    @virginmedia internet is down in RG30 (router is white but no internet). Checked on mobile I’m not the only one experiencing problems in the area.

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

    @virginmedia Thanks. Engineer showed up, plugged in a new Hub 3, “fixed” my BB & WiFi and, 3 hours later, it’s still not working. Can I 1) file a complaint and 2) get a guarantee that this will be fixed for once and for all.

  • 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.

    Everyday this week and again today @virginmedia has stopped working… constant resets and in some cases down for 3-4 hrs at a time which is preventing work, training, education & entertainment! Come on #Virgin sort your reliability out pse

    GoldyMcGoldface (@Goldy73) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia The fact you have even done it without telling anyone is a shocking customer service move,especially in this day and age where a lot of people are working from home. Absolutely disgusting service I don't care how long it will take, I need to know of you plan to take it down so

    @virginmedia Internet is down in GU51 since yesterday. When will it be up? Can't report it online, because we have no internet for it to check with!

    @virginmedia Phone call received this afternoon from your service centre but not about the complaint / when I asked about it they cut me off / email received from Resolution Team this afternoon telling me to ring your service line and have not read the complaint / total joke C-180123113

    Ems (@EmsAlice) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia We just purchased a film from the media store and it won’t play - just is stuck at 0 minutes 😡 we’ve restarted our box but always have problems like this with catch up especially… not ideal when we’ve paid money to rent a film! Can you help at all?

  • gareth5274

    So @virginmedia once more we have an outage, how many times now in the last 3 months? NOT GOOD ENOUGH!! Currently looking at switching supplier

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

    ‘ere, @VirginMedia, it’s been a full month now of totally unreliable service at my house; 5 engineers later, with the last call to 0345 454 111 on Friday saying you KNOW there’s a problem and it WILL be fixed in 24 hours. I called bullshit. I was right. Sort this out!!!

    DimiD (@DimiD35089880) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia We have engineer booked for today to see what is the issue as since I upgraded never had such a bad service experience for the last 12 years with @virginmedia

  • flyingjok
    John Neilson (@flyingjok) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia Worst part of it @virginmedia is the way your customer service team speaks to customers. Quite appalling and in my experience always approached on basis that the customer is wrong. It consistently bad - to be told you don’t send texts when I clearly had two texts quite insulting!

  • tashaj1984
    Natasha Gorrie (@tashaj1984) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia I have posted but not sure how a forum post will help. Can you advise of your official escalation complaint process

  • fayeharland
    faye harland (@fayeharland) reported from Woolhampton, England

    @virginmedia hi there not sure if you can help. We’ve been trying to contact my Uncle for a few days on his landline and it’s going direct to the message service. We’re getting quite worried about him and wondered if it’s possible to see if there’s a fault on the line?

    @virginmedia DM about what? From my post you have my details, the situation that repeats and repeats and repeats. None of this happened until VM decided that you would make changes for better security by having the VMO2 p'word. Is this problem just us or are others affected? #virginmedia #O2

  • 4peterborough
    🇬🇧 Andy🇬🇧 (@4peterborough) reported

    @virginmedia What’s the point? Everyone is suffering the same problem. I’m sure if you check on social media you see people do not like this function

  • doozerlyn
    doozerlyn (@doozerlyn) reported

    @virginmedia Why are you fixing everyone's red button issue on 28th August?? Mine says its going to be done at 1008 hours that day??? All engineers off till then or something else???

    @virginmedia are your e mails down ?

  • CraigSu66242369
    Craig Sutton (@CraigSu66242369) reported

    @virginmedia @alexand979677 Customers shouldn't have to compromise. We have all paid for a service which we are currently not getting. It's a disgrace really considering the cost. Maybe time for a change.

  • PaulJack662016
    Paul R Jackson (@PaulJack662016) reported

    @APTSArchive @virginmedia Awful to hear - these big companies are terrible at customer relations. Hope the move goes better then dealing with Virgin Media.

  • dansmurph
    Daniel Murphy (@dansmurph) reported

    @DartingMelon @alexand979677 @virginmedia Easiest thing to do is phon them up and ask for a loss of service credit, they literally have to give you the money back. No need to wait for the ombudsman etc. you only really need that when your at the deadlock stage

  • CorkinDawn
    dawnieC (@CorkinDawn) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia how long before you respond please. If i need a new tv box then it needs to be ordered asap or are you going to refund me for the days i am paying for a tv service i cant use. Thanks

  • LadySs
    Sana (@LadySs) reported

    @virginmedia service team have been truly abysmal in dealing with the situation involving a 91-year old lady who was out of contract. She was repeatedly told to check your emails unacceptable given her age and circumstances.The lack of compassion and understanding shown is bad
