Alyson Leitch (@Geordiesbird) reported from Wokingham, England@virginmedia is there an outage in Woking? No WiFi at all for 2 hours so far. 😫😫🤬
-
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
-
Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported from Didcot, England@virginmedia And yes I called to your outage number, apparently there is no known issue in the area. Even though last night at 11.30pm in the app the status check showed every service is down, even though they weren't down last night. This happens only during working hours.

iszi (@iszi_lawrence) reported from Reading, England@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.

Paul Austin (@BagshotTwit) reported from Camberley, England@virginmedia I had my phone on me all day and didn’t have any missed call message. I have called numerous times and no progress. I understand you also can’t help me.
-
Rob McEwan (@robmcewan1966) reported from Finchampstead, England@virginmedia Truly astounding. I have spent hours trying to get virgin to actually carry out promises made and we’re still not there. I’ll swear the customer services reps I speak to are under so much pressure to move on to the next call they make it up as they go.

shaun harley (@shaun1968) reported from Didcot, England@virginmedia I'm expecting a replacement set top box to replace a broken tivo. Told it will be delivered Weds. but I've had no confirmation email and not showing in my virgin app. Can anyone help
-
Phil Stacey (@PhilStace20) reported from Maidenhead, England@virginmedia It’s more about how this can’t be dealt with online and spending a busy day trying to get to talk with someone who actually can help. #Disgraceful #expectedthis
-
Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported from Didcot, England@virginmedia Internet keeps disconnecting. Called, useless as always. Intermittent issues or connectivity issues. Just send an engineer to check, why wait for another 24h when this is an ongoing issue. I've even reset the hub, still same issues.
-
Matt Rose (@mattrose18) reported from Camberley, England@virginmedia Wired and yes. Seems to have stabilised for the time being. Hopefully no more issues
-
Marti Jerrard - K74 (@K74Marti) reported from Farnborough, EnglandEveryday 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

Craig (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Reading, England@virginmedia @LudaLukeUK That webpage isn't working. Presumably because your network is down!
-
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.
-
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!

Cookie (@chrissincl29564) reported@stephenm68 @virginmedia That is awful. Virgin media have really done down hill in looking after their customers. All they care about is customer acquisition
-
D.M.H (@Dylanhunt27) reportedMight have the worse virgin media internet on the planet, goes off every ******* second. Awful.
-
Amy (@AmyDonalson_X) reported@virginmedia please explain to me how after my package ran out and I renewed with a different package in JULY it’s taken 3 phone calls, 5 online conversations and 4 different bill amounts for September/October to still have no resolution or idea how much my next bill will be??

Gary Adams (@GazzaAdams) reported@virginmedia I need this escalated as a formal complaint regarding fault **F012421201**, because the information Virgin Media is providing has now become demonstrably contradictory. At **08:01 today, 20 August**, Virgin Media told me: “Our engineer is on site and they're working to fix the problem.” The estimated repair time given was **18:00 today**. At **15:27 today**, after I have had intermittent service for most of the day and had to hotspot from my phone to be able to work, Virgin Media has now told me: “We have identified the problem and an engineer is on their way.” The estimated repair time has also been moved to **14:10 tomorrow, 21 August**. These statements cannot both accurately describe the progress of the same fault. An engineer who was already **on site and working on the problem at 08:01** cannot subsequently be **“on their way” at 15:27** without some explanation. I fully understand that a complex network fault may take longer to repair than initially anticipated, and that estimated restoration times can change. That is not my complaint. My complaint is that Virgin Media is repeatedly providing contradictory factual information about the status of the repair, while I remain without the service I am paying for. I consequently have no confidence in the estimated restoration times being provided. Please therefore: 1. **Log this as a formal complaint and provide me with the complaint reference.** 2. Confirm the actual current status of fault **F012421201**, rather than repeating the automated status information. 3. Explain how an engineer could be reported as on site and working at 08:01 but “on their way” at 15:27. 4. Confirm when the outage affecting my service officially began and that the full period of loss of service has been recorded against my account. 5. Confirm what automatic compensation I will be entitled to for the complete loss of service, where applicable. I have retained screenshots of the outage updates and their timestamps. Please respond to the specific points above rather than sending me another automated repair estimate.

Andy Nicholls 🫧⚒️✝️ (@andy_nicks60) reportedWell @virginmedia certainly have great customer service people that just feed you absolute lies about not stocking 360 boxes anymore then when they lose the argument they say you can’t have one because you’re not a new customer, and promptly end the conversation.

Dan (@DanJeoryPhoto) reportedAnyone else in the Chester, NW region having problems with their @virginmedia broadband service? Been down all morning #chestertweets
-
Stephen Maddock (@stephenm68) reported@1RavC @virginmedia I’ve been without broadband for 22 days but because they know it’s an outage in our area a @virginmedia engineer has been “on their way” since 27 July. Have pursued every available line of enquiry but no information as to what the ****** is the reason for it not being fixed
-
David Ratcliffe (aka Centurions_War) (@Dratcliffe1986) reported@virginmedia @ExeterBub Are repairs for no service supposed to be 48hrs from when reported? Id raise to the issue to ofcom, make sure Virginmedia keep to the extended time frame and provide full compensation and refund for the lost TV access

Nitroman 🇬🇧🇺🇸 (@Nitromanuk) reported@TheFreds I've been with O2 since the very beginning and never had a problem. Even better now they've teamed up with virgin media.
