    @virginmedia can you confirm if there's an outage in my area (area code 21)?

  • dip2ooo
    Dipak (@dip2ooo) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    @Gusubeda @virginmedia My broadband is also down HA7 0800 status number keep telling me there's no problem in the area

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

    @virginmedia To be honest you probably can’t, I’ve been this route often previously and nothing changes. Made to jump thru the same basic hoops time & again by staff members who don’t understand the systems, it’s a perpetual, frustrating loop. Still my service is dreadful.

  • angelstorm13
    Ella A Cutler (@angelstorm13) reported from Welwyn Hatfield, England

    And it's down again. #virginmedia

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

    @virginmedia We’ve spoken to eight people to try and resolve our internet issues.We’ve ordered new boosters because the new service isn’t compatible with the old ones.We’re a ‘priority customer’ - the new boosters still haven’t arrived…So frustrating. Your service is appalling.

  • 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.

  • TimmyLDN
    🦒🤓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
    Sandeep Pandya (@spandya1) reported from Watford District, England

    Called @virginmedia , now a technician booked. Outages are now common, there’s little communication from @virginmedia on actual status, even the service status page is usually out of date and the call centre staff admitted to me they don’t know what’s going on.

  • 1SLToo
    Andy (@1SLToo) reported from Rickmansworth, England

    Merry Christmas to all at @virginmedia who have left all of us in WD3 area with no TV or Internet for over a week (predicted) and probably longer over the entire festive period, moving to sky in the new year due to your continuing rubbish service and customer service

  • yessibelloperez
    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.

  • ThomasPirouet
    Thomas Pirouet (@ThomasPirouet) reported from Chesham Bois, England

    @virginmedia is everything ok with the network today? Router has been flashing red on and off all morning, really intermittent connection however nothing shown on the service checker. Done the usual unplugging of the router, checked cables etc however still flashing red, then…

  • MarkGRyan
    Mark Ryan (@MarkGRyan) reported from Ealing, England

    Once again @virginmedia let us down with internet in W13 area ... not a good service at all

  • vijayjois
    Vijay Jois (@vijayjois) reported from Mill Hill East, England

    @virginmedia what is the problem with #broadband this morning?

  • yessibelloperez
    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.

  • PaulswainDJ
    Paul Swain (@PaulswainDJ) reported from Kings Langley, England

    @virginmedia I’ve given up for tonight. I’m struggling to deal with a company that has lied on record and taken money wrongfully out of my account. @MartinSLewis help!

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia @mundaytom Not true. No response to complaint letter sent August and when we’ve rung “manager will call you in 3-5 days”. Been told that 3 times. Not one callback. Shambles.

  • brobbo55
    robbo (@brobbo55) reported from St Albans, England

    @virginmedia sort out the wifi in AL4. Been down two days now joke of a provider

  • MarchetF
    Francesco Marchet (@MarchetF) reported from Brentford, England

    @virginmedia how do I get in contact with you? My appointments have been cancelled twice now. Such a poor service!

  • PaulswainDJ
    Paul Swain (@PaulswainDJ) reported from Kings Langley, England

    @virginmedia An ongoing account issue. All I’m trying to do is sort it out. Your staff accepted my call today and then hung up after 17 minutes of hold time.
