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

    @virginmedia As slow as your broadband speed

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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 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...

  • 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

  • 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

  • fabsalva Fabrizio Salvatore (@fabsalva) reported from Woodingdean, England

    @virginmedia is there a known issue in the BN2 6 area of Brighton with your broadband? Crashed at 14:30 and hub seems to be unable to rejoin the network...

  • 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

    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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • stanwowi stanwowi FBPE (@stanwowi) reported

    @SangeetaITV Not for me....@virginmedia Where's my ITV regional news? @itvmeridian been binned in favour of ITV Granada on my cable service

  • Edge_Creator Edge-Creator (@Edge_Creator) reported

    @virginmedia Sky we had issues with that were different but considering everything with them, they did not have bandwidth and coverage issues with the same num of devices connected via wifi too. Virgin cant handle anything. Its shocking.

  • TraceyK77299980 Tracey Knowles (@TraceyK77299980) reported

    What do you have to do to speak to someone @virginmedia Signed up in December. Got given a re conditioned box, the worst wifi speeds ever. Been on hold forever, emailed customer services on 4th Jan, said it would take 28days for someone to get back to me. Still nothing.

  • ddphotograph Dominic DEAN 📸 (@ddphotograph) reported

    @DavidMcAusland @virginmedia I have had Virgin for years but in a month I have never experienced this many outages

  • KarlThyer Karl (@KarlThyer) reported

    @virginmedia had problems with my internet cutting in and out for a few hours now, can someone tell me what the issue is.

  • SiHoulton Si Houlton (@SiHoulton) reported

    @MoAldalou @virginmedia Assuming you’re talking about broadband it’s generally assumed you contact a new provider and sign up with them. The systems in place are generally to support that behaviour. I know it’s super frustrating though.

  • Kevin1414 Kevin Malcolm (@Kevin1414) reported

    @Bigbirdy79 @virginmedia Same here Tracey, very poor service from @virginmedia

  • drummer_hindle Jake Hindle (@drummer_hindle) reported

    @virginmedia I have check everything and restarted it and it's a problem with wired and wireless.

  • helen_keohane helen devall (@helen_keohane) reported

    @sophiegalvinx @virginmedia We have had the exact same thing happen. Our contract cancelled apparently by someone else. No correspondence to myself to tell me this would happen. Then told to ring out landlord. To @virginmedia you did this you fix this

  • CiaranJohn_ ciaran (@CiaranJohn_) reported

    @virginmedia was told an engineer would call me between 10 and 2 today and never happened?
