    SorachiTim (@PolymathTim) reported from West Bromwich, England

    Zero Internet connectivity from @virginmedia now for pushing 12 hours. Resetting and/or powering down the hub does nothing, the diagnostic and fault tools just go round and around in an ever more boring circle. #LightningSpeedFarce

    Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England

    And just like that my @virginmedia is off again, no internet whatsoever. Embarrassing service from them, very disappointed and frustrated.

  • EvanD
    Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia 2/ Despite that issue being due to a junction connection in the cabinet in the street, the op seems to refuse to look at that and just wants to reboot my router. Also claims it is due to my use of Modem Mode. Is there anyone in the UK I can contact regarding this?

  • jordyanslow1
    jordy (@jordyanslow1) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia any chance of an update regarding the outage in my local area regarding internet connection? It’s been down 2 days straight!

  • _shannonC
    shanny C 🌹 (@_shannonC) reported from Solihull, England

    @LenFPS @virginmedia they don’t care. it only happens 7pm onwards but will happen until the next morning so I can’t stream or anything. and they’re telling me to write on a forum as if that will fix it😤

  • stumccullagh
    Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Solihull, England

    @Ofcom can I complain about @virginmedia to yourselves? Had no TV service for nearly a month with no help.

  • SusieWJr
    Susan Johnson (@SusieWJr) reported from Swindon, England

    @virginmedia @ste1984r But YOU say 'intermittent' loss when it isn't. It's FULL loss of service. And to only compensate after 2 days is crazy.

    @virginmedia Rebooted several times. Wi-Fi works fine, it’s just the VPN. Automated message says there’s still an issue.

    @virginmedia its nice you’re offering new customers ridiculously cheap deals but charging prices through the roof for an inferior service for a customer of nearly 20 years #CostOfLivingCrisis

    @virginmedia Hi, I have now tried unsuccessfully for 12 hours to use the WhatsApp service as again it goes around in circles if I am not immediately available. The number you helpfully provided hangs up after sending a link… please advise how I talk to someone about my account.

    @virginmedia how am I supposed to book an engineer? There are issues with the quick start installation I have and need an engineer to set it up for me

  • stumccullagh
    Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia But when a contract is agreed like a mortgage or a fixed energy deal surely the agreement should last the full term. I’ve had issues since September & been told I can’t leave due to being under a contract so why should my costs go up when I’ve got an agreement in place until Dec

    @virginmedia First thing this morning you said the outage in my area (22) would continue for another week,then another message saying it would be fixed today, and now a message saying it'll be a week again. Is there a playbook you guys are using to wind up its customers?

    @virginmedia Broadband down since 7am this morning. With a secluded repair date of 2days from now! ‘Register of loss of service In Order to receive compensation’ impossible to locate on your app or any of your web pages? Yet a Price increase this month! Absolutely Shameful!!

    Kris Coates (@FyldesHardest) reported

    @virginmedia please train your staff to do their job and not waste two hours of my time messaging three agents only for them not to resolve an issue. I just want to cancel, it's that simple.

    Alan Cripps (@cripps_alan) reported

    @virginmedia do you ever listen to to your own customer service recorded messages ? They are awful ! Totally unclear what we are expected to do to restart service ! . And why does your customer service team not start until 8am when they are based in India ? Makes no sense

    @footballontnt is there an issue with streaming of Porto v NFFC? Quality on Virgin TV is awful @virginmedia

  • AlloquiStrix
    Alloqui Strix (@AlloquiStrix) reported

    An in-place upgrade which is causing a 10 day outage - pretty awful planning @virginmedia. And telling us it would be fixed in 1 day, then 2 days, then 4 days, then 3 days, then 4 days, then 10 days - is a bit of a joke.
