  • RNeacsu 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.

  • DamienPSmith 𝓓 𝓪 𝓶 𝓲 𝓮 𝓷 (@DamienPSmith) reported from Bracknell, England

  • davedec60 Dave Crocker (@davedec60) reported from Reading, England

    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

    @virginmedia Just had a call from Jerry at Virginmedia media wanting to help me mend my broadband issues (that I don’t have). After challenging him he told me to find the largest ***** & shove it up my arse!! Charming!! His No. 02038399963

  • Rochdale_Cowboy Craig (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia @LudaLukeUK That webpage isn't working. Presumably because your network is down!

  • Chateauneuf64 Bowlesy (@Chateauneuf64) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia all week had total Broadband outages and down again now (past hour). Received a text from VM with link to follow (self help) and guess what, I need Internet to access! Trying to WFH just impossible. Every hour we have issues.

  • Rochdale_Cowboy Craig (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Maidenhead, England

    Took out an @O2 account as part of some 'volt' deal with @virginmedia. My god O2 are bad. Apparently you have to wait a few months to access your account online to wait until their systems "catch up" for new joiners. Shouldn't have bothered.

  • RNeacsu 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.

  • Chateauneuf64 Bowlesy (@Chateauneuf64) reported from Wokingham, England

    Really hard to support brand @virginmedia and recommend them to anyone for Broadband. They may be the only competitor to BT but do you have to compete for last place?

  • danbon1973 Daniel Bonilla (@danbon1973) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia how do I check my virgin status if the status page doesn't work? Is there an outage in GU21 area?

  • iszi_lawrence 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.

  • pears0 gonzo (@pears0) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia We are sorry you are still waiting to be connected to one of the team. Our wait times are very high at the moment due to an unprecedented demand to speak to the team & we are experiencing some issues with our internal systems. This may mean a delay in being transferred to one of

  • reddobowen ☁️ Chris Reddington (@reddobowen) reported from Winnersh, England

    @virginmedia - Internet seems to have gone down in RG41, and your status page isn’t working. Can you confirm / when will it be back? Thx

  • Flozephine Flo (@Flozephine) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia no broadband in RG12 for over an hour - can’t report on your service status page as it appears down? Any update gratefully received 🙏🏻

  • nickybootyy Nicky Booty (@nickybootyy) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia when will the problems in rg1 be resolved?

  • indieemu Emu Hughes (@indieemu) reported

    @virginmedia He accused me of lying and I felt like he was trying to pressure me into signing up with Virgin again. All your calls should be recorded and if this wasn't then you really need to get your colleagues to use official phone lines and not personal mobile numbers. Awful xust service

  • S_Douglas96 Shannon Douglas (@S_Douglas96) reported

    @virginmedia That is the usual helpline number and we are not getting anywhere with it. Is there a different number we can call to escalate this issue as we need a solutions and currently we’re just getting passed pillar to post.

  • ricky_sundar Ricky Sundar (@ricky_sundar) reported

    @virginmedia VM responses are always scripted, no depth in response to the customer.

  • billybicep Rachael Hayes (@billybicep) reported

    @virginmedia Hi there yes I always refer to that page when I have issues. It mentioned tv issues but not WiFi. Seems ok again now as it’s intermittent can you guys monitor it please

  • blakelyle Blake (@blakelyle) reported

    @virginmedia Yeah, gave em a call, net drops again this time for 30 mins, sites and all systems say no issues. "when this going to be fixed?" - cs says 3-5 days, mobile solution not possible as I rely on fixed internet due to mobile being in a bad spot. Quite funny really can't make this up

  • antoniostrijdom Antonio Strijdom (@antoniostrijdom) reported

    Yay, getting random disconnects from @virginmedia again. New “super” hub didn’t help, so I guess I’m switching to another provider. Pity.

  • Laurastrupish Laura Strupish (@Laurastrupish) reported

    @virginmedia We have the app but can’t use it as the wifi is so intermittent. It’s not the signal that needs boosting, it just needs to be consistent. It’s a gamble every day on whether it works or not. When it works it’s fine, when it doesn’t we get nothing. No phones, no TV, nothing.

  • steveandcamera Steve Hayes (@steveandcamera) reported

    @virginmedia Tried that and got an automated message saying to ring another number and charges may apply, absolutely shocking service.

  • AgPoseidon PoseidonAG (@AgPoseidon) reported

    @virginmedia @JohnAlm82861113 Same issue happening with me

  • steveandcamera Steve Hayes (@steveandcamera) reported

    @virginmedia Service line says no problems in my area but my connection keeps dropping randomly during the day, it's extremely annoying when streaming.
