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

    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 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

  • scotthortop Scott Hortop (@scotthortop) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia I thought as much. I have never received such a call before - It is as if they were targeting telephone numbers affected by yesterdays outage.

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

    @virginmedia getting somewhat irked at the constant failure in the delivery of your services. And please don't apologise, it won't fix the broadband issue. You are now costing me money. This is not ideal. It's time for me to find a company that can deliver reliable broadband.

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

    @virginmedia As slow as your broadband speed

  • scotthortop Scott Hortop (@scotthortop) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Yes, everything seems to be working now. However, I have just received a call from Virgin Media, or someone purporting to be you, telling me that I had poor broadband performance , and I needed to sit in front of my laptop to fix it. I soon hung up, getting the wrong vibes.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia Call you...? How do you think I found out about the issues? I wasted hours on the phone calling the numbers you have quoted. Give me strength.

  • scotthortop Scott Hortop (@scotthortop) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia All your cable services are down right now, but can you explain why I can't access the programs recorded on the hard drive my virgin box? That makes no sense...

  • 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

  • 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

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

    Thank you @virginmedia you are yet again delivering an unacceptable service! Broadband intermittent, cant work, nothing on a status update, yet an apology on front of the phone message. I've had better connectivity in a Sri Lankan jungle.

  • SamM44S Mas (@SamM44S) reported

    @virginmedia Hey Virgin. Just so you are aware it has taken a representative on your web chat 45 MINUTES just to give me a price on a new contract! 45 MINUTES!!!! Unbelievably slow service.

  • TheBoyUK Lewis Cole (@TheBoyUK) reported

    @virginmedia Hello, my pre pull for our broadband installation has been delayed every day this week. We had an awful experience with Sky and when speaking to one your team, they guaranteed internet would be installed on the 6th of March. Is there a number to speak with (1)

  • c17araw Clara Bisset (@c17araw) reported

    @virginmedia I still can’t get someone to cancel my account. I will just have to cancel the direct debit

  • Donnataylor971 Donna taylor (@Donnataylor971) reported

    @virginmediadon1 @virginmedia We used to be with talk talk for our business. virgin said theyd price match for fibre, they installed it and didnt do the direct debit cut us off..first we knew dead phone . Charged us a lot more a month than they promised. I will never use virgin again for home or work,.

  • garethaprice Gareth Price (@garethaprice) reported

    @virginmedia Your code of practice, it isn’t really a code of practice. There is no stated procedure or commitment. It is just a generic “contact us” page. The irony is, I’ve contacted you several times since January but you just return me back to the start. You never engage.

  • ali_attalla 3lawe (@ali_attalla) reported

    @virginmedia Probably, I don't care about the complaints now. I just want my internet to work properly. I want to have what I've had previously working services so I never have to contact the liers at your customer service. EVERY call is a new story.

  • ali_attalla 3lawe (@ali_attalla) reported

    @virginmedia No I don't want to call. Wait 1 hour and then have someone who's rude lie to me.. already tried that 17 times.

  • fatoldred Fat Old Red (@fatoldred) reported

    @virginmedia Less than useful webchat. They just didn’t get the issue. Please can I speak to someone who can help me resolve the issue?

  • LSheasby Liam (@LSheasby) reported

    @virginmedia Seemingly fine again. I had over 200 mbps down, 20 mbps up yesterday when this issue was happening, which was what led me to believe packet loss. Frustrating but it happens.

  • SiobainSiobain Siobain (@SiobainSiobain) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve had this hub as it is with no problems for almost a year! So why should I now have to pay more now.
