    @virginmedia Yes, it’s showing issues but we are still being treated like this is a new issue with no history. 😩

  • bendog90
    Ben Shaw (@bendog90) reported from Shenley, England

    @virginmedia your business is great when things are working, however I have had terrible service for the last 24 hours- no broadband and differing explanations as to the reason- no follow up and still no connection.. very frustrated this morning as I can’t attend online meetings

    @virginmedia Been a long term customer of Virginmedia and recently renewed contract along with O2 mobile but customer services has gone downhill. Having issues with Wi-Fi,phoned again today and was told technical support will call me by 1:30pm, but no one has bothered.

  • seanhannam
    seanhannam (@seanhannam) reported from Chesham Bois, England

    @virginmedia Why should we call up again for the ninth time? We’re a ‘priority customer.’ You should be calling us and making amends.I’m a consumer tech journalist with 25 years’ experience. Your customer service is the worst I’ve ever encountered. You simply don’t care about your customers.

    🦒🤓TimmyLDN🙄🇬🇧🇪🇺🇺🇦🏳️‍🌈🦒 (@TimmyLDN) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia Yes at £37 when as a new customer I could get it for £25. I am happy to stick at the £32 but you are not willing to match.

  • spandya1

    @virginmedia is there a problem impacting broadband in wd17? Services dropped suddenly at around 1:30-1:45pm today.

  • U2Gorilla
    Snatch (@U2Gorilla) reported from Southall, England

    Possibly the worst service Iv ever experience by @virginmedia signed up to a new contract on 4/08/22. Installation engineer was due today, no contact from virgin. called call centre on the phone for 56min multiple transfers asked to redo everything including provide bank details

    Dear @virginmedia & @VirginMediaCC A day to forget, wasn’t it? All day problems with my internet connections. Thousands of people affected. In my case, I needed the internet to work and it seems like that the issue was resolved this afternoon. How can I claim compensation?

  • Griffo2018
    RICHARD GRIFFITHS (@Griffo2018) reported from London Colney, England

    @virginmedia Now I am told they will send me a new hub as they do think I have problems T the house . That’s why VM booked a engineer it was not me who did it . Time will tell if the goal post moves again today

  • Michael73942063
    Michael Butler (@Michael73942063) reported from Welwyn Garden City, England

    @virginmedia @LutzSchueler please help me here i am an O2 monthly paying customer , I’ve had a virgin email address for over 23 years and they just closed it no notice , or warnings and your team hides behind a policy that didn’t exist when i first got my virgin email address

    @SilentMugger @virginmedia It's been over 24 hours now and I've now been told it will be 10am tomorrow. I'm in North London, not in the wilderness. Its shocking that there's no Internet in the city. Maybe there service is getting worse.

  • jtdavies
    John T Davies 💙🇺🇦💛 (@jtdavies) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia We had issues last month, a nice engineer came (Mohamed) and said it was a local problem. I reported it on the phone again on Tuesday (Aqeelah), she said there are local problems (again). I fed up wit this, it’s been a week of impossible internet, day and night!

  • Fatty_Koo91

    How can it be called Virgin Media when it goes down so much??? #VirginMediaDown

  • Mrspdyer
    Peggy Dyer (@Mrspdyer) reported from Barnet, England

    @rachel_uk_ @virginmedia Feel your frustration. 2 promised callbacks never happened,web complaint form doesn’t work. No email address for complaints. Sent letter of complaint 28/09z No response despite website saying I’d get one within 48 hours. Virgin do not care about customers.

  • spandya1
    Sandeep Pandya (@spandya1) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    @virginmedia If you remember I told you that it was likely that work occurring at the cabinet in our street caused our issue. The engineer visited and fixed the issue caused by that work. So, it was an engineer/maintenance caused issue.

  • gemmak500
    ᒍᗩᑎE (@gemmak500) reported from Chesham Bois, England

    When you’re trying to upload and synch 20gb of wedding photos via a 4g hotspot because your @virginmedia broadband has been down for days on end with useless customer service and you have a deadline. It’s never ending! 😩 #virginmedia #custometservicefail #fail

  • seanhannam
    seanhannam (@seanhannam) reported from Chesham Bois, England

    Didn’t realised upgrading our @virginmedia internet would cripple my home office. Wireless @HP printer can’t find the network and I have to get new boosters for the other rooms in the house. So frustrating - I’ve wasted so much time trying to sort it all out. To no avail.

    anyone else’s virgin media down?

  • spandya1
    Sandeep Pandya (@spandya1) reported from Croxley Green, England

    @virginmedia An engineer came today. Issue resolved. If you remember I told you that it was highly probable that work being performed at a cabinet on our street may have resulted in our issue. I also told your telephone support team. That’s exactly what had happened. Appalling service.

    @virginmedia any chance of a stable service?!?

    Cububo (@pokerchamp_Cbbo) reported

    @koenjideck Only worked well for me in recent years, but it gave me a decade of packet loss and outages before then 😵‍💫 I remember playing games with people on my street at uni, and half the people would disconnect in a lobby whenever Virgin Media had an outage 🥀

  • Raphas_Angel_
    Emma-Leanne 💓’s Rapha (@Raphas_Angel_) reported

    Last night I decided to join @virginmedia again via a virgin media assistant who was already in my area setting up for someone else, just one problem, he accidentally put my contract under “Mr” instead of “Mrs” how can I change it myself?

  • ruthmpayne
    Ruth Payne (@ruthmpayne) reported

    @TelfordMemories @virginmedia We’ve had no WiFi whatsoever for the past 48 hours now in Birmingham B16, awful customer service from the call centre too!

  • JMohammed84845
    JayMo (@JMohammed84845) reported

    @youfibre These guys begged me to leave virgin media and now providing a substandard service, I'm calling out Qasim Mughal, I'm paying more fo a slower speed. I'm. Sorry virgin media can I come back!

  • dollynoocat
    Dollynoocat (@dollynoocat) reported

    To the engineer in the ML4 3EZ area.... lovely man. My complaint had been composed. he changed my mind. Sometimes we don't see someone working from 7am to get things sorted #virginmedia

  • MikeModelsky
    Michael “Mecha” Modelsky (@MikeModelsky) reported

    Is anyone else on @O2 finding that since the @virginmedia team up the service is horrendous, has taken my partner seven weeks to get their account unlocked, no it’s been unlocked. They can’t pay their bill due to an insecure website issue and too many redirects.

  • AlloquiStrix
    Alloqui Strix (@AlloquiStrix) reported

    @virginmedia First thing this morning you said the outage in my area (22) would continue for another week,then another message saying it would be fixed today, and now a message saying it'll be a week again. Is there a playbook you guys are using to wind up its customers?

  • ConnorH_20
    Connor (@ConnorH_20) reported

    @virginmedia Intermittent signal in your area for days now. Keep disconnecting and connecting, and extremely laggy. Awful Broadband.

  • PaddyMc_06
    Patrick McNamara (@PaddyMc_06) reported

    @virginmedia I’m trying to get ahold of you but your phone service is on a loop. Tell me why you have not carried over my parents landline of over 40 years as requested and confimed. This needs to be fixed ASAP for very impotent specific reasons. Please get in touch to sort this!

    Aaron Hudson (@AaronHudsonUK) reported

    @virginmedia @TelfordMemories Mine went down last night and despite it coming back on today the speed right now is 146mbps when I pay for a gig.
