  • 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.

    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?

  • JammieBun
    James Brown (@JammieBun) reported from Hillingdon, England

    Hi @virginmedia. I’ve tried phoning you with a complaint, but the calls get shunted into weblink hell. I’ve submitted two complaints through your site which have mysteriously disappeared from my account. And on Twitter the links you send for an online chat only ever lead …

    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!?

  • StrummerJonny
    Jonny Paul (@StrummerJonny) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia is there any point, why not just give up? #virginbroadband down again, x4/2 days and at least once a month you are guaranteed #broadband #outage

    @virginmedialife @virginmedia The worst service from any company I have ever used. I would like to be removed from your business accounts.

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

    @virginmedia Finally sent letter on 28 September and on checking my account realised you’ve got wrong email address attached to complaint file. Funnily enough you have correct email address for sending bills. 3/

    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.

  • 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 […]

    David Renton (@david_renty) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia bit of a pain that if you want to cancel a new connection on a weekend then the first line cancellation don't seem to know you can't do this...

  • paulstevenlewis
    Paul Lewis (@paulstevenlewis) reported from Mill Hill East, England

    @virginmedia So you cancel the service months if not years before the 4G replacement is a really extensive alternative, while increasing your prices and telling customers “sorry, but that’s tough”. I understand your team is just at the sharp end dealing with flack, but that’s really bad of VM

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

    @virginmedia Is this how you treat your ‘priority customers?’ During a cost of living crisis, we have chosen to stay with you, yet you can’t pull your finger out to look after your customers. I work from home but can’t fully use the service I’m paying for due to your incompetence.

  • 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

  • LinkedinMac
    Mac Laubscher (@LinkedinMac) reported from Bushey Heath, England

    @virginmedia any idea why services are down across the board in WD23 postcode area?

  • 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

    seanhannam (@seanhannam) reported from Chesham Bois, England

    @MikeCoxCowes @virginmedia @HP What hope is there for the smart home when even a wireless printer needs reconfiguring after a simple wi-fi network change?

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

    And it's down again. #virginmedia

    @virginmedia I’m still stuck. No one answering the phone - my internet is down and I can’t get any service .. really need one of your service team to call me please on 07850 647 490

    And another day has gone by with no landline service from #virginmedia in this part of Harrow HA1 and still the same recorded message saying they've found the problem and are working on it. @virginmedia
