  • AnneWebb777 Anne Webb (@AnneWebb777) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia what the hell is wrong with your system. Impossible to report a fault! No contact available just going round in circles. Landline not worked for a week now 🤬 you really are the pits, can’t even cancel this crappy service £109.75 paid this month!!!!

  • indiointernet Brian Roe (@indiointernet) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia getting somewhat irked at the constant failure in the delivery of your services. And please don't apologise, it won't fix the broadband issue. You are now costing me money. This is not ideal. It's time for me to find a company that can deliver reliable broadband.

  • AnneWebb777 Anne Webb (@AnneWebb777) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia @KikeKD 150 NOT WORKING FROM ANY PHONE

  • dizzymabil ydnam (@dizzymabil) reported from Sompting, England

  • GreyAmbition TheGreyAmbition (@GreyAmbition) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia no landline for weeks and impossible to report. Sick of your company. Can’t even get through to CANCEL contract £105.75 this month maybe you will get in touch if I cancel next payment 🤬🤬

  • dizzymabil ydnam (@dizzymabil) reported from Sompting, England

    @virginmedia It started as the phone ringing, at all hours day & night, but no one on other end. Then people ringing me on my mobile as wasn't answering landline I was home Phone hadn't rung Trying to call out & unable Changed handset Same problem.

  • AnneWebb777 Anne Webb (@AnneWebb777) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Tried it several times - it says there are no issues. Our phone can’t ring out, constant sound of a message being there (intermittent beep) but nothing happens when trying to use it. People can’t hear us when we answer. Bought brand new phones and still the same.

  • indiointernet Brian Roe (@indiointernet) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Call you...? How do you think I found out about the issues? I wasted hours on the phone calling the numbers you have quoted. Give me strength.

  • scotthortop Scott Hortop (@scotthortop) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia All your cable services are down right now, but can you explain why I can't access the programs recorded on the hard drive my virgin box? That makes no sense...

  • GreyAmbition TheGreyAmbition (@GreyAmbition) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    9pm again at 11pm! so not only has the tv gone down it’s now the internet decides to go down. So sick of it! Does anyone in brighton have good internet connection ?- and if so give me names as I can’t deal with the poor service I get any longer @virginmedia @SkyUK someone help

  • indiointernet Brian Roe (@indiointernet) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    Thank you @virginmedia you are yet again delivering an unacceptable service! Broadband intermittent, cant work, nothing on a status update, yet an apology on front of the phone message. I've had better connectivity in a Sri Lankan jungle.

  • AnneWebb777 Anne Webb (@AnneWebb777) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia @briamjam Here to help??? Is this a joke?

  • dizzymabil ydnam (@dizzymabil) reported from Sompting, England

    @virginmedia It's OK. I'll leave it Last call cost me over £8 & I didn't even get to speak to anyone. Ridiculously poor support

  • scotthortop Scott Hortop (@scotthortop) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia I thought as much. I have never received such a call before - It is as if they were targeting telephone numbers affected by yesterdays outage.

  • fabsalva Fabrizio Salvatore (@fabsalva) reported from Woodingdean, England

    @virginmedia is there a known issue in the BN2 6 area of Brighton with your broadband? Crashed at 14:30 and hub seems to be unable to rejoin the network...

  • AnneWebb777 Anne Webb (@AnneWebb777) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia That doesn’t help@if I can’t join the forum is it?? How does anyone get through to someone who CAN do something??

  • pwvoiceovers Patrick Woodward (@pwvoiceovers) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia You asked me to contact you to fix an issue but there are no options to do so. Phone number, when I found it, just led to a bot. Poor service.

  • scotthortop Scott Hortop (@scotthortop) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Yes, everything seems to be working now. However, I have just received a call from Virgin Media, or someone purporting to be you, telling me that I had poor broadband performance , and I needed to sit in front of my laptop to fix it. I soon hung up, getting the wrong vibes.

    .@virginmedia I'm having real problems getting through to your customer service again. The online chat agent didn't have sufficient authority to deal with my issue & when I phone 150 the call keeps dropping out after ~3 mins.Could I arrange a time for someone to phone me instead?

  • DarrenDilliway Darren (@DarrenDilliway) reported

  • Ed6114 Ed61 (@Ed6114) reported

    @virginmedia That would be useful if I could actually read the pages on my phone but all the stuff at the bottom of the page covers the messages. The whole experience with Virginmedia is crap. Your service, you fix it. No I have to spend hours, days, weeks trying to do it for you.

  • harryepoole Harry Poole (@harryepoole) reported

    @virginmedia Internet is still really slow. Not bothered trying to phone again as it’s a waste of time

    @virginmedia Your broadband stopped working in London W14 on Wed night and still not working. Cell centre folks said there’s a problem in this area and should be fixed by noon, then by 4pm and still not working. When are you going to fix the problem?
