    Your website for checking status is not loading. Can you verify if there are known issues with broadband in the se3 area. Thanks @virginmedia

    @virginmedia is there a outage in woolwich Se18 my broadband isn't working and I can't even load up your website to try and get help?

  • macon1375
    Mark Connolly (@macon1375) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia Of course. I’ve done everything required of me: I was told it’s caused by my home move and the disconnection due on 12th. Things seem to have been prematurely actioned affecting my signal

    Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Andrew007Uk) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    After a mammoth session on the phone to 6 of your departments to arrange interim broadband given your service failed in Nov. & won't be fixed to March I spoke to a helpful chap called David in the Customer Care Dept before I was cut off. Can you help reconnect me @virginmedia 🙏🏻

  • discobabe76
    DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia 4/ I work from home so asked what can I do in the meantime? No help given. I asked to speak to a supervisor. Waited 15 mins to speak to Supervisor ( 45 mins total already spent on phone)..

  • BobCratchitt
    Andee Byford (@BobCratchitt) reported from Poplar, England

    @virginmedia But your hub has died and as such I cannot access my broadband, use my landline as you moved it from copper to Ethernet and the TV services are impacted as I cannot record, watch the BBC or any streaming service. In short an outage.

    My day off and I still cannot watch Amazon prime due to virgin media delivering a ****** service. I really think we need to switch providers now. Enough is enough.

  • Phil_Swallow
    Philip 🦅 (@Phil_Swallow) reported from Croydon, England

    @redheadlass1402 @virginmedia We’ve got the business service but it’s no better. They don’t seem to have any proactive monitoring or fault prevention and pretty much don’t care. They have a 3 hour service level that passed 12 hours ago, totally useless bunch of money-grabbers

  • discobabe76
    DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia No issues... I need to speak to someone I've tried everything... Reboot, reset and nothing is working

  • WhiskyOneIce
    Mark 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@WhiskyOneIce) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    Be careful if you ever want to cancel a @virginmedia account, I wrote to them, twice as per their T&C because you can never get through on chat or phone, they deny receipt of letters because you cant send recorded delivery so they just keep sending bills and chasing payments

  • gorgeousuk
    anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia another night not being able to use the platforms I pay for due to crappy service from yourselves

  • willbassoumba

    Virgin media is down and I actually have to talk to my family… yuck.

  • mrkinski
    Tony Kinson (@mrkinski) reported from Bexleyheath, England

    After the long outage overnight, @virginmedia was back online but is now down again. Any chance of you fixing it before we all need our connection for work in the morning? Asking for all your disgruntled customers. #VirginMediaDown

  • WhiskyOneIce
    Mark 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@WhiskyOneIce) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia Yes I have chased and chased and spent 4 hours today on WhatsApp, no advise just can't help because I have outstanding bill....no the line isn't active because it was ported over to Community Fibre on 8th July

  • Ashley_Rhysss
    #AshTag (@Ashley_Rhysss) reported from Southwark, England

    The service from @virginmedia is utterly dreadful. Had Wi-Fi issues so they sent someone out to rectify. Worked for 2 days then the same issues started again. Not had working Wi-Fi for the last 3 weeks. If your thinking of going with them for tv / internet, go with someone else.

    Virgin why do I keep losing my mobile network? @virginmedia (been trying to post this since 11am lol) as I have virgin broadband as well. 😤

  • PieFaceMark
    mark (@PieFaceMark) reported from Poplar, England

    Absolute nightmare with @virginmedia arranging new package. Since agreeing package deal yesterday I've received FOUR different emails telling me I'm gonna be paying four different amounts, all higher than what was agreed. Absolutely terrible customer service and real headache

  • illymus
    Illy Mus 💙 (@illymus) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia so you hike our prices up and then the Internet has been awful today. Left home at 6am, just got home and still the same issue. Our landline relies on Internet and so does my 83 year old mother who uses it. Remind me what I am paying for???

    @MartinSLewis Virgin Media are terrible, I had the phone package removed years ago as they kept billing me for calls I hadn’t made. If you don’t renew broadband contract they charge you extortionate fees. Terrible company.

  • entrustTMF
    entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported

    @aidan_codtello @virginmedia Good luck! When the service works at @virginmedia it's great-but when there's a problem you're pretty much on your own with a fanciful bunch of stories until you can finally get an engineer to pitch up. I always think that how they handle a problem is the measure of a company...

  • imzyii
    Ibam (@imzyii) reported

    @virginmedia Why should I DM so people cant see , sort your telephone options out make it easy press 1 for customer service bang straight in a queue and 2 for tv 3 for broadband but no you've made it so dam difficult

  • andyosb
    Andy (@andyosb) reported

    @Ofcom @virginmedia did exactly the same thing to me back in 2019! It was - and still is - the worst customer service experience of my life (and I'm now 65). I was just so relieved to escape them eventually. They're utter scum. Do yourself a favour & don't go anywhere near this company

    @virginmedia @virginmedia message sent midday today and no response not the best customer care

  • dollDCFC
    Dermot O'Leary (@dollDCFC) reported

    @virginmedia @siemaiqbal The only tweets we ever see here about Virgin are those complaining when their service has been interrupted, which is understandable.I wonder though what % of Virgin customers it represents? From personal experience my service has been out a very few times over 20+ years.

  • iadnan9
    Addy (@iadnan9) reported

    @virginmedia @ipa1869 Virgin Media fined £28m over 'deliberately dropping calls' and putting people on hold 'for no reason' Customers trying to cancel or switch were routinely put through the wringer by Virgin's customer service agents, an investigation by the regulator has found.
