    @virginmedia Hi, i am having some issues with the youtube app, i spoke to youtube they said to try uninstalling reinstalling the app, something i am unable to do as you provide this. It will just not load a video or whilst a playlist is playing it goes black.

    @virginmedia No it was the ‘general area fix’ (my engineer was cancelled by Virgin) which was then followed up with an email that said ‘everything is sorted’ which it was, until today when it was in and out again for hours. It’s ok now, but for how long?

  • FragileCreature
    Fragile Creatures (@FragileCreature) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    I've been waiting 2+ hours for a response over WhatsApp from @virginmedia 3 hours since first trying to reach them with Broadband down. Can't work, starting to think they just don't employ any staff. Second time I've had negligent service from them. Looking elsewhere asap.

  • garypleece
    Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Same, slow and occasionally dropping out

    @virginmedia Any idea when issues in BN14 will be fixed?

  • dizzymabil
    ydnam (@dizzymabil) reported from Sompting, England

    @virginmedia Seems its all over the area. Dozens of posts on local SM pages, people without service since late last night. Can't wait to change providers, to a company that actually supply what I pay for

  • AnneWebb777
    Anne Webb (@AnneWebb777) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia no landline for weeks and impossible to report. Sick of your company. Can’t even get through to CANCEL contract £105.75 this month maybe you will get in touch if I cancel next payment 🤬🤬

  • garypleece
    Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia So… are you saying work is being carried out today. Wait until tomorrow and then if still bad book an engineer? I can live with that. But the person I spoke to had no idea about that and just booked an engineer again. Can I ask have other people raised area issues?

  • SimonRusbridge
    Simon Rusbridge (@SimonRusbridge) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia tv and WiFi down in BN14?

  • garypleece
    Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia BN1 6FN - I’ve done the checks through your app and says no issue?

  • Sacto_King_UK
    Danny Williamson (@Sacto_King_UK) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia But I’ve been in touch with the phone teams, they can’t or don’t do anything’s. At all. The Social Team were in contact via email, but finish their shift, and don’t tell me. Then don’t get back in contact, or pass me on to a colleague. It’s terrible customer service

  • 5waysRichard
    Richard Williams (@5waysRichard) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia why would my Virgin internet go down at about 0045 every night ?

  • MrBrianRoe
    Brian Roe (@MrBrianRoe) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia your DNS TTL (a web server change time to live) is probably the worst on earth. My new website works everywhere in the world other than on #virginmedia broadband. You absolutely suck, big time. Crock of shite.

  • dizzymabil
    ydnam (@dizzymabil) reported from Sompting, England

    @virginmedia It's OK. I'll leave it Last call cost me over £8 & I didn't even get to speak to anyone. Ridiculously poor support

  • INEya_veganfood
    RJ Buddha (@INEya_veganfood) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia crisis with 50%+ increase in monthly costs for no reason. No increase in service, no additional benefits - nothing! Then an horrendous contact centre service.

  • Sacto_King_UK
    Danny Williamson (@Sacto_King_UK) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia No. Your staff don’t respond to emails when they come back on shift. I’d like to raise a complaint please. Please escalate this to your supervisor if this is something you can’t do. I’ve been waiting since 14th December. Do you feel this is acceptable customer service?

  • churchlard
    Churchlard (@churchlard) reported from Sompting, England

    @virginmedia @52marathonman Now have to wait until 19th July, absolute rubbish, apparently they had no contact details for me, yet had sent me 17 emails and a similar number of texts! Appalling service, so much for being new business!

  • DeanAyass

    @lufc1990 @virginmedia I sat down to catch up on Sky Sports News while I eat my lunch - telly's not working!!

  • barbados10
    chris rose (@barbados10) reported from Shoreham-by-Sea, England

    @virginmedia very quick to take £130 per month for services but very slow to fix it when things go wrong let’s check for Sky! #customerservice #unhappycustomer #bringbackRichardBranson

    entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported

    @virginmedia Seems fair comment-they aren't sensible! Googled "how effective making complaints to @virginmedia is" and came up with some very negative feedback culminating in: "customer feedback AND regulatory data suggest their handling of complaints is often seen as inadequate" Oh dear🙁

  • DanAaronTaylor
    Daniel Taylor (@DanAaronTaylor) reported

    @virginmedia VM/O2 account locked for security reasons. Spoke with someone on chat who requested it be unlocked within 5 days. This never happened. Called and asked again for my account to be unlocked. Again told this would be done. Hasn’t. Can this be escalated? I need access.

    @virginmedia trying to contact customer services but your system wont recognise my acct no, absolute joke!!!!!

  • Tesz
    Therese (@Tesz) reported

    @virginmedia your services including your chat and your agents are hopeless. Please can I have an email address for a formal complaint about repeated loss of service

    @virginmedia @keithapearson Virgin media should not be able to trade in UK, horrid company, I don't miss speaking to India, South Africa to name but two.

    John Mercer (@Merse2506) reported

    @virginmedia @A_MyRules1 I have had the same issuea and my box is ****. Never works buffering out of service channel failed. Cant go online link dont work tried calling

  • entrustTMF
    entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for the reply @virginmedia but, frankly, these are just platitudes as usual. What is needed is action to sort the problem and accurate fix dates as opposed to the random, made up,ones I've been given so far Also, why not supply clients with MiFi solutions to help them?

  • aidan_codtello
    Aidan Costello (@aidan_codtello) reported

    @entrustTMF @virginmedia Whereabouts are you out of interest? My daughter is working from home today at our house and says Virgin broadband has packed up. I'm in hospital for a few days so out of touch but wondering if problems are localised or nationwide. Thanks!

    @orange 151.217.0.0/16 AS62016 AS198198 AS42987 AS22879 AS199524 AS62016: Virgin Media 🇬🇧 AS198198: Telefonica Global Solutions 🇪🇸 AS42987: Virgin Media 🇬🇧 AS22879: Sirus, Inc 🇺🇸 AS199524: Gcore 🇳🇱 Location is Chicago. However, this case is slightly different. 151.217.0.0/16 is a "bogon", which means the network is not assigned to anyone at this time (and so nobody should be using it). After the first announcement, new (presumably fake) carriers were inserted into the BGP path as a decoy. The general modus operandi suggests that this is the same gang in action
