  • emxme Emma Mendes da Costa (she/her) (@emxme) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia As in the above tweets, @obscurenonsense has already been on the phone to your engineers for an hour. Our upload speed is close to zero, and there is a recurring network problem in our area. You have made working from home a complete nightmare.

  • vickyleech75 Vicky Leech (@vickyleech75) reported from Littlehampton, England

    @virginmedia Could not offer services at new address so contract cancelled-now telling me I owe £200 & will send bailiffs round-despite murmurous phone calls to get this sorted & raising an urgent complaint 6 wks ago. Have taken advice from @Ofcom and @CISASUK Utter disgrace.

  • 619Ballard Sam Ballard (@619Ballard) reported from Littlehampton, England

    @bobster76 @virginmedia Maybe their WiFi is down 😂😂

  • rafthemaster Richard Frame (@rafthemaster) reported from Burgess Hill, England

    @theTunnelBear is there an issue using your service on @virginmedia - first time using their internet and I can’t access your website and my bear won’t activate (HTTPS error is thrown rather than a direct blocking notification) think @ThreeUK are also blocking your website

  • emxme Emma Mendes da Costa (she/her) (@emxme) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia After a total of hour and 15 minutes on the phone, @obscurenonsense was finally told that there is a known network issue affecting both wired and wireless devices in our area (BN3). We have not been given a time frame for its resolution.

  • marmite22 Jesse Baker 🇪🇺 (@marmite22) reported from Hove, England

    Work from home specifically to go on an all day conference call and @virginmedia goes down. Unbelievable.

  • annahumphrey99 Anna (@annahumphrey99) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia been dealing with such awful WiFi for 2 years in the house!!!Paid for faster speeds and a booster and literally cannot even connect to the internet at this point🤕🤕🤕

  • qubyte Dr Mark Everitt (@qubyte) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Yup, I’ve done that and run the test a few times. It all works when the WiFi is up, but when it’s down it can’t load the page anyway. Things connected with ethernet cables work fine, so the issue seems limited to the wireless network.

  • priyadeshingkar Prof Priya Deshingkar (@priyadeshingkar) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia Broadband has been v slow for days and seems to be completely down today.

  • JMOC89 James Crouch (@JMOC89) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia Yea IL call again sit in a que for an hour and you guys will do **** all again I'm sure

  • mike_the_frog Mike Coombes (@mike_the_frog) reported from Shoreham-by-Sea, England

    @virginmedia He said that the box needed replacing but didn’t have time to do it. My TV is unwatchable and your customer service is shoddy.

  • planetf1 Nigel Jones (@planetf1) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Thanks. Though the annoying aircraft was that before Xmas we did a test which failed so got offered appt bit had to skip as away over Xmas. Back and still down (power light flashing green even after reset) and hub3 UI stats show no sync but test all ok

  • mcoll72 Martin Coll (@mcoll72) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Poor handling of my complaint. Left without internet for 2 week when tried to move house with you. Was told that new address wasn’t covered when it was! took 2 days off work to sort! Compensation offered inadequate

  • planetf1 Nigel Jones (@planetf1) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia So knows need to call just odd behaviour and was hoping you get appt sorted yesterday. What did the broadband test actually mean if ok. Implies your network kit can access router which seems unlikely

  • EL_FLOREZ_ END OF LEVEL BOSS (@EL_FLOREZ_) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia I don’t have the number as it was withheld. But it was to our landline that no one has! Offshore from a busy call centre in India I think. Claimed to be looking after the lines and said our router had multiple errors (it has been slow recently) so sounded legit...

  • emxme Emma Mendes da Costa (she/her) (@emxme) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia Again, @obscurenonsense has spoken to your engineers already. It is a recurring, known issue that has stopped us working from home effectively. I feel like you haven't read our tweets properly.

  • rafthemaster Richard Frame (@rafthemaster) reported from Burgess Hill, England

    @virginmedia family recently got your services and are having a sound issue which looking online is a problem that’s been around a while but I can find if you ever published a resolution - sound on V6 box cuts out intermittently for a moment in Dolby Ditial Audio programs

  • clareypoos Clare Taylor (@clareypoos) reported from Sompting, England

    @virginmedia Your site is an absolute joke. I spent over 90 mins this morning trying to speak with someone but was passed about, I only want to change my package as the service you provide is not worth the £72 I'm paying! Now you've just told me the servers are down! #cross

  • rafthemaster Richard Frame (@rafthemaster) reported from Burgess Hill, England

    @virginmedia Hi - issue hasn’t resolved from reboot (didn’t appear to be an update). Also seeing very intermediate problems where programs freeze momentarily/blur (almost like on satellite when the weather gets in the way / when the hard drive was struggling to playback files)

  • angel_isabel420 Angel (@angel_isabel420) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia my internet has been so slow recently and now the hub isn’t working and have 0 internet. Help

  • Jbc729 Jack C (@Jbc729) reported

    (1) @virginmedia Credit where credit's due Having lambasted Virgin Media the week before last over complete loss of service for 3 days and the very poor response from customer service. I had to call again earlier on today to report a fault on our landline. 2 hours later

  • DavidCo98834724 David Copeland (@DavidCo98834724) reported

    @Switcher_ie Switch have sold me a wifi and landline contract to Virgin Media. The contract has been messed up. I called Switch to ask for help, they couldn't be less interested.

  • fionacoelho45 fiona coelho (@fionacoelho45) reported

    @virginmedia I'm not tech savvy, I just want to speak to a person who can resolve the issue, and find out why no tech showed up last Thursday.

  • Swebbiejr Dan webb (@Swebbiejr) reported

    @virginmedia I was mainly venting my frustration with virgin, it’s so obvious that there no concern with customer retention and it just doesn’t seem right.
