    @virginmedia We are sorry you are still waiting to be connected to one of the team. Our wait times are very high at the moment due to an unprecedented demand to speak to the team & we are experiencing some issues with our internal systems. This may mean a delay in being transferred to one of

    @virginmedia how do I check my virgin status if the status page doesn't work? Is there an outage in GU21 area?

  • pmross
    Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    Dear @VirginMedia, after 3x visits from technicians over 6 months (one of whom LIED about fixing bb/WiFi) I’m now back to no service (48 hours). Yes, tried rebooting, off/on etc, status says everything OK, Called yesterday and there IS an issue. When are you going to fix it?

  • kqbrain
    Khurram Qayam (@kqbrain) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia let me down once again with their pathetic service. First the broadband was extremely slow all day and now the Hub is gone. No emergency appointment and I have to wait for a week for a technician visit. @Ofcom

  • mattrose18
    Matt Rose (@mattrose18) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia Wired and yes. Seems to have stabilised for the time being. Hopefully no more issues

  • pmross
    Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Nope. There’s “nothing wrong” with the broadband according to the status page. Never is. It’s always the hub supposedly downloading updates. 10 weeks of this now, getting a bit bored of the lack of service TBH. This needs to be escalated.

  • mattrose18
    Matt Rose (@mattrose18) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia TV is an issue. broadband is not. Tests are always either cannot connect at this time or say there is nothing wrong. Don’t see how my kit in the house can one minute have speeds on +300Mb to next to nothing?

    Greg Emmerson (@gregemmerson_) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Completed the tests with the app, one room poor coverage

    Pete (@gonnella) reported from Woodley, England

    @mattlintott @NetXL_dot_com Nice 👍🏻 got gig1 from @virginmedia but the upload is awful only 50mbit. Hope it gets increased to at least 100mbit soon.

    @virginmedia @tandcbroking Either a lot of people are checking the service status on the website or that site also not working. Cheers

    @virginmedia Sadly I am not, as I have never any compensation for the lost of my connection, I lost Wi-Fi for about hour yesterday but as normal virgin media are not up holding its guarantee. I an@self-employed and the one thing I rely on is my internet connection.

    @virginmedia It about moving house. As Virgin is unavailable at the new residence and the move is only temporary I was told in two separate calls that I could ‘freeze’ my account and now it’s come to it it seems that I have to keep paying whilst not receiving any service or buy myself out!

    @virginmedia hello. Please could you advise how on earth I get in touch with someone by phone??. I’ve spent 15 mins navigating website to try and get to a person rather than a bot. I need to report an equipment fault which isn’t service specific

    @virginmedia The Wi-Fi hasn’t been working since 1 a.m. It says there’s an outage in the area, but I can’t reach customer service either. There still haven’t been any further updates. There’s no information about when it will be fixed or what’s going on.

    Adam Luxon (@adam_luxon) reported

    @theashrb It isn’t at all and they’ll still think they can get away with it. The government should intervene in this matter to ensure that all public goods cannot outsource their customer service. A few months ago, I had a horrible call with virgin media after my contract finished

    @MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK They are so out of touch it's unreal. I recently had to phone virgin media "bereavement and critical illness line", a relative has terminal cancer, but yet they can't offer monthly rolling contracts? We had to sign up for a min 2 year contract? It's disgusting. I'll never go VM!

    entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported

    @jackbremer @virginmedia I've been with them longer than that and, TBF, they've been good on the whole. However, the mark of a decent company, I feel, is how they handle problems...and @virginmedia were found totally wanting in my case. I hope for your sake you never have a serious problem with them 🤞🤞

    Leslie B (@sabele26) reported

    @MichelleBeckett @virginmedia We had the same with Virgin when my mother died. Every other service, bank etc were great & helpful, we were still getting bills from Virgin a year after she died, we’d phone, they’d say it was now cancelled - another bill. We gave up when the house was sold.

    @virginmedia Trying to resolve not being be able to see account details on app every time log goes to order details. Tried web messaging about as much use as a chocolate ashtray. Does the service have to be activated before you can see all account elements in app.

    @LessGrumpy @virginmedia Whenever I’ve had issues with Virgin it’s never been a UK call centre I’ve spoken to. Tend to avoid now but just left again after a couple of years of thankfully issue free broadband. Moved to PlusNet which is Openreach rebranded but far cheaper.
