@____________jkg @harerik @virginmedia You have a backup hub that you can route traffic too if one is down. In a business environment this is standard practice. If Virgin want to just be a home TV provider, fine. But if they want to sell services to schools, other public services and business things need to change.

I thought the design of the internet provided redundancy but @virginmedia seem to have relied on one point for all of SW London. One broken cable kills TV, broadband and phone. Time to move provider.

I cannot believe we are still without a service @virginmedia in SW London. Please give us a sensible update - it is the least that can be expected after 3DAYS of no service. It is an utter disgrace. Already looking for a new provider #virginmediadown @Ofcom

@smittyonline @virginmedia Virgin Media has been down in Richmond upon Thames since 9am Thursday 19th December. Over 2 days now at the busiest and most needed time of year. No Internet, phone, TV or customer service information. Shocking

@Mumma_haley35 @virginmedia Sounds that way. Unfortunately @ThreeUK seem to be having issues in KT2 as well, so even my 4G isn’t working very well on my phone. Telco needs to move into the modern world of customer service, maybe @Ofcom need to change their regulations.

@telnetport25com @EdwardJDavey @virginmedia Ed likes to campaign for populist issues with no success, so don’t hold your breath. Virgin media is his current target after failing with his SWR campaign. South of the Borough lost faith in him!

@JockItch96 @virginmedia Don’t know how many times I’ve told you mate, the worst company in the world. When I cancelled them they carried on trying to take money then put a black mark on my credit file for non payment. Wouldn’t use them if they were the only choice!! Go Sky!!

Appalled by lack of response from @VirginMediaCorp @virginmedia to me, colleagues & most importantly thousands of customers struggling without broadband, phone or TV for at least 2 days. Lack of info and misleading fix times unacceptable. An urgent case for @Ofcom to investigate

@virginmedia No TV, broadband or telephone service in SW London for three days. No management explanation or remedy. Disgraceful performance. Very concerned for elderly and small businesses in #Wimbledon. @S_Hammond

@janeillustrates @bristolboudicca @VirginMediaCorp @virginmedia @Ofcom If she receives any care support, the agency ought to be checking up on her more regularly. That doesn't help with the isolation of no TV though.

Still no TV, phone or internet in TW11 since Thursday morning. Their website is showing no known issues in the area! What an incompetent and disgraceful company @virginmedia

@harerik @virginmedia They sell a business class service to businesses, schools and all manor of other organisations. They should be able in emergency to reroute traffic around a problem like this in minutes or hours, max..... #virginmediadown

@virginmedia There is a yellow light on my router. I’ve done everything required. It’s been reset multiple times today. Can we also address my slow speeds? I’m paying to get 350 download, I’m never anywhere near that.

@mouthwaite @virginmedia My son has called them twice and in total has been on hold 2 and a half hours to cancel his contract. He still hasn’t managed to get through. It’s the only way you can contact them...shocking service @virginmedia thank goodness I’m with Sky!

So after waiting for my reply to my complaint to @virginmedia I received a letter to tell me to "fix it yourself".. dont know whether to laugh or cry 🙈 that's it then, @SkyUK it is.

@virginmedia Thanks. How can you check the services via the forum? If I do it, I assume it won't help if by account name? Diane is so fed up she just wants to leave VM, and isn't confident enough with the tech to start writing on the forum, but the phone help when she got through was useless

@virginmedia Yes, I did it about 30min ago. Now I can see VM networks listed in the available Wifi networks on my devices, but it says 'Internet may not be available. Connect to another network.'

@virginmedia Hi, I've called several times since and used the text message. Can't get through to anyone. I need to cancel my service before I move out in three weeks. Is there no way I can do this over email?
