    Jonathan O'Keeffe (@RGNJonathan) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia How could it be a connection issue? It is fibre optic WiFi? Also the internet has been horrid the last couple of months just haven’t had time to call both my partner and I are front line so never off in the week

  • 5waysRichard
    Richard Williams (@5waysRichard) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia hi, an engineer called out of the blue and claimed to be from Virgin Media working on my broadband. How can I tell if it’s not a scam? And if it’s not, how do I reach him? He gave the general customer service number

  • TwistieTalk

    @virginmedia What's the best time to contact your Customer Service team?

    Just experienced #unethical behaviour from @virginmedia #coercing a customer, accept £20 and close a complaint or you can take it further and not accept the £20. Failure to be transparent and communicate effectively across all departments about charges #poorcustomerservice

    Charles Brittain (@CharlesB2T) reported from Burgess Hill, England

    @virginmedia I am bitterly disappointed that you have only been able to provide a broadband service for a week and now there's nothing. My work relies on fast reliable broadband. If this doesn't get fixed this Monday, I'll be seeking another provider.

  • GaynorWingham
    Gaynor Wingham (@GaynorWingham) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia my internet and phone are not working. I can't phone you on 150. How can i contact you ? I live in Hove Brighton. Thank you

  • alternativeage
    Alternative Ageing (@alternativeage) reported from Saltdean, England

    @virginmedia I have had no apps on my TV working for days now, Many calls later still no answer and no on-line support. And yes, of course I’ve rebooted it! £75 a month for this?! #TreatLoyaltyLikeRoyalty @BBCWatchdog

  • indiointernet
    Brian Roe (@indiointernet) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia, what happened to the Travel Channel on 289? No warnings, no I go, just gone! It was my favorite channel and it's been scrapped of your network. What's going on?

  • CharlesB2T
    Charles Brittain (@CharlesB2T) reported from Burgess Hill, England

    @virginmedia We are happy, now that we're back online, but it was thanks to the two charming and communicative engineers working away in Burgess Hill that saved the day; not just because they'd fixed the issue, but they'd also told me what was going on.

    @virginmedia no internet I'm in the bn3 area any help please.?

  • jettypaul71
    Jeff Webber (@jettypaul71) reported from Burgess Hill, England

    @virginmedia I have no TV but you are not taking calls so how can I sort issue - looks like you changed/cancelled my account!!??

  • CarolePaton

    @virginmedia Hi, I eventually got a human to speak to after a very dodgy response to my tweets asking for all my bank details. Issue sorted.

  • DrSTun
    STun (@DrSTun) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia please help. Saying the password to login to my WiFi is incorrect. But it's not. Please help.

  • NicholaHarcourt
    Niki hardcore (@NicholaHarcourt) reported from Shoreham-by-Sea, England

    @virginmedia absolutely disgusted with the service

  • RGNJonathan
    Jonathan O'Keeffe (@RGNJonathan) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Don’t have an Ethernet cables. My phone actually uses 5G if signal is weak so it was likely my data not WiFi

  • HelenMonahan18
    Helen Monahan (@HelenMonahan18) reported from Shoreham-by-Sea, England

    After another 72 hrs without business @virginmedia you finally sent an engineer thanks for ruining another week of business in a pandemic so after 6 months of terrible customer service and disruption nobody cares

  • DeccanTiffin
    PriyaBTN (@DeccanTiffin) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia Is this some kind of joke? Just called this number and got an auto reply saying voice calls are not supported on this number. The WiFi service is awful today by the way.

  • 5waysRichard
    Richard Williams (@5waysRichard) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia It was a call and it wasn’t easy to hear what they were saying. Something about having detected that my internet was slow when doing online banking. It sounded very much like the “We are from BT open reach” scam so I said I would call them back.

    @virginmedia i just want my hub to be replaced it's the last option i have really, i've tried all other solutions, been reading on the forums for similar issue to which a hub replacement has fixed the issue. thats all but nowhere on the website does it say anything about hub replacements

  • ishaida63
    Irfan Shaida (@ishaida63) reported

    @virginmedia Sadly not, you've just sent me back into the black hole again. The Pre-Install team cannot help, I need more than some sympathy, 3 cancellations, 10+hrs of calls, an email to the CEO, 20 days without broadband and counting. Need Richards help😱 @richardbranson

  • ebell1984
    Edward Bell (@ebell1984) reported

    @virginmedia What constitutes non-essential work? Unfortunately, our building work will help to stop until an engineer can come out.

  • antiquestwins
    Martin Sansom (@antiquestwins) reported

    @virginmedia Yep, it says there is a known issue in our area (this seems to happen A LOT). Will be interesting to see if the 20:50pm fix estimate is accurate or if problems continue into the weekend.

    @virginmedia WiFi down in Coleman Avenue Hove again. Fourth week running now, maybe more losing track. What’s happening?

  • lauradennis4
    laura dennis (@lauradennis4) reported

    @virginmedia I have done all of this. Spent 2 hours on the phone yesterday and still it hasn’t fixed the problem. I will be reporting this to the ombudsman for further investigation as this is disgusting service!!

  • lauradennis4
    laura dennis (@lauradennis4) reported

    @virginmedia It’s gone to ofcom who will run speed tests every hour for 30 days. Which doesn’t help when I can’t even run a computer for the children to complete online homework

  • FaustGarbanzo67
    Scratch the Upsetter (@FaustGarbanzo67) reported

    @virginmedia Will try that but that throws up another problem. Forgotten my password and when given a link to change the password it refuses to allow me to confirm password in 2nd box. It simply won't progress past the 'new password' box. I have no idea why.
