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!

@virginmedia Thanks for getting the internet sorted but any reason why there is still no phone service or any information to explain?

@virginmedia Oh... no, it’s down again. Nope, it’s back. Oh... and again, no BB. Wait, back on. Hurrah. Oh, no, back, nope, gone... There’s something seriously wrong with your service. Dead for 36 hours, back and now intermittent... in the middle of the night too! Who can fix this?

Day 4 of trying to get hold of @virginmedia technical support. Quite incredibly I just got a phone call from their marketing team trying to offer me deals. I said I didn't want any deals, I just want my Tivo box replaced as its broken. The woman hung up on me. Disgraceful.

@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*

@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.

Switched to @virginmedia broadband in Nov ‘20 and agreed to pay more per month than I was paying before just to get reliable broadband. Now I find myself never using the Wi-Fi at home and the kids having to use my phone data to complete school lessons and work as it is SO BAD 😡

@virginmedia day three of sitting listening to your hold music unable to speak to anyone. My Tivo has gone pop. Any chance you can help please?

@virginmedia But they don’t cancel when I ring up so why would I waste my time doing that. I’m not spending another hour on the phone to achieve nothing again.

@ralphyallen @virginmedia Let’s see how long it takes @virginmedia to respond or put something out proactively. I’m trying to call the 0345 customer service number as well as 150 but having no joy getting through.

@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 🙁

@virginmedia hey there - lost all connectivity at home suddenly this morning and can’t get through to any of your helpline numbers. Is there problem in GU15 3HY area. Can’t understand why 150 and external numbers are either not connecting or just showing as constantly unavailable

@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.

@virginmedia is almost harder to leave than the EU! 3 days, 5 calls (4 hang ups!) Several wasted hours online.

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.

@virginmedia Still no landline service to home and neighbour similarly. It’s been close on 24hrs - pretty irritated that there is no information coming proactively from your team to be honest but appreciate the social team’s responsiveness to my contact

@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?

@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?

@virginmedia Very poor service today - internet cut out at least three times, during separate on-line meetings -once at 9.50, once late morning, once mid afternoon. What was going wrong ? RG4 Area31

@virginmedia Hi, yep. It’s been poor for over 4 days and non-existent for nearly 36 hours. Yes, I’ve checked BB status, it’s supposedly OK, yes I’ve rebooted, yes I’ve factory reset, multiple times. Still no BB. Still have to go to office, no choice unfortunately. No BB = Big health risk🙁

@virginmedia over 24 hours with unstable and unreliable broadband which, as a home worker, means I am losing money, nothing on the service status, not fixed by rebooting the hub, nor a factory reset of the hub.

@virginmedia Hello there. Some weeks ago someone answered my tweet about the Virgin email no longer working on my laptop. Was told this was a problem that was being worked on. Still can't access those emails...

@virginmedia we have been a customer for 5 years. We have this white router from Virgin which constantly resets itself. Currently too slow for smart TV. We have fullhouse membership. How do we get the black intelligent box and booster pods? Thanks.

@virginmedia broadband is still down in ST4 3QE area. Any idea when it will be fixed. It has been off since yesterday.

@virginmedia still waiting for a call back few days later which I was would be done in the next hour To make a poor service even worse The tech support advisor has made changes without consent & added services which increases my bill & no consent or verbal agreement was given😡

(@scottmagee1) reported
@virginmedia Well I'm always told by Virgin Media support staff that loss of service is automatically compensated. My loss of service was for 4 1/2 days and was part of a bigger local outage that was very well documented. What's my next step?

@virginmedia If it's taking 48 hours to do a repair it would suggest you don't have the staffing levels to deal with the amount of issues you currently have. I don't believe the issue is so bad it's taking this long to replace infrastructure
