    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.

    Bill Butcher (@wcbutcher) reported from Kidlington, England

    @virginmedia what’s going on? Been without internet in OX5 area since yesterday afternoon. Trying to work from home. These are difficult times as it is without this issue.

    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!

    Roxanne Selby (@roxanneselby) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    @virginmedia is there a problem in Oxford? Video calls on team dreadful, and connection very inconsistent.

    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.

  • travellingbex
    Bex Allen (@travellingbex) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    4yrs with @virginmedia never had a problem. But now that I do their 'customer service' sucks, endless cycles of talking to bots on their website, or being on hold for hours on the phone! 3 days of this just trying to get the Internet I'm paying for! #frustrated #virginmedia

    @virginmedia Hi there. Never got my 5 GB SIM card as stated in my contract. Been waiting for over a month and never got it! Impossible to get through customer services to speak to a human...

    @virginmedia Hi I downloaded the latest Update for my Apple Phone & ever since then when i click on my Virginmedia Hub3 my phone says it’s connected to the network but has weak security I’ve never known it to say that before😱

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

  • HollySquirrel
    Kim Marie Pike (@HollySquirrel) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia We need this sorting, as there are 3 of us working from home, involving video meetings. How do we get in touch with you to sort our services out? Our TIVo box is also slow to respond and on-demand isn’t working, due to internet problems. Help. Now. Please.

    @TheO2 and @virginmedia @BBCWatchdog Be careful of this, they say they will send you a free SIM card. First off, it never arrived. Secondly, they rack up a bill baring in mind I’ve not used it. Then put it on your credit rating. So glad my three year contract ends with o2 soon.

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

  • 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?!?

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

    @virginmedia shocking WiFi issues in the Oxfordshire area. Sort it out. Its been on and off for months now. Fix it quickly. No excuses please. It's annoying and frustrating 😒

    Sarah Poyntz (@sarah1986) reported

    @ryantegan @skytv We’ve just gone the other way, @virginmedia was not interested in keeping a customer of 10 years+, cost was literally going to double! We’ve switched to Sky but are ready to play flip flop between the 2 for the foreseeable as we know neither of them has any interest in loyalty!

    I never had issue with @o2 until they merged with virgin media. Now I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone. You try and use the website, pages don’t load. Information isn’t available. How do you keep on top of your account. #awfulservice #neveragain
