  • paulineayres PaulineAyres-S/W (@paulineayres) reported from Blackwater, England

    Omg @virginmedia the worse service you could possible get 😡

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

    @virginmedia Hi AR, I was given no time at all, only that there were ongoing issues the last two weeks then he said 7-10 days. He said you were working on it, it would be fixed but no timescale. 15 days of unreliable BB is awful. Have had 100% outages of up to 36 hours.

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

    Aargh. @VirginMedia broadband is down again, 20 mins here in GU14. That’s 13 days of poor service. I’m trying to WFH and daughter’s trying to do her homework online. This is infuriating.

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

    @Binky_2301 @virginmedia The service was pretty reliable until now 19 days ago. Their status tool says no issues yet an engineer told me there were. And that they were fixing it. Been watching Twitter and it’s been an issue with folks all over the country.

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

    @virginmedia Your web site is not very helpful really - apparently the fault will be rectified by 08.40 this morning. Understand technical problems arise but it’s surely much better to provide proactive updates rather than to react in receipt of complaints?

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

    @GuseensLV @virginmedia Ah man, I’m with ya. 350MB here was fab until 16 days ago. Been “OK” today, had a relatively stable connection but it never crept over 10MB and that was if I was lucky *sigh*

  • paulineayres PaulineAyres-S/W (@paulineayres) reported from Blackwater, England

    @virginmedia I have to wait until Monday for an engineer to come and fix whatever the problem is but never ever had a good connection and made many complains

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

    @SinghT2j @virginmedia It’s been down a good 3 days in the last 14 here. Otherwise it’s either slow or randomly intermittent. They really need to sort their network out, it was never this bad until 2 weeks ago.

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

    Dear diary, day 16 of poor/zero broadband. I called @VirginMedia, joined a queue, cooked, served & ate dinner, started watching The Simpsons then after 48 minutes of Jake Bugg and some other repetitive on-hold phone entertainment, they cut me off!

  • DawnFabbricatti Dawn Fabbricatti🇿🇦🇮🇹 (@DawnFabbricatti) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia You LITERALLY cannot be serious right now? Is this how you believe my issue will be solved? And yes, in the last 19 days I have rebooted twice.

  • paulineayres PaulineAyres-S/W (@paulineayres) reported from Blackwater, England

    @virginmedia Have to wait until Monday until an engineer can come out to fix whatever the problem is, I have never ever had a good connection, made many complaints but this is the worse ever. Intermittence connections causing me to need another @SlimmingWorld consultant to cover my groups 💔

  • BobBeveridge1 Bob Beveridge (@BobBeveridge1) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia When your expensive fibre broadband crashes in the middle of an online meeting with an MP this is bloody frustrating and unacceptable. Your service is often unreliable in the middle of the day. Can it be fixed or do I need another provider as backup?

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

    @virginmedia Called yesterday PM: engineer tested the line, said there were network issues despite status page saying to the contrary. Was told you were fixing the issue but today is day 15 and no BB since ~15:30 yesterday. I have to go to the office, no choice. Poor/no BB = risk my health 🙁

  • TheonlyJonesy Martyn Jones (@TheonlyJonesy) reported from Fleet, England

    @virginmedia don’t worry about supplying a service that I can use to work from home, I’d much rather leave the house in a pandemic to access stable broadband...!!!

  • jgoodliffe_ James Goodliffe (@jgoodliffe_) reported from Maidenhead, England

    @virginmedia whys my internet so terrible in SL6? I pay for 350 and I’m getting 8..

  • EmsAlice Ems ☾ (@EmsAlice) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia We managed to get through to your team on the phone yesterday and they said they will call us back. It started working again yesterday evening but it’s an on and off problem we have had for weeks so needs looking into properly which I hope will happen soon.

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

    @sniveldirk @virginmedia Also it’s not reliable broadband. I’m suffering day 15 of anything but the 350MB connection I paid for. Right now it’s dead again. The lack of service forced me to have to work from an office today (again!) How unsafe is that?

  • KathyMck1962 Kathy mckenry (@KathyMck1962) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia can you advise how much longer our internet will be down in the Tilehurst Reading area had no internet since 8pm yesterday? ?

  • wmatthew Will Matthews (@wmatthew) reported from Fleet, England

    @virginmedia is there a bandwidth issue in the network? I’m in Fleet, Hampshire #patchy #slow

  • EmsAlice Ems ☾ (@EmsAlice) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia It’s now been more than 48 hours and once again our catch up services and virgin media store is down and unavailable ... this time with no known local issue. What am I meant to do?

  • xelo10844713 xelo (@xelo10844713) reported

    @virginmedia wifi was reset this morning and a few hours passed without any issue.. now the problem has returned after resetting the box twice. It’s connected however no Internet is secured on any device. What can be actioned in order to speed the issue through?

  • kpa421 koopa (@kpa421) reported

    @virginmedia trying to pay 4 days now, contacted my bank (as you suggested) and they have said the 'SCA exemption/soft decline/SCA required' is because your website isn't updated for the new security or some other gubbins (none of which concerns me) Can you fix this @NatWest_Help

  • 8bitnitwit 8bitnitwit (@8bitnitwit) reported

    @virginmedia Your broadband internet has gone down in SW16 2EQ, can you please advise when it will be back up again

  • AbbeyBhatty abbeybhatty (@AbbeyBhatty) reported

    @virginmedia I can't understand the chap on the phone he talks so fast and not clearly. I have told them to cancel, he says he has to cancel the Install Team on 9th June and then the account to be shut down. I already called 02 to cancel the Volt SIMM as I did not agree to this.

  • JMATOG1 JMTAOG1 (@JMATOG1) reported

    @virginmedia My bill says i pay virgin media for this channel therefore it’s a virgin media problem - have you reached out to the channel directly to see if this is a regular issue?

  • HoqqqE E (@HoqqqE) reported

    my virgin media wifi has been down for a day…

  • h_irish37 GirlyIreland 🇮🇪 (@h_irish37) reported

    A 30 min wait time for virgin media. What a 💩 service

  • Mrs_L_G Lisa Gregory (@Mrs_L_G) reported

    @virginmedia No, because 1) I don't have a 'spare' email address, and 2) because in 2022 I honestly can't understand why this is necessary. There was no issue with me using that address to sign up to a new contract so why shouldn't it be used for me to access my account??
