    @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.

  • 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!!!!

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

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

    @virginmedia @fawizium Impossible to contact anyone through phone, absolutely dreadful service as per usual. How do you sleep at night? £105.75 this month 🤬🤬

  • 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

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia Seems its all over the area. Dozens of posts on local SM pages, people without service since late last night. Can't wait to change providers, to a company that actually supply what I pay for

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia No They did line tests Said it was fine Told me was my phone After 3 different handsets all different makes/models I highly doubt it was that Last I heard an engineer was coming Never showed! Lost the will to argue anymore Will just change providers instead

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

    Virgin media and there forever crap and diabolical service they provide ! Do an update on your crap

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • AnneWebb777 Anne Webb (@AnneWebb777) 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 🤬🤬

  • 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.

    @ConorRuth Another evening like that from Selby tomorrow and next years World Championships are going to be screened on Virgin Media Sports 11. It’s like an bad nil all in Ferrycarrig.

  • Wesbo Wesbo (@Wesbo) reported

    @paulasheperd @virginmedia Point in case is the one that has Just fixed itself as I was typing my previous tweet. It defies logic. Will now have to call Virgin tomorrow and wait at least an hour before I can cancel engineer. Fun Times.

  • platinumpete35 GRIZZLY VAPER REVIEWS (@platinumpete35) reported

    @sofieboo10 @virginmedia Remember, this is a civil matter you employ them to provide a service. As you said you were moving and you wished to stay with them. It therfore lies with them to also provide a service where ever you reside. They're braking T&C's of contract. Plus you are employing them

  • SimAWright Simon Wright (@SimAWright) reported

    @virginmedia having serious problems with your mobile site when trying to checkout. Was trying to get a pay monthly iPad Air + Smart Keyboard. Every time I try, at various stages of checkout an "Ajax error" pops up, then the ends up in a redirect loop and I can't do a thing

  • B42Will willB42 (@B42Will) reported

    @virginmedia ******* bunch off clowns hope your company goes bust and you all die your WiFi is ****

  • shadowclarkie13 Deborah Howkins (@shadowclarkie13) reported

    @virginmedia Finally got a response after using text service. Was waiting in text queue since Thursday. Got sorted on Sunday. Thanks

  • MaryRSaunders Mary Saunders (@MaryRSaunders) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve just called and it says there are no issues. Our internet cuts in and out constantly. It’s been doing it for weeks now. The engineer reset our router, but that didn’t help. I called him a week later and he told me it’s a city wide issue

  • mranitshah Anit (@mranitshah) reported

    @virginmedia very disappointed with Virginmedia they over charged me last month. After doing online chat 2nd time they said will be resolved this month they have overcharged me again. Very angry with the service I am getting. Ripping me off

  • streetspectre Streetspectre (@streetspectre) reported

    @virginmedia #complaint #virginmedia My speeds are like I’m using a dial-up modem. It has been bad all week, over this w/e are terrible in London N6. Connection keeps cutting out. I have checked wires and rebooted. Awful, awful service for the high cost.

  • bittertwisted1 darren miller (@bittertwisted1) reported

    @virginmedia I don’t use wired devices as never needed to, but since you increased the speed this has happened, I have spoke to the team several times and get nowhere and always spend 45 mins plus in the phone and get nowhere
