Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • melodiouscode melodiouscode (@melodiouscode) reported

    . @virginmedia your customer service staff really are a joke. Instructing me to factory reset my hub for the third time this week "to reset my account" due to internet dropouts. Staff need to be taught basics of how systems work; sync failures in logs indicate a downstream issue.

  • Truthseeker_925 Truth seeker (@Truthseeker_925) reported

    @virginmedia Just outside our house virgin engineer was at the box n he said I should call n get new hub as many neighborhood got same issue.

  • ChrissyMcCouid Christina McCouid (@ChrissyMcCouid) reported

    @virginmedia Why is it impossible to reset a password for myvirginmedia? Can I get some help please, don't have time to sit for hours on hold when ringing.

  • rachbutcher Rachel Butcher (@rachbutcher) reported

    @virginmedia I've spoken to someone on chat but I felt like I was talking to an automated response service rather than someone who understood my concerns. I still don't understand why Virgin sold me an installation slot they knew they didn't have local authority permission for.

  • PunkDavy TwitchyDavy (@PunkDavy) reported

    @virginmedia I put a complaint forward last week and was told a manager would contact me within 48 hours still waiting..

  • katiee_ll Katie ✨ (@katiee_ll) reported

    @virginmedia Because the wifi doesn’t reach upstairs in a semi detached house. She said there was an issue that she could see. You are sending an engineer tomorrow so I hope it will be resolved.

  • jo55adams jo (@jo55adams) reported

    @virginmedia is virgin service down in brighton ?

  • dodon100 donnaharrison (@dodon100) reported

    @virginmedia To install broadband/phone/TV following a move, has now spent 2 nights without means to contact anyone if help needed.

  • melodiouscode melodiouscode (@melodiouscode) reported

    @virginmedia So rather than address the childish behaviour of your staff you suggest a customer go and post on forums. Do I get a discount for providing my own customer service?!

  • 59_dai dave wall 🦈💯💙 (@59_dai) reported
