    @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…

    @virginmedia I think I may have an idea what’s happened to your service in #borehamwood It looks like a kerbside box has been totalled by a drunk driver.

    Absolutely rubbish customer service from @virginmedia @VirginMedia_TV @VirginMediaCorp waiting for over 2 hours, first call the advisor hung up after I asked to speak to his manager and the second advisor CANNOT give me a reference to the call or let me speak to a manager

    ≡xtr≡m≡pcuk 🔜 #i69 🤟 (@ExtremePCUK) reported from Hillingdon, England

    @virginmedia ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE SERVICE! I’ve worked with major computer and ISP’s over my time but by far Virgin Media is the worst! I pay £111 a month and not one person can help. Intermittent internet for a month but they say just wait another week it may be back on!

    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.

    Mustakim. (@Mustxkim) reported from Brentford, England

    @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.

  • IstvanOFatyol
    Oliver Fatyol (@IstvanOFatyol) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia Since w/c 22Aug my wife and I continuously keep checking the service status which gets updated and deadline pushed back. Nobody with virgin has broadband or TV for over 3 weeks now without explanation or a decent update

  • JacobWSmith10
    Jacob Smith (@JacobWSmith10) reported from Camden, England

    @virginmedia @skytv can you please sort out the sky sports app. I cannot login in using my virgin media account. It will not load the password page. I don’t really see why it logs me out periodically in the first place.

  • 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 […]

  • hw_renewe
    Harold Wicks (@hw_renewe) reported from Hemel Hempstead, England

    @virginmedia “Have you checked for any issues in your area” No I have not checked that link. It is intermittent; one minute it is useable and next the internet service is missing; it is regular occurrence, happens almost daily!?

  • 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’ve had REALLY bad connectivity all week. Please can you help? Have reset device to little avail. Ty

  • mmpa4
    Mansukh (@mmpa4) reported from Watford, England

    @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.

    Nataliya Klymko 🇺🇦🇬🇧 (@KlymkoNataliya) reported from Southall, England

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

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

    @virginmedia There is no link. No one appears to know what’s going on and there is no ownership or continuity of help. As the paying customer we are supposed to just wait, lose business and accept the situation.

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

    @virginmedia @dpjohnston10 Complaints procedure is non existent. If you phone, promised call back never happens, webform complaint doesn’t work and hasn’t since at least 28/09. Sent letter 3 wks ago - no response, despite website saying response within 48 hours. Ombudsman here we come.

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

  • 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.

  • brobbo55

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

    @virginmedia I will be cancelling my account anyway after this and subsequent poor service after it

  • alanmonolith
    A.Monolith @alanmonolith@bsky.social (@alanmonolith) reported

    @virginmedia the update time for the ML6 outage remains at 22:06 tonight since the first minute of it being off. Is this just a random time , feels unlikely due to working hours and worry that it’ll drag to tomorrow. Please can I have an update that isn’t check the checker?

  • GeekyHairy
    GeekyHairyBestia (@GeekyHairy) reported

    @virginmedia what the hell. Yet again service down in my area. It’s been consistent the two years I’ve been here but you’re the only option but yet again this week it’s been consistent. It’s clear you can not provide on your network to all houses in area so so it we pay for this

    @virginmedia internet is down in the RH11 area, AGAIN! This service absolutely sucks!

    Tommy Tinkler (@TinklerTommy) reported

    @miss___kb Yep I have used google family and virgin media security whilst kids grew up. You can block anything you want or them and restrict sites and device time and you get to okay anything they install on the device. Most adults as thick as pig **** to use them.

  • RobElliot266
    Robert Elliot (@RobElliot266) reported

    @virginmedia a more than 24 hour outage to TV & Broadband in TW2? Taking at least 7 hours to get an engineer onsite? Not very impressive.

  • SusanChew5
    Susan Chew (@SusanChew5) reported

    @gloucesterglass @virginmedia They are possibly the worst company ever, still no engineer a week later, and one of us works from home. You will definitely find better, you can't get any worse.
