    Looks like @virginmedia is down in the #brighton BN1 area. Service status says back on lune at 22:45. great timing @virginmedia, nice one, really appreciate the inconvenience.

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

    Thank you @virginmedia? The outage fix will carry on for an additional 12 hours. You really know how to provide a great service, don't you? Well, not for me you don't. You've properly messed up my ability to have my work published tomorrow, thus, loss of business. #unimpressed

  • 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

  • GreyAmbition TheGreyAmbition (@GreyAmbition) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    Virgin media and there forever crap and diabolical service they provide ! Do an update on your crap

  • cjossy Joss (@cjossy) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia A bloody bot!!! What happened to customer service. You guys are a joke @richardbranson

  • 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

  • tommyp2222 Tom Pritchard (@tommyp2222) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia Issue says it should have been dealt with by 03:30 am ...... any update would be appreciated

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

    @virginmedia Service outage back again! No TV, no broadband, no landline, can't work, can't go out because of the pandemic. Being as polite as I can, I have to say, your service is utter shite.

  • KayleighBlaker Kayleigh Blaker (@KayleighBlaker) reported from Worthing, England

    When you call @virginmedia for assistance with installing your kit (box on the wall is faulty) and the advisor wishes she wasn’t there... I get you finish in 20 mins but doing GDPR and placing me on hold for ages isn’t on?! I pay for a service!

  • tommyp2222 Tom Pritchard (@tommyp2222) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia hey service is down on bn13 1bx can you hive me an update on when this will be working as I need to work #help

  • cjossy Joss (@cjossy) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia As slow as your broadband speed

  • leerobertson64 Lee Robertson FCSI FRSA (@leerobertson64) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia Sure although I do miss the days when companies who knew customers were having problems called them as opposed to the other way around. I’m a bit old fashioned that way I guess 🤔

  • GreyAmbition TheGreyAmbition (@GreyAmbition) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    9pm again at 11pm! so not only has the tv gone down it’s now the internet decides to go down. So sick of it! Does anyone in brighton have good internet connection ?- and if so give me names as I can’t deal with the poor service I get any longer @virginmedia @SkyUK someone help

  • ATS_Spencer Spencer Clark (@ATS_Spencer) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia Worthing BN114NN reset and rebooted router still nothing... Outage?

  • cjossy Joss (@cjossy) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia @Virginmedia and @richardbranson need to improve you customer service and the access. It’s a joke. I feel sorry for you working for them.

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

    @virginmedia No They did line tests Said it was fine Told me was my phone After 3 different handsets all different makes/models I highly doubt it was that Last I heard an engineer was coming Never showed! Lost the will to argue anymore Will just change providers instead

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

    @virginmedia It started as the phone ringing, at all hours day & night, but no one on other end. Then people ringing me on my mobile as wasn't answering landline I was home Phone hadn't rung Trying to call out & unable Changed handset Same problem.

  • mejones2121 Michael Jones (@mejones2121) reported from Woodingdean, England

    @virginmedia 2/2 customer services is just 'turn it off and on again on automated message' Can't speak to anyone. May cancel direct debit if I don't get some satisfaction and action soon to resolve issues which appear common place complaints

  • mejones2121 Michael Jones (@mejones2121) reported from Woodingdean, England

    @virginmedia anyone thinking of joining these clowns think again. No customer service. Read all of the comments under their adverts. Their advertising should be done under the Trades Description Act as it's nowhere near good enough even with the faster speeds.

  • MikeHobden Mike Hobden (@MikeHobden) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia I need to speak to someone to confirm cancellation of an installation. I am getting nowhere online as I am not an existing customer. Can you help?

  • JonnyBWoode Jon (@JonnyBWoode) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Is there any way that I can have the Sky Multiscreen access but only on the Sky Go app so I can see what I'm recording etc for less than £10 a month? Seems ridiculously high for a service I used to get on @virginmedia for free...

  • AM76Design Hudson (@AM76Design) reported

    @DJLKP @virginmedia I was having low speeds and bad range with Virgin and what sorted it was buying a router. Apparently the one you get supplied is really low quality. I’m now getting over 110mb with the new router.

  • zoeajayixo zoë (@zoeajayixo) reported

    Why is virgin media wifi so terrible

  • TaylerJade95 Tayler-Jade (@TaylerJade95) reported

    @virginmedia Have done it on multiple devices and all saying ‘NO KNOWN ISSUE’ but today has been the first time that it hasn’t decided to start dropping at 8pm and then keep doing it for the rest of the night, like the last couple of nights

  • Jonah6882 Jonah (@Jonah6882) reported

    @virginmedia How can I sync my Virginmedia TV signal to stay synced with my Samsung TV? I can adjust the audio delay on both devices but any options chosen still never keep synced!

  • veggiehowtocook Veggiehowtocook (@veggiehowtocook) reported

    @CFCMuzza @virginmedia I face this on a regular basis, have made a complaint not heard anything, its unacceptable
