  • WillBr1875 Will_BRFC.1875 (@WillBr1875) reported from Great Harwood, England

    @virginmedia There isn't anything that could help with the problem because I don't fully understand what everything is or means etc It could do with a technician to have a look, something similar as happened before and you sent a technician out

  • BertNashCha Bert Nash (@BertNashCha) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Tried that many times. Not working within 3 days. Can you call ME instead to arrange? If not, cancelling service.

  • NJWesthead NJW (@NJWesthead) reported from Rawtenstall, England

    @virginmedia Broadband/TV outage until 2:35pm but can’t register a loss of service as page doesn’t load. On 4G so problem is with you. Why advertise you’ll compensate if there’s no way to get it?!

  • GreenwasBlue GreenWasBlue (@GreenwasBlue) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia I've tried the online help to no avail.Just going round in circles. How do I get to book a visit by a human being?? 😡

  • martyn_driver Martyn The Driver (@martyn_driver) reported from Rochdale, England

    @virginmedia after 26 years as a loyal cable customer it is time to say goodbye. It would seem that loyalty is not rewarded, and you don't want low use customers

  • FloButcher84 strange little Flo (@FloButcher84) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia bb3 area: internet has been down since yesterday morning & update it's not going to be fixed till tomorrow. I have a online business to run & kids need to do their homework online, can't stream any tv either. Can I ask what the issue is & why its taking so long?

  • PIL0TPEDR0 Pete Best (Pil0t Pedr0) (@PIL0TPEDR0) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Yet again an intermittent service in Area 20 BL1 2 this has now gone beyond a joke, paying for a service and not getting it

  • GeoffEvansTutor Geoffrey Evans (@GeoffEvansTutor) reported from Bury, England

    Broadband DOWN two days last week then on for a day then OFF Today @virginmedia working from home on Monday in BL9- not good enough for what we pay!!!! #nothappy

  • els_photographs Emma L Strawbridge 📷🍓🎮🏳️‍🌈 (@els_photographs) reported from Bury, England

    @virginmedia the connection issues better be sorted by tomorrow morning, some of us need to work

  • LawAspi TheAspiLawStudent #NoReturns (@LawAspi) reported from Chorley, England

    @nerdscav @the_hinchy @virginmedia Yes because a WiFi extender will fix the issue when it's the incoming line and not the hardware 😳. The routers gives a 3ping and 1GBps connection. The issue is virgin's crappy network 👍

  • BertNashCha Bert Nash (@BertNashCha) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Poor. Very poor. 3 days trying, being on hold, being assured return calls, moving home team have to speak to Netflix team (don't even have it), then being told it's cancelled and being give packaging instructions. Ridiculous, wanted to stay with you.

  • insidewrite1957 Peter Thornton.🇺🇦 (@insidewrite1957) reported from Ramsbottom, England

    @eshelm @simonnread @virginmedia Worst people I’ve ever worked for By a distance

  • SoloUtilitaRian UtilitaRian 🔶 (@SoloUtilitaRian) reported from Bolton, England

    With the intro of new dedicated Gigabit lines in my street I can't wait to switch over and leave Virgin Media for good. 3x internet has gone down this week and I just called VM. The systems there are down and gotta call back in 3hrs..... useless

  • J_w_D94 LeChonk (@J_w_D94) reported from Horwich, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I'm tweeting from the device I'm having connectivity and signal issues with, I've looked on the website and it's not stating if you're having network issues or not.

  • BertNashCha Bert Nash (@BertNashCha) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia @VirginMedia_TV any help/advice on moving house. Want to stay with Virgin but can't speak to anyone and the home move team have said they've cancelled the policy? 3 days trying to speak to someone.

