  • 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!!!

  • Goldy73 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

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

    @virginmedia It's always the same response. No service impacting issues reported. However, the service is pretty bad. Wondering if @virginmedia network is capable of handling traffic or deliberately doing throttling. @Ofcom

  • Tom38971529 Tom (@Tom38971529) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Well I would speak to a member of the team but always get the call cut short and I ask for a call back if the line goes dead. Twice yesterday ot happend Nd never got a phone call back

  • HaiderAlRekabi Haider Al-Rekabi 🏴‍☠️ (@HaiderAlRekabi) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia There is no problem in my area. My problem is specific to my account.

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

    @Firesnapper999 @virginmedia It’s really frustrating; the third technician was brilliant, replaced everything almost like a new install and it worked great for just over a week. Now the status site says everything is good whilst a call to support says it isn’t. #Grrr

  • 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?

  • vserafino19 Vito Serafino (@vserafino19) reported from Farnborough, England

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

  • Pablocollier Paul Collier (@Pablocollier) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Sorry but no. If you can't monitor your own service provision why should I ?

  • CarolRothy Carol Rothwell (@CarolRothy) reported from Wokingham, England

    @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

  • hoarp001 Peter ***** (@hoarp001) reported from Fleet, England

    @virginmedia my broadband is running at 10mbps (supposed to be 200). The app has done a "scan" and it says there is a network error and check back in 24 hours. Problem is, it's still slow three days later and there appears to be no more help on offer. Now what?

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

    Another day of bad experience with @virginmedia broadband service in RG6 area. Buffering on streaming service, no video calls possible on Skype and WhatsApp. Seriously thinking of switching to @bt_uk

  • callum_penny Callum Penny (@callum_penny) reported from Fleet, England

    @virginmedia no WiFi for the past 4 hours now… have ran tests to solve issues. Says service is fine in area again now but still nothing? Gu52 area code

  • mcsherlocks Daniel Sherlock (@mcsherlocks) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Internet down at the moment in Woking also yesterday. Checked with my neighbours also down so is system wide

  • 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.

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

    We have issue with #HGVdrivers but why @virginmedia broadband had issues for the last few days in RG6 area. Pretty bad service. @Ofcom

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

    Another day of pathetic experience on @virginmedia broadband service. No broadband service in RG6 area. Regretting my decision to switch. @Ofcom @DowndetectorUK

  • nenevall derrick mulvana (@nenevall) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia @OfficialRandL reading festival, the virgin media mobile network is on its knees with no internet connection across most of the site.. sort it out.

  • EmsAlice 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?

  • Pablocollier Paul Collier (@Pablocollier) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia Patchy. And the weekends enquiry regarding possibly upgrading... Non existent service.
