@virginmedia having issues with Wi-Fi at home and your websites including the one on service status checks are not loading? As a result I can’t even report the problem.

@virginmedia Dear ‘RP,’ I find your tone unacceptable. I don’t care how many times you’ve had to repeat the statement; customers are paying for a service they’ve not been getting, so dial down your level of obnoxiousness please.

@virginmedia a customer of yours for years. Had a cpi increase letter to say leave with out penalty. Competitor massively cheaper than you for faster speeds. Only to be told by a colleague I have to pay £110 to leave today?

Hey, ‘RP,’ again, @virginmedia is down. The lack of resilience is shocking and embarrassing for a major broadband provider. #VirginMediaDown #VirginMedia

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

@virginmedia Hi. The team have also said that the issue isn’t resolved though? Everything has been reset multiple times this morning and still the same issue.

It looks like @virginmedia name servers are not accessible so no DNS records can be resolved. A major outage for their services. Seems to be no comms from them. @BBCNews are you aware? #VirginMediaDown #VirginMedia

@virginmedia Internet has been down again for the whole night. When I spoke to you about the recent last 6 times it’s been down you said there was no issue! Looks like whole of UK was down now yet our bills go UP & UP & UP! #virginmedia

Their online complaints form doesn’t load. I have requested to be put through to the customer care team on the phone and been refused. All I have left is sending a complaint by post at this point. Are we in the 1920s, @virginmedia ?

@MrDecen17228904 @virginmedia Any resolution to this? Having the exact same issue with Virgin

(@emi_lou1) reported
@virginmedia Well looks like Virgin will be losing a new customer before they've even had Internet installed. And all because you won't assist in getting a time scheduled for groundworks. At least we now know to avoid due to poor customer service and assistance

@virginmedia But also your colleagues need to have product knowledge. Trying to tell me my superhub 3 is having Wi-Fi issues (whilst it is in modem mode) doesn’t fill me with confidence
