  • SupaScouse53 Paul M. Farmer (@SupaScouse53) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia Hi John/Virgin Media I can grudgingly accept service issues but I can’t accept poor Customer Service advice, e.g. going on My Virgin Media & constantly being told there isn’t a service problem. Thanks for update at last. Paul

  • Weaver_Diva Claire (@Weaver_Diva) reported from Southampton, England

    @AdamDrewy85 Mines down too. We’re with @virginmedia

  • ie_guitars Ian Easton (@ie_guitars) reported from Upper Clatford, England

    @virginmedia your broadband service is a disgrace.

  • missokeme Hannah (@missokeme) reported from Romsey, England

    @virginmedia any idea how long this outage will be in Romsey/Southampton, it’s been down since 10pm last night.

  • 76chappers Milton Chapman (@76chappers) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia Constant problems are forcing me to reconsider my services. #fail #virginmedia #wifiblackout

  • _euanito 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 (@_euanito) reported from Southampton, England

    Virgin media wifi down all across the country. Ironically, they've ****** everyone 😔

  • bertrum Neil B (@bertrum) reported from Totton and Eling, England

    @TheRegister looks as if @virginmedia have a major outage affecting most if not all of Hampshire and into Dorset. Status page says all is good but tweets to them indicates otherwise.

  • langdonpiggott artist with scarf (@langdonpiggott) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia Here is an idea ; proactively acknowledge that WiFi connections down for over 12 hours and suggest that the next bill we all receive reflects the loss of ‘service’. Look forward to seeing that!

  • LisaMFricker Lisa Fricker (@LisaMFricker) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia The TV took 3 hours to sort out but fixed now. The broadband was more annoying as I work from home, was off from 1030pm last night until about an hour ago today. Also the service status on your website doesn't work either! Not a good service for the price we pay each month 😩

  • ie_guitars Ian Easton (@ie_guitars) reported from Upper Clatford, England

    @virginmedia Hi - I have done this and it doesn’t work. The broadband has been down since midnight and there seems to be thousands of other people with the same issue. It looks to be a fault your end. Please instigate a fix.

  • woogar2010 🏳️‍🌈 Gaz 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣 (@woogar2010) reported from Southampton, England

    @spoise87 @virginmedia They are getting worse, been with for a long time we are now looking for an alternative as they are way too expensive for the problems they have.

  • LisaMFricker Lisa Fricker (@LisaMFricker) reported from Southampton, England

    @andyphilp @virginmedia Had a TV outage last week where the picture was all interference. But yes I agree the speed is never what we pay for.

  • kaz123s Karen Simpson (@kaz123s) reported from Andover, England

    @virginmedia is there a problem in the Andover SP10 area, we’ve been without broadband for about 12 hours so far. I can’t access the service checker either. Thanks

  • planetf1 Nigel Jones (@planetf1) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia @brum1985 Why is your status page still broken. Surely you should have updated with some static text mentioning widespread issues. Phone line the same . No issues. We know there is. You need to step up to communicate on those other channels. Poor show currently

  • enkeli85 Clare Old (@enkeli85) reported from Southampton, England

    @sarahharding86 @virginmedia Not helpful when home ill, I was going to watch the network today as well 🤣

  • LisaMFricker Lisa Fricker (@LisaMFricker) reported from Southampton, England

    @ispreview Yes mine went down at 10.30pm last night. Disgraceful service from @virginmedia lately

  • LisaMFricker Lisa Fricker (@LisaMFricker) reported from Southampton, England

    @andyphilp @virginmedia I agree, the service lately from @virginmedia is disgraceful and we all deserve a refund

  • Resqred Resq (@Resqred) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia any update on what's happening with the outage in Southampton

  • SCHchauffeur Southampton Chauffeur (@SCHchauffeur) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia It is no good stating what we already know - ‘We are aware of a problem and our engineers are working to resolve it’ BUT what is the problem AND what is the time scale for resuming service. Keep customers informed!

  • timpwade Tim Wade (@timpwade) reported

    @virginmedia Partner has lodged a complaint. Still unclear if our account has been cancelled. Unacceptable to be repeatedly subject to the same questions and unable to cancel. We have been loyal customers for years but will not be returning.

    @virginmedia Hi, Sorry to get back to you later than anticipated. There has been an emergency in my street, and I have to go out until later this afternoon. Would it be easier to contact again Monday?

  • Charley26820327 Charley (@Charley26820327) reported

    @virginmedia I have an engineer booked for tomorrow. I spoke to an agent on the phone. Apparently its normal to have these issues. Not 5 times in 2 months it's not !

  • chillglos Claire Hill (@chillglos) reported

    @virginmedia I wanted to cancel and was talked into staying. Why can’t anyone ring me?? I really don’t have an hour to waste whilst I wait for call to be answered

  • DanielIgnorante El Ignorante Habló (@DanielIgnorante) reported

    @virginmedia That's the problem, I called 2 times at that number and the call was cutted 2 times. On second call I thing I was close to have what I want (renew my 100Mb contract with the winter offer of 27£, we are paying 45!!), but one moment I was put w8ing again and the call was cutted

  • Fuck_Puppy **** Puppy (@Fuck_Puppy) reported

    @CollegeJocks @virginmedia @LutzSchueler I would say time for a new box, demand one, if they refuse you can early terminate with out a penilty as they not providing the service also request back you previous subs, then just take out a new contract and get a new box. Or go to ofcom, its been over days.

  • rightleftdivide Kev (Swansea) (@rightleftdivide) reported

    Regretting my decision to stick with @virginmedia for my broadband. They are awful and their customer service is non-existent!!
