    @stevenfrost3003 @virginmedia @skytv We had the same problems, went to Sky who are much cheaper with better deals and service, never looked back 👍🏼

  • aboardy Alison Boardman (@aboardy) reported from Walton le Dale, England

    @virginmedia also run tests. All came back fine. Significantly below minimum guaranteed speed. Average 20mbps. Disappointed that I was promised a call and never got it. Been on hold too long. Appalling service.

  • ewart71 Jim Ewart (@ewart71) reported from Leyland, England

    @virginmedia It’s not fixed yet @virginmedia still intermittently losing internet won the wired connection also on demand still not working without dropping out and encountering errors - get it fixed as we are sick of paying you top end broadband for nothing

  • Cuttsrich rich cutts (@Cuttsrich) reported from Tyldesley, England

    @virginmedia hi can help please. TV service down with new reinstalled tivo box

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    Whatever you do think twice before joining @virginmedia it might look fast on paper but the 100mbs service is running slow in Kirkby when it runs at all. Customer service just blames Covid @VodafoneUK gave me prices really quickly by a lovely lady working from home

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia Please give me the contact address I guess I will compile the complaint in full and send it to whom ever overseas Virgin’s false advertising, breach of contract and not fit for purpose service I cannot see that Virgin give a toss about their customers or trying to sort internet

  • HelenLloyd66 Tweety Pie 🐥 (@HelenLloyd66) reported from Chorley, England

    @virginmedia My internet and TV has been very spasmodic for a few weeks now which is annoying however it has and been down now for 24 hours. I am highly vulnerable and cannot leave the house no TV no internet this is not a service

  • trev0rj0nes trevor jones (@trev0rj0nes) reported from Southport, England

    @virginmedia still no contact. Help me out here will you

  • KathyyyLouiseee Kathy Louise (@KathyyyLouiseee) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I need to speak to someone urgently about Virgin showing a missed payment on my credit history back in August 2018, when I cancelled my internet back in June 2018 (which was made incredibly difficult by poor customer service at the time)

  • scottcvrroll Scott Carroll (@scottcvrroll) reported from Liverpool, England

    @JacobAlderHam @virginmedia Shocking isn’t it mate, I’ve not been able to use streaming devices or gaming devices for a few weeks without constant spikes and buffering. I pay for 200 down and receive about 40... so much packet loss. Shambles.

  • 2013jamiepep James Pepperd (@2013jamiepep) reported from St Helens, England

    £1260 per year for a 3rd rate service #VirginMedia

  • helen_c_murphy Helen C Murphy (@helen_c_murphy) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia having issues with connectivity & slow speed. I'm working from home & this is causing me a LOT of stress. I still have targets. Hard to do when the internet is crawling & up & down like a yoyo. Been like this for 2 weeks. Diagnostics say no problem 😥😭

  • aboardy Alison Boardman (@aboardy) reported from Walton le Dale, England

    @virginmedia spoken to your “customer service”. Advised that promises for call back on live chat cannot be traced and nothing they could do. The call centre apparently has no record of live chat conversations. Advisor seemed to blame me! For a media company very poorly connected

  • aboardy Alison Boardman (@aboardy) reported from Walton le Dale, England

    @virginmedia reported slow speeds on Sunday. Promised a call back between 2 and 4 hours. Not received. Not getting the minimum guaranteed broadband speed yet paying in full. Proving difficult to speak to anybody. You appear not to care. #poorcustomerservice

  • colinlit colin littlejohns (@colinlit) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Why is broadband so bad @virginmedia please confirm as ypur service is appalling

  • Bwfc1976 Gareth barlow.... (@Bwfc1976) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia I can't get in touch to cancel my Internet pls help me out

  • ZHaxhifazliu Zeliha Haxhifazliu (@ZHaxhifazliu) reported from Liverpool, England

    @vmbusiness at this current time working from home under so much stress and pressure the last thing you need is your broadband playing up. This is not acceptable we ate paying for a service which is currently nonexistent. Wifi goes down every 5 min. Please can you look into this

  • 2013jamiepep James Pepperd (@2013jamiepep) reported from St Helens, England

    I don't have an ariel or freeview I rely on your piece of shit @virginmedia #VirginMedia

  • TheICC_Sandra Sandra Jane Eyre (@TheICC_Sandra) reported from Southport, England

    Great service from online service (text) and very helpful call from technical support today from @virginmedia, new hub on way to hopefully resolve issues #customerservice #FirstWorldProblems

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • coolasfridges Claxton (@coolasfridges) reported

    @tara_kennedy @virginmedia Surely you can leave the contract with just one month's notice if they can't supply the same service at your new address. I'm 99% sure this must be the case?

  • RobertDevaney5 Robert Dee (@RobertDevaney5) reported

    @virginmedia They did and eventually I managed to provide sufficient information to pass, but I was asked for the password 5 or 6 times, and each time it slowed matters down. I also got a call from your CEO Executive Team office but could not pass security!

  • RyuugaKun1 🎮Ryuuga Kun (Ryuu)🌸 (@RyuugaKun1) reported

    @virginmedia I don't think a 7 hour outage is fair for what I'm for per month. Estimated fix time 1800 hours? (6pm), can you shed some light on what exactly is going on and if you can fix it? I'm losing out on working time as i have no cable broadband for my PC #virginmediaoutage

  • emmakk99 burnt string bean (@emmakk99) reported

    @virginmedia what is your customer care phone number

  • deepak_k_rana Deepak K Rana (@deepak_k_rana) reported

    @virginmedia Outage from the service page is been removed. Its showing up and running on the service status page. My router is showing green light on Wifi and network icons.

  • chrishenry88 chris henry (@chrishenry88) reported

    @virginmedia You did over the weekend , five minutes later ( literally ) WiFi dropped off yet again . As for the money owing on the account , I’ve paid enough for awful service but no more !

  • aff00_ A (@aff00_) reported

    virgin media wifi service has been gone out since the morning. Worst broadband service I reckon

  • Mathudson1985 Matt Hudson (@Mathudson1985) reported

    @nigel670 @virginmedia Nige there awful, mine was spot on till I upgraded to 350mb a month or so back, lucky to get 40mb at best was running at over 400,

  • RyuugaKun1 🎮Ryuuga Kun (Ryuu)🌸 (@RyuugaKun1) reported

    @virginmedia Under what circumstances will I be entitled to a discount on my bill if this carries on? Is it 24 or 48 hours with no service?

  • silviasanchz Silvia Sánchez (@silviasanchz) reported
