  • fayeharland faye harland (@fayeharland) reported from Woolhampton, England

    @virginmedia hi there not sure if you can help. We’ve been trying to contact my Uncle for a few days on his landline and it’s going direct to the message service. We’re getting quite worried about him and wondered if it’s possible to see if there’s a fault on the line?

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia how soon before that issue is resolved? I’m in the RG12 area? Trying to work from home

  • 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?

  • LesleeRBarron 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝗹𝗲𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗻 🏳️‍🌈 🇺🇦 🍃💚🍃 (@LesleeRBarron) reported from Reading, England

    @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

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

    @virginmedia Broadband down again, 2nd week in a row. Had one day of service and stupidly canx Engineer due next day and hey presto back down we go again. 1 week wait for engineer, 1 day of BB, and now earliest slot for Engineer +1 week. Buyer beware. Typing whilst 50 mins holding with VM!

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

    @virginmedia when will the problems in rg1 be resolved?

  • kerrynnewman Kerryn Newman (@kerrynnewman) reported from High Wycombe, England

    @virginmedia what's going on with my internet. No notification of problems!

  • 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 🙏🏻

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia And there you have the extent of VM customer care folks!

  • 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

    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?

  • fayeharland faye harland (@fayeharland) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Hi again. Just letting you know we’ve made contact with him and all seems fine. So please can we cancel the engineer for Friday.

  • fayeharland faye harland (@fayeharland) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia I’m not sure if they do. Happy to do another web chat to cancel.

  • 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

  • ABennell4709 Alex Bennell (@ABennell4709) reported from Twyford, England

  • AronGunningham Aron Gunningham (@AronGunningham) reported from Reading, England

  • NikTheGeek NikTheGeek Ⓐ (@NikTheGeek) reported

    @virginmedia No, as you can see, that link says no known issues for broadband anywhere in the country. But since my work VPN is fine, it can't be the physical cable. But my portable devices or my desktop pc are getting connection issues - so has to be local to VM

  • alexjamesdean AlexJamesDean (@alexjamesdean) reported

    @virginmedia Okay but no amount has been deducted from my bill? You want me to pay 52 for a month of services where the telephone customer service is so bad. Right now I have a high bill because im refusing to pay until I reviece my compensation, you're even charging late fees!

  • vanessadacosta1 Vanessa Da Costa (@vanessadacosta1) reported

    @virginmedia As I mentioned before, no issues in the area. I have tried both wireless(within 1m from the router) and wired connection and I am getting 10% of what I should be getting. This has been for a while now an ongoing situation. I check the area status ...(continue)

  • DJB_I_MCMLXXXV 🇲🇺 Cest_Les_Bouve - #FreePalestine 🇵🇸 (@DJB_I_MCMLXXXV) reported

    Wow Virgin Media yet again going down after we upgraded the package 2 weeks ago to what was supposed to be a better package. Words fail to describe how I feel about the service and the lack of effort to resolve this.

  • ChiragDavda11 ChigzD (@ChiragDavda11) reported

    @virginmedia Ironic... the amount of problems you cause people and the lies you tell your customers ... surpirsed me that virgin would stand up for these causes... Well done.

  • ChiragDavda11 ChigzD (@ChiragDavda11) reported

    @virginmedia @TomReadWilson Take a product out with virgin and your screwed for life... keep telling my product has been cancelled but then billing me... every time I call in they say "sorry sir your services we never disconnected"

  • Perag74 Perag (@Perag74) reported

    @virginmedia A guy turned up today, and cut the cable. He let me know as the cable was on my property, I could have done that. So why didn't you guys just tell me that in March when I rang. What a waste of my time, your time, your customer services team time and your enginneer's time.

  • theworldin2020 Shan (@theworldin2020) reported

    @virginmedia thats all great. All i want to ask is if payment are in good order and my account is due to close mid June, why dont I have connection? The router is on. It says there is connection problem. My area is fine.

  • EthanCo17376347 Ethan Conrad (@EthanCo17376347) reported

    @adkhilas @barcacentre Virgin media put some advert on my box that I couldn't avoid advertising it...seemed like they were trying to force me into watching it, which of course, I never did

  • ItIsMe73390230 Wendy (@ItIsMe73390230) reported

    @virginmedia Communication crap!, want to cancel everything & get refunded for last 3 months on services, equipment I didn't want or have
