    @virginmedia Wi-Fi is SO BAD. I’ve check service status online it says it’s fine but I hasn’t been working for 2 hours now. Wtf is you lot doing. It’s been disturbing for weeks now too.

  • yessibelloperez

    @virginmedia Not good enough! I would believe you if this was the first time it happened but I am not paying £53.75 a month for this awful service and unreliable service… not when there are plenty of providers offering more for less.

  • yessibelloperez
    Yessi Bello-Perez (@yessibelloperez) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia I’m afraid not. I did ask to speak to a supervisor/manager and they said they would submit this request. My question is: is there actually a fault or is this an ongoing issue? It seems to be the latter, tbh.

    @virginmedia Whats is happening ?? Been put in a queue only to have the CV phone put down on me twice without even talking to an operator ? What do I need to do to speak to someone??

    Yessi Bello-Perez (@yessibelloperez) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia Yep, not good enough. What’s the issue? Why does it keep happening and what are you doing about it? And how are you compensating customers?

    @Charlie_A_Gee @virginmedia They don’t give a damn, they’re virtually a monopoly, Ditch them and go to sky.

    Yessi Bello-Perez (@yessibelloperez) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia Thanks, John. No they didn’t confirm. All they said was that the issue *might* be fixed by August 2nd, which as you can imagine is far from ideal. Meanwhile, I’m also being charged a full month despite not having a reliable connection for over a week.

  • DrewSalisbury5
    Drew Salisbury (@DrewSalisbury5) reported from Barnet, England

    [1] @virginmedia I have not had access to WiFi for a couple of days now. I have checked the cables, rebooted the Hub and run the final diagnostic tests several times. Still nothing. On the one hand, your system tells me that there is a wider broadband issue in the area and […]

    Yessi Bello-Perez (@yessibelloperez) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia Once again, your status checker says there’s nothing wrong but I have just called the number provided and was told by an automated messaging say your engineers are working to resolve a very complex issue. This is the second time in less than a month.

  • gashead
    Alistair 🏴‍☠️ Burns (@gashead) reported from Hatfield, England

    Used to tell my colleagues on @virginmedia to switch to @BT to overcome reliability issues. Moved house and little choice to pick Virgin. No internet or TV for 7 days, fix due by 1pm today. Queried at 1.30pm and 6.30pm, assured it would be today, told to relax. Frankie says BS.

  • manan2661

    Hi @virginmedia . My internet has just completely stopped working today and I have restarted my router number out times today without any luck. Can you please help?

  • MisterLeeDaniel
    Mr Lee Daniel (@MisterLeeDaniel) reported from London, England

    Please could @virginmedia on 0330 303 5309 stop calling me, then immediately hanging up. That’s rude. I’ve now blocked your number.

  • NLFG
    Nick Chainey 💙 (@NLFG) reported from Hemel Hempstead, England

    @virginmedia I've tried both of those. I was going to restart the router and see if that made any difference. Appreciate the help 👍🏼

    Yessi Bello-Perez (@yessibelloperez) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia Last time, our wifi was down for over a week. I spoke to an agent on the phone who was utterly useless. You never offer any solutions. I’m starting to think that the only way for you to take any action is if I cancel my DD.

    @virginmedia Another day... another outage in M33. But of course, because it's not 48 hours straight, it means nothing. I work in tech, I understand things go wrong, but when it's this regular surely you can agree that a specific explanation and remediation action should be provided?

  • Garethjones718

    @virginmedia I have no tv or broadband, it all just stopped suddenly at 10:00ish. You service status checker says no issues and to check my equipment.

  • Sami_Dawn
    Sami Westwood 😷 (@Sami_Dawn) reported

    @virginmedia It dropped out a few more times last night and then was not working again when I woke earlier. The on site testing found no issue and sent a signal (?) and I seem to be back up to full speed. Thanks for checking in!

  • lucullus_l
    L. L. Lucullus🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@lucullus_l) reported

    @virginmedia l have been waiting for over 35 days for a full response to a complaint. I have now been kept waiting for over an hour on the chat service to be told to contact the technical team! What sort of service is that? All I want is the broadband service I am paying for!

  • simpsonsarahlou
    Sarah Caple (@simpsonsarahlou) reported

    Credit where its due, after MONTHS of shocking customer service from @virginmedia I managed to finally get my issue resolved today by Megan L, she was a star - you need to invest in more staff like her!

  • theautomaton
    aka (@theautomaton) reported

    @virginmedia Not having service issues! There is NO virgin available in my area? It’s been years now, you have rolled out all over Glasgow, we live in an expensive postcode but we can’t get your services! Why not?

    @virginmedia been trying for 2 weeks to get you to start setup WiFi for our new address, on phone today for 1 and a 1/2 hours no engineer available, no explanation as to when? Been passed to 4 different people each says not their issue. Help?! Just want to cancel our contract now

  • BiddleIan
    citizen of nowhere #wearadamnmask #FBPE (@BiddleIan) reported

    Dear @virginmedia I have now been on the phone waiting for a resolution to my broadband issues for over 1 hour and 30 minutes. During that time I have spoken to someone from less than 4 minutes. really sick of your appalling customer service and poor quality broadband provision

  • Tracy_Barlow
    Tracy (@Tracy_Barlow) reported

    @virginmedia I'm told there is an outage but I don't know anyone else affected near me. On your website it says there are no issues in my area. I'm receiving no updates and have rang seven times, on hold sometimes for hours. How can this take so long? Why isn't it being fixed?
