    So @virginmedia seems to have gone down across the whole country simultaneously. Will be interesting to see what the root cause is.

    @CSmit77 @virginmedia @richardbranson Whereabouts in Oxford are you, Christian? We had a brief outage this morning, and now we've been out again for half an hour.

    @LaurakBuzz @virginmedia They can slow down your service in busy times. Dodgy. It’s in the contract though

    @virginmedia Just got a #SCAM call from this number 0800 052 1251 claiming to be Virgin Media, asked my name then put the phone down on me.

  • AmandaD00131015
    Amanda Davies (@AmandaD00131015) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    @virginmedia Then why did the call handler say 48 hours.? 28 days is unacceptable & no one has contacted me to find out details, so how can they resolve my issue?!?

    Oxford Wolf /\_/\ 🔶 (@Oxfordwolf) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    The whole house was just woken up by @virginmedia who decided to make a sales call at 7:45am this morning. So much for a peaceful lie in. I panicked when someone called so early on a Saturday morning, I thought it must be a family emergency. Thanks @VirginMediaCorp!

    Does anyone is having issues with @virginmedia around #Oxford today???

  • wcbutcher
    Bill Butcher (@wcbutcher) reported from Kidlington, England

    Why does @virginmedia keep going down in the OX5 area. This is the 4th time since Christmas. Furthermore you can’t get through to anyone to discuss it.

  • roxanneselby
    Roxanne Selby (@roxanneselby) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    @virginmedia It says no known issues but there plainly are as we have no internet

    A1NOS (@a1_nos) reported from Abingdon, England

    @CloopR @virginmedia Just horrid. I had the same problem with Vodafone. In the end the only way I resolved it was a good friend was golfing buddies with the CEO otherwise I don’t think I’d have sorted it.

  • 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.

  • Adamox2020
    Adam (@Adamox2020) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    @virginmedia your service needs improvement ASAP. Shocking how many times it goes on and off throughout the day.

    @DailyMailUK #virginmedia such a bad service

  • gill_haley33
    Gillian Haley (@gill_haley33) reported from Witney, England

    @virginmedia It seems a little expensive and I was hoping for a reduction as being a pensioner and a customer of Virgin long before it was Virgin, namely. Comtel back.on the day.

    Kelvin (@KelvinEHughes) reported

    @WhatTheForkAVFC They sent me a bill once. I've never been a customer of Virgin Media. They couldn't explain why when I eventually got through and sent two reminders to pay, the second quite aggresive, AFTER I had been assured it was an error on their part. Absolute cowboys.

  • GazzaAdams
    Gary Adams (@GazzaAdams) reported

    @virginmedia I need this escalated as a formal complaint regarding fault **F012421201**, because the information Virgin Media is providing has now become demonstrably contradictory. At **08:01 today, 20 August**, Virgin Media told me: “Our engineer is on site and they're working to fix the problem.” The estimated repair time given was **18:00 today**. At **15:27 today**, after I have been without service for most of the day, Virgin Media has now told me: “We have identified the problem and an engineer is on their way.” The estimated repair time has also been moved to **14:10 tomorrow, 21 August**. These statements cannot both accurately describe the progress of the same fault. An engineer who was already **on site and working on the problem at 08:01** cannot subsequently be **“on their way” at 15:27** without some explanation. I fully understand that a complex network fault may take longer to repair than initially anticipated, and that estimated restoration times can change. That is not my complaint. My complaint is that Virgin Media is repeatedly providing contradictory factual information about the status of the repair, while I remain without the service I am paying for. I consequently have no confidence in the estimated restoration times being provided. Please therefore: 1. **Log this as a formal complaint and provide me with the complaint reference.** 2. Confirm the actual current status of fault **F012421201**, rather than repeating the automated status information. 3. Explain how an engineer could be reported as on site and working at 08:01 but “on their way” at 15:27. 4. Confirm when the outage affecting my service officially began and that the full period of loss of service has been recorded against my account. 5. Confirm what automatic compensation I will be entitled to for the complete loss of service, where applicable. I have retained screenshots of the outage updates and their timestamps. Please respond to the specific points above rather than sending me another automated repair estimate.

    In the bordering 10 years of having @virginmedia broadband I have never experienced over 5 days of broken internet. In the time I have decided to play GTA online. The internet had the audacity to drop DURING A HEIST FINALE. Diabolical.

    @virginmedia It’s been sorted now, four weeks after two men from comex2000 dropped a heavy metal manhole onto our Internet connections You need to sort out your customer service, cause it’s absolutely dreadful. I told them that the 2 men had ruined this connection, but no one took any notice
