  @virginmedia Not now there isn’t. But there was no service at 8am until 10.30. T happens on a regular basis but it doesn’t stop the price going up.

  @virginmedia Morning! All service seems to be down in N14 - can’t even access your service page to check what’s happening. Can you help?

  Dionne (@dionnepat2000) reported 13 minutes ago from Walthamstow, England

  @virginmedia I shouldn’t have to. It’s a new issue that other people are having too. I can turn off wifi on my phone and it’s fine. Please tell them who fix things to fix it. Not only me

  Paul Lewis (@paulstevenlewis) reported 14 minutes ago from Mill Hill East, England

  @virginmedia So you cancel the service months if not years before the 4G replacement is a really extensive alternative, while increasing your prices and telling customers “sorry, but that’s tough”. I understand your team is just at the sharp end dealing with flack, but that’s really bad of VM

  @virginmedia wifi doesn’t work. It’s impossible to get in touch with them in the phone. The worst internet service I have had…

  @virginmedia Was fixed to discuss how I put a complaint in for compensation but guess what ?? I received no call.

  Paul Simmonds (@paulusthegrey) reported 40 minutes ago from Borehamwood, England

  @virginmedia I think I may have an idea what’s happened to your service in #borehamwood It looks like a kerbside box has been totalled by a drunk driver.

  Grant Osborn (@Gosbo68) reported 42 minutes ago from Northaw and Cuffley, England

  @Bazza_68 @virginmedia Up. Then down again. That’s the 4th time today.

  Sandeep Pandya (@spandya1) reported 44 minutes ago from Watford, England

  @virginmedia is there a problem impacting broadband in wd17? Services dropped suddenly at around 1:30-1:45pm today.

• 
  Lawrence ****** 🇺🇦 (@goonerlgh) reported 47 minutes ago from Islington, England

  @virginmedia Do you, or could you make a TV box remote for the elderly? Tiny buttons with tinier symbols instead of words, black buttons on black body.... Almost impossible for some older people to use. An OAP version with larger coloured buttons would be such a help!

  𝚂𝚝𝚎𝚙𝚑𝚎𝚗 𝙵𝚒𝚝𝚣𝚜𝚒𝚖𝚘𝚗𝚜 (@WordDoodler) reported 52 minutes ago from Tottenham, England

  So it turns out @virginmedia have a help system that isn’t helpful. Catch-22 built into system and no tv. Why am I paying them?

• 
  Sandeep Pandya (@spandya1) reported 53 minutes ago from Watford, England

  @virginmedia …and now download speed is 50-70 mbps as opposed to 500 mbps + before the incident (hard wired to router not over Wi-Fi). Please can you look into this?

  John Spencer 555 (@johnspencer555) reported 9 minutes ago

  VirginMedia was down afternoon, evening, and all night? The phone is via the Hub now, silly as you can't phone for help when the whole thing crashes, even the TV was down, rare. I couldn't fix old ariel so no TV. But no biggy, I guess.

  Oh and the issue is an authentication issue between @virginmedia and @skytv but virgin say it’s nothing to do with that, and that you need to use a stream box for it! Well 3 stream boxes are all failing to show anything on the red button!

  (Re)Search & Destroy (@TruthAsylum121) reported 16 minutes ago

  THREAD 8 — THE DEVICES Connectivity is only useful if people have something to connect. This takes us to Solidaritech in Bradford. The organisation was established in 2017 to refurbish unwanted technology and provide it to refugees and asylum seekers. It works with laptops, desktops, tablets and smartphones. The cumulative figure is now more than 5,000 devices since 2017. But that isn’t simply historical. Solidaritech is still operating. In 2025, Bechtle partnered with Solidaritech to repurpose 857 devices, including phones, laptops, PCs and tablets, which were donated to asylum seekers and refugees. Then there is Migrant Help. Through Community Calling, smartphones and free data have been provided specifically for asylum seekers and survivors of trafficking and modern slavery. Virgin Media O2 reported that Migrant Help had received 1,250 devices and free data, with a further 5,000 devices planned. Screen Share UK also received funding to provide devices, connectivity and repair training to refugees and asylum seekers. Its trainees then repaired and redistributed devices to other refugees. The device itself has therefore become part of an ongoing system. Technology is collected. It is refurbished. It is connected. It is distributed. And sometimes the recipient is taught how to repair the next device.

  @SkySports @virginmedia you are officially crap. Opening EFL weekend and no-one can access Sky Sports Plus. Very poor.

  Andrew Ferguson OBE (@MrSaffron) reported 22 minutes ago

  @WeAreOpenreach @NeilJac74898351 @virginmedia In this case it looks like Virgin media has its fttp networks also available via nexfibre but a couple of addresses they don’t serve do exist. If at one of those then retailers on Openreach network are the way.
