    Hi @virginmedia having constant broadband issues AL1 St Albans. I’ve logged numerous calls and now the text service isn’t responding to me. Internet cuts in and out all day. Was told would be fixed on 13th but now no one is answering the phone. I’ve tried to call again today but

  • Flaminhaystack Antonia (@Flaminhaystack) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I've had engineers round from Virgin media on several occasions. Once I had no Internet for weeks because the engineer wired up the connection to the wrong house outside and I didn't even get a refund for the lack of service.

  • CuttingDawn Dawn Cutting (@CuttingDawn) reported from Bricket Wood, England

    @virginmedia terrible service, I’ve tried calling and online chat to no avail. You’re blaming Covid but surely by now you’ve sorted out working from home or office. I need to speak to you but you avoid all customers!

  • SusanBailey63 Susan Bailey (@SusanBailey63) reported from Stevenage District, England

    @virginmedia what do I have to do to actually be able to communicate with you? Been trying since the beginning of January to no avail - calls unanswered, messages and emails ignored. If I cancel my direct debit today maybe you’ll soon respond 😡

  • kptweetsstuff KP (@kptweetsstuff) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    @virginmedia I did this & the advisor was very rude, I messaged for someone to contact me via your chat function but nobody has

  • KarenGerardi Karen Gerardi (@KarenGerardi) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    @virginmedia television viewing is painful ! Most channels are scrambled . Been a problem on and off for a month. How do we sort !!!!

  • Flaminhaystack Antonia (@Flaminhaystack) reported from London, England

    @jenniseex @bt_uk @virginmedia Yep. I have very poor Internet in my home and pay large prices. Everytime I phone to get it rectified, I'm told there is nothing wrong with the WiFi and my house is the issue. Pathetic. I detest them

  • stephen_j_moran Stephen Moran (@stephen_j_moran) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    @virginmedia All the customer service people I've spoken to (by mobile phone) have been very nice and tried their best with tests and notes on the file etc. The work on cabling seems to be a law into itself and repeatedly tried & fails, as far as I can gather, to though that is only surmise.

  • Halo1975 Simon Hale (@Halo1975) reported from Luton, England

    @virginmedia 2nd day on the trot someone claiming to be from your ‘tech support’ dept. have called our landline no. claiming there’s a problem with our broadband; there’s not, it’s clearly a scam. I’ve a number that they called from to share with you if you like? Can I DM this??

  • harrydotcom_ HK (@harrydotcom_) reported from St Albans, England

    No info from contact centre staff - not able to help and told not getting compensation @virginmedia @MoneyTelegraph text yesterday say resolved, call today to say text sent in error - new resolve date of 18 feb. No explanation. No help. Slow and broadband cutting out.

  • stephen_j_moran Stephen Moran (@stephen_j_moran) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    @virginmedia The local council resurfaced the pavement outside of our front garden wall shortly before these problems arose, so we're wondering if they damaged the cables there. I informed the engineer who came and customer services about that.

  • Aiel_warrior Ash (@Aiel_warrior) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia hi I would like a number that works so I can cancel my contract as I’m baffled tried 0345 454 1111 for the past week and no service hangs up? Can’t email anyone no chat bot!

  • AdahParris Adah Parris (she/her) (@AdahParris) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia wifi outage again in SE London. This has been happening for the last few days but the website service status says there are no issues. What’s happening and when will it be fixed?

  • DanielSSmith DanielSSmith FRSA (@DanielSSmith) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia multiple houses on my street are down but all being told there is no problem and must be with ourselves only. Clearly it's not. Trying to work and home school and can’t today. Se136ew

  • kptweetsstuff KP (@kptweetsstuff) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    @virginmedia My contract hadn’t even started yet! So I will need to cancel

  • stephen_j_moran Stephen Moran (@stephen_j_moran) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    @virginmedia I think it's a standard engineer visit to address the broadband outage. We're hoping it won't lead to another cycle of cabling attempts, although I understand that things have to take their course and hopefully get there in the end.
