    @virginmedia Broadband/TV outage until 2:35pm but can’t register a loss of service as page doesn’t load. On 4G so problem is with you. Why advertise you’ll compensate if there’s no way to get it?!

  • WainwrightDean
    Dean Wainwright (@WainwrightDean) reported from Accrington, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for fixing it this morning, I trust given I’d no service for circa 36hrs I’ll see a credit upon my next bill?

  • lamsom
    Dave Gracey (@lamsom) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the phone, I can travel to different areas and get 4 bars on my phone and it works no problem, the problem is in the area I live.The reception always used to be fine but for quite some time now it’s been awful, I currently have one bar.

    @virginmedia Also given that link is for postal marketing how exactly does that help with phone calls? As it stands your systems are non-compliant

  • bazza_bee78
    🚩Bazza B 🏴 (@bazza_bee78) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia Waiting on an engineer now, none available until Saturday pm. That will be over 3 days without any service.

  • jaswinburne1
    James Swinburne (@jaswinburne1) reported from Silsden, England

    @virginmedia It’s technical issues with the broadband and network stability issues. No one wants to help, I’ve spoken to 3 technicians and no one has offered a resolution. Joke

  • hossfitt
    Paul Cartwright (@hossfitt) reported from Keighley, England

    @virginmedia I have contacted live chat just now outage apparently estimated fix time 14th June rediculous that can't watch TV or work from home

  • suziealderton
    #hellomynameisSuzie (@suziealderton) reported from Silsden, England

    @virginmedia absolutely rubbish service since we left @skytv and went over to you. Tv/broadband/phone off again on the whole of our estate-not much help to people working from home. Wont be renewing our contract with you, and will be checking how soon we can cancel!

  • lamsom
    Dave Gracey (@lamsom) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia Your mobile network is crap & your customer service is just as bad.

  • Sam_yates4

    @neilayates @virginmedia I believe they were the "3rd Party" that also caused the Microsoft 365 outage which killed our session yesterday!

    @virginmedia Hi , I just wanted to ask if you could help me concerning my Internet at home , its not been working all weekend at all, it connects but nothing please can we sort the problem ASAP Thank You

    𝕄𝔸𝕋𝕋𝕐𝔹𝕆𝕆𝕊ℍ (@MATTYB00SH) reported from Burnley, England

    @virginmedia Yes it works on my phone browser, but not on laptop, so I'll just continue using that method, thanks. One more question; Why do your customer support agents ask for a security password that I use when speaking to an agent, despite being a new customer and haven't set this up yet

  • wightpie
    Wightpie (@wightpie) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia So why then a) does it specify postal and b) not provide a field for mobile number. At best it’s misleading and at worst incompetent

    @virginmedia What I’m saying is that the service status says “no known issues”. You just acknowledged that there is a known issue. Why is service status saying “no known issues?”

  • shieldgamerx
    ⚽ 🙌 LUFC Rich 🙌 ⚽ (@shieldgamerx) reported

    @virginmedia No problem, I'm always happy to try and help... Plus I don't have to stick to a script & appease CS rules & regs 😜.

  • deadredcrayon
    Lewis Somerscales (@deadredcrayon) reported

    So Virgin Media who I’ve been with for nearly all my time in London are offering lovely cheaper deals for new customers. While I, a fairly loyal customer, get charged £45 for just broadband. Time to move then.

  • mummychelle
    Michelle (@mummychelle) reported

    @virginmedia No. There's no issue. It says the broadband is working. The issue is with the WiFi dropping out to the devices

  • cherylockerby
    cheryl (@cherylockerby) reported from Barry, Wales

    @virginmedia I’ve had a text to say our issue will be resolved by 1/12 but this seems to be a continuous issue and I have a child trying to do schoolwork from home due to Covid so it’s vital our BB is working and for our heating too which works via wifi.

  • bladesrallyteam
    Bladesrallyteam (@bladesrallyteam) reported

    @virginmedia @JimboUK71 Always the same comment the wired is so intermittent you cannot pin down the issues but it is the crap Puma Chipset in the Hub3 when put under pressure

  • renmiguel
    Renato Almeida (@renmiguel) reported

    @virginmedia 2 months internet has been dropping every 20 mins, 2 written complaints no replies. Phone call last week and engineer sent to fix area hub, nothing changed. To top it all yesterday and today theres been no internet due to an ongoing issue in the area! Canceling ASAP

  • coops_99
    Steve Cooper (@coops_99) reported

    @virginmedia Still no luck, they can see WiFi is not working but do not know what the problem is...... They will apparently call me back in the next hour, over a week now and still the same problem 😡

  • johngirvin

    @virginmedia All good. It sorted itself out after half an hour. Internet down for half an hour? I call that coffee time.
