    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.

    @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

    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

    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...

  • 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 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • pwvoiceovers
    Patrick Woodward (@pwvoiceovers) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia You asked me to contact you to fix an issue but there are no options to do so. Phone number, when I found it, just led to a bot. Poor service.

  • 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

  • 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 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.

    @virginmedia It's been a mess all afternoon. You've really got to do better than this - your response to this outage has been a miserable failure.

  • Adam69459003
    Adam (@Adam69459003) reported

    @virginmedia so I receive an email saying how you’re going to up my price and remove benefits such as out of home wifi and that it’s free to cancel until 04/04/23. But I’ve been trying to call since yesterday and get “our team are busy, good bye”. Such a dodgy company.

  • Hortini
    Rick Houghton (@Hortini) reported

    @virginmedia terrible service once again, you put my bill up and there has been no working internet for most of today - refunds please!

    @Swindyyyy @virginmedia We only got @CommunityFibre access this year after waiting for years for G Network and Hyperoptic delaying over and over. And it's been a genuine night and day difference. The random DNS dropouts and widespread issues are over.

  • BringYoAGame
    Bring Your A Game (@BringYoAGame) reported

    @virginmedia Have no broadband, flashing blue light on my hub 4 router, reset twice. Tried the 0345 number and it didn't work. No working apps. All went down about an hour ago. Anything you can do about this?

  • LeePartridge16

    @PeteOrn @virginmedia Sounds like a all to often problem with them.