  • PIL0TPEDR0 Pete Best (Pil0t Pedr0) (@PIL0TPEDR0) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Still having problems there is a fault in the area, supposed to be fixed by 16:25 today, over 24 hours without Internet is a joke

  • laurenpoche Lauren🥃🎓📖 (@laurenpoche) reported from Rochdale, England

    @virginmedia no TV or internet all day. Even my phone internet been playing up, hardly had that as I'm on 02, which you are partnered with. 10am tomorrow it says to be fixed now, no other updates on the issue or help. Very poor.

  • JohnnyDude1983 🦔🦊Johnny1983 🦝🐱 (Big Animal Lover🐕🐶🐁) (@JohnnyDude1983) reported from Bury, England

    @virginmedia Hi. Is there a difference between cat 5E & cat6 & cat7 ethernet performance wise on your network 🤔. I'm using cat 6 ethernet from my hub 3.0 to your provided powerline booster . Then from powerline booster to my V6 box. I'm using cat7 ethernet from hub 3.0 to V6 🤔

  • WillBr1875 Will_BRFC.1875 (@WillBr1875) reported from Great Harwood, England

    @virginmedia Hi , I just wanted to ask if you could help me concerning my Internet at home , its not been working all weekend at all, it connects but nothing please can we sort the problem ASAP Thank You

  • FloButcher84 strange little Flo (@FloButcher84) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia Yeah I've seen that already thanks, but it's not going to help the kids with accessing homework online. no I am not on a B account as of yet as I have only just started out in the last week 😑 but even if I was on a B account it would still be off so doesn't make any difference

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • gandy Andy Gibson (@gandy) reported

    @virginmedia Can you confirm whether you are caching any Youtube content via your network? The most plausible explanation I can think of is that the Virgin network is preventing direct access to the source files, and the intermediary system isn't working properly.

  • Carlianleeds LUFC is Life ⚽️ (@Carlianleeds) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia // my credentials. But without her, you can’t do anything 🤔 I’ve reported the faulty router, I’ve told you explicitly that I WILL NOT engage with my ex. Yet your telephone persons tell me I have to…. You claim I have a mobile contract with you? I don’t, I never have//

  • alfieboy85 Danny (@alfieboy85) reported

    @virginmedia A few times and had 3 engineers out. All advised the issue was sorted. Last engineer advised that we may have a problem with the upstream coming into the property.

  • midnighttmo Midnight 🏳️‍⚧️ (@midnighttmo) reported

    @virginmedia , or any other excuse. Your hardware is the issue, it is literally the only thing causing fault.

  • jon_dixon77 Jon Dixon (@jon_dixon77) reported

    @virginmedia I have no idea. You sent me an email to tell me the complaint was closed, even though you hadn’t spoken to me before closing it. I have given you the complaint number - please can you pass this on to the relevant team to contact me - as was promised by your call handler

  • Carlianleeds LUFC is Life ⚽️ (@Carlianleeds) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia Thread: you NEVER give me my own account details. I’ve repeatedly told you that the account was set up on my now exes email address. Without her, you won’t talk to me, but you have no problem taking £55 a month just for WiFi…… just WiFi! I’ve repeatedly asked you to update//

  • alsahhimgul AlSah Him (@alsahhimgul) reported

    @virginmedia Still not working

  • jon_dixon77 Jon Dixon (@jon_dixon77) reported

    @virginmedia I have given you a call and was told someone from the resolution / complaints team would call me back within 48 hours. That was last Wednesday.

  • AnthonyMCassidy Anthony Cassidy (@AnthonyMCassidy) reported from Llandrindod Wells, Wales

    @virginmedia I have been told it’s a fault within the area although your apps say there is no fault. I was told it’s an external issue and the best estimate I was given was “could be up to a week but may be sooner”. It’s not good enough. Haven’t heard anything from Virgin since I called Fri.

  • YoungSigmund Da La (@YoungSigmund) reported

    @virginmedia Complaints were over the phone. I have recorded most of my conversations with your customer service as it is very bad. If you want me to write a legal letter I can got to my solicitor and write a legal letter to your legal department. This will invite cost to you
