  • KStaff1878 KStaff (@KStaff1878) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Broadband down completely. Need to work from home, what's going on.

  • maffew85 Matt Duncan (@maffew85) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Down for both. Yesterday for about 2.5 hours. Today it went down for 30 minutes and again go down, so far, 15 minutes and counting. App/Website says estimated fix 3pm.

  • MattyHankinson Matt Hankinson (@MattyHankinson) reported from St Helens, England

    @cathd100 @virginmedia I’m having the same issue! Annoying!!!!!

  • Fatbelly57 Fatbelly 🇪🇺 💙💛 (@Fatbelly57) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Hi Guy's, we've had no broadband for 36 hours now and you've just text to say you've had to cancel our engineer call tomorrow! What's going on? No broadband and no communication

  • KStaff1878 KStaff (@KStaff1878) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Broadband and phone lines down in the L4 area yet again!!! I wish to cancel my contract early as you are failing to keep to your side of the agreement and provide a reliable service!!!! Piss poor

  • rmcc01 Rick McCann. Esq (@rmcc01) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia Of course I have, says issue found, but I want to know how long before its back on

  • lucindaduffy12 Lucinda Duffy (@lucindaduffy12) reported from Newton-le-Willows, England

    @virginmedia Thanks Anthony did arrive but very late and well after our 'slot' - he was under the impression customer services would have let us know? Such a shame to have had to complain, as he was so efficient and sorted things for us. Communication is key though!

  • KStaff1878 KStaff (@KStaff1878) reported from Liverpool, England

    @KindredUK @virginmedia The entire city it down it seems.

  • adam__moore Adam Vials Moore (@adam__moore) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia No @virginmedia it seems like a local box issue (maybe a line / router - diagnostics suggest not) - but it's not the first time this week, and my 10 year old is now pretty good at fault diagnosis due to the frequency of the failures...

  • Fatbelly57 Fatbelly 🇪🇺 💙💛 (@Fatbelly57) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Yes. I've checked the service status yesterday and twice today. I have screenshoted the result in my earlier tweet on this thread. What do I do now?

  • Clare___bear Clare Bagan (@Clare___bear) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia just spoke to a lovely guy on the phone. However, I don’t understand how you can justify charging £40 + for a deal that is £32 online for a new customer. I’ve been with you 20 + years, nothing needs doing to the account. It’s already set up. No point being loyal?

  • Fatbelly57 Fatbelly 🇪🇺 💙💛 (@Fatbelly57) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Done that and it says no known issues. Why have you cancelled our engineer visit tomorrow. Please help

  • WaynePBarrow Wayne Barrow (@WaynePBarrow) reported

    Can’t wait to get back to @SkyUK as our @virginmedia internet is shockingly bad. The amount of times I’ve had to hotspot my phone to my laptop to do a Zoom call is insane! 🙈

  • Brasfort49 Julian Armstrong (@Brasfort49) reported

    @virginmedia I want to add that these problems of intermittent connection have been going on for more than a year

  • Pobwright AwesomePob (@Pobwright) reported

    @virginmedia why do you treat your outsourced staff like ****?

  • fridayfeeling steph penny (@fridayfeeling) reported

    @virginmedia No update since 12.35 and still not working

  • BE97814771 B (@BE97814771) reported

    @virginmedia Yes there are no issues. How do I actually speak to someone about this and the phone just sends me through to look at the SMS message which tells me to ring the same number

  • FinWatkinson Fin Watkinson (@FinWatkinson) reported

    @virginmedia Any idea when the Broadband issue in Tottenham is going to be fixed? The site showing the service status is currently down, which isn't a great help...

  • Saraamr2009 Sara Amr (@Saraamr2009) reported

    @virginmedia how difficult is it for me to find out why an engineer walked off site for our new customer installation on 22/12 saying he was missing a piece of equipment and leaving nothing working? VERY difficult!

  • Lucy32545128 Lucy (@Lucy32545128) reported

    @Jonatha50508529 @virginmedia Shocking isn’t it! Worst company

  • PetermcRed Peter mcgoldrick (@PetermcRed) reported

    @Lucy32545128 @virginmedia I agree. Then after 2 hours they just cut you off. They don't log the calls either, so they can deny you ever had a problem

  • PetermcRed Peter mcgoldrick (@PetermcRed) reported

    @virginmedia Virgin are denying there was anything wrong with their broadband. They didn't log our complaints and the didn't log our cancellation request. Can't send screenshots to the txt help as they can't receive them.
