  • ianeastlondon IanEastLondon (@ianeastlondon) reported from Poplar, England

    @virginmedia It was to try and fix my router / modem issues. I didn’t arrange it, the person I spoke to not the phone (the fifth person) said she had arranged it.

  • ReneeDoegar Renee Doegar (Cohn) (@ReneeDoegar) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia Yes there’s been an issue logged in SW2 since yesterday morning at 11. Any idea how serious an issue it is?

  • howedali VanHowe (@howedali) reported from Lambeth, England

    I am trying working from home however there is no internet service in SW9 0RH from yesterday morning, that’s a shame @virginmedia @Virgin !!!!

  • IanBorrett ian (@IanBorrett) reported from Lambeth, England

    Another day without @virginmedia service, cannot report a fault and yet these wankers continue to charge me. Avoid like the plague.

  • AdiStaempfli Adi Staempfli (@AdiStaempfli) reported from London, England

    I understand it takes time to replace fibre optics. I don‘t understand why @virginmedia sends out messages that are plain wrong. My connection is not working, has not been working ever since Tuesday evening. Is this to avoid having to pay back customers?

  • silverback1809 Shane Pender (@silverback1809) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia Oh good just thought it was a strange one as I’m pretty sure you’d email/text that kind of information. Any news on the other issue mentioned?

  • alij_price Alison Price (@alij_price) reported from Bromley, England

    Die to have @virginmedia installed 13/3 they turned up today for outside works and found a blockage so another permit needed before the work can go ahead! Customer service useless!!!

  • camjwall Cameron (@camjwall) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia No, unsurprisingly almost 48 hours later the issue is resolved. Would have been nice to receive some communication. Can you provide details on compensation arrangements.

  • AngusTeee Angus Teee (@AngusTeee) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia Please can you explain why broadband has gone down in the London N1 area and what you are doing to remedy this? I have an urgent deadline to hit and currently have no internet access ...

  • t1m1964 tim (@t1m1964) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia I need to be able to speak to someone in the uk about an elder vulnerable person who is without service. please advise.

  • musofunk Shane Patrick Cullinan (@musofunk) reported from Lambeth, England

    . @virginmedia you need an honest statement about the situation in South London now. For lonely elderly people to lose TV for 2 DAYS is isolating & cruel when it’s possibly the only company they have. Do better. Communicate. Be honest. Get a resolution. #virginmedia #London

  • ReneeDoegar Renee Doegar (Cohn) (@ReneeDoegar) reported from Lambeth, England

    @niamhskinner @virginmedia Unfortunately it’s still out in SW2 for me. The time they are suggesting a fix keeps getting later and later. I have no idea how big of an issue it is, but it’s taking a rather long time to repair!

  • tufnelljimmy James Anderson 🏛 (@tufnelljimmy) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia I’m afraid your service status is wrong. There is a problem and my broadband speed is a fraction of what I pay for.

  • ReneeDoegar Renee Doegar (Cohn) (@ReneeDoegar) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia wifi down in Brixton (SW2). It says you’re not getting it fixed until tomorrow?! Any chance it will be done sooner than this? It’s a pretty vital resource for many of us right now!

  • philipwallingon The Wing Commander (@philipwallingon) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia Eventually. I had to ask to talk to customer disconnections before I got a satisfactory response. Technician will call on Wednesday which in fairness is probably as quick a box in the post but with the benefit of a human touch.

  • t1m1964 tim (@t1m1964) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia Certainly, but I would prefer not to in open messages for obvious reasons. Suffice to say, old, ill, no service, cancelled appointment by text.

  • chinaheart7 Karen Louise 💙💞🌈🙏 (@chinaheart7) reported from Dartford, England

    @Matthew_Wright @virginmedia Go to BT. Never had any BS from them.

  • alij_price Alison Price (@alij_price) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia I ordered virgin on 17/2 no permit was applied for until the week my install was due (13/3) I got a text at 9pm the night before saying it couldn’t happen and now workmen have today told me they need another permit to dig up further down the road!!!

  • ianeastlondon IanEastLondon (@ianeastlondon) reported from Poplar, England

    @virginmedia Sometimes. But that’s not the issue. It behaves the same if not connected to VPN.

  • silverback1809 Shane Pender (@silverback1809) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia @virginhelp my other half has had 2 phone calls this morning saying our internet/router will be going down in 4hrs as we need a new box or router? Is this genuine? Also any chance some1 will come back to link us up to our own connection and not next doors?

  • BillNightingale Bill (@BillNightingale) reported

    @virginmedia Never heard back from them. After months and trying every medium on offer I have been unable to speak to anyone to resolve the issue.

  • DonnaMcCheese Lady Rose (@DonnaMcCheese) reported

    @virginmedia DISGUSTED with the (lack of) service... had enough, I want my account cancelled! 🤬🤬🤬

  • jono_one john o'neill (@jono_one) reported

    @virginmedia Couldn't book an engineer, the technical team say there is a fault in the area that won't be fixed for over a week, having already been down nearly a week. I explained that the poor picture quality predated the dates given for the fault but they wouldn't help me

  • robbiederby Robin Palmer (@robbiederby) reported from Derbyshire, England

    Any existing customers wanting to upgrade to the new #Virgin360 box, don't use the online form, it doesn't work. You'll get a confirmation email followed by an email requesting you call them. Their customer service is very busy, but it's excellent on 0345 454 1111. #virginmedia

  • fletcherlittle fletcher little (@fletcherlittle) reported

    @virginmedia Media, the mobile account is even worse, was told I would have 1 direct debit, I now have 5,cgarged for a number I have never used, no idea what it is, wife has no credit for a month, was told account didn't exist, although I was paying £23 a month for it, just a shambles..

  • mitson33 Kate Mitson (@mitson33) reported

    @virginmedia COM104274432 one of the numbers you have is the phone that is the issue but you have had the number of one I am using the whole time

  • julie_almond Julie (@julie_almond) reported

    @virginmedia To be honest very rude, was a call centre abroad, said a manager would call me back within 2hrs, that was 3 weeks ago. Disgusting the way your customers are spoken to. Oh and I did request that call was recorded

  • nw3isme NW3isme (@nw3isme) reported

    @virginmedia Are you able to provide me with customer service support here?
