Been with @virginmedia 5 weeks & it’s been issue after issue & this is last straw. Service levels are appalling. contacted BT & coming to install Fibre & then it’s goodbye.

Respect to the engineers @virginmedia Consistently maintaining such a complex network is a tough job, especially at a time of exceptional demand. Whingeing the instant something as advanced as an internet network goes wrong is such a self-regarding 1st World problem. Shame on us

@AsadMoghal @virginmedia That’s of course if you get a reply from a genuine account . Lots of scammer accounts reply to Vm complaint tweets - because there are so very many online complaints #virginmediadown

@virginmedia I rang back until the office was open. Router being changed (after reporting problems for several months) My tweet was to say it'd be good if the answerphone message gave the Opening time so people know when to call back...

@MylesWardenOwen @richardbranson @virginmedia Virgin media has been going down for years. When I was with virgin my internet was constantly down, at least once a month. Change, they are crap.

@virginmedia as a key worker, delivering Teams lessons online, I would expect any broadband issues to be responded to immediately. Sadly, this has not been the case; despite repeated complaints about the broadband dropping out mid lesson, you have not resolved the issue.

@virginmedia No change. This has been going on for weeks and each time we call, we are fobbed off - no one seems to want to help.

@virginmedia What a surprise had internet from midnight and now it has stopped again. Waiting to get through to support and on hold safe for 30 minutes. You must be making a fortune on people calling.

@virginmedia Thank you. It’s back. It really must be possible to give faster and better information when an outage is so widespread. 4 hours to admit the problem. No indication of coverage, cause or duration.

@jmc_what @virginmedia I’ve just got through and they say there’s a problem with my hub, which I question as I’m in London and there are loads with Virgin internet issues.

@virginmedia @virginmedia im getting really fed up with your poor customer service. You keep contacting me asking for you media box back since I cancelled my contract. You have failed to send me the special package to put it in, you have called me several times and passed me around, 1/2

@virginmedia Was a while back. We've reset before but never seems to make much difference. Can do so now though

(@Avenelle5) reported
@virginmedia No joy. Automated voice sent us to the test you advised. We've checked it 3 times. It just goes into a loop/repeat then cuts off. So, the automated voice said we'll get an engineer, but no advice how to as you get cut off. Say the hubs not connected, but it's clearly broken.

@virginmedia Both (wireless and wired) My area is down. Is there any way I can get compensated for the loss of service?
-

(@artisan68) reported
Why are @virginmedia unable to deduct the credit which they have been promising for the last three months? Each time, we're told it's in the offing, but it never materialises. Complaints procedure is useless

(@AshleyJSheridan) reported
@virginmedia DownDetector isn't accurate? But your status page that never reports issues that affect myself and people on my road using your service is perfectly accurate is it? Your status page that didn't even report a 3 day planned maintenance outage last year is accurate is it?

@virginmedia Wired is fine generally. The WiFi is fine in most parts of the house, there's just a couple of spots where I can't get a signal and one of them is our bedroom which gets pretty frustrating.

@virginmedia Doesn’t get me any internet now though does it. Why should I pay for a service that I’m not getting!

Ashley Sheridan
(@AshleyJSheridan) reported
@virginmedia Which brings us nicely to the other point. Why did I get 3 separate emails "advising" me how to best position my devices to get best wifi signal, when my *wired" computer had the problem as well? Your company line is to always blame the customer and never admit fault.

@virginmedia So, we need an engineer, tomorrow to fix this. But no way of speaking to anyone or arranging this. If it's not fixed by tomorrow evening we will be going elsewhere.
