we will terminate your service on march 26". Not hard is it.

  • tiptonglenn73 Glenn Tipton (@tiptonglenn73) reported

    @virginmedia No it gone to far now john I'm sick of this poor mis treatment by virgin media 1hr 30mins and still no manager I want to speak to a human being John but @libertyglobal are not bothered about treating there customers like ***** No More
