    @virginmedia @Virgin_Victoria @AaronGaben Virgin says no issues in my area but all I am getting is flashing green arrows and no connectivity... full reset and switched off 3 tokes but to no avail.

  • MartinJerrard Martin Jerrard (@MartinJerrard) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia No as I am about to drive to work when I should be working from home as I do each Friday and Monday except poor service is preventing me doing do. I will make a formal complaint tonight as this is the second time this week.

  • mikeyh817 Mike (@mikeyh817) reported from Woodley, England

    @virginmedia putting on such excellent service again 😡😡😡😡 broadband been down now for over three hours. You clowns really are useless. Really wish we’d left you when we had the chance 😡😡😡😡😡

  • gb20man Grant Baartman (@gb20man) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia Sorry to say that I contacted your online chat, but they offered no significant update other than 9th Sept for a fix and no offer of compensation as I am not experiencing a total loss of service. Not happy at all.

  • spice1971 Graeme Spice (@spice1971) reported from Yateley, England

    @virginmedia Maybe you can pass on the fact 2 calls to two separate call centres (first was India, second Scotland) both dropped mid call. Assuming it wasn’t the operators maybe there is an issue. Didn’t happen to Philpines on third call. Annoying when hold times are long

  • MartinJerrard Martin Jerrard (@MartinJerrard) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Just done that and again no issues reported. This is the second time this week I have had no connectivity. Just tried a reset and still nothing. How do I get an engineer out as this is becoming tiresome now given the price we pay.

  • MartinJerrard Martin Jerrard (@MartinJerrard) reported from Farnborough, England

    @dinger3805 @virginmedia It's become a bit of a joke which is not funny anymore as I have lost 2 days pay now because of this given the price we pay. Appualing service at the moment.

  • InflightJames James (@InflightJames) reported from Wokingham, England

    Absolute SHIT customer service from @virginmedia today. Due have an iPhone delivered yet “for some reason” it was cancelled. Thanks for that.

  • dionne_angus Dionne Angus (@dionne_angus) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia trying to watch a film on Netflix only for my tv to keep flashing up wired LAN cable is disconnected then wired network is connected what is going on I pay for virgin and Netflix and getting fed up

  • mikeyh817 Mike (@mikeyh817) reported from Woodley, England

    @virginmedia According to your fault page there’s nothing wrong yet when you call they agree there’s a problem. Again poor service from yourselves when your departments can’t agree!!!

  • MartinJerrard Martin Jerrard (@MartinJerrard) reported from Farnborough, England

    @Virgin_Victoria @virginmedia Thank you. Virgin Boffin says no issues in area. I have carried out 3 x fully resets and all I am getting is flashing areos and horizontal lines.

  • gb20man Grant Baartman (@gb20man) reported from Bracknell, England

    Intermittent network service from @virginmedia again, seems I need to use my reliable personal hotspot from @VodafoneUK - at least I have a fallback plan.

  • mathers1981 Stephen Marshall (@mathers1981) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia absolute joke of a service. Try and leave them as they are having your pants down each month and it’s like trying to escape Alcatraz. Awful firm

  • melvinabrose millie p RN RHV QN (@melvinabrose) reported from High Wycombe, England

    Virgin media just rubbish. Just so disappointed in a service that for the past 2 months has been rubbish. Worked all over the house and even in the garden for all the time we have been customers but now only working on one side of the house and not upstairs.

  • MartinJerrard Martin Jerrard (@MartinJerrard) reported from Farnborough, England

    Slightest hint of bad weather and here we go again. it's only slightly damp here but already working from home has failed before it's even started. Think its time to switch ISP as this is becoming all to frequent from @virginmedia.. 2 lost days of work/pay this mth already.

  • RJHOTCHEF Ryan Wilson (@RJHOTCHEF) reported from Fleet, England

    @AlyInASpin @virginmedia Weird we are having the same problem #lag , @virginmedia whats the problem please. Very annoying now

  • i96jms Jane (@i96jms) reported from Fleet, England

    @virginmedia We are going around in circles. Your team just go through the same script each time we call. Please arrange escalation to a manager to investigate why your support team cannot resolve issues due to flawed process.

  • KernowPrincess Lynn Gower (@KernowPrincess) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia internet appears to be up and down for RG30 2QT

  • mikeyh817 Mike (@mikeyh817) reported from Woodley, England

    Can I just say again @virginmedia is absolute shite. Had no internet for nearly an hour but “their system is down” so they can’t check it. Piss poor from this company

    @virginmedia It's back online now. If it goes down again I'll raise a support call

  • ViaTowerBridge 𝐹𝒾𝓍𝒾𝑒 𝒞𝓎𝒸𝓁𝒾𝓈𝓉 🚴‍♂️+🌉 (@ViaTowerBridge) reported

    Wohoo my Phone Line is back on after @virginmedia services going down for most of the day yesterday.

  • PxrvOtb Pxrv.otb (@PxrvOtb) reported

    @virginmedia whats going on with your Internet service in UB8? Having intermittent issues since last night and it's a real pain! Service check there's no problem in my area but there clearly is if it keeps dropping out every few minutes

  • PxrvOtb Pxrv.otb (@PxrvOtb) reported

    @virginmedia Still having issues. Hub is flashing red phone symbol and broadband speed has dropped to a quarter of what I should be getting

  • iannoythemisses Views my Own (@iannoythemisses) reported

    @virginmedia This system is horrendous. I'd just block your emails but I'd be the bad guy.

  • wiII_1111111 will (@wiII_1111111) reported

    @benbenbenbenyes @virginmedia These ***** sit at home every day like its a lockdown doing nothing! 8 hours for a ******* small fix

  • MSROPER10 S (@MSROPER10) reported

    @ViaTowerBridge @virginmedia Did they say what the problem was?

  • ScottSullivan55 Scott Sullivan (@ScottSullivan55) reported

    @virginmedia been waiting since the 24th of August 2021 for my wifi installation? How can it possible take this long. What a joke of a company. Can someone actually sort this instead of just putting me through your useless customer support as I have done for the last 8 months

  • DavidVaughan5 LOVE LFC, HATE FSG (@DavidVaughan5) reported

    @virginmedia Following conversation with your team I was told that the reason why I have an O2 mobile account is to make my account cheaper per month. Seems odd but that is what I have been told by the help team.

  • old149741308 markhopkins (@old149741308) reported

    @virginmedia Must see moment ??I'm not sure that would be because your tv,broadband and phone service stops working week on week. I've tried to report this I've tried contacting virgin but it would appear that it's easier to contact my grandmother and she's dead for 36years .......
