    Internet not working, virgin media service status page not working @virginmedia shall I assume it's not fricking working and it might be repaired this century

  • welshcuriosity Jordan (@welshcuriosity) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Upgrading to gigabit broadband meant getting a new router from VirginMedia, so took the opportunity to tidy up and remove old cabling and extension leads. Didn't realise just how much unused crap I still had plugged in/taking up space

  • 555Husker MarcB (@555Husker) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia When will the website be fixed? It has been broken for weeks, ever since you “improved” it.

  • dodo1960 squeaks (@dodo1960) reported from Cardiff, Wales

  • gillih Gill Harrison (@gillih) reported from Portishead and North Weston, England

  • SamBarr82227578 Sam Barry (@SamBarr82227578) reported

    @virginmedia my internet has been disconnecting and reconnecting every 2 minutes and on your website, it says there are no problems. I know this isn't the case.

  • cooper104 Doug A 🚴 (@cooper104) reported

    @virginmedia I finally got though and it was resolved in 10 mins, thanks. Maybe a nicer message to tell you more of the story of why you can't take calls.. the message I got seems rude and doesn't reflect well.. doesn't matter how busy you are, nice messaging goes a long way.

  • BlocksONeill Al (@BlocksONeill) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, Is there an issue with your wifi network in the North London area? Connection to the broadband has been atrocious for the past 7 days. Wifi speeds well below what I signed up for.

  • 1983Smithy Claire Smith (@1983Smithy) reported

    The queue times are ridiculous to speak to anyone! Putting customers bills up then not having enough staff to deal with the call @virginmedia how can I cancel please I am taking my business elsewhere

  • 19stacey83 Stacey Mcintyre (Sam McIntyre) (@19stacey83) reported

    @virginmedia Off again. 4th time since 9am, again tracker says spot on. Please can you advise why this is happening and what is being done to fix the issue and when this whole issue will be resolved

  • matwrightzzz Mat Wright (@matwrightzzz) reported

    @virginmedia Not really though eh? I've spent over 3 hours on hold today and still nowhere near sorting your issue.

  • Jameslesternffc James Lester (@Jameslesternffc) reported

    @virginmedia You reassured me the booster would solve the WiFi issues, had them 4 weeks and still no WiFi upstairs.

  • AlexRevens alex_revens@hotmail.com (@AlexRevens) reported

    @virginmedia Your customer service has been appalling. I’ve been waiting to chat to an agent for over an hour now on the ‘chat’ and just been hung up on by one of your agents on the phone. Seriously questioning continuing with your services.

  • AlisonT15112752 Alison Thomson (@AlisonT15112752) reported

    @virginmedia Hi Virgin Media. Please could someone contact me to correct a billing problem. I'm due a refund but next bill looking for more money! Can't get through by phone or online messaging. Twitter last hope!! Thanks

  • LReyno1ds The GiTFD PM (@LReyno1ds) reported

    Day #8 without internet connectivity via @virginmedia with continued poor updates on a resolution to this #SNROutage ...in current times where we are living at work & home schooling, it is absolutely unacceptable to manage the response as they have, where they’ve done nothing.
