    @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.

    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!

    Bill Butcher (@wcbutcher) reported from Kidlington, England

    For a communication co @virginmedia aren’t very commutative. Their internet is down AGAIN. 3rd time in 2 weeks. I saw one of their men at a roadside junction box. That’s dangerous they should leave that to the experts. I am seriously thinking of returning to @bt_uk

    @virginmedia Great! In the middle of a worldwide pandemic and the service is down since this morning in Didcot. With so many people working from home and you let everyone down. I am waiting to finish my contract with you and bye-bye. You won’t see me ever again !!!

    Anyone in the #Oxford area having serious issues with @virginmedia WiFi today? Ended up having to result to hot Spot from my phone to try and get work done. 😣

  • pepetideo
    CrankyGeek (@pepetideo) reported from Begbroke, England

    @virginmedia Yes.. After much back and forth to simply getting teh to acknowledge they had overcharged me for 2 months... But the issue is... You took my money incorrectly but the refund takes a 45 days. This is absolutely despicable. There is no reason for a delay like that

    Char (@JurassicGarden) reported from Didcot, England

    The worst part of Lockdown wasn't the loneliness, the boredom or the agitation. It was seeing ******* Birdseye, McCain's and Virgin Media shoving happy family lockdown vibes down your throat to advertise themselves.

    Melisa Soto (@Melyclassy) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    @sandraHandscom1 @Bates_No1 @virginmedia I am on the same, worst customer experience ever. It is impossible to get on hold on the phone, they webpage is limited on options to cancel their service. #neveragain

  • 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.

  • kirkknowles121
    Kirk (@kirkknowles121) reported from Witney, England

    @virginmedia Very poor & will now be cancelling. Third outage this year. Working from home you just cannot really on @virginmedia

    Is this a known issue? Same here for us @virginmedia

  • GazzaAdams
    Gary Adams (@GazzaAdams) reported

    Hi @virginmedia This latest update appears to directly contradict the update you sent me earlier today. At 12:57, I was told that an engineer **was already on site and working to fix the problem**, with an estimated repair time of **18:00 today, 19/08/2026**. At 15:24, I am now being told that you have identified the problem and that an engineer **is on their way**, with the estimated repair time moved to **14:10 on 21/08/2026**. This is the original date that was stated 2 weeks ago. Could you please provide an accurate explanation of what is actually happening with fault **F012421201**? In particular: * Was an engineer on site earlier today, as stated? * If so, why is an engineer now apparently only “on their way”? * What has happened to cause the estimated repair time to move from this evening to Friday afternoon? * Is 21/08/2026 at 14:10 now a reliable estimate, or is this simply an automated placeholder? I appreciate that faults can take longer than expected to repair. What is frustrating is receiving contradictory information that makes it impossible to understand the actual status of the fault. Please provide a clear and factual update rather than another automated status message.
