  • WmMorrison1984 William Morrison (@WmMorrison1984) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia Can someone please help me cancel my broadband it's now less than 30 days til my contract ends but have been trying to cancel for the last 13 days. Terrible customer service.

  • Mike1874 Mike Smith (@Mike1874) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @Adullamite1 @virginmedia Virgin is £133 per month for tv, broadband and phone. We have a deal which takes it down to £103 which is quite reasonable. But see trying to talk to someone...😒

  • Mike1874 Mike Smith (@Mike1874) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @Adullamite1 @virginmedia Trouble is we can't do without broadband as we're both working from home. Virgin don't even have a customer service email address. Marion has just spent 50 minutes on the phone. Quite awful.

  • McDad19 McDad (@McDad19) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    Aaaand #virginmedia is down again...

  • DannyZyw Danny Zyw (@DannyZyw) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @StevenSum32 @virginmedia Edinburgh! Yes I’ve had same problems for last 2 weeks... rebooting doesn’t help.. presuming it’s to do with too much traffic during lockdown but some explanation from @virginmedia would help

  • paigelawsonhfc PaigeLawson💚 (@paigelawsonhfc) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    Not surprised one bit that Virgin Media wifi is down across the UK.. robbing shower of shites. Glad i got rid of them 👍🏼

  • MarkTempini Mark Tempini 🕹👏 (@MarkTempini) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    The only reason Virgin Media works for 10 mins before shitting itself again is so they don't have to pay anyone compensation for the outage

  • McDad19 McDad (@McDad19) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    Aaand #virginmedia is down again!

  • snap_cheese ฿Ɇ₭₭₳₳ (@snap_cheese) reported from Bonnyrigg, Scotland

    @virginmedia how do you I get in contact with you using the online messaging service on website I have been waiting 2 hours I know it’s tough during this time but I need to speak ASAP about my broadband.

  • Enrohd_1992 Douglas (Statman Doug)🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Enrohd_1992) reported from Currie, Scotland

    Virgin Media you are a pile of shit!

  • Billybop Billy McKirdy (@Billybop) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia internet, broadband, WiFi, smart tv, all inaccessible due to continued signal problems in east Edinburgh, this is not acceptable at all, please resolve it, so much of our home activity relies on our internet access. 4 days now. This is poor service.

  • _Gemmaaaa_ Gemma Cairns (@_Gemmaaaa_) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia broadband is down again...

  • FraserStewart5 Fraser Stewart (@FraserStewart5) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia when will this outage be fixed

  • scottishchicp Paula ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@scottishchicp) reported from Broxburn, Scotland

    @scuj1 @virginmedia Oh never thought of that!

  • AlexLamond1 Alex (@AlexLamond1) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @martyajackson @virginmedia This seems to have been a UK wide issue, lots of talk of Vodafone, Sky, BT, EE and TalkTalk all having issues. All back up now though. Virgin shouldn’t have been affected but who knows at what box the issue lay

  • jamiemchale Jamie McHale (@jamiemchale) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    So looks like yes, @virginmedia is having a big outage.

  • garyfarmsocial garyfarmer🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@garyfarmsocial) reported from Linlithgow, Scotland

    The @virginmedia challenge. How long can you keep your internet connection before it goes down. 26 minutes and you’re lucky.

  • WmMorrison1984 William Morrison (@WmMorrison1984) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia Can someone please help me cancel my broadband it's now less than 30 days til my contract ends but have been trying to cancel for the last 12 days. Terrible customer service.

  • SARFRAZRATHORE SAF (@SARFRAZRATHORE) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia your WiFi is absolutely awful. Our renewal is in July and if you don’t sort we are cancelling.

  • _HausOfVictor 𝚅𝚒𝚌𝚝𝚘𝚛 🌟 (@_HausOfVictor) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia Already done and nothing - this keeps happening every few days for a few hours at a time. Can’t believe I’m paying full price for a service I only get 70% of the time - especially annoying when I rely on it to work from home.
