-
Baltazarka (@MiaZagica) reported from Lambeth, England@virginmedia Never had we have such a terrible Internet service. Absolutely NEVER. "Can't find server.", for whatever page we want, day after day. Then it finds the server; next minute - puff! Gone! Absolutely abysmal.

JamesLee85 (@jameslee_1985) reported from Croydon, EnglandApologies for the stream interruption last night folks- @virginmedia my ISP is dealing with a large service outage. Hopefully back up tonight!
-
Mark 🏴 (@WhiskyOneIce) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia Obviously i don't have proof because your site doesn't say send recorded so why would i, my number was ported in July and I wrote same time, I have no reason to not send letter and you can see from any data usage that I stopped using your service
-
Millwall halfwayline (@millwalljdb) reported from Camberwell, England@philclarke0170 Virgin media seems to be the problem
-
Befitat50 (@befitat50) reported from Lambeth, England@virginmedia what’s going on again with this internet at sw4? You just can’t fix a problem? Please don’t come up with your usual excuses and fix itttttt..
-
Adam H-Matthews (@AdamHMatthews) reported from Camberwell, England@virginmedia How does £8.40 a day cover 2 people unable to work for a full day? Still no contact from Virgin engineer or any comment on what the issue is? The time to fix the issue just keeps getting later.
-
Philip 🦅 (@Phil_Swallow) reported from Croydon, EnglandThere’s a new Hitron Chita paperweight from @vmbusiness @vmbusinesshelp - it’s expensive but the only thing it can do without going out of service every few minutes
-
anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from Bromley, EnglandMy 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.
-
Jane Common (@JaneCommon) reported from Camberwell, England@virginmedia It obviously is an area issue as we have an area WhatsApp group and everyone’s internet is down: but I don’t have time to call as I have appointments all afternoon and knowi will be stuck in a queue for an hour minimum. Can you email to alert them to the issue???
-
Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴 (@Andrew007Uk) reported from Sutton at Hone, EnglandListening to the broadband presentation on @itvMLshow with some irony. I pay @virginmedia £79/month for broadband/phone & TV. BB/TV failed in November, after many calls they say it will be fixed in March 2023 😬 Compensation is only calculated when service is restored 😪 Fair?
-
Nick Tippett (@nicktippett) reported from Croydon, England@virginmedia Pre install was yesterday with technician linking my house to virgin and ever since I've had no Internet from my current provider. spoke with pre install last night, and today, total of 4 handlers then cust. Service with no resolution and nobody wanting to deal with it now!
-
Mark 🌈🏳️🌈 (@markselondon) reported from Blackheath, England@virginmedia Broadband gone down again in SE3 8HT area, I’ve reset the hub 3times and still no Wi-Fi or broadband. I’m using data on my phone again.
-
Tim Hyson (@timhyson) reported from Bromley, England@virginmedia 20 hours of being passed around your customer ‘care’ teams and no progress. And yet I doubt this is even close to a record.
-
Andrew Battle (@andy_s_battle) reported from East Ham, England@virginmedia No effort is made to rectify the problem they just want to change to VOIP with no regard to a customer who spends over £1200 a bear for all devices, I wonder what offcom would think
-
Mark 🏴 (@WhiskyOneIce) reported from Sutton at Hone, EnglandBe 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
-
William (@willbassoumba) reported from Camberwell, EnglandVirgin media is down and I actually have to talk to my family… yuck.
-
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???
-
JJ Hazan (@HazanJJ) reported from Blackheath, England@virginmedia Still down in Lewisham SE8 for me
-
Simon Groutage (@myball123) reported from Bexleyheath, England@virginmedia hi there, all of our services have dropped out in the last ten minutes, the router changed to a flashing red light without anybody touching it. I have rebooted the router and it comes back on but is still flashing red. No TV, no WiFi, no landline help please

👾 (@Omersaeela) reportedHey @virginmedia Its been 2 days my account is locked and not getting any response from support after calling them for hours how can i cancel my services and get new wifi ?
-
Dave Flower (@flower15218) reported@virginmedia They can call me when they know they’re coming down and I can take them to the cabinet. Might be easier 👍
-
Andy Duncan (@andyduncan84) reported@virginmedia I’m having problems with your newly installed service. Your chat service is rubbish & I’ve been on hold for over 45mins! This is not a great start! Someone better get in touch with me soon or I’ll be cancelling my direct debit!
-
Bob Price - bobsrailrelics (@Huxleypiguk) reportedAnd finally, got through, but transferred so another 30 minutes wait. Package sorted but oh my word, @virginmedia sort yourselves out: 1. Employ more first line staff 2. Fix your chat bot 3. Get a catalogue of hold music. The same track over and over again is torture.
-
Steve Smith (@SteveSmith98) reportedHi @virginmedia. Fault F012283434 started last Thursday and you're now saying you don't intend to fix it at all this week. Do you actually think it's OK for your customers to be unable to work for a week? Could you not even try to explain what's wrong and what you're doing?
-
linda butler (@butler47) reported@virginmedia No.The account is in my name only.When I sign in I can access my bill etc but,when I scroll down to the quick email link it’s my ex husband’s emails I see not my own.Apparently a ticket was raised to help fix this problem but as yet I am still waiting on someone getting back 2 me
-
OfficialJohnHarrison AWMM 3838 (@jph1962) reported@virginmedia system down since last night. Unplugged cables etc - can you advise please I live in NG12 4DB
-
Owain (@OCP_84) reported@virginmedia @quidco @Top_CashBack ...which always inevitably routes the customer to cancellations after being offered an initial substandard rip off deal. You are treating your current members like dirt. You really have to review your retention initiatives, and put offers in place for EXISTING CUSTOMERS
-
Jamie Daltry (@JamieDaltry) reported@O2 yet again I have to deal with your hateful webpage & app. Since your ill advised tie in with virgin media the whole experience is awful. If it weren’t for your coverage, I would leave immediately. Just signing in is a minefield, gave up on VAT invoice yrs ago, just the pits.
-
George Gros (@GeorgeGros) reportedEmbarrassing customer service with @virginmedia. 9 calls to upgrade my service AND sign up my mother, but reps are hugely untrained, unhelpful and the amount of times I was cut off and put on hold is endless. 2.5hrs down and i am no further sorted, despite speaking to a manager!
