  • TonyRoddUK Tony Rodd (@TonyRoddUK) reported from London, England

    Anyone on @virginmedia in SE London able to get online? We have had more issues and their service status page doesn't seem to be working. Doesn't look like they're responding to tweets either for the past 17 hours...

  • DebsySmith Debs smith (@DebsySmith) reported from London, England

  • JamesJWalsh James-J Walsh (@JamesJWalsh) reported from London, England

    Hey @virginmedia are there problems in #Lewisham? My WiFi keeps dropping out regularly. Tried ringing CS. Closed.

  • MidkentTravel MidKent Travel (@MidkentTravel) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia Can you please private message me, I have a log on issue.

  • maharrison Mark Harrison (@maharrison) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia I have continually tried to call, your wait times are really unacceptable, anyway I have also opted for the text service, however no text received. I am losing faith I’ve been waiting since August for some kind of contact from you. Any other options?

  • angelosfatclub Angelo (@angelosfatclub) reported from South Ockendon, England

    @virginmedia you obviously don’t want for appropriate new customers. Been on hold for over and hour and been lied to by you pre-install team. The worst experience I have ever had.

  • jorgeml Jorge Martínez López (@jorgeml) reported from London, England

    @JamesJWalsh @virginmedia The people on first line support are there to filter out the most obvious problems (wrong password, equipment not plugged or faulty, etc). Your goal noe is to prove that it's not your fault (device configuration, weak WiFi, etc).

  • czar_nik Dr Nick (@czar_nik) reported from London, England

    .@virginmedia it's now 9 hours plus and still no response. Rubbish service as usual from Virgin

  • citigirly lisa sibley (@citigirly) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Hi my internet is down again tried rebooting but still down and says no issues when done online check? Can you help as wfh so need back ASAP for Monday

  • jorgeml Jorge Martínez López (@jorgeml) reported from London, England

    @JamesJWalsh @virginmedia I used to be a customer before moving to Lewisham and left them because I was getting about 10% of the contracted speed and they were taking months to resolve it. They ended up admitting it was oversubscription.

  • DebsySmith Debs smith (@DebsySmith) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia still have bad single on my mobile? New contract, beginning to wonder why!!! Can you help me pls

  • saschlike Captain Morgan-Evans (@saschlike) reported from London, England

  • waabbaC Waqas Abbasi (@waabbaC) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia can someone please contact me, I have had no BB service since Friday. I’m extremely disappointed with ur customer service. I have been trying to get hold off someone from ur customer service since last two weeks with no luck. Your chat bots are useless. #virginmedia

  • KikassP CazkikassPhotography (@KikassP) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia thanks on behalf of all virgin media customers for not being able to pick up phones to help those who need help but have no wish to "Do it on line" we haven't received any compensation for 3 days of no net even though we have registered it everyday. PART ONE

  • jorgeml Jorge Martínez López (@jorgeml) reported from London, England

    @JamesJWalsh @virginmedia The router has a couple of pages that are useful, one has the logs (check the error timestamp matches when your connection went down). There is also a more technical page that shows the uplink / downlink channels, have a look and check there is some voltage on them.

  • jorgeml Jorge Martínez López (@jorgeml) reported from London, England

    @JamesJWalsh @virginmedia Don't mention the word WiFi, your problem is the WAN connection. Plug you laptop via the LAN cable when testing / calling them.

  • jorgeml Jorge Martínez López (@jorgeml) reported from London, England

    @JamesJWalsh @virginmedia That's to discard physical problems with your cable.

  • TonyRoddUK Tony Rodd (@TonyRoddUK) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia It's finally working but says there's an intermittant error on the network. No option to get it fixed though. Anything that can be done?

  • maharrison Mark Harrison (@maharrison) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia I have continually tried to call, your wait times are really unacceptable, anyway I have also opted for the text service, however no text received. I am losing faith I’ve been waiting since August for some kind of contact from you. Any other options?
